Also, even if you want to make the argument that it's very hard to drop out and very hard to get into, then you also have to acknowledge the fact that despite how hard you say it was to get into Code S with the old format, a disproportionate of Terrans managed to do so to make it so that there were roughly 20 Terrans for a couple seasons. | ||

Not to mention they are ugly to look at! This is pretty much it, I just don't think that Blizzard realizes this. | ||

If a protoss does anything besides long 40 minute games it's an "all in" or its "cheese" T-T Yep, the only bad matchup is ZvZ (it's just awful to watch, difficult to differentiate units and just ... ugh) and PvP - I love Protoss but PvP is nearly as bad as ZvZ | ||

I mean there's as many T left in r16 as P and Z combined but that won't stop cries of imbalance apparently. It must be absolute Terran majority for the game to be "balanced". Except the percentage of protoss players going through is bigger whilst their skill definetely isn't ( 7gate 7gate vray allin, macro game = 20 min without starting +1 armor). | ||

Very nicely put!! | ||

MKP is cute, not handsome. Now, if you want to talk handsome, there are players like Puzzle and Polt for that. | ||

I still think this race distribution was due to the fact that for a long time terran players were just better than thier zerg and protoss counterparts, hence the distribution of Races in GSL. Even if the game were perfectly balanced it is probable that we would still see a significant racial disparity in GSL due to player skill. | ||

As for race balance I wouldn't be too worried for the zerg race yet for this GSL. As long as their big guns Leenock, DRG and Nestea are around, its quite possible for them to go a long, long way possibly even win outright. I'm hoping to see a lot more pvz's in the future though as its my favourite matchup by far to watch. | ||

You're both right. Marauder and Colossi are the two worst units in the game in terms of design. Remove them and find suitable balanced replacements and the game instantly becomes vastly better. | ||

The more interesting part is what of those things works most of the times. And I must honestly admit, that Protoss Allins are the ones that work quite a lot more often in the GSL, than Allins from Zerg or Terran. | ||

You speak of him being a cheeser, doing an one-base all-in in the first game but what was Nada doing? There was some luck involved that he happened to 1) force the Banshee to stay in base and defend and 2) scout the Banshee before it killed him but it was just a disappointing and anticlimatic win, doesn't say much about balance or player skill to be honest. Second game he went for a supposed eco-cheese because it's not OK to do any build other than 1 or 3 gate expand, otherwise you are just...... But recall that Nada went for a BO that relied on dealing early damage against early expanding Protosses to be even but failed at 1) scouting and 2) executing the attack, leaving him down a base, down workers, and down/even in army which meant he was far, far behind at such an early stage of the game when Puzzle could chronoboost Probes from 2 Nexuses. Puzzle simply capitalised on the early lead and converted it into an overwhelming attack. Of course it might be different if Nada wasn't attacking the rocks or built bunkers but what's to stop Puzzle from expanding again and getting more ahead? Puzzle is still Code S even if he may not be a Golden Mouse winner or have a worship thread on TL, but he is still Code S and not likely to throw away such a huge lead. (BTW not likely, not impossible, he could still pull some tragic antics.) | ||
