Protoss 7 Zerg 4 Terran 2 Also doesn't mean the races are balanced, but it indicates protoss aren't really struggling to get to the finals of tournaments. You're perhaps right, but in other circumstances (like where the best players play) statistics are a lot different, e.g. the last GSL season, where terrans and protoss won 34% and 39% of their games against zerg. Of course, that's just bad luck and hot zergs, right? Also none of the protoss winners of premier tournaments you mentioned had to face a Korean zerg in order to win. Actually, only one of the tournaments (Partings BWC win) even contained Korean zergs. | ||

On that note, we bring you the most amusing stat of the group: GoOdy is 6 – 7 against Stephano all time. In fact, he even won their last meeting at Battle in Berlin. To this day, we're not entirely sure how that happened, but the world is a better place because of it. GoOdy fans, feel free to ignore the cries of "but that was over a year ago!" coming from the Stephano fans, and make sure to remind everyone that the Panzer General has the Frenchman's number. It's easy: GoOdy had one of the best TvZ and Stephano was always bad with his Ling/Ultra vs Mech players. I'm getting annoyed by writters not to acknowledge how good GoOdy was. He was far ahead of most players in a lot of things. He beat Nestea when Koreans where waaaaaay better than foreigners. He had a number on every Zerg in the world as long as it hadnt been Nerchio (or now Hyun). After the queen patch though everything went downhill. on another note: gogo Carlo smash TLO! | ||

GoOdy with his 25 APM one of the best TvZ in the world? ROFL | ||

Because the thing that bugs me the most by the current casters is that they simply ignore the zerg power atm. They treat every ZvP like its 50% win chance for everyone. And if the Zerg player wins, its because the P did major mistakes. Same goes for ZvT. Im sick of that kind of reasoning by the casters. Fact is that at the moment its incredibly hard for P and T to beat Z. Its frusttrating, you just have to make verything perfect.I want PROs to express their feelings about that, talking about how they feel when they play. I dont want to hear for the standard casters "Oh, the Protoss should have attacked EXACTLY at 12:35, then the Zerg was at his weakest". Thats too simple. I get your fustration, but asking a caster to take balance into account is silly. How would it look if the final comment on a GSL final was "Aww MVP played almost perfect, too bad the game is broken and Life won". Pro gamers can whine as much as they like (although mostly it doesn't suit them imo), but casters has to take an objective stance, else your talking away the acknowledgement of the player which is totally unacceptable. On a more importen note, BABYKNIGHT FIGHTING! You got your group EASILY! | ||

That said its more a case of watching the games and seeing dominant Tosses still end up losing to infestor-broodlord. Part of this is probably form (only Hero and Parting playing well as Toss atm, vs lots of hot Zergs), but the matchup looks imbalanced to many (I still almost always win PvZ tho, parting build ftw). If you take out games with BL's and/or infestors then it's a 95% win ratio for Toss (I can make things up too) This tournament will be fun to watch and pro commentary, imo, makes it fun/nier because they are not objective and do point out mistakes as well as complain more than any caster | ||
