I hope zerg players keep winning so Blizzard can finally revert the changes from the last patch I think they'll keep the change but change something different. Safety for the Zerg isn't the problem. The capeability of Droning up so fast behind it is. Genius said something i've been suggesting for ages nerf larva inject since it would also basically kill some of the stupid cheeses that outright kill the only openings that can compete with Zergs as well as making saturation for Zerg slower.
Zerg's so dependant on larva injects that any nerf to it would require significant buffs to Z's tier 1-2 units. Just thinking of game design, that made be all to the good, but it would mean bigger changes to how Zerg works than Blizzard is comfortable making I think.

I'd say going 4-2 in a group consisting of Ryung, Polt, Vines, and Jjakji (winning both tie breakers against Ryung and Polt) showed that Line deserved to be in code S personally. Did he play like it this morning? No way. That was horrible. But he definitely earned his spot.
EDIT: Also, are you expecting all 6 of the second half to make it through then? Do you expect a zerg majority in the Ro16? Cause I can't see any more than 4 making it through to be honest.

This is gonna be such a chipper-shredder final bracket. So many potential ZvZs, so much potential for chaos!

well thats how the brackets look like in korea after the range buff TT
Again I ask, how many zergs do you think will advance to code S Ro16? Only one so far. With 4 toss and 3 terran players already advancing in the first half of the Ro32.
There were 3 zergs out of 16 players who have played their matches so far. It's not exactly surprising that only 1 zerg has advanced, especially considering one of them could make a compelling argument for being the worst Code S player in the recent several months.

Did you watches those games ? It was basically by all-inning everytime . Once opponents had enough time to figure him out it was glass clear he was going to be last in his group.

If it was all-inning every single game then why is it that two outstanding players could not hold an all-in that they knew was coming? I'd say that shows much more weakness in Polt and Vines' play personally.
EDIT: I derped, Second tie-breaker was with Vines, not Ryung. Ryung finished the group on top.

Cool, I'm glad TL is giving Zanderfever some love and letting him cast this, he did an outstanding job with the NA qualifiers yesterday with overwhelmingly positive response in the thread. I hope to see more from him in the future.

Polt was done after that 1:30 hour loss against Ryung after he just arrived from the airport. Vines much like Line is far from Code S caliber.

Not sure how much you know about KeSPA players, but they will only play in tournaments that KeSPA aproves. They are not able to participate in whatever tournament they want, even if it's online, as far as I know.

top 8 of any korena online tournament have usually been between 5 to 7 terrans for almost 2 years, its about time things change
lets see how this season of code s plays out for example and give terrans time to adjust their builds from 1 rax cc hellions into something else

Wow, only one protoss and one terran remaining :O

If a player is in Code S then they are Code S caliber. End of story. Code S calibur by definition means someone who has gotten into Code S.
If you want to further categorise players within Code S then go ahead, however you cannot call a Code S player not Code S quality (or caliber) because that is contradictory.

There's not much to adjust to though. If you allow the Zerg to freely expand and Drone up it doesn't matter what you do later you will lose. With enough resources and larva Zerg will adjust to anything you do in one production circle.
