ZvT is broken, 75-80 % winrate for Zerg at the moment, 60 % against Protoss - no wonder that Sniper had a 3-0 strike and DRG finished puzzle easy | ||

And well Slayers not using terrans after a zerg buff, can have several reasons. But unimportant what the reason is they want to avoid TvZ. So i can't wait for Ryung facing a Zerg x3. | ||

They don't have any Zergs except for Coca, so it's not like they have much of a choice. Whether it's due to metagame or balance reasons, it's pretty stupid trying to deny that Zerg is by far the most powerful race right now, and it's pretty damn stupid to call people 'balance whiners' over this. | ||

In GSTL, Terran present is only ~30% of the game, while Protoss is ~50,60% and Zerg is ~80% of the game. | ||

You can always affect stats in any way you choose. If we look at GSL stats you could say that Zerg doesn't look imbalanced at all. The counterargument is "BUT LOOK HOW LEENOCK/OTHER ELIMINATED ZERGS PLAYED, IT WAS SHIT", but if you're using stats, you can't use qualitative measures to affect changes in those statistics. | ||

Except statistically then it doesn't mean anything. Slayers didn't play Terrans, therefore Zerg is imba... okay? Sure, Slayers played their top Zerg player, I don't see how that makes Zerg imba. Pre-patch they would've probably played CoCa too. I'm not saying whether or not Zerg is stronger than Terran (right now, the metagame definitely seems to favour Zerg), but that doesn't automatically suggest imbalance, just like the use of 1-1-1 didn't suggest imbalance previously. I do think Zerg is a bit stronger right now, but not nearly as much as most, and also think that the "statistics" people use are extremely misleading and misinformed. | ||

At the end they picked Puzzle to play PvP. To make the come back with which seemed like a great choice. He even got to DRG. I don't think it wasn't them not picking there terran they just have Ryung and MMA training really hard for there games that are upcoming. MMA has been doing terrible so he probably wasn't really confidient with going with him. Also Alicia didn't play either which I found weird. | ||

How exactly is the statistics misleading or misinformed if it simply is statsistics? Also, when 1-1-1 was at it best it definitely suggested imbalance. Seemingly with your definitions imbalance cannot even exist. Anyway, more on topic, sad to see slayers lose. I hope they'll get far because I want to see ThorZaIN in the GSTL ^.^. | ||

I do not think 1-1-1 was imbalanced, it may have been strong in the metagame at the time. While there were some minor protoss buffs to deal with 1-1-1, protoss typically adjusted through learning how to play a style that could more often than not stop 1-1-1 if scouted. The statistics are misleading because you are making huge assumptions. The fact that Slayers played 0 terrans does not automatically suggest that zerg is imbalanced. And yes, statistics are being abused. Because you chose one specific tournament that isn't necessarily indicative of race inequality as a whole. You didn't use Code S as a balance measurement, which I believe is more reliable. Imbalance can exist. It exists within data showing that with an exceptionally large sample size of games at the top level (> 300 - 400 GSL Code S games, maybe include GSTL), one race has a consistently higher win % than the other two. It cannot statistically be reflected by one tournament consisting solely of BO1s (which is what these are). Qualitatively I think Zerg has an advantage in the current metagame, but statistics do not show this. | ||

The fights werent even close. Even when a toss cleared the tanks, for example, banshees or marines killed everything. It had like 90% win ratio. | ||
