Playing terran just makes you sick atm /s

Him being sick made him lose to TIME (!) in bo5 so it's probably better we didn't see him play Creator in this state.
Hopefully in the bracket stage we see more diversity !

Sure, one of the best foreigners losing a late game against a retired player = late game is better for terrans.

Are top foreigners supposed to be better than retired koreans?

The seeding for this qualifier just actually made no sense. People with 0 Korean WCS points in 2017 getting higher seeds than people who played in 2 GSLs

I mean it's one thing to give an advantage to the players who were at Blizzcon, but some of the stuff is just beyond completely arbitrary.
Every 60 seconds in Africa, a minute passes.

It depends on the players but can Leenock be considered retired since he even played (and qualify iirc) in important qualifiers such as GSL?
He probably practiced as much as Special so it doesn't say much about TvZ.

That would be an interesting change considering Terran hasn't been favoured in the late game against Zerg since Mvp got ghosts nerfed. Not convinced it's true though--ghosts are scary but Zerg still has tools. Snute vs ByuN at OSC was an instructive game with regards to lategame ZvT with Snute suiciding a number of expensive armies and going down tens of thousands in resources lost yet still eventually breaking ByuN with Zerg's remax capabilities.

I'm glad to see you valiantly cherry-picking data especially when 2 zergs and a terran got out of qualifier 1 (I'm not saying the game is balanced, it isn't, but why do terran whiners like you have to cry imbalance at every occasion? It's not like 3x bo5 PvTs are statistically indicative of anything at all balance-wise, but you're acting like these numbers were written in blood by David Kim Himself.)

I think in late HotS terran had a slight advantage in lategame too
Also 4.0 doesn't change anything about lategame, does it? The only tvz change is the hydra upgrade nerf.

For all of 4.0? The big lategame changes are the raven and infestor changes, though I don't see how that would advantage terran.

Indeed, if it was a ro8 to see who got 4th and 5th, as three non-Protoss have already qualified.

He's been around for IEM stuff every now and then, but yeah, he doesn't cast too much SC2 anymore. He was always one of my favourite casters along with Apollo.
