First I was like, yummy poetic justice - then I looked at the earlier protoss/zerg stats compared to terran. Now I don't get the funny part in it. The fun part is that we had those "hellbat OP! widow mine OP! T unbeatable!" cries since the launch of HotS. Reality check: T takes it's biggest dive in the history of SC2 and Korean premier tournaments. HotS balance aside. I think the main reason there are less terrans are because of the last WoL season being only 1 season apart from this one. Give it 1-2 more seasons and the lesser zergs will drop out and the better terrans will get back in.

"Voidray too stronk, oracles are a joke..." People moaning and bitching about balance? Must be the first time ever in SC history.

In my opinion there were also a lot of terran players who left to another Scene. Teaja, MVP and Ryung, who were Code S regulars come to mind. From the other races only Hero left who was in Code A.

First I was like, yummy poetic justice - then I looked at the earlier protoss/zerg stats compared to terran. Now I don't get the funny part in it. Except for open seasons, this history isn't even counting code A+S which would be even better for terrans actually. They can be the smaller number for quite some time before the overall numbers get even close.

To be honest I don't know how much of a future GSTL has at this point anyway. GSTL is starting to become irrelevant because of how infrequent the broadcasts are anyway, It's about x10 easier to catch a Proleague match since it airs 7 matches a week nearly every week instead of two matches a week skipping a lot of weeks. Also Bo7 all-kill format is fucking terrible. I think they chose that so teams like Axiom-Acer, Prime and NSH could stand a chance.
