Because it is getting really annoying. You might want to look at tournament results. Here, http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Premier_Tournaments, you can find a list of hots tournament. You will discover, maybe with surprise, that terrans players have won 14 premier tournaments in hots, while protoss have won 8 and zerg 7. That's right, terran players have almost the same number of titles than protoss and zerg players combined  I don't even have anything against terran lol, but you are just really annoying complaining without reason. And i'm not saying by these numbers that the game is imbalanced because it would be stupid to say so, I'm just saying that it is also stupid to say terrans are in a bad state. Now I'm going to sleep because I know that even confronted with proofs that you are wrong, you will probably continue to argue. Edit : And I agree that for some reason, terran seems harder for foreigners, but complaining that korean terrans have a hard time just makes me laugh | ||

Im sure jakji himself would agree he hasn't been in his best form. It doesn't matter whether jjakji is at his best form or not. The fact is that he's better than Scarlett and elfi yet lost both of them. On December 07 2013 10:44 SkullZ9 wrote: Can you please stop saying Terran is in a bad state ? Please ?

It's not about a simplistic "X or Y are OP," it's about Terran being the most at risk to lose inferior opponents. | ||

Delays, jet lag, fatigue, whatever. Jjakji also lost to Scarlett. While yes, Scarlett is likely better than Elfi, he is no slouch. Foreigners definitely have potential to take games away from Code S players, and like you said, the conditions were not the most favorable, and chances are Elfi was more prepared for them than Jjakji. | ||

As I already said, only foreign Zergs and Protoss players can take games off of Koreans. Happy is the only foreign Terran that has taken a game off of a Korean, let alone a foreigner, since the last patch. Lucifron was the only other hope and he completely fell off. | ||

I just don't understand how you can be arguing imbalance if when it comes to major tournaments since september, 5 of them were won by terran, 2 by zerg, and 4 by protoss. That seems like a VERY even distribution to me. And if we talk Winner + Runner-up for the tournaments since September, it is: 6 terran 7 zerg 9 protoss You really can't get much more even than this. The minor difference from being completely even can easily be explained by a small sample too. There is no evidence for a certain race being more favoured. | ||

Ro4 : 2P 2Z WCG Ro4 3P 1Z GSL Hot6ix Cup : 1T 2P 1Z AsusRog Now Ro8 1T 3P 3Z That's 6 Terrans, 10 Protoss, 11 Zergs. See ? Now you put Taeja out and it's only 3 Terrans. Yey. If I did this to Ro8, it would be even more uneven. | ||

You are seriously underestimating Scarlett's skill if you think she should not be capable of beating jakji. Elfi was a surprise for sure, but we don't know the condition of jakji going into these matches. You are always far too quick to blame balance every time a terran loses in any tournament and you don't give credit to the skill of any zerg or protoss players. | ||
