He is an elite PvP and PvT player with very shaky, perhaps even straight out bad PvZ. However Prime only has an average Zerg player themselves in B4, who happens to have his worst match-up in ZvP. Basically, they have no way to force First to play a "bad" match-up  | ||

His Korean TLPD actually shows that his best matchup is vZ and worse is vT. Of course, the number of games is very low so even 1 or 2 Bo3 will change the results drastically. | ||

I wouldn't say he's terrible at PvZ, but I would say that it's his weakest matchup after watching his games versus a few zergs at MLG. The scary thing is I believe that YongHwa is one of the better PvZ players out there, he's got an arsenal of timings and really good late-game army control. So the two really complement each other. | ||

Players in a house of one race are typically a thing. Some other applications we've probably seen include: - IM Terran: MVP, Happy, Yoda - MVP Zerg: DRG, Sniper, Monster - oGs Terran: Nada, TOP, Supernova - Prime Terran: MKP, Byun, Maru - SlayerS Terran: MMA, Ryung, Taeja, Ganzi - ST Protoss: Squirtle, Parting, Ace - TSL Zerg: Symbol, Hyun, Shine, Revival There have probably been a lot more 'lines' through the couple of years of sc2. Makes a lot of sense, and sometimes we see it in small terms. Currently IM and ST appear to be the only teams with a devastatingly strong Protoss lineup. Maybe SlayerS though I'm worried for Puzzle =( | ||

All of a sudden we've had Seed win Code S and multiple allkills and good performances in other tournaments from the other two. | ||
