EPTat the highest level terrans do ok (see gsl). but even a player like MVP looks like mid grandmaster when his control sucks.
a zerg/toss can be a bit out of shape and still do good if the terran does not look for a sec and he gets a storm/fungal in.

MC > Ret MC will take it no doubt. I feel like this matchup will be far more exciting than people expect, Ret can play very well against korean protosses and should take at least one map. Sleep > Golden No idea why but just feels like it xd MC > Nerchio While Nerchio showed in the past that he is "one of those" foreigners that can beat koreans (Hero and viOLet in HSCIV and YongHwa in this one) I dont think he stands a chance against MC. Nerchio often comments on his ZvP how he doesnt like it and dont really understands the MU, while MCs PvZ is his best. If Nerchio doesnt looked up some of MCs recent replays I predict 3-0 however lest hope he can make exciting series for us  Sleep < MC MC wins 4-2, Sleep may be underrated but doesnt feel like he is on MCs level yet. And nobody cares about 3rd place matches anyway... Exactly my predictions. | ||

Honestly, Terrans have never been strong in the NA/EU scene. You have ThorZain, Kas, Happy, Lucifron as the top tier and there are at least 10 zerg and 10 protoss on their level in NA/EU. The terran 'imbalance' has always been the Korean terrans like MVP, MMA, MKP, Jjajki, etc. The reason for this is the Koreans are able to play aggressively while maintaining their macro. The best TvZ terrans have always played aggressively in TvZ which forces the zerg to build army (instead of drones) and also to deny creep/expansions. But now, the mass Queen openings take so much of that ability away and we see even the best TvZers struggling. | ||

Lmao, I know I'm getting trolled, but I'll bite. So, you think that someone who achieved -NOTHING- (aside from high ladder rankings) is on a higher level than a multi code S champion, people who consistently place top 8 or WIN the most prestigious offline tourneys like MLG's or dreamhacks etc Find me a single person i mentioned who is less accomplished than Happy. Please. | ||

Please. you are not getting trolled. most players dont play T since its too hard to control lategame so they play P or Z. since the last patch T cant apply early pressure as affective as before (queen destroy reaper openings, make 2 rax very hard to execute for terran, help vs hellions, overlords can now get to the opponents base 25% earlier to scout, etc..). so the best MU before is now the hardest for terran. vs P its still ok for terran, nothing has changed and you can apply pressure and get ahead early/mid. and i name happy cause he was the best terran at HSC5 with MVP playing poorly, and his control was better than the control of most the P/Z. and he still lost 2-0 to a very good, but not worldclass P like Hasu cause he did 2 mistakes in 2 games. Terran is just unforgiving. why should i name koreans/thorzain/Kas? i know that there are better players than Happy, but they have not been there. | ||

Please. lol only players that stand out on that list are MC, Golden and maybe SaSe/MaNa? the rest, including most terrans (at least naama, cloud, happy) are at about the same level and any one could win over the other (normally) on any given day also, quite curious to see viewer numbers for this final day | ||
