rofl... what does that even mean... If one were to analyze all the games in tournaments zerg win, how would one come to the conclusion that zerg is underpowered when they won, isn't that the point of the game, to win? And then stats backing up the small sample of a tournament result mean nothing too? I guess we just analyze the games where idra loses and thats how balance is determined kk idra logic ftw.

Not enough zergs just make mass roaches and actually use burrow micro.
Because protoss has a unit that can move and detect? Seriously, burrow micro generally does nothing under detection because units keep attacking burrowed unit. It's not like blink micro.

Protoss players don't stand out nearly as much as Terran and Zerg players in terms of skill. Requirements for being a decent toss with a decent success is not too much (well, we got Tester and HongUn who are "decent" protosses with decent success, but skillwise, they don't nearly stand out as much as Losira or NesTea; or Terran players Bomber or Byun). That's why we see people like Tester and HongUn in code s q-finals and s-finals and code a finalists like Tassadar. Puzzle is good though, we might see him in ro8 or ro4 in next code s with an outstanding gameplay.

Zergs tend to go out of control as long as they don't receive pressure, and the fact that map is Terminus and opponent is Tester helps too.

Guinea switch from Protoss to Terran primary. He just Randoms in the GSTL cause his coach asked him too.

Yes this is important: when discussing balance with a perpetual balance whiner, facts are irrelevant to the anecdotal evidence. One must analyze only one's own subjective experiences to determine balance and not consider the consistent, objective data. NOPE
Er... No.
He means you can't look at a handful of games as "anecdotal evidence" lol....
Hey, Terran has appeared heavily in a couple GSLs. Does that mean I can use that as anecdotal evidence haha? Your idea makes a little sense on the surface, but I'd you think about it, it's actually too shallow and meaningless to use results of a tournament as an indicator of anything.
NOPE

Ah ok. Thank you. So thats actually a good point, very few people have switched to Protoss if any.
That being said, it is extremely rare to see people switch races. And I am not sure why since I dont think the game is so huge you can't learn more than one.
The again, I have always felt that the race chooses the player, the player actually has no choice in what race they use.

If he hadnt waited for the warp prism and just warped the dts closer he could have just raped since Losira didnt have spores. Im not talking about the end of the game. Not likely. Losira morphed the overseer the moment he saw the DT's coming from the middle of the map. A player of his caliber who's already on lair tech isn't going to lose too much to DT's when he can quickly pop overseers and has a huge roach army hanging around. Even if he had killed 10 more drones than he did, it probably wouldn't have been enough to stop Losira from killing him. I think that was way too early to go for DT play in that matchup -- MC had the right idea when he used them against Sen very late in their metalopolis game in the NASL semis. If Trickster had gone for the robo bay + thermal lance first instead of DT's he'd have been able to hold Losira's roach attack and save his third. No guarantee of a win, but the game would go on.
How good he is doesnt matter much,when 3 dts come into his base and he doesnt have an overseer already hes gonna suffer and need to replenish drones afterward anyway instead of massing roaches. The only reason he could go and kill him like that was that Tricksters attack was completely deflected.
