The question is : why ? Are good players less attracted by this race because of how it can evolve/how it’s played ? Balance issues ? Is it just because there no other good protoss here (Socke, Tester…) ? I’m scared SC2 will turn like BW with difficult times for protoss (except the Bisu era now definitely over) ![]() | ||

Other than that, stats show that there are more protoss players than zerg players overall. | ||

I’m scared SC2 will turn like BW with difficult times for protoss (except the Bisu era now definitely over) ![]() It's mostly because not that many Ps were invited (Where's Socke ffs?) + White-ra really dropped the ball badly, he s cerainly good enough to be in the quarters, Huk got unlucky a bit, i guess he already thought he would advance, but Morrow got hismelf 2-0ed which left Huk no chanse to qualify, so he fcked up his game against Artosis. At least the 3rd game, which i saw, was totally a throw away. And here are mostly Europeans, and P just doesnt seem to be that popular in Europe. Once i was checking the ladders, and i think at the SEA server Ps outnumbered Ts in the top 50 or 100, unheard of, i know, but it seemed like that. | ||

I am talking about the tip top players like Idra, Tester, Cool, etc. No considering the balance of the game here, there are much more « zerg heroes » than « protoss heroes ». I mean… so so so so much more. | ||

Apparently they've listed all of the matches starting at 14:25h on the main page. According to the schedule it's still Hasu vs Dimaga on ESL TV: http://www.esl-world.net/masters/season5/gamescom/schedule/ | ||

I don't think that you can count the campain and the liberty as a factor for choosing terran at pro level ... | ||
