EPTFrom the beginning of 2014 til July Protoss won 10/12 Premier tournaments. Not only that 6/12 were PvP finals. That's not quite as bad as what he said, but it's still crazy. Way too early to say terran is that strong. let me add, that 10 DIFFERENT protoss players won those events. So it wasn't just 2-3 godlike players causing it

TvT finals tend not to produce that as players bring out the more aggressive builds. It's like how PvP can be cool when it's LASERS OMG, but more often than not it's decided by 1 base blink or something. | ||

PvP and ZvZ are boring as fuck, but that's just my opinion. TvT only gets really entertaining past the 15-20 minute mark. After that it's possibly the best matchup in the game. | ||

In that time there were 24 Premier Tournaments. Among those 24, Protoss won 16. Among the 8 they didn't win, Taeja won 4, Jaedong won a weak Asus, Life won a weak Bucharest, Hyun beat Oz and Soulkey won against Sora. Worse than it actually was? I dunno | ||

What specificaly do you dislike? Maybe the early game is too volatile, yes, but after that, the terrans in this tournament have show their willingess to play marine-tank vs. marine-tank, which is always different, always new tactics and positions and almost never ends in a single big-blob battle. | ||

Problem was that it was SO skewed that now everyone's used to it being Protoss on top so that any deviation from Protoss outright winning 67% of championships and placing second or third in all the rest is considered poor and indicative of something wrong. | ||
