Yet Protoss players are dominating GSL ;D It was bound to happen sooner or later :p Harder race breeds better players gg!



I don't think the International results has much effect on the Korean scene seeing as almost every foreinger gets smashed ones they get there


Yeah, I pretty much ignore international winrates. My personal belief is that the Korean ones are all that matter since the best players deserve balance the most.

Just some fun facts about the current state of the game:

Protoss' who started in GSL Code S and made Ro8: 4/8 (50%)
Terran who started in GSL Code S and made Ro8: 3/15 (20%)
Zergs who started in GSL Code Sand made Ro8: 1/9 (11%)

Just by playing Protoss you got a 50% chance to make it to Ro8. :-)


I agree, it is mainly because PvT late game is a bit silly at the moment and PvZ has so many different rushes that require exact responses but could be only slightly different builds. Also warp gates are pretty nice.


ROFL - Quoting on yourself.. forgot to logout onto your other account to balance whine eh?


It was deliberate i was wondering if anyone would notice. :-)


Good one, that's believable.

Cant believe that there are no Zergs left in Code S except one..tbfh i hope no Zerg advance to Code S, then Blizz gets forced to buff the race after a couple weeks...or months.. or years. :S Like..give the gueen some greater speed offcreep at least or something.

Good games today tho, I liked it.


To be fair, two out of nine Zergs that started in Code S were foreigners that simply got trounced really early. I think Zerg does need more top talent, though. DRG and Nestea can't carry alone. I expected Curious and Leenock to do better, though.


I kinda agree on the fact that there are not that many "good" zergs in GSL, you often see the zerg making really odd decision making and loosing the game because of that, and sometimes their army control isn't impressive (ex : nestea loosing freely a ton of muta where he could at least tryed to stutter step and kill some phenix), except in their mirror matchup where they micro their heart out.
As the zerg, I really hope to see new impressive zerg comming in the GSL, because there's not many player to root for and to steal build of :/. The only zerg I really like to see play are leenock and DRG (and stephano for the foreigners, because his unit control is sooooo good) .

That would be great ! I like both players and I don't want MMA or another terran in final. Anyway it's great that 4 protoss are gonna make it to RO8 And I hope DRG can make it to the finals as well.


na, no MC finals... Wanna see some great long games, not 6gate, 8gate, 7gate blink and 4gate...

I agree, but it's not really suprising. Terran tier 3 basically ALL have energy which can be manaburnt by feedback for 50 energy - basically one high templar can nullify 4 high tier terran units, many of which individually cost more than the templar itself. Coupled with the rediculous amount of splash damage the protoss units get (which shines in late game engagements where splitting everything is harder), terran is difficult to win with.

Yes, great finals. 2 base timings for an awesome final... DRG has shown to be great in finals though.

I caught the last two games which Genius won and I am impressed. His play is as solid as can be. Often times I see other toss simply bluffing by playing greedy. Sometimes they get away with it, but when they don't massive QQ follows. But as Genius showed today you don't need to play greedy to win. You just have to be smart and patient.

Have you ever seen this ever happen? If you're gonna balance whine (which you shouldn't), at least whine about something that makes sense, like Collosus or Psy Storm. Whining about feedback is pretty lolsy.

^This. I don't think I've seen a TvP late game end well for terran this whole season.. . .

So you're purposely quoting yourself now to make it look like your initial slip-up was intentional? That's cute.

I hope/think DRG/Genius/Puzzle/DRG will make it to the RO4.

Well concerning MC vs genius actually it's very hard to say who's gonna win but this should be the most epic PvP ever (well if u consider PvP can sometimes be epic).

Feedback is why tier 3 terran units are not viable - the race is forced to stay low-tier and fight an uphill battle against stronger units, because their *theoretical* late-game tech trees are so easily countered. I don't think that is too hard to comprehend, is it?
