Also soO is the only player to make multiple GSL finals without a title right? No other finalist loser has made it back to finals beside mvp, who had his GSL wins right? EDIT: lol nvm MKP exists | ||

No race has ever had this long of a drought in the history of the game. If Terran went this long without winning something there would be a bunch of Reddit posts and a few TL articles. At some point there being a bunch of ZvZ in foreign tournaments becomes irrelevant when the race is borderline nonviable at the highest level. Not balance's fault Zerg's are all either chokers or too consistent to stand in the way of hot streaks other finalists often enjoy | ||

EDIT: lol nvm MKP exists I don't feel that soO played especially above or below his usual. Mech has always been one of his weak points and he was up against an opponent that specializes in it. Coming into this, unless you factored in the possibility of Gumiho choking due to it being his first final (which he didn't) he was totally the favorite based on form, playstyle and past history vs. soO. == For the second question, aside from soO and Marineking, ByuL has also made multiple GSL finals (and even consecutive) without claiming the gold ;; | ||

At some point there being a bunch of ZvZ in foreign tournaments becomes irrelevant when the race is borderline nonviable at the highest level. Making balance claims based solely on winners isn't very productive, because it's such a small sample and it's heavily influenced by who the specific players are. For example, in last three years (in you "more than 2 years since Zerg won"), there were 4 Terrans, 5 Protosses and 5 Zergs in a GSL finals. Yes, the Zergs lost more than won, but is that really so telling? | ||

So, 7 zerg in the top 16 of the year. 2nd is a thing. | ||

They get the most appearances in finals though and if you want zerg to get buffed then the EU terran and protoss need to get good. blizz didn't buff zerg for the whole of 2016 because EU was mostly ZvZ | ||

Nice to see gumiho finally win a title, too many people underestimated him. SoO on the other hand... maybe the man is just not good enough :/ | ||
