This is also relying on JYP winning a group that has Nestea and Supernova in it. I don't know, the odds are looking good right now for a Terran heavy RO16. Not that I think that's a bad thing. It's good to see Terran finally bouncing back from a miniature dark age. And even then Terran heavy or not. Someone still needs to figure out how to get past Seed, otherwise I see no reason why IM won't take another trophy for their trophy case. | ||

Seed is one of the favorites but so are players like Taeja, Squirtle, and others. I don't really see anyone as an overwhelming favorites since there are still so many great players left. | ||

Or this. http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/2012_DreamHack_Open/Summer 3 Terrans in the Round of 16 Sure Terran has always done well in GSL, (disproportionately so actually) but in the last few months outside of the GSL, Terran has been having a really hard time especially in regards to the WCS. With MVP winning IEM, and with such a good display of Terran firepower already in GSL Season 4, it's much easier to accept the other results that have been put up lately. Like I said though, it was just a miniature dark age. | ||

Sure Terran has always done well in GSL, (disproportionately so actually) but in the last few months outside of the GSL, Terran has been having a really hard time especially in regards to the WCS. Well, when people talked about terran dominance, it was always about the korean terrans. And due to missing qualifiers, getting knocked out early, not playing well in the actually tournament, terrans just didn't perform well in Korea WCS. As for foreign terrans, the top terrans have always been overshadowed by foreign protosses and zergs. For each top foreign terrans, you can probably name 2-3 protosses and zergs. | ||

Nobody ever takes into account how many Terrans are in the RO32 ;-; | ||

I don't really see anyone as an overwhelming favorites since there are still so many great players left. From what I've seen so far in the RO32 and the GSTL. Seed is looking dominant, while Taeja and Squirtle are just looking strong. However: Seed managed to avoid playing Leenock (who looks like he's spending time in the hyperbolic time chamber) and Taeja didn't really demonstrate much outside of very strong TvT and the ability to stomp all over poor Mana, so maybe I'm underestimating him. But from what I've seen so far, Seed looks like more of a favorite than Squirtle or Taeja do currently. | ||

So if half the players in GSL are Terran, you already have a problem regardless of the Ro16/32. | ||

Well the KR pro scene is packed with strong Terrrans, it's hard to keep them from getting into all the cracks. There are like maybe 10 good KR Zerg, maybe 10 Protoss, and an endless line of strong Terrans. EDIT: Yeah I started counting on my hands and got to 6 zerg I can think of who are consistently Code S level before I started pulling names out like NSH_Seal and ST_Line. Not bad players, but not Code S yet. | ||

Especially if the Zerg decides to mix it up with ultras and/or mutas I mean the midgame is cool but it always turns into ring around the vortex sooner or later. Meanwhile, in the TvP lategame, storm dodging and EMPs. | ||
