Looking at his match history, he's been mostly playing custom games, so that doesn't mean anything.

Heck, Jinro is still in diamond - he just plays custom games with his teammates I think.

Custom games don't affect your win %. win % is calculated off of ladder games & ladder games only.

As long as we don't end up with a PvP final i don't care about the fact that there is a lot of P's in Code S next season... on the other hand it will def be a higher risk for it

Top going rax, fact

I like how people changed from complaining about Terran being Imba to Toss being imba just because Tosses started playing better without any balance changes except maps. Tosses are using FFs better and microing better. It is time for terran to change their meta game, tosses are playing specifically to beat the current terran builds while terrans are not changing.

People have short memories. They seem to have forgotten that we had a 100+ page protoss QQ thread. That QQ is now gone without a single balance change, just different standard builds.

I'm pretty sure we'll see the same happen to terran.

That said, any perceived balance has nothing to do with MVP going to code A. He was utter turd in those games and has been for a while.

Yea what it means is that the balance shifts very fast in such a young game with minimal patches.

TvP was very heavily in Terran favor in early GSL and seems like it has now shifted.

It might change again in the next few weeks just because people might figure out new style. That happens.

Yeah, this.
In GSL 1 to GSTL (not included), terrans were nearly always favorites in TvP (the big period of protoss whine). A protoss needed to play extra good to win a PvT serie.
From GSTL to now, protoss are always favorites in PvT (without balance patch) (the period of terran whine is not here yet, but it will come until terran figure out protoss like protoss did, but this took 3+ months). A terran needs to play extra good to win vs protoss. Nearly all terran wins have been an exception (like jinro vs MC) (and it's not only true in GSL, it's true in TSL, in ieM, everywhere)
That's a good lesson for all balance whiners.
