Hahahah this is epic, Reality got smashed as MarineKing predicted :D.
Even though it was not in TvZ, the kid was annoying bragging for nothing...

MKP Taeja Monster is my bet. Though PartinG might make it since only 2 Zerg.

Look before the Queen patch. For the two months where they have to change there meta game. If you do you probably see more Terran Favored stats. Queen patch did a huge toll to changing the TvZ stats. Which does effect the stats more then anything. Now that Terran are used to playing the new meta. The stats go back to what they used to. Honestly just want to see some great matches. What makes me sad though about this tournament now only 2 Zerg made it through.

Terran for sure in this one come on... seriously (T)Mvp, (T)Polt, , (T)TaeJa, (T)MarineKing, Cant wait this is going to be epicxx
|
Is there any interviews for this? Anyone on it? O.o

I guess WCG Korea is going to be GOMTvT all over again, epic.
Only two zergs = lol.
|
This isn't for balance stats that I am trying to provide. Just trying to make a point about the maps they picked. DRG has explained that the maps picked weren't very good map selection.
WCG Stats:
Non-KeSPA Qualifiers
ZvT
30-42
Semifinal Stage
2-10
By the way in the Semifinal stage if they played against a Terran they lost. The two zerg that made it out of Semifinal Stage were both playing against protoss.
In total ZvT = 32-52.

War. War never changes. And Terrans mean war.
TvT is my favorite matchup. Gonna be fun watching WCG and taking notes ^_^

Really, I'm hurting vs Z on ladder as much as anyone, but let's not turn every thread into balance please...

And once Zergs adept to this new meta and create a new new meta, they will be as dominate as right after patch...

With this map pool you can't say that Terran isn't dominating with a commanding 9 out of 16 players. I am not saying it is balance issue at all, just the maps they picked. There is a reason why there is only 2 out of 16 players being Zerg. I just wished they picked better maps.

lol, that is the definition of statistics? Of course, there are many variables to a SC2. But say Nestea had a 80% ZvZ winrate over 30 matches. You would say he was dominate in this matchup. You could technically argue he only played bad zergs or for some reason, the zergs just derp when facing Nestea.
I know the statistics are not the 'optimal' factor when looking at balance. Only problem is, all the other methods are WORSE. I don't know how other determine map balance, but many sight specific games to make their arguement which is even WORSE then sighting stats. Some posters will claim that Atlantis Spaceship is not bad for terran since Gumiho showed that you can triple expand off 1 rax to counter zerg. I know a sample size of 100 is not optimal but it is better than a sample size of ONE.

So you feel that using player advancement in Bo3 single elim format is valid while overall win rate is not?
And 'better' maps would be Atlantis Spaceship. Metropolis, Emtombed?
So,
IM protoss advances but is not Seed
ST terran advances but is not Bomber
TSL zerg advances but is not Symbol
MVP zerg advances but is not DRG
This just to show how huge the depth of talent in Korea right now. And this is before all the Kespa players have caught up.

It's funny that MKP is referred to as MKP in the leveltory bracket.. Can't think of anyone else's team being part of a nickname.

I would say that ZvT balance issues only exist on sub pro levels. Terran units are fairly versatile and with godly micro they can really start to shine which is why at the GSL code S levels these terrans adjusted fairly quickly and are startign to make zerg (and protoss) look silly, once more, with their unit control while macroing never ending streams of terran units. But once you come down (even lower code A) you start to see zerg really tear through terran.

DRG is zerg, of course he will prefer maps like metropolis and atlantis spaceship over antiga, lol.

also if you look at OSL qualifiers, 2 terrans advanced out of 12, and only because they avoided zergs. so this can be seen as statistical variance, mmm. these things happen every now and then.
