It has always been that way

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

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.

Just so we are clear, are you commenting on the quality of play from the two players and how it led to the outcome, or is this a balance complaint saying that Zerg is OP compared to Terran?

I think zvt is imba and at the same time Serral is much better than Bunny ;D, also catching the medivacs didnt really make much of a difference , Bunny failed to find any weaknesses at all.


You think it's imba in favor of Zerg? How do you account for soO, Rogue and Reynor losing so many matches to Terrans in this tournament? They all just had a bad tournament at the same time?

Of those 3 only Raynor was playing good inthe tourney. Rogue didn't even try and soO was still slumping hard. Reynor needs to learn how to play vs mines as he somehow missed this era or totally forgot Using Rogue especially is a pathetic try as he played horriblpy.

(not saying ZvT is imba, but on the other hand it would explain why so many good foreigner are zergs )


The player base for Zerg is relatively larger in EU/NA than in KR; implying than a korean is better than a foreigner nevertheless and that if a non korean wins it's because of op Zerg is frankly out of place in 2018.

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


Given the average opinion here, smileys need to be properly answered.
If you exclude Life and Nestea, korean Zergs in sc2 have been slumping forever(except for HoTS era)! Despite Serral's victories this year, Zergs have the fewest Premier victories out of the three races(not by much, it's pretty close).


On LoTV : Z 19 premier, P 18, T 16. And Z also have the highest number of runner up.


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).

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...

Once again, Bunny played better than Serral the entire game until 4 medivacs got caught and then the game became virtually unwinnable.


Just so we are clear, are you commenting on the quality of play from the two players and how it led to the outcome, or is this a balance complaint saying that Zerg is OP compared to Terran?

I think zvt is imba and at the same time Serral is much better than Bunny ;D, also catching the medivacs didnt really make much of a difference , Bunny failed to find any weaknesses at all.


You think it's imba in favor of Zerg? How do you account for soO, Rogue and Reynor losing so many matches to Terrans in this tournament? They all just had a bad tournament at the same time?

Of those 3 only Raynor was playing good inthe tourney. Rogue didn't even try and soO was still slumping hard. Reynor needs to learn how to play vs mines as he somehow missed this era or totally forgot Using Rogue especially is a pathetic try as he played horriblpy.

(not saying ZvT is imba, but on the other hand it would explain why so many good foreigner are zergs )


The player base for Zerg is relatively larger in EU/NA than in KR; implying than a korean is better than a foreigner nevertheless and that if a non korean wins it's because of op Zerg is frankly out of place in 2018.

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


Given the average opinion here, smileys need to be properly answered.
If you exclude Life and Nestea, korean Zergs in sc2 have been slumping forever(except for HoTS era)! Despite Serral's victories this year, Zergs have the fewest Premier victories out of the three races(not by much, it's pretty close).

The problem is that you can't look just at the victories. 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.

Thanks to the subscription ambassador I did not forget to refresh my prime sub. o7
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.
