there always have been very few good EU terrans. only kas, thorzain and lucifron (who doesn't play a lot of tournaments) are top level really. that plus current metagame i guess.

Well there aren't many good terrans in Europe and some barely (dont) show up at DH's like Kas, Lucifron etc

Anyway, I hope Rain wins. I don't know why I want him to win, maybe just so he can savor that one championship.
Just look at the participant list. Since Cloud and Beasty didn't make it out of groups, which other European Terrans did you expect to "represent" the race here? If not many good Terrans sign up, there won't be many in the tournament, what a surprise.

I know it sounds odd but the thing I'm most interested in will be the crowd's reaction to deathangel, yes he's a Romanian in the playoff but with the recent... unpleasantness between him and the community I wonder what they will think of him.
Also let's go rain choo choo all aboard the SCV rain. I honestly doubt they'll care all too much. Also, only top 8 will be on stage, right? So he most likely won't even get to the stage show part, monchi should be favoured a bit looking at most of DeathAngel's ZvP games today. Deathangel has the ability to win ZvP when he really shouldn't be you don't know it's been a trait of him throughout his career in ZvP, play badly, use weird or outdated compositions, win anyway so he could take out monchi.
Sure, he could win, but if he couldn't beat MaNa, he shouldn't really expect to go far against any Protoss.
And he couldn't even beat fraer after he invested fucktons of minerals in useless cannon shenanigans and had his warpgate tech delayed for like two minutes after all the money waste.

That's the whole problem. There were never that many to begin with.

I think it's because Terran's a little weaker than Protoss and Zerg right now. Perhaps Medivacs should get a speed or acceleration boost, or perhaps Snipe or EMP needs either a range buff or have their recent nerfs removed.

If this was happening to any other race than terran people would cry imbalance but its terran they have always been op so who cares.

Well yeah. There aren't many in NA either, it's just the way it is in foreigner-land.
If Kas/Thorzain/Happy/Lucifron/BratOK/(KrasS maybe) don't attend tournaments, there won't be foreign Terrans in the playoffs, it's a general rule.
That's why we have Koreans attending.
Edit: Added Krass, he's getting decent.

Really happy for TLO finally showing some result in a long long time. Keep it up =D

Kas, thorzain, lucifron, demuslim, dayshi, tarson, happy, strelok, brat_ok, sjow and krass are mia. Beasty, stareagle and cloud were unfortunately unable to make it there are some pretty good EU terrans and krass is a nice up and comber but yeah in general white man can't terran.

2 terran in ro16 has there ever been a worst race distribution in any tournament ever?
|
As already mentioned there are 3 very good Terrans with Thorzain, Lucifron and Kas. The first two are usually very stable in offline events, whereas Kas is often showing nerves.
Behind that, there are the remainig 3 Empire Terrans (Beastyqt, Happy, Bratok), who can beat top foreign Zergs/Toss
but are pretty inconsistent and do not play on many events.
The rest are players like Goody, Cloud, Sjow etc. that just seem a level weaker compared to the representants of the other races.

I want to believe!!

+ MorroW and TLO switched to zerg and Happy is also thinking about it. Goody will probably quit from what I've red.
It's all so dark.

Just wait for Blizzard's very own tournament, the WCS Finals.
