This new format clearly is hurting the good zerg players. ZvZ still coinflippy. Other races going to be way more represented in RO8. Good mix up but Roro and Life out... kinda a shame. How. What? I can't even. Why are zerg players more hurt by Bo1 than other races. It makes literally no sense. Think harder. If a lesser Zerg player has more chance to advance in ZvZ (than for instance a Terran does in TvT...), then in the later rounds undeserving Zergs might face deserving Protoss/Terran and get crushed. Think harder yourself. PvP is just as volatile. With terran it might be slightly better.
Bo1 hurts Protoss as much, because they are the least that can mess up in engagements. It is better in HotS because of the Town Portal you have now, but yeah they can mess up that too. Right now Mine Terrans are probably the ones that have a sweet rolling with Bo1, because this style is balanced around messing up without dieing. In the midgame you can mess up 3 widow mine engagements and just win one against the Zerg and it should be even again.
About the mirrors, TvT is completely different then the other matchups for the Terran. It might not be a coinflip, but the skills needed for it are different (excluding Hellvac play that saves Innovations ass for example in TvT), so it is likely that the good Mine Terrans fall to TvT.

I think Leenock is going to lose this game at the current rate.

And as always protoss has to win with some tricky build : ( Protoss can get gimmicky at times. But it´s part of the game, isnt it? The problem is this map. The main base is HUGE and Zerg cant build stuff everywhere, so there will be blind spots to warp in - especially early in the game when you dont have a crapton of Overlords to cover everything and with Phoenix running around killing them. On the flipside Zerg are too greedy / lazy to put a creep tumor in their own main base and this allows them to be abused by such a strategy. Even if you have a creep tumor, it takes too long if your units are not in position, dropping a sentry -> forcefield takes like 1sec. Have to scout it with an overlord or just have units in main in preparation. What prevents you from having units in your main for the minute during which you are vulnerable to this strategy? What happens if the drop "comes late" and you have moved the defending units out? With the faster Warp Prism it *might be* viable to build 2-3 Warp Prisms and start with 4 Sentries and 4 Zealots. Warping in stuff takes time after all and this would add an element of surprise to it. With several Warp Prisms you could have one of them to warp in stuff and the other(s) could be used to micro and save your units. The only possibility seems to be a counter-attack and if you plan to use this strategy a tight wall and several cannons seems an easy enough defense. This attack becomes less powerful over time. Most of zerg T2 tech options shut it down, as does having sufficient production in your main.
Like all the stuff that is OUTSIDE the sealed off ramp? Zerg rarely go for burrowed Roach movement and there are certainly no Ultralisks to break the Forcefield. As for the counter-attack Zerglings are limited in their efficiency of breaking down a wall by the surface area and a few Sentries and 3+ cannons can make that really cost inefficient and you might not have that many Roaches at the time. One or two Void Rays would make the Zerg lose Roaches while attacking the wall.
Protoss will have more Warp Gates at a later time too and the whole point of such an attack could simply be to kill some tech, queens and drones and not to win outright. Since many tech buildings are bound to be in the main this is a shot in the leg for the Zerg if it succeeds, but you could probably save several units if you had the foresight to bring several Warp Prisms ... and if the Zerg isnt going Mutalisks already.
