Cure was in Code S in Season 1

oops forgot that :p



Yes so stop trying to trashtalk the most gifted player in sc2 history just because you don't know anything please.

The most gifted sc2 player was Taeja, literally didn't train and still won vs all the best koreans


Don't forget the ludicrous number of GSLs and other Korean tournaments he won.

Well, take NEEB out of the tournament and here is your top 16 ZvP matches:

TRUE 3:0 DnS
Scarlett 3:2 Harstrem
Serral 3:0 MaNa
Snute 3:1 Has

So, in actual matchups without Neeb in the game, zerg won 4 out of 4 matchups. Yeah, really weak race.

How about just admitting Neeb is SO FAR ahead of all these nerds - thats why these finals are always so one sided despite zerg DOMINATING the rest of the tournament. (6 zerg out of top 8?? yeah. so bad.)


This. Have a Zerg and a Terran as good as Neeb is and things would be different. Zerg tears tho


And the really sad thing is that Snute and Scarlett are both mechanically as good as Neeb, but for some stupid reason, they have this mental block vs a great protoss like Neeb and just do terrible all-ins and stupid decisions that lose them the series in 30 minutes.. (causing casual watchers to think zerg is weak rofl).. They dont do that vs other protosses like Has or MaNa, but vs Neeb they just go "Welp, I cant win anyways so mise well do a terrible 2 base timing!" - Its basically the mentality of foreigner zerg since the artosis/idra days - they are so ingrained with the balance whining that they dont even try unless they THINK they are massively superior vs an opponent. You don't see soO and Dark make stupid decisions like that vs protoss. This is the difference of foreigner vs korean. Koreans actually dont believe balance whine accomplishes anything but making excuses for themselves.

If Neeb switched to Zerg, he would be GSL level. He is just a superior player in all aspects of the game.

Have they never seen Formula 1?

Formula 1 have a lot better champagnes and a lot bigger, it's hard to build up pressure in this small bottle :p


While this is true, the thing is that no ones blocks the end of the bottle with their thump. That's the trick ;p

I remember the last few seasons where he simply wanted to retire but all the top koreans preparing for GSL still couldn't beat him until ro8/ro16.

The problem was always that you can talk whatever shit you want but I need to prove the imbalance in 50 page essays. To be honest no % statistics that you can bring up will show if PvZ is broken or not. Try asking all top50 zergs and top50 protosses if PvZ is fair at the moment and then draw some conclusions. 49 out of 50 zergs(except TLO) will say it's not and probably even half of protosses will say the same.

Major dropped out early, Kela made the Ro8. 1 Terran making a playoff run is pretty normal for foreign tourneys.

Every foreign event this year has 3 assumptions:
1. Huge overrepresentation of Zerg
2. 1 Terran makes it to playoffs before dying
3. Neeb wins

That's 2017 WCS Circuit in broad strokes

If you give me the top50 list i would ask them, just saying.

Something has to change, honestly.


Well, take NEEB out of the tournament and here is your top 16 ZvP matches:

TRUE 3:0 DnS
Scarlett 3:2 Harstrem
Serral 3:0 MaNa
Snute 3:1 Has

So, in actual matchups without Neeb in the game, zerg won 4 out of 4 matchups. Yeah, really weak race.

How about just admitting Neeb is SO FAR ahead of all these nerds - thats why these finals are always so one sided despite zerg DOMINATING the rest of the tournament. (6 zerg out of top 8?? yeah. so bad.)


This. Have a Zerg and a Terran as good as Neeb is and things would be different. Zerg tears tho


And the really sad thing is that Snute and Scarlett are both mechanically as good as Neeb, but for some stupid reason, they have this mental block vs a great protoss like Neeb and just do terrible all-ins and stupid decisions that lose them the series in 30 minutes.. (causing casual watchers to think zerg is weak rofl).. They dont do that vs other protosses like Has or MaNa, but vs Neeb they just go "Welp, I cant win anyways so mise well do a terrible 2 base timing!" - Its basically the mentality of foreigner zerg since the artosis/idra days - they are so ingrained with the balance whining that they dont even try unless they THINK they are massively superior vs an opponent.

If Neeb switched to Zerg, he would be GSL level. He is just a superior player in all aspects of the game.

The problem was always that you can talk whatever shit you want but I need to prove the imbalance in 50 page essays. To be honest no % statistics that you can bring up will show if PvZ is broken or not. Try asking all top50 zergs and top50 protosses if PvZ is fair at the moment and then draw some conclusions. 49 out of 50 zergs(except TLO) will say it's not and probably even half of protosses will say the same.

then why is only 1 toss in the top 8 WCS standings?

because only Neeb and ShoWTime were sufficiently skilled in the foreign scene to be able to seize the opportunity, and ShoWTime had an awful year for reasons. The other highly talented players of the foreign scene are Z (most of them) and T (roughly as many legit T as there are P).

Because Zerg is Imba. Read Nerchio's post. He is not saying, Protoss is strong. He is saying PvZ is not balanced, but he is not saying, which side is stronger. The answer is shown in the WCS ranking :-P

great performance by Neeb sadly he loses to the final boss. GG

But what is the reason that the Races are so uneven distributed in WCS, especially in Europe?
It really hurts the European Zerg that most of their training is ZvZ.

Major and Kelazhur are decent but Neeb is on another level.

This statistic doesn't mean anything, I know it is very easy to bring up and it is useful for low level discussion like you guys are doing here (I did the same but I have to say it means absolutely nothing). Number of players playing one race in a tournament is based on so many things that you can't even list here and only maybe 30-40% of it is balance.

We have to start from the fact that there is no 33%Z/33%T/33%P playing the game and how the scene developed overtime. The fact is that we have plenty of high level zergs and little protoss or terran players. In Korea it's different and there is more P/T.

through ages of sc2, there has never been a topnotch nonkorean terran. Has any nonkorean terran even won any tournaments?

edit : nvm, thorzain was probably only one who managed for a short while.
