And my previous reply just explained why Round 2 looks like that; it isn't due to the fact that Zergs are doing bad, it's more of a reason that most of those Zergs are either Kespa Zergs matched against GSL players or Zergs matched against 3 of the current best Protoss, including the current GSL champion (Seed, MC, Squirtle). DRG's game was also close as hell as we just watched, he could of easily won that last game but he threw it away, so it had nothing to do with balance.

Before anyone comments I am a zerg here.

I do not believe this tournament states anything about zerg balance.

Firstly there has only been 6 ZvX matchups where X is not zerg so the data set isn't exactly large.

Look at the relative strengths between the two players in the zerg matchups.
curious won his match against a kespa player.
soulkey and jaedong whilst obviously great at BW are still new to SC2 and played gumiho and alive, 2 top quality terrans.
coca played seed, the GSL champion
effort will likely lose but again he is a kespa player and hero is phenomenal.

and DRG - creator. you would expect DRG to win but if you watched the games he did not play like a GSL champion and was quite sloppy in lots of areas, this is not due to 'balance'.

None of these games have any reflection on balance.

TLDR - 6 games with Large skill differentials between players and a sloppy DRG are not indicators of balance

Exactly. Remove the luck factor, and balance around them being consistent.
