Looking at the brackets, I would say DRG vs. Life finals is the most probable thing. But any of these players could beat each other on a given day with the possible exception of Goswser (no offense)

and oh damn the quaterfinals are tomorrow???!!!

It may be getting old but I'm still really happy the foreign players are still representing against Koreans -- despite what any of the nay sayers might...nay say.

A testament to the state of SC2 when standard games have us all banging our heads against our desks but weird stuff and cheese gets us excited.

i agree with you, i am one of the Iron Squid French Casteur, Anoss, and i dont understand why we dont speak about that, to help Blizzard to open eyes

I really think its not a unit problem, the most part is on the map control, Zerg see all, on Daybreak or Cloud its like you can see so easily what go outside ... Look if a Terran or a Protoss go aggressive, you will see some gateway or barackement hide on the map, Zerg, you do a pool if you dont see UNIT or DRONE you cant know if its aggressive or macro.. he dosnt make any sens... Zerg is the most difficult to read, and its zerg who has the best map control ( i know Zerg is a reactive race so he need them, but may be not so much...)

Nonsense. I bet you're one of those foreign players who plays the race that seems to be loved most by the foreigners.

Not that I have no opinion on balance in general, but today's games were nothing to do with balance.

Nestea v. Parting: Nestea chessed his way against Parting and in the last game Parting kept banging his head against spines instead of taking out undefended expansions. Hardly an indication of balance

Scarlet v. Symbol: Self-explantory

MMA v.Stephano: MMA in current shape simply isn't relevant discussing top-level play. Do you think MMA would have a better chance against T or P? I don't.

DRG v. Creator: Extremely close games that could have gone either way. These two have exchanged quite a few wins and losses in the past. No one would be surprised the result went either way and no one should attempt to deduce balance from these games if one's being honest.

Besides which, there is a designated balance forum. (Which was created when TL declared how protoss was underpowered, coincidently).

To be honest MMA's TvT and TvP have looked better than his TvZ lately. Although it's pretty limited what we see from him it did look at least Code A level. He keeps losing to zergs in everything.

I mean, Nestea is notorious for his shitty late games and horrendous infestor-BL play. (which is why he so often relies on cheeses, all-in's, or base trades) It was the only surprise of the day to me, which in all honesty could have been prevented had parting played a bit more cautiously.

I'm sorry but how you can say that ? it's cause of this kind of reflection that we can't speak about balance on TL...

First, what i play its not important, what you play too, i am a Caster i see a lot of game all day, and i see just Zerg in final, its a fact.. i m sure you are the first to whine against ZvZ.. demi ZvZ final ZvZ... what's the problem? you play zerg and loose against terran or protoss on ladder so you can't accepct we have a problem ? come on open your eyes plz

Secondly i speak about timing and vision, you make a resumed of the 4 game... thx, but i casted all i remenber too you dont see that Parting, at the end thought ok... i can't go Forge expo.. its not safe, cause Nestea played cheesed a lot ? sound legit ? why not .. so explain to me, why MMA can't win with a double 11 non scouted... just with the overlord.. counter just with 15 drone.. and he knows at the second when B2 is on the natural...seriously...

and yes now i know for the " balannce" forum, but its a thread all ready open, with a lot of different discuss inside, its not interessant, i will make a thread but on bnet

Oops, French people on the streets protesting against zerg - gg Blizzard. tt

But really, people should watch the games, they were particularly good. I also like what pairs we get for the next round.

As for Nestea - Nestea loves this tournament. Last time he made Ro4, he went to Paris, people treated him like God, he was enjoying every minute of it. The grin never left his face, even after losses. So he does everything he can to get there again. I bet if someone asks Nestea what tournament in his long career was the most fun for him, he'd say Iron Squid 1.

Spinecrawlers are good. More spinecrawlers are very good. Even more spinecrawlers are even better. If you watch the final game, you'll understand.

sorry, but this is non-sense. seems like you don't know nothing about the game lol
also, there is a thread for balance discussion.

He said something like that (among the foreign tournament though)

MMA 11 rax in game two won him the game.
MMA 11 rax in game three didn't win him the game because Stephano was expecting it (even though he doesn't scout, you see he has his probes ready and start zerglings much faster) and had a great response, but it put MMA ahead. After that MMA was leading until he made bad decisions like not retreating in the fight versus Stepĥano's roach in the middlegame for example. The best player won that game, but if both were even in skill, MMA would have won that game.
In the last game, MMA failed completely.

About Parting vs Nestea, you honestly can't use balance here. The games were surprising, entertaining and Parting should have won.
Maybe you could say that zerg require less practice than terran so foreigners tends to be zerg (or protoss) and korean terrans are more easily burned out or injured so at the end of this season/year zergs won more. But don't worry about protosses, they won more money than zergs in 2012 and as much big tournaments (http://www.teamliquid.net/events/ and sc2earnings if you want to make sure yourself).
