Real talk. Stardust is playing some of the best SC2 of his life. i think he makes it through Group C with Jaedong.

Yeah, Stardust has been super impressive in the last few weeks. Aligulac says that since (and including) ASUS ROG he is 50-13 in games and 22-2 in matches :o

I'm not sure I like Dear, I feel that outside of his one month of good play he has always been underwhelming.

I think it's only his victories over Maru that allow him to be a contender for player of the year in 2013, since he did have some very nice games there. (vs Taeja as well)

He also took out Soulkey in the WCS 3 season finals showing some of the best PvZ of HotS, had a great record in Proleague, and secured his GSL championship after taking down a fleet of broodlords with only stalkers WITHOUT blink. His mechanics, especially against zerg, were excellent and he showed a profusion of amazing army engagements. I think Dear is still the best Protoss player right now even though he hasn't shown the same level of play in 2014 yet.

So dear is the best protoss player despite not winning anything in a time where protoss does extremely well?
Seems legit i guess

Real talk, I don't think I've ever been as impressed with Protoss play as I was with Dear's during his streak, he just seemed so complete and on another level. Reminded me of Innovation during his run.

He's definitely lost some of what he had in 2014 though, not the same player.

Terrans have been struggling with the match up since the hell bat nerfs. Back then, it was more late game related. With the nerfs to WM,oracle buff and maps, it made the early game horrible as well. So yeah, it has been a bit longer than 2 months.

And aren't you one of the Protoss that kept claiming that TvP was fine in Code A and Terrans just weren't creative enough?

You are right with the first point... and Blizzard is looking into it. (Yes, as usual they take their sweet time...)

But bringing up Code A? Who gives/gave a shit about Code A?

hehe,the crowd really likes Jjakji.

I was trying to give Dear the benefit of the doubt even with my skepticism, but now I'm doubting he'll make it out of his code S group.

Because Code A was the first big tournament after DK's post saying PvT wasn't that bad. Plus 'Code A' this season wasn't really 'Code A'. Everyone except the top 8 last season actually played in Code A and it determined the racial representation of Code S.

I am not saying Blizzard is not looking into it (albeit it is late). But it is ignorant for Protoss to claim this issue has only been going on for 2 months, is it not? The issue just got worse with the new maps.

Apparently Blizzard did not give a shit, that's why we have 3 terrans in code S and terrans won a SINGLE Bo3 in TvP code A.

Hasn't that been the case for a while though? Everyone but the top 8 dropped into Code A, but you would get dropped higher in the Code A bracket if you did well in Code S.

Imho, all of it started the moment they buffed warp prism speed. The match up have gone downhill from there. Oh, and mothership being a silly unit. "We do not want players to rely on one unit skills on lategame, so we will just make a strong one unit early game that you can abuse in very multiple ways instead."
