Exactly. I just don't see a Terran beating Life, DRG or the other top Zergs in GSL in a Bo3 right now. Lets wait for Hots


I feel like a lot of it is because a player like DRG was competitive ZvT when Zerg was heavily undermatched. So with slight buffs to zerg, he was just exponentially better. DRG and Life are in a group of their own. No Terran can beat THEM, but plenty of Terrans have and will beat other top GSL Zergs. (Bomber 2-0'd Sniper to get here, for instance).

This is just player imbalance. DRG's ZvT just can't be matched.


But that was the same thing for ZvT in early 2012(MMA, Mvp, MKP were doing well but DRG, Leenock, Symbol were beating all the other terrans). Yet, Blizzard buffed queens and OL speed.

Because pre queen buff it was like 45% ZvT, and a small buff to early game defense was needed lol. They completely missed the mark though :\

Except that's wrong, in both March and April 2012 Zerg was getting the better of Terran in the matchup.


It was like 50/50 or 49/51 for one of them, ethier way it was very close and very entertaining. Took alot of skill from both sides to be able to win and thus very entertaining.

Yeah, it's shocking and a testament to imbalance, that DRG is favored in this group.



Especially considering that DRG won most of his shit when Zerg was favored against, and Terrans had the upper hand in the match-up. You can talk about imbalance and such, but DRG is just just better than these players. That's what it comes down to.

Worth noting is that DRG has been looking really solid lately and ZvT is a good matchup for him. Otherwise one might argue that Nestea and MVP are the favourites in every group...

But yeah DRG should get out of this group easily, anything else would be truly chocking.

Did Blizzard ever explain the rationale for the buffs? I've gone back and checked Korean and international stats for 2012 leading up to may and the numbers showed really good balance in TvZ.


Yes, because terrans were doing a lot of damage in the mid and early game via hellions, marine/marine tank pushes. Hellions were also too good at denying creep. So they decided to take away ALL these options at once. This allowed zergs to be as greedy as possible without real ways to punish.

So terrans had to play greedy, but would still be slightly behind in macro v macro game. Or zergs just went aggressive and kill them. Or terrans had to all-in (2 rax, 6 rax, BF) and hope they aren't scouted.

There are loads of good terrans. It's just we haven't figured out how to play vs Z nowadays. Passive doesnt work, agressive can work but hard to pull off and Z must make a mistake, mech doesnt work anymore, bio mech is trashed by any combination, bio works before infestors are out...

Give me a break, Ryung? Bogus? Byun? even bomber? They are monsters.... But Z is SO FUCKIN powerful!

I consider a good terran as someone who wins the major tournaments. None of those guys have


Who is a good Terran, then? Because Terran tournament wins have been scarce lately, and tournaments from mid-2012 don't really mean (Hi MKP

"He's one of the new best terrans", this sentence perfectly sums up how stupid they both sound when hyping a player, even when they are right.
