EPTI play zerg but I have to admit that the only matches that was won against a Z was Polt-Lambo and Huk-PiG. Zergs presence is more and more predominant as the round goes.

Zergs presence is more and more predominant as the round goes. Let's look at every zerg win. Nerchio vs ShoWTimE : Very tight set, both players play very well, extremely tense until the last second. Lilbow vs SortOf : Lilbow gets advantages, throws it by going all-in with blink stalkers time and time again. MajOr vs Snute : Snute outplayed MajOr by holding him off, Snute was the favorite, no big deal. Hydra vs Happy : Hydra heavy favorite, wins in a close set. FireCake vs Has : FireCake is the definite favorite, plays smart and tactically against a cheesy player. MarineLorD vs viOLet : Tense, tight set, MarineLorD loses based on his own mistakes and his own choices, not imba. MaSa vs Snute : Snute is the heavy favorite. So, really, the only 'upsets' were MarineLorD vs viOLet and Lilbow vs SortOf, both of which involved the non-zerg making a few key mistakes while the zerg played well and largely out-performed the other race. I don't think zerg is necessarily imba, I just think the zergs have proven to be the best players in this tournament. | ||

That's the best case. Worst case is he loses to Firecake and after HuK got Nerchio'd all we get is ZvZ -.- | ||

We don't take kindly to your kind around here! | ||

Problem with that logic is that if zerg were to be the strongest race it would be easier to be considered "favorite" | ||

They've accomplished so much more than their opponents that even if they were struggling now they'd be considered favorites. | ||

When Behind, Dark Shrine. So what? By that HotS logic Lilbow would never lose to SortOf unless zerg super strong or something. But it's not HotS so favorite on HotS doesn't translate well to favorite on LotV. The only thing that would help with the ZvZ would be to have a korean protoss. | ||
