I blame the matchups in the game. Unfortunately all of the Protoss players who could advance are getting raeped by much better players before they even have a chance to advance and gain some momentum.

I dont think the protoss powerhouses are serious enough in GOM. Stork and Jangbi wouldn't lose to the 2 rookies if it was MSL/OSL and its PvT as well. SKT don't even give a damn. It would probably be the compy as least prestigious and only serve for foreign fans that they don't care.

I don't see why the maps get so little attention, the maps are the main reason for the Protoss downfall in both the other leagues (see OSL prelims) and SPL. It seems that the maps swing between favouring Zerg and Protoss while Terran always does alright on them. I'm not even sure what would make a map anti-Terran, maybe some weird island map that was all air?

The only reason why toss dominated so much last season is the maps. I'm glad to see Z and T getting back into action.

Certainly not Jaedong. (Joking. I know Free has a positive record against JD, but I still wouldn't call Free the favorite)

The main reason there aren't any Protosses in this tournament is that the SKT1 protoss lineup isn't participating. GOM shouldn't be blamed for that.

Well... last season got slightly dull with all the protoss domination. And TvZ is my favorite match up to watch; I can't say I'm not looking forward to the next few rounds regardless of whether Protoss players are in them. Just hopefully the finals won't be tvt T-T
