EPTI'm sure no Protoss wants to advance only because "he didn't 1/1/1 when he could have".

It can be quite hard to fall out of code S as some players are showing, by always staying in there, and its not only in the latest seasons, that there have been so many terrans, they are just performing even better now. But balancing it will not make the races equal after GSL October, it will take a long time until we see race equality in GSL for now. Not really. You'll just need two seasons of having 2 Terrans demoting out of each group + MC/JYP/Alicia clawing their way back up. This is all, of course, assuming that future patch changes do change anything. I've been dying to see certain Code S terrans drop out since March. | ||

Right on. "This race is dominating therefor all the good players are choosing it and those other players are bad" What terrible terrible logic. | ||

He even gets smacked around in GSTL and has Hongun carry the team with his all-ins. Wow.....unbelievable. Yes, his play today was terrible, he took risk he shouldnt have and paid the price, and decided to play stupidly against Taeja. But guess who played slightly worse? You don't get to code S by losing 13 probes, failing a blink stalker all in etc. Pro-gamers play to win. MKP was behind 0-2, he had to win. Go hate him all you want, but at the end of it all, he's not playing to please YOU. Can you imagine the consequences should be remain in code A? Maybe you should be in his place and not 1-1-1 when money and your livelihood is all on the line. | ||

Removing Kulas, Steppes, Delta etc. If they are really desperate they can do something as drastic as 3 gas geysers in the main or rich vespene geysers. That will help protoss a lot. But that also will be extremely dumb and short sighted. We just saw MKP 1-1-1 on Terminus though which is one of the biggest maps around. There aren't really bad maps for Terran or good maps for Protoss. | ||

If you have an advantage, it's doing a disservice to the game not to use it. I'm sure no Protoss wants to advance only because "he didn't 1/1/1 when he could have". Huh? Basketball is a perfectly balanced game because every plays the same race, human. | ||

And by your logic, Inca has more fans than TOP, right? | ||

Alot of the prime players know mech is better, but they hate that sytle and love to go bio ( bomber also has announced he hates mech and only going bio regardless if its an inferior strat) Polt actually played really well with bio against Top. I thought his reasons for losing were just bad tactical mistakes and not moving his scvs to mine properly, bad economy management. He was engaging right and all that. Sad that bomber decides to dick around. He will be the best T v Ter (if he is not already) if he always goes mech. | ||

If anything is wrong with the balance of T, it is not the fault of the players. It rather is the faulty game design. Just be positive guys, cheer for the guy you want to win and if you just want someone to loose, than cheer for his opponent and don't call people cheesy noobs. PLEASE TL LR people, PLEASE be positive. Thank you  | ||

Not hating on him but i wish he wouldn't get into code S because his play is relatively bad. There is nothing wrong with hoping he drops so we can get higher quality of games. | ||

Even then, his play recently has been really off code S level play and that is why i don't think he deserves to be in code S. God did you watch his code A games this season? Playing T v Z without walling off, struggling with every match but somehow he manages to win. Only thing is that i suppose he will be found out soon and drop if he stays at this level of play. I agree completely. I'm a fanboy, but there is no doubt that he is one of the weaker Terrans in code S this season. Glancing at the list only Virus and Ensnare jump out at me as definitely weaker than him and Byun, Yoda and sC who are all in code A this season are all probably playing better than him. I just hope that getting back into code S is the hurdle he needed to get over and we can see a return to form, especially now mech TvT seems slightly less common and that was 1 problem he had. | ||

I think the situation can still be decent by ro16 if like 10 to 12 of them fail to advance kinda like in august where a terran droped out for every protoss/zerg. | ||

Terran 28 Zerg 19 Protoss 17 Still Terran favoured but things aren't as bad as they seem. Is it wrong that I sort of want a team kill scenario between MKP and Polt just because I like watching bio play in TvT? | ||
