Hey Pande, you've got a mistake in the result section of your OP
Was it just Maru vs Soulkey game 3 or were there more? Should be fixed now

The way the standings are now not one T playing in KR will make it. WCS KR system is a complete mess with it being this easy to farm points for mediocre players.

Compared to how many Zerg and Protoss ? There are more Zerg and Protoss players worldwide than there are Terrans. It makes sense that there are more good Protoss/Zergs than there are Terrans if more people play them.
From the stats listed here it seems to pretty even. Then in the higher leagues (GM, Masters) Protoss and Zerg outnumber Terrans a lot, but surely these players are just naturally better at the game?

the removal of the season finals really hurt WCS KR players that can't travel

As always people overrate ProLeague players more than ever. Let me remind you that the staple Code S Terrans left Korea. It might've been because it was too hard, but a lot of them got sponsors etc from EU or AM. It was probably a decision to get to as many events as possible, to not miss BlizzCon.

What is code S level? Level fluctuates too much in starcraft. I remember seeing paralyze play few months ago and he was really bad. Now he's a solid protoss who overachieved during this season.
He doesn't look better than guys like Taeja, Flash or MMA to me.

I don't know for Classic vs Paralyze, but I assure you Maru vs SoulKey did deliver some awesome games. Especially if you are into epic baneling focus, hit and run, and overall awesome micro. Special mention to g3 and its huge harvesters graveyard.

Anyway it's so hard to be consistant in SC2 these days. Just look at all these n°1 protoss. Anyone remember Dear being called the best player by the end of 2013 ? :p It moves too fast to call someone better than another.

Yeah, I wish the game had greats like brood war. I wonder why they all fall and not one person conquers.

Maybe because balance is dictated by Blizzard moreso than maps?

Even when there is no changes by blizzard, people just fall off hard.

Mvp was close to that level of dominance.

Maybe when the game will be "perfectly" balanced, we will see big dominance.
But BW was way more mechanically based than sc2. In SC2 you can be on the top without being a macro god. Look at sOs or Polt for instance, both of them aren't really spectacular in micro and macro. I doubt they would have ever performed in BW.

Feels like SC2 is more volatile than BW, little mistakes mean much more than they did in BW and they cost you the win
