:D

I said if both those terrans advance we can start a DISCUSSION about terran imbalance haha. Not saying they are or aren't.


Discussing about Terran imbalance is pointless. T match-ups are perfectly fine on good maps.

We could talk about how dreadful Nimbus and Catallena are though.


Fucking terrible.

All agree?

I thought so.

Nimbus is the best map in the pool to counter pick against protoss. Baits them into nexus first so I can win with a ten pool. Sup DLO?


I heard you didnt 10 pool every map. What a failure.

He almost won on Catallena with a Roach ling attack that got into the natural.

Terran is at a bit of a peak at this point but I wouldn't say "still seems extremely dominant" because while you were gone Terran has gone through some huge valleys and Zerg and Protoss have had their moments as the dominant races.

still better than Yoensu.

Nope, nope and nope. There is a reason why almost every TvP this map is banned. And this time the spawn position were good. This map is a nightmare and those authors who create maps with so much free airspace should burn in hell!



What I couldnt hear you over the blink stalkers.

well technically he's right, Yeonsu's TvP winrate was closer to 50% than Catallena's


Thank you Polt, Taeja and Maru.


55% PvT vs. 38% PvT. Legit claim :p

Nah, he doesn't play that much. At Seatstory cup, he used aggressive decks that weren't updated for the meta, some play mistakes. Didn't do well.


He did the only reasonable thing. As soon as he was on top of the world he retired. Kind of like Fruitdealer.

Meta has changed a lot and gone back and changed again. And now, Terran isn't OP (maybe by the slightest margin but not much) MMA and BOmber are jsut better players

I think general consensus is that terrans are slightly favored (not a lot, best player usually wins imo) with the current map pool. However neither Jaedong or Stardust are the top players of their races, soO, Zest and herO are the ones to look out for this WCS finals!

Bomber and MMA were both favored, but it is possible that terran is the strongest race atm. it's not by much imo though so don't expect to see terran stomps all the way through

Terran might have a very slight edge at the moment, but MMA/Bomber were also favored to win their series, because they are better players than their opponents, when they are in top shape.

Terran actually was suffering a lot and only started to dominate again recently after a bunch of Protoss nerfs and Terran buffs. Before that Zerg was dominating at the end of WoL and Protoss dominated HotS.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

I would argue that both Bomber and MMA were the favorites based on recent form

Oh yeah also this Bomber and MMA definitely won the series because they are better players these days.
