I don't. Far from a guarantee though. MC Has failed miserably at his last two EU tourneys. I would love to see Mvp do well, I just fail to see how it is a forgone conclusion. It will be very competitive.

I wonder if not having as many ladder maps in the WCS NA map pool will help some of these players with forcing them to play more custom games.
It would be awesome if the next season was full WCS maps tho.

Why are we looking at a single tournament for balance? We shouldn't look at a single GSL nor a single Dreamhack. Wait and see for now

Why is one tournament more relevant than the other? That's what I was getting at. Each tournament will have different race ratios depending on how players play on the day. It doesn't really mean anything. Unless this is about the lack of good Terrans outside of Korea.

I just hope Mvp is going to play his games from EU, he can stay with MC and has the $$ but I haven't heard if he is so probably isn't

Those EU players sure showed them at WCS last year! Oh wait... No no, at last MLG, oh wait.. Ah, Naniwa got to DH finals beating Jaedong who has 25% ZvP in Korea in a bo3! OK, you're right, EU is too strong.

EU as a whole is pretty strong vs like 3 koreans

When the fuck did anyone bring up balance? If the poster was clearly referring to terrans advancing out of a mixed international tournament, last weekends dreamhack results showed a ridiculously stark contrast. Are you denying that? lol. Game balance is fine.

I am really surprised that Blizzard hasn't forced the GSL map pool upon everyone to have a unified map scene. I mean it is just one big tournament and all these regional ones are just qualifiers for the season finals which are qualifiers for the Blizzcon finals.
Then again, I shouldn't be surprised considering how unorganized the start of WCS was....

Can someone let me know if there have been any player interviews at all tonight?

GSL is korean inside and out, Dreamhack was a mixed tournament in which korean/foreign terran players competed against korean/foreign players. It means everything considering how trash foreign terrans have always appeared compared to their korean counterparts throughout the entire history of this game, even back in the bw days.

Oh boy oh boy, these games are so good
banelings and zerglings and if that doesn't work make even more of them and then more of them...

Yea, I'd love if they changed the ladder seasons to the same as WCS seasons and had the same map pool + maybe 1-2 from proleague. It would feel much more like you can go from ladder>challenger>premier>season champs>blizzcon and just help the story line for the more casual people.

There were only 3 top Terran players at that event. 1 played awful 1 got coin flipped out 1 made it to the quarters. Terrans really grasping at straws here...
And zergs continue to win everything. And Soulkey just beat the unbeatable Innovation yesterday. Stop being so biased. We're at an incredibly balanced state right now

It's weird watching TvZ nowadays. Because of widow mines, it's common to see Terrans have a higher supply than Zerg, while I'm used to seeing Zerg having higher supplies
