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! Life, MC and Taeja will rek those scrubs though, so people will whine again. | ||

OK, follow-up question: people have been saying for years that the bigger a map, the harder it is for Terran because of reinforcing distance. This is by far the biggest map pool we've ever had, with only one map being smaller than Whirlwind... so is map size not that big a deal after all? | ||

Before that Zerg was dominating at the end of WoL and Protoss dominated HotS. Zerg has probably been the weakest race throughout the year, but thank god we have soO. | ||

Terran still seems to be extremely dominant, is this because MMA and Bomber were simply the better players or did their race play a large role in their dominant victories? I couldn't help but overhear Bomber saying in the interview that 'it was a good match-up'. P.S. - funny to see how the meta hasn't changed that much, still seeing the same triple CC mass reactor rax bioball  Don't be fooled by only 2 games, things aren't that bright for terrans | ||

On Nimbus you basically have to hope the T messes up or play Phoenix colossi. It's a fundamentally bad map for this match-up, far more than Yeonsu. Wouldn't totally agree on that. Some maps are better for dropping then defending against drops, imo. :-P | ||

Those maps aren't that huge, and huge maps like Deadwing are indeed hard for T. | ||
