Picks for tomorrow are Taeja and MKP. I initially thought that JYP might make it, but I dunno ...

Incidentally, thought I should mention that viOlet and Nalza have left MVP (according to Milkis).

EDIT: It seems I was mistaken re: sC. He's still listed as being in Code A. (Yay!) I hope his recovery's going well.

Yeah that 1 immortal range will help P innovate so much. I can see the light now...maybe we'll have 6 protoss in code S next season!!! Anyway it's just a matter of time before there will be 2 or 3 protoss in code s. Sad really. You're right MC's strats have stagnated, he should use the switch to terran strategy.

Same here, I can't even bring myself to watch VoDs or stay up for GSL anymore. I wonder what the Koreans think of this Terran dominance.

JYP? But he's Protoss.

Won't buy next season ticket though.

People like you crack me up. You can't see that MC has not been playing well recently. You can't see that MC did not play well today. The worst part of your mentality is, you're so convinced protoss is a shitty race that you can't factor in the skills of other players when they win.

And sorry, MC wouldn't have won a championship as terran. He won his championship off of 4 gate and timing attacks that were very unknown at the time. Once players figured him out, he started losing quite a bit. Sure, he'd be good, but the best? The guy barely cut it as a progamer in BW. Don't get me wrong, he's talented, but obviously way less talented than players like mvp, losira, and puzzle.

Don't be so pessimistic. Perhaps the immortal range won't be as much of a buff as it will be a door to some interesting new strategies. Obviously, this is pure speculation, but I think Blizzard wants to encourage Protoss to incorporate more Immortal and Warp Prism play and hopefully introduce more strategies. (Ex: infestor pre-patch usage, post-patch usage) They probably think they know something that Protoss players don't.

Indeed, I remember when I used to stay up to watch key games or watch VODs ASAP when I woke up. I can't even bring myself to go to GOM.TV anymore except to watch those awesome Yellow shows.

MKP's inability to play BO1s in the GSL might be an unexpected boon to Code S.

Less talented than puzzle and losira who have only won code a? get the hell out. Seriously what has puzzle done? MC is the only person who innovated protoss at all. The only protoss to win GSL. MC IS protoss.

Lol. Obviously way less talented? You also mention MC being unable to break through in Broodwar. You understand that Nestea was a designated 2v2 player in BW? You understand that Puzzle was the #1 pick in the draft and was considered a huge disappointment? Did Losira make waves in BW? Did Bomber?

The vast majority of players in SC2 are players that could not or did not have the opportunity to shine in BW. You are foolish to make such a statement. Absolutely pathetic.

WOAH WOAH, does Nyovne have to slap someone down after that many good games?

ZvT is ~50% win-rate for this GSL season.

inbe4 protoss


Crying aside i think the big loser of all this massive terran domination everywhere is actually GOM. They do such a great job with GSL but they have the toughest luck ever. All their finals is usually one sided and each season they are more likely to be showing TvT matches than any other and i have to think that shake a bit their viewership. =(


Very true. The poor TL-mods who probably secretly wish for an all-out balanced game the most, so they can stop mass-banning people aside....I agree that the officials at GOM will definitely also get annoyed by the overrepresentation of one race, that makes for a worse viewer-experience. I mean, even many terran players around here would agree that watching only TvT can get really exhausting.
I'm P and watching too many PvPs in a row drives me crazy.

This game could be chess but TL LR threads would still winge about imbalance because the white pieces are too shiny

Technically speaking white is OP lol :p

I don't know all the fuss about MC in code A... MVP fell down to code A, MKP is still in code A... both the cream of the top in Korea... and it isn't about balance either, its about slump, thats all.

Yeh, I couldn't really figure that one out. It seemed more like some plat level game I play in terms of game progress. Some poking around with Stargate, one player gets totally outmacroed and later stomped down in the first bigger engagement.

Sad to see the Protoss President going down to Code A, but I'm not so foolish to not see it isn't reflected in his gameplay. Whether it was cheesy play or not MC used to dictate the games, the question was what can the opponent possibly do to beat MC not what builds will each play be doing. I hope this fall/slump can boost his motivation and he can get some of his swagger back and get back up to Code S.
