WoL TvT > TvZ. Cyclones and proxy everything killed TvT for me. And the last phase of TvT in HotS was unbearable, when I remember some Terrans playing gazillion turret turtle style I still have nightmares

Actually 1 hour ahead of planning

"Few questions" --> One of the longest interviews :D

Bunny has no chance vs Serral, inno probably doesnt either, but any is better than 0.

Really hard to gauge with TLPD but considering his winning streak it might be possible. Can't say I followed enough SC2 over the last years to give a more educated guess

Serral vs. Inno would be sick finals. They're also pretty fast today.
Inno vs. Bunny should be finished around 2130 CET, then there'll be the fundraising segment. So finals should start before 2300 CET, which is nice.

You have to add up WoL and HoTS numbers; 8/19 Z's victories in 2018, 6 of which are Serral's.

And 100% of Terran's victories in 2018 are Maru's, whats the point ? I dont get it.

How this would work for Maru and his domination in Korea? (and losing quite soon in every other tournament except WESG and Blizzcon) I'm asking because Maru was playing a harder opponents.
I don't want your guess, I'm asking if the system would favor a Maru v Dark(e.g.) win over a Serral v Mana(e.g.) win (I believe so but I would love to be sure).

Which means they are both good enough to be excluded from their respective races in balance whining sessions.

Point is Terran MUST be OP. And Zerg Weak.
And if numbers don't prove it, the numbers have to be changed to prove it !
You can't just nitpick numbers to fit your narrative when it's obvious they don't...

Considering some players said that they have to archon to play like Maru I suggest to remove Maru from balance discussions at all

This way soO would be just an ordinary player while he was 2nd placing every GSL he met When I open the Premier tournaments on the LP I see plenty of zerg names there like Rogue, soO(the last year Blizzcon finals BTW), Solar, Dark. And in WoL we had Life, Leenock, NesTea, Sniper, Roro, DRG, Symbol
I didn't mean to disrespect Dongraegu and Rogue and I don't want to say Zerg didn't exist in Korea, just that they somehow did not end up winning too much. soO and Dark are great but they are KONGS: so many defeats in the finals.
