Just as I predicted. Terran will win, no matter what. TvZ is very difficult for Zerg to win.
Protoss does well in ro 8, but past it they can't beat terran. PvZ seems 50:50 though. First was terrible and not good anyway.
And now with Terran buff in TvP incoming, high level TvP will absolutely favour Terran. I can't believe DK is trying to incorporate helbats into already powerful ghost-medivac composition. Not that I expected any better for the balance any time soon.
I'm glad it's all been made very clear that Protoss will never win major tournaments with many Korean participants, especially with T and Z buff on shedule, no less. Not to be spiteful, but I am less inclined to watch SC2 since it's just getting tiresome watching protoss getting crushed at top level again and again.
I hope Jaedong wins this tournament, lest we see another terran victory.

If bomber will get through, i think it will be easy walkover for the Dong... Bomber TvZ is his weakest matchup.
About Bomber vs Taeja - it's really hard to call - but i give slight edge to taeja, since bomber was a TvTer which was very relied on on Hellbats as far as i remember from the TvTs i saw from him. However, this doesnt say much on his play w/o hellbats, because, at that time, anyone who didnt use them was kinda asking for the lose.
You non-believers will get you asses handed to you fairly soon. Bomber have always been a great TvTer not just when hellbats where a thing as long as he is playing on ball.

oh that, I thought it was some other thing
no like says bad words swears, that kind of thing, you know its very unprofessional.
tbh I if I were a player I would rather have artosis calling me a piece of shit than predicting that I was going to win
yeah because if he called you a piece of shit, you'd actually win something.

1. Bomber will always disappoint. 2. If Bomber does not disappoint, it's to set up a greater disappointment further down the line.
I think Jaedong losing in the finals and getting another second place would actually be the biggest disappointment here. Bomber's law might end up giving Bomber a major championship win.

lets see how the Zergs would say there was no good Terran or Protoss player in WCS finals so a Zerg win wouldn't mean anything
Because one tournament win means something? Oh gosh thank you Taeja won some tournies at the end of Wol so Zergs weren't at all overpowered.
Zerg won most tournaments since Heart of the Swarm. Go look it up, but you can keep crying
Rofl I don't really care about balance as long as I can watch good games (also I play T). And I see you make balance comments in every thread so keep your advice to yourself.
Hahahha I point it out, you give contra (shitty one at that) and when I point out Zerg won most, you try to insult me. Cute guy
wooah? xD Where do you see any insult? I pointed out that a tournament win means nothing (stats you know) and you talk about something else to prove whatever you want to prove. I mean there was a PvP final in WCS EU so Z, T weak? u_u
Sc2 is a really volatile game (Innovation didn't even make it past the group stages ffs)
I said Zergs complaint about their winnings when they win most tournaments. You said one tournament means next to nothing which is true and I didn't talk about other stuff, I pointed out that Zerg won MOST since HotS, so its not ONE TOURNAMENT.

He arrived with the image of a horrible ZvPer, in a group with 3 protoss iirc, then advanced 1st, then hit a toss in every round and owned them without dropping a game I think. What happened indeed, I remember JD running his roaches up to a ramp and get forcefielded to death like it was yesterday.
Oh god, that first proleague game (and like every other JvP thereafter..) so glad he figured this shit out, it's amazing to watch.
agreed, i'm wondering if that 5 hatch build in game 2 can actually be useful for other transitions. pretty sure that type of play would be strong against both 2 base builds and fast third bases from toss.
Life has an 11minute 5 hatch zergling/baneling attack vs terran which is similar in the way that it has 5 hatches
generally speaking, 5 hatches seems to be conducive to making a shit ton of zerglings.
