In this HSC were invited most of the best Zerg players in the world while not actually the top Protoss or Terran; i was expecting a full Z top4 or something similar, instead we have seen an overabundance of Terran. Only Serral is in the top8 and he is the best player in the world right now, how could it be? Sure, Zerg players may be underperforming but maybe the patch actually changed something? ASSUMING Zerg were op before, they definitely are not anymore; at least, it appears they aren't at the moment. Oh FFS how many smileys do i have to use so people understand it's a joke... Zergs in Korea are in slump, Dark's not there, Rogue is volatile and we lost some great names(eg Soulkey). At the same time Korean Terrans are actually good enough to use their racial advantage. We used to had plenty of good Zergs in Korea, in the blink era IIRC it was 50/50 ZP and 3 Terran  | ||

(1 map in a bo3 is exactly "fair" but no one wants that) Yeah but I can't remember the tournament that did that. There was also the Lone Star Clash format where the first part of the final was a Bo5 (as was every round until then), then a Bo3. | ||

(1 map in a bo3 is exactly "fair" but no one wants that) I could be problematic with the map veto if you give a map advantage, I mean if Serral start 1 map up in a ZvT and also get to play Parasite it's kind of stupid. | ||

Btw with this HSC serral also took the record of most defenses out of MMA, now he has 22 defenses to his name so far (potentially 23). Only needs to hang for 2 more months and he gets most time as champion (Rogue currently holds the record with 185 days total). edit: hurricane had 8 defenses, I wasn't around but must assume he was having a good time at least | ||
