TvP really does look unwinnable for Terran.

I dont think you can take much from the last game, showtime goddamn walked zealots into thermal's base and somehow did massive damage, imagine if they went with a warp prism, they get there much faster and are much more microable (ptitdrogo wrecked 6.5k kr terrans earlier today with this exact response) and then his second zealot warp-in gave up harassing mid way and went back to suicide into the bunker wall, just bad play from showtime.
So... what that make you? Good? You're not good. You just know how to hide, how to lie

Storm damaged halved - Collossus beam costing minerals for every attack - Zealots getting a random chance of tripping during charge.

Or we can just delete Protoss from the game, pretty sure that won't affect TVZ which is the only matchup that matters in this game

On the flipside, EU would be even more saturated with ZvZs.

So unplayable Terran keep beating Protoss these qualifiers:15-11 in maps(5-3 in games) day 1 into 18-11(7-4) day 2 in EU, and it went a similar way in AM.
The matchup is broken and has to be fixed but it can't really be called Protoss favored when the lategame imbalance just isn't reached often enough.

On the other hand, as happened in HSC, once games acquire a certain importance Zerg falter.

Too early and too few datas to actually say anything buy the problem might not be TvP balance wise.

Only terrans could have 2/3 terrans advance from each qualifier and complain that Terran is completely unplayable.

Foreign Terrans are completely unplayable. For years now. Major exception to the rule is Special Juan
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

Wow Snute is so good o_o casually looking like a contender after being in hiatus competitively...

Whereas Lambo (who had as high epm against Maru as Serral funnily enough, yet no one commented on that) couldn’t go that far

Promising results for Mlord too, beating some good players

It’s finally sc2 time again, break was too long

0 of 6 for Zerg qualified, with 2 of 16 for Zerg through open NA/EU qualis, and only 1 Zerg making to a qualifying match (bo5).

And this is including EU region, protected from KR by lag.

I was expecting KR to be devoid of Zerg from HSC performances, but I guess the patch was really really bad for Zerg, I can only imagine how bad race representation is going to be.

Serral is still winning it though

Not even 50 maps is a really bad sample, considering that KR terran were playing against foreigner toss.

http://aligulac.com/periods/231/

Larger sample shows how it is.

But because of people like you (believing that games won because of proxy and scv pull are enough to say that the match up dont have to be fixed because it's balanced) is why this matchup will remain as it is, full of clown builds and plays.
There is urgency, but saying that this isnt the case because the terrans manage to win, we will just deport the problem.

If you want to use THIS as the proof, then don't talk just about PvT. ZvT is off too. And while Terrans managed to go through we can't say that much about Zergs, right? ;-)

we're yet to know whether terran s all-in are too strong or not but what terran players are doing right now is definately not what blizzard've stated in the feedback update

If you look at the lists before this one after the patch,or even at the current one,you will find out a different truth.

The games that mattered the most during this period were the ones at HSC and these last ones at IEM qualifiers and Zerg have performed horribly there. Hopefully Dark&co will qualify en masse or we could have very few Zerg in Katowice(on the other hand, WESG qualifiers were played pre patch and the tournament will be stacked with Zerg).

I am saying TvP HAS to be fixed because it is not well balanced, Protoss definitely has the upper hand in the latest stage of the game.
However, this doesn't translate in the mu being unplayable for Terran at pro level; proxies, pushes and all-in Terran are forced to use are in fact apparently hard for the Protoss to repel or at least have been the last two days, given Terran have won more maps and games.
