srsly wtf?
If you people could actually look past your noses and see past even race distribution you'd understand why.
THE POINT OF THIS GAME IS NOT TO HAVE EVEN RACIAL DISTRIBUTION. IT'S TO HAVE THE BETTER PLAYERS WIN.

One of them will probably be Stephano

the other two spots are for seeds i guess? I think so. And that ratio for T/Z/P is pretty nice. Although I'll never stop smiling when if the day comes where Terran is least represented in Code S. I don't want to start an argument and I'm happy there is a good racial distribution, but if it happens (terran least represented race in Code S) it would probably mean a balance problem, as terran is the most used race among korean pros. It's the most used cause it was the stronger, and some players did very well with that race when it was imba, but now that the game is balanced, many terrans who were dominant have disappeared
Uh no. So wrong. Who are you talking about? rainbow? GMAFB.

You cannot reeinforce fast enough as a Terran anymore at that point . You will get overrun if the Toss eco is too big after a fight . No amount of economy is ever going to change that. In fact the only chance Terran has is throw away his workers build as big of an army as possible and hope to win 1 big fight. If you don't succeed you can just leave the game.

It's a genuine possibility that there are more highly skilled Korean Terrans than Protoss or Zerg, meaning a perfectly balanced game could theoretically still have more Terrans at the top level. Is it definitely the case? No. But there is a reasonable argument to be made for it.

Stephano is the first. The second has not been announced.

Mr Chae is in love with Stephano, so the slot is definitely his if he wants it.

With that said, trying to attack into a protoss with 6 colossus without vikings is really dumb He was maxed out, he didnt have any choice but to attack into it. That's a bad excuse, sac SCVs, sac medivacs (he had 123123), sac some army.. no reason to suicide All of those medivacs were the only reason he was holding out against the storms. Im not even sure there was enough time to sac the scvs then build enough vikings before army wouldve gone to him instead. It seemed like, by the way MKP was just constantly attacking, that his goal was to end the game before he was able to have both collosus and storm in his army. MKP was playing really really well right up until that attack. iirc he had a 50 supply advantage until he made that attack. His overeagerness to snipe the colossus with his ground forces cost him his army, and consequently the game. He tried to snipe the one colossus moving out from the main, but Ace's army was just around the corner. MKP should have got out of there ASAP after seeing the rest of the army and pulled his other vikings into position.
I figure he didnt think he would be able to fight collosus and storm and thought he had a shot at catching the collosus out of position and took it cause once collosus are gone its just storm which mass medivac style seemed to be doing well against. There was also small problem that by that point in the game he was also behind on economy so he needed to do damage and pulling back just lets him get more ahead and have Ace fight under his terms.

T is the most used race by korean pro, maybe like an half of the top class players.... so if it's even distribution in code S, that could mean terran underpowered

MarineKing had 3 reactor Starports before Ace had a Robo Bay. Hmm I stand corrected. With that said, trying to attack into a protoss with 6 colossus without vikings is really dumb He did have vikings. Check the VOD. And stop calling players dumb. It might have been a mistake, but that doesn't make a player dumb. Also, wasn't that something that is called player bashing and is a bannable offense? Because 5-6 vikings beats 6 colo that are on high ground with stalker/archon/ht support?? It's smart?? Get off your high horse and use your brain Hey, I wasn't making any claims about whether that was a mistake or not. I thought he didn't have enough vikings as well, but that's because the colossus count wasn't clear. But there were several inaccuracies in Plexa's point that culminated in calling a player dumb. If that's how you want to talk about the game, have fun. Did you read what i said? I didn't say he was dumb, either did PLEXA. We both said that the decision to attack in the position was dumb. It lost him the game, you could see it on his face in the booth when he threw his hands in the air and shook his head while it happened. Also yes he had 3 starports, but barely built any vikings. He kept massing MMM vs colo and storm. Would that be considered a smart decision? Notice i say 'Smart decision' not MKP IS SO DUMB OMG IM BASHING HIM. Now go away
Hey, keep it civil. I read what you wrote, it was about me not using my brain (nice...). And I still contend that calling someone's actions dumb is not different from calling someone dumb because they are both rude and should not enter civilized discussion.
We both agree that he did not make enough vikings, yet, Plexa wrote that he did not have vikings. There's a difference there too. Plexa later said the problem was that he didn't realize the colossus count was high and failed to pull back or to make a concave, and I agree, I think he was drawn between the two decisions, and hence he made the indecisive mistake and sealed his loss.
Now, if you start using the more polite phrases all the time, you'd find that conversations will be much more pleasant for you in the future.

Thorzain doesn't quite belong in code s yet, though he might get there eventually i suppose.

GSL Code S has always been the best place for Terran players, now if even on the highest level Terrans dont win macro games anymore, what about ALL THE OTHER PLAYERS BELOW THAT from bronze to grandmaster, how are they supposed to win a macro game with terran?

Wouldn't it be cool to have the Stephano-Thorzain-Naniwa trio in Code S? They are pretty much the strongest foreigners at the moment.

We have heard this story before.

Stephano is not playing in Code S this season, he's only going for one monthish in August according to a recent interview.

Even though its not been announced, It HAS to be Thorzain no?
