I am also confused why TL seems to hate protoss with a passion. Over the history of SC the race we have seen dominate the least is protoss.
oh well I love all races equally. Sucks that there was no Bisu!

what do you mean least dominent is protoss, there are plenty of protoss starleague wins... just look up bisu/anytime/reach and you'll easily find periods where toss owned.

Not that I care about STX or anything, but why did Gom's bracket's have basically all of the STX players on one side (and corner), so if they win, they'll end up facing teammate after teammate?

Anytime and Reach only have 1 OSL title each. Though they are great players, I wouldn't say they were dominant. What he said is correct, Protoss are historically the least dominant race.

Ro 8: Skyhigh
Ro 4: Flash
Finals: Jaedong

Now it's possible that Skyhigh/Flash/Jaedong will lose before this, but just looking at what he actually has to play against even in theory makes my head hurt.


Wow... O_O I'm going to root for kal now.

Poor protoss at least (Z)Jaedong can go Superdong vs the Z and T.

Waiting to see (Z)Falcon come out of Jaedong's shadow and actually show that OZ isn't a one man team.

very good, good writing
im protoss fan, but yeah - toss performances in last 3 month were weak. and basiclly, i can't see even one toss player in semifinals. that's not good for fans, but even more - very bad for young toss players. i really enjoy style and tactics that young and uknown but talented zergs do in korea nowadays. i think Zerg is race that will evolve once more soon, and there will be no more 'goons era'.

so, whenever i see young toss player in korea, i really cheer for him - just like i saw pure play in 2007 and im waiting for his "boom" till today, but you know - it's all happening too slow. zerg will dominate kespa top30 soon, i think

i can't wait to see violet vs luxury. and dude, im not so sure, if lux can take it. first of all, his proligue performance is just horrible - 5 losses streak (worst in his career), when violet is on 5 winning streak (best in his career). but it doesn't even mean so much if you remember thath both of them are teammates. and we saw it so many times - one young lion eating his friend 3:0, cause they know each other better than coach.

still, looking forward each game in gom
I apologize for all my english mistakes. I used to write really good senteces in this lenguage, but nowadays, i smoke too much weed and drink too much vodka. So you must forgive me :)

outside the 6 dragons + much and backho, you REALLY don't expect any protoss to make it past the Ro32 in any league.


Thats a lot for one race, actually. Last year I would be hard pressed to expect any Zerg but Jaedong to get anything done in the individual leagues.

Part of the problem with Protoss is that during their most dominant era, which is 2007 to Now, they have made TONS of finals but failed to clinch a huge number of them- mostly due to two people- the Samsung twin towers Jangbi and Stork. Between them they have six Starleague silver medals out of 7 finals appearances. On top of that you have Kal & Best with silver medals in the last 2 years, and Bisu has one of his own, and he's the only one to have any sort of good success in the finals of Starleagues. Add that up and you get 9 Protoss 2nd place finishes over just 2 years.
