Perhaps you could name these tournaments?

Yknow the guy who is arguably most famous for his amazing blink-era performance. The guy renowned for doing well when Terran isn't.

He got nicknamed the Fourth Race for a reason.

If Maru is carrying Terran, than Rogue is carrying Zerg, at least in Korea. The last time a Zerg won a tournament with more than 2 Koreans in it that wasn't Rogue was when Dark won the Cross Finals in September 2016.


I mean Rogue ZvZed out soO at Blizzcon. So the highly specific tournament criteria you're cherrypicking don't sound that great.

I'm not sure how filtering out the tournaments that aren't at the highest skill level is cherry picking. soO basically got a free road to the finals, beating an out-of-form GuMiho and rolling over Special, while Rogue had to beat TY.

GSL ring a bell? I hear it's kind of a big deal.

Aside from that we had Katowice (apparently TY so it was 2/12 instead of 1/8) and of course WESG.

We expect Zerg to do disproportionately well in the foreign scene. It's when they do disproportionately well everywhere that it becomes a balance issue.

I do like how this specific wording conveniently leaves out Scarlett's victory.

IEM was basically a WCS event, let's be honest. And if a foreign Zerg is doing a better job of beating Koreans than Korean Zergs are, than the race is weak in Korea.

If you include qualifiers which are a part of a tournament Pyeongchang had more than 2 koreans.
But I guess it doesn't count because it doesn't fit your narrative

Make whatever excuses you want, but Rogue, Serral, Scarlett, Rogue is a hell of a lot better than.......absolutely nobody for Protoss and Terran both.

When a zerg wins it its a tier 2 event with lots of foreigners(IEM, Blizzcon), when T or P wins... I don't know what it is, because they havem't won shit in 6 months.

Dark starting out strong.

This ain't even a 13/12 I think--it's faster.

Since when have qualifiers that were held online a month and a half before the tournament been part of it?

Correct, it was a 12/11, and rather than pooling the lings until speed finishes like he used to do with 13/12, he directly went to kill the hatch.

ZvZ is the only matchup where they're actually useful, gotta use them while you can.

The main benefit is the faster baneling nest right? The zergling attack itself isn't that much stronger. And hmmm mutas against nydus.

Don't know how Scarlett will hold. Eventually, Dark will kill all the spines, all the while making Scarlett's army worse and worse by getting more roaches and queens and spores.
