What the hell is your definition of dominant? You have to win every game from the start to the end of time? Count the GSL championships between the players on that team, and check out this dude Mvp, and tell me its impossible to dominate in sc2.
Terran is the most robust race capable of prolonged periods of domination. I think this is because they are the most played race.
I would bet anything we will never see a toss as dominant as MVP.
Flash has got this.. but he really needs to take his medivacs out of his main control group... His units always have hardly any health because they never get to heal.
Quite a few upsets today, but it seems like that's standard lately for the first round of Code A. I'm so glad that Squirtle and Bomber were able to safely advance.

The better player today won.
There does not need to be any stronger filter, if you donate all your Templar to a player when going Templar before Colossus, and get out multitasked, you lose. There's nothing else about it.
The problem is no one is better than everyone else enough to make it so they can dominate.

StarTale raped them 5-1 in the IPTL finals tonight, sorry
Name me the number of GSL championsips won by StarTale players and then the same number won by LG-IM players. As it turns out, LG-IM players have won slightly more.
2 of their champions are currently in Code B, the last one currently in Round 2 of Code A and has a serious wrist injury
sooo yeah their history doesn't really mean anything whatsoever right now
Two of their champions are in Round 2 of Code A, meaning that they'll both get into the ups and downs. Just because the team is having a period where they aren't winning everything, they've still been a dominating factor in the GSL. But I'll give you that they haven't been performing as well in team leagues

Nestea is in code A r2 actually
oh right heart lost lol, well he better improve significantly if he wants to make it past Bbyong/Polt at least
Think he can take Bbyong pretty easy. Polt will be a problem though if he plays like he did against Heart @@;

eh, no we have not had anyone dominate sc2 yet, that's like the definition of a bonjwa, which last time I checked we haven't come very close to getting yet so no (even though Mvp said he might be one had he won his fifth, I definitely would not have seen him as such, maybe if Rain had won GSL/OSL/WCS all during his first season that would have been more promising)
How would you expect any sort of bonjwa to emerge in just 2 years? It's incredible MVP/Nestea even won as much as they did, considering Code S format.
That is one aspect of SC2 I could never appreciate. You misstep your army ones, and the game basically ends within 20 seconds, with no chance to recover whatsoever. Meh.
