But you could use different methodologies rather than just "GSL Champ" to figure out if one race is better than the others. There are games that matter other than the championship match - in fact the championship match is statistically a TERRIBLE way to determine the best race, even if you had a large enough population. Why? Let's say there's one player who would, hypothetically, beat everyone else, regardless of his skill level. If you use Champions as a way to determine, you would say his race is imbalanced. You really should be using top 16 or top 8 or something, in which case, as each race should theoretically get 1/3 of the representation, you could probably make a sample after 5 or 6 GSLs. That being said, 5 to 6 GSLs is a long time so it wouldn't be very relevant, but it would be better than using only champions/ You are actually NOT RIGHT. If you had a large enough population (e.g. 5-10 years of GSL finals) you SHOULD have the same ammount of races taking the title. PLEASE EDUCATE YOURSELF WITH SC1 HISTORY. | ||

Protoss has two GSL gold medals and two silvers. Protoss has to beat MVP in this finals, just to tie a single Terran player for medals... | ||

I'm a pretty empathetic person - I can understand that people really get into the game and root massively for a certain player or race.

If the situations were magically reversed and Protoss switched places with Terran in terms of big-picture GSL success, I'd be extremely okay with a Terran champion or two, because it's about time - I'd say it's only fair to the Terran fans to see more Terran winners. But, that's not reality. The reality is that Terran has had the most champions and Protoss has had by far the least, and it just annoys me that despite all this, some people really want to see yet another Terran Code S win. Don't get me wrong - I clearly have no greater moral basis for my stance on this, and people who really want to see another Terran win aren't objectively wrong in any way. It's just my personal philosophy that all fans should see ideally their race win a roughly proportionate amount of times, because everyone deserves to be satisfied as viewers. Damn, that's a high quality post right there - well said. | ||

PLEASE EDUCATE YOURSELF WITH SC1 HISTORY. No you shouldn't. What a bizzare opinion. Why would you assume that all three races are played by absolutely equally skilled players and the same number of players? | ||

I do know that Kespa and Blizzard reconciled and SC2 will be run by them, but have players like Fantasy/Jangbi been confirmed to play SC2 or is that just an assumption? | ||

It's just my personal philosophy that all fans should see ideally their race win a roughly proportionate amount of times, because everyone deserves to be satisfied as viewers. People don't want a Protoss to win because most people (including Blizzard) know that right now Protoss is too good and while Squirtle/Parting/Hero/Oz are good players it's no coincidence they just all became instantly top of the world players the second Blizzard nerfed ghosts, buffed Immortals and buffed Protoss upgrades. I don't really have any racial preference but I want Mvp to crush this kid into the floor to show that overall skill and greatness like Mvp has transcends Blizzard flavour of the month balance patches. When another Protoss wins a Star League I want it to be a real legit win, not a 70% legit win with Blizzard giving them a nice helping hand. | ||

When Browder said terrible terrible damage he was absolutely right for TvP and ZvP. I think that this is the REAL problem of SC2. But I think it's not only about TvP and ZvP. Also it's about TvZ. And I think there are two main causes of it: 1. Medivacs, which make bio balls extremelly resilient. 2. Collosus, which are meant to kill the bio ball, but themselves they are the backbone of toss death-ball. I think medivacs heal too fast, and collosus are basicaly the worst unit in the game, even though I'm a toss user. | ||

That doesn't mean he has a 100% chance to beat a great player like Mvp. DRG doesn't stop being the best ZvP in the world when he loses to MC. When great player play, someone has to lose. | ||
