If it's not cheese that you're crying about, it's something about your race. When a zerg wins, it's "perfect play" that outplays his opponent. Its funny how people imply that the majority of people who play zerg are qq'ers by nature. The reason why so many zerg's qq must be because there must be an issue in balance with the race. Or because they have a role model who shares his opinions freely.
Not that, that discredits what he's saying. But most of these Zergs are just sheep. Whether the game has become balanced or not. They'll blame a Zerg's loss on imbalance 'till their idol says it isn't so.
Sorry If I'm coming across strong :\

In conclusion I don't see how this proves anything, especially the bold remarks tasteless made. If these games are the criteria for being "One of the best Terrans in Korea" or "Amazing TvZ player" then that speaks to a sadness of the state of this game.

sC is easily one of the best terrans in Korea (and thus the world), sC has the RESULTS (Top4 in the GSL!) to prove it. When results rule , everything else is just QQ.

i still think losira is the better player, and i think sc basically was admitting that by the way he played. not to take anything away from him, he knew what he had to do if he was going to win and he did it.
basically, if losira was playing his most practiced style and the same for sc, losira would have owned him... IMO

I loved the games today, and sC clearly played better, whether it is the case that LosirA was better or not.
However,
when BW players rage about this series, they complain that 1) in SC1, terran was the "hardest" race to execute and play at a high level, but if played correctly, it was a monster (see: BoxeR, NaDa, oov, Flash, etc) 2) in SC2, zerg requires more multitasking and management, yet offers no real advantage if played correctly (Nestea, FD, July, and Losira win at even rates almost)
though I do hate this bunker rush crap, and hope sincerely that it one day gets eradicated from the game (either by zerg improvement or terran evolution), the "SC2 folks" seem to be arguing almost baselessly against it...

Good job. so people get banned for being unimpressed with SC now...? no people get banned for being whiners, many have perished before him, many are perishing now, and many more whiner will perish after him, it's a never ending battle. But as long as they keep on coming the mods will keep on banning
PS-I always wanted to say that

Kinda surprised to see those graphs tbh. Only 22 zergs in the top 100 on Korean ladder, not so surprising I guess

Frankly with how poor his engagements were in that game he shouldn't have won, but Losira didn't play very well either. How about outplaying Losira so badly in the early game that he could afford to lose that much stuff, and macro so well that even after the 3rd time it happened, he was still way ahead in supply? Oh please. Any bronze can use fake 2 rax pressure into FE build. It wasnt sc outplaying, it was Losira overreacting. But after seeing how 2 rax pressure went really well in game 2 I cant really blame him. Whenever I see someone start an analysis with how a GSL game went with the words "Any bronze...", I know to not take it seriously. Some people have some seriously skewed perceptions of how good these players are. Players are good, but some of the things they do are as easy as they can possibly be, they are merely humans.
Except you forget that sC did that knowing LosirA would be afraid of it, given how the first two games went. You completely ignore the element of strategy in how you can play mindgames on your opponent based off of previous matches, obviously something that doesn't occur in the bronze league, or any other league for that matter. You don't just take what a player did and look at it in the context of the game alone; you look at it in the context of the entire match.
