Also: I fear the day zergs realize that they can use the corrupter to defend drops in the time before the greater spire is done.
They die before they even get rooted. Also no units nearby.

Zerg losing left and right maybe people will stop with all this balance crap

History repeats itself. Of course the terrans are just playing well and the zergs are all playing really bad.

the magic of statistics does account for all those cases

IIRC he has some german roots but he doesn't speak any german apart from some snippets he might have heard somewhere...

SOOO true!

Crossing the fingers for Freaky to win, hopefully get to see lots of infestors at least.

Some of the Terran plays have played very very poor AND got caught in a change in balance which changes the metagame.

My advice would be study Jakjji's game 1 and see his timings. He basically nullified any chance at droning or harass with constant pressure while taking 3 bases quickly. I'm not saying it's easy but he won because he is good rather than because Monster is bad.
Disagree. The standard (and effective) metagame is 6queen 3hatch, early upgrades, ling heavy, into infestors and/or banes, into ultras. We saw none of that and Monster got crushed as a result. Monster has been playing well but he played like a complete moron in that series.

GSL best tournament out there. Even code A gives me nerd chills each time I look at the bracket

Considering Monster playing better than this got stomped by Thorzain, I wasn't expecting him to even give a game against a former champion. The fact he even gave a game at all is quite ridiculous.
TvZ is still in a state. A few spectacularly good terrans taking games off zergs five leagues below them does not make a difference.

They haven't. The reason I'm asking is that the Terran wins are either coming from a legit source like ESV Weeklies, KSL, Playhems, KR Qualifiers for foreign tournaments, and so forth; or from PL, which at this point means less than ladder stats. So the dude from sc2stats should actively exclude the PL games for the time being.

Does that mean it only counts when Zerg is ahead ? O_O
