If you missed the karaoke yesterday here is the vod: http://de.twitch.tv/taketvpro/b/324032892

I don't recommend watching it if you are not drunk.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Ah that bracket sucks for ret, rooting for him none the less. And what's up with the no terran comments everywhere, one tournament in 2 years where you don't have the majority. And after watching nearly all of this tournament terrans haven't been good enough simply put, and you could say that a side from Mvp who would of had trouble from a top8 diamond this tournament there was no terrans that have ever done really well in tournaments.

ret fighting!

I got to say it's awkward as hell to see the terrans at HSC complain that there are so few terrans left in the tourney. I mean come on.
There were 12 protoss, 13 zerg and only 7 terrans. Now lets look at who could realistically go really far in the tourney from each race:

Protoss: MC Socke Sase ToD MaNa Yonghwa and maybe bling.
Zerg: TLO Dimaga Ret Golden Sleep Nerchio and maybe idra/slivko.
Terran: MVP. Who is currently in a huge slump, and also lost to Naama..... TvT imba too? lol

Tell me ANY of the other terran players are on the same level as the above mentioned zergs and protosses please.


This is not a balance discussion though... In all recent tournaments terrans are less and less represented. There are no new terran players joining the pro scene, and we see terran less and less on a higher level (ro16/ro8). There are also pros switching away from terran. Do you think it is preferable that on a tournament level the game is slowly turning into a 2 race game?

For me, terran is just most fun to watch. They simply have to do more than the other races to be effective, like drops in multiple locations, continuous marine micro, it is just fun to see. What is the most complex thing you see from a ZvP? Durp, ling runby into the protoss natural while sitting back on creep...Or the infamous lets sit behind 10 spines while making infestor/broodlord. It is so static, boring, and passive that it is no fun to watch.

I've started watching a lot less SC2 recently. Love what the tournament organizers are doing, but it's no fun to watch with no-one to learn from.

Realised that there are no terrans in the ro8! Not surprised though, as this mirrors their plight in recent tournaments

To be honest switching a race doesn't just mean to learn new hotkeys and builds.
You have to learn again all your matchups, the timings, your opponent timings, the exceptions and how to answer to particular opponents' style with your new race.

Mvp plays zerg incredibly well, I've seen it on the IM stream channel.
Still, it's not his race, it's not where he puts all of his efforts.
Also you don't want to rust because after a patch it would mean starting everything once again.
Example: most of the zergs complained about balance issues in the past ZvT.
If someone would have switched now they would all suicide since
a. No wins after the switch since they have to re-learn everything
b. the day you finally have done it, patch comes.

Ok point taken, I still feel this tournament I wouldn't have fancied any of terrans to win because they're not good enough. Aside from Mvp but he didn't show.
