Please stop the tournament comparison discussion. Especially regarding players their runs (Stephano seems to be the current topic). Stay on topic and stick to the games. Consequences will be met out to further derailment. In addition leave the usual out of this topic: -Balance complaints -Map complaints -Stream complaints -Caster/player bashing -Off topic discussions Logically continue this list with things that are obviously frowned upon. Enjoy the free and wonderful event with loads of games and coverage! | ||

The top foreign protoss could very well be the best protoss in the world and 1 or 2 of the best foreign zergs could probably lay claim to the top5 zerg in the world statement. However Thorzain, as good as he is, probably is not a top10 terran. | ||

There are a bunch of good Terrans who are close in skill but none of them is dominating to be deemed as the best Terran. Thorzain seems the closest to that title but needs some good tournament finishes to be cement that position. Demuslim has been hyped for a while but he doesn't take part in many tournaments so it is hard to judge him. Select/Sjow/Major/Fenix are all up there but seem to have consistency issues. Kas has yet to show good results in LANs. I think that is pretty much it. | ||

I think you have to remember how many events SelecT came in 2nd to idra though. I think they've had 1-2 finishes or idra knocked select out in the Ro4 4 or 5 times. Obviously stylistically idra lines up well against SelecT in that MU and TvZ is probably selects weakest MU. | ||

But there are still many korean terrans who seem able to compete for now, we will see in the next months. Obviously you don't need to be Korean, but yes it's very, very hard to get the absolute best out of the terran race, that's why you see it struggle in the foreign scene. Of course people here will deny this because the website is anti-terran in general, but it's reality. It's not underpowered, just hard. | ||

Nah, TvT is Select's weakest matchup by far | ||

As for foreign terrans not winning anything, well they aren't as good as their korean peers and their pretty far from that korean skill ceiling than their toss/zerg counterparts. As for ladder, I ain't terran so maybe their too weak there so Idk... Sorry, I don't understand that statement... are you trying to say that all current foreign Terrans are weaker than their foreign Protoss/Zerg counterparts, or are you just saying that foreign Terrans aren't as good as Korean Terrans? /confused. The former statement is pretty ridiculous and lolworthy. The second statement is just silly, because Koreans are better across the board, not just the Terrans. I'm not going to bite and feed the trolls anymore anyway, don't want to derail the thread any further. Seen some good games from DH so far, my money is on DRG to take it. | ||

If you put into perspective the amount of tournaments that happened since TSL3, foreign terran's last big tournament win happened 10 years ago, but by all means keep calling terran imbalanced whenever MVP or MMA win a tournament, they can be considered your average joe and thrown into the equation like np, everyone gets a MSL quarter finals against flash. | ||

At least, it looked to be that way until about a month ago, when Protoss returned and there was a PvP finals in MLG Orlando... that kind of ruined by nice, neat hypothesis. | ||
