If there's a general consensus among Korean pros as to what maps are good for each race, there's likely some degree of imbalance. Also, what about maps like Crossfire? There have been enough broadcasted games to know it isn't exactly balanced.
But Hassy's right in that it is only favored due to their playstyle. If both races play their 'standard' style, then Terran would be much more favored on a map like Antiga Shipyard, but if the Zerg decides to play aggressive, then the map-style of Antiga Shipyard can be pretty favorable to them.

So was that replay bar fake?

What's the prize pool for KSL? The one for king of kongs is not fantastic, unless liquipedia is lying to me

I was really disappointed to find that these are replays, if a league like KSL can get players to play live, why can't GSL get this played live?

His multitasking has improved quite a bit, yeah, if only his army control would be better, he would be soooo scary.

KSL prize pool is $100 first place and $50 second place on individual days
$200 to the winner on Team days.

And you've nailed my point exactly. The only reason people cry about map balance is because their playstyles don't work on the map. Guess what. You have to change depending on what map you're playing.
Its the same stupid crying that people did when their compositions didn't work vs a race, and they cried balance. You ahve to adapt to the environment, and that is definitely the case for maps.
