Also, how come 15nexus countered his 2rax? t.t
Nexus first is able to hold off current variations of 2rax... assuming they don't manage to get a pylon.

Not surprising.. Zerg is a little underpowered at a GSL level at this point in time. Terran is always strong, Protoss has strong timing attacks and an improved lategame while infestors have become almost useless and everything Tier 3 gets sniped.
I'm hoping that snipe becomes ineffective versus Massive units in an upcoming patch, its just too easy..

This is basically like the first few seasons of GSL.
Most Terrans, less Protoss and a few Zergs....But a zerg will still emerge as champion! :D

Protoss from Startale. This is his first season in code S. He's REALLY good. You can look up some of his games in the ESV weekly or KSL VODs. I think the KSL team league has a bunch of his games.

There were more Terrans than the other races at the start of the format to begin with...you realize that right?

I hope the day never comes where a race will break Toss's record for least players in Ro16, though. Would make for a boring, variety-less Ro16.  But last year we had GSL October I think it was where there were a ton of awesome TvZs due to no Protoss. That was some of the best viewing in all of SC2 so far. I certainly haven't been disappointed by the lack of Protoss in GSL over the last few months because PvX makes for bad StarCraft. This recent turn of events is actually disappointing. I really think Protoss needs totally redesigning. It's not about balance really, it's just that the whole race is a mess in my opinion.
Oh well, still some fun games tonight.

Puzzle... At least I'm happy for the other protosses. Someone call MorroW to defeat Puzzle 10 times in a row like he did once in his stream.

TBH, the majority of the terrans that made it to RO16 got through with TvZ and TvT.
the terran crying in here is mostly about TvP

i would be surprised if less terrans made it to round of 16 guys, I mean there was 15 of them in Code S so if only 5 made it through, i would be very suprised.

(MVP vs MC TA MLG Prov) Wasn't that the game where MVP took the greedy third? i remember mvp had some pretty good bunkers but not enough units. he was double ebaying ups and getting add-ons when mc hit.

Protoss wins in less than 15 minutes, it's cheese. Terran wins in less than 15 minutes, it was an amazing timing attack.
Fact is it's still 50% Terran in the GSL / S - full spec derps in the motherfucking house Terrans, as usual.

Which reinforces the point that Terran are still too strong? I mean if the tournament had nothing but T some of them would still be eliminated, you realize that right?

Hmm, a little OT, but I just noticed in the Code A brackets that if IdrA and HuK both advance in the first round they will have to play each other; may the rage commence!

Base on those two games, he is not better than puzzle at all. He never consider a possibility of toss all in and he lost like he should.

Why no games next week? -.-

Blizzard better fix the protoss race in Heart of the Swarm. They are just sooo boring to watch no matter what race they face, but PvT is the worst. Sucks to watch starcraft when you know beforehand that every match including a protoss will be boring to watch.

Doesn't more Terrans at the start still indicate that they're doing okay in the big picture, though? Terran numbers have indeed gone down since the nightmare that was 20 Terrans in Code S though, so I'm glad for that, at least.
