Screw this, no Terrans? And so many mirrors? Nope, nope, nope. Let them enjoy -1

When is the gap gonna close between Terran players and Zerg/Protoss?

When we remove a third in size from every ladder map.
This I can get behind, maps are so goddamn big now. It's crazy.

Yeah they favor the best Zerg players, with good multitasking, muta control, etc.

How many tournaments is this?

All non-GSL ones.

All non-HSC ones as well.

they are no premiers though.



Not really, a good amount of HSC were.


Sure, when Taeja was winning them they definitely were! But just so ridiculous people could make their ridiculous claims and put Taeja at 2nd/3rd in the GOAT race

Need Taeja to come back.

Oh wait, when Taeja was around the only thing that counted was GSL.

Taeja is back, he just sucks balls


Lies, Taeja is great forever. In my heart.

maybe the result of balancing terran around 5 koreans kids who know each other player playstyle and prepare-snipe each GSL game.
So now Terran not only unplayable for foreigners (the situation since years), but also for Koreans in weekenders.

But maybe this will be yet another time concealed by a good Terran GSL performance this season (Maru or Inno), who knows.

Or maybe all koreans terrans take drugs in Korea but don't take them when plane traveling, lol.


Its really only gonna get worse with the years, terran has always needed some form of their agression to be even or create an advatange, there is very little expanding super quickly will do vs Z / P even if you could.
The whole race is about hitting when the enemy is weak. As players get better those vulnerability windows are smaller and smaller and every time something starts winning the steps necesarry to perform it are easily scouted since terran BOs are hilariously inflexible and practically telegraph what you are doing, there is almost no ambiguity, which is one of the reasons proxies were so powerful.

or it's just that the last balance patch where they buffed Protoss early game for no reason was a mistake...
Many of the coolest moments in sc2 happen due to worker harassment

What I've realized watching herO in this tournament is that it's seriously hard to tell whether Protoss buildings with the skins are unpowered or not.
Every 60 seconds in Africa, a minute passes.

but real talk now, why do terrans keep trying to going ultra late game with unit combination that just doesnt work, mmm get raped and destroyed by both p and z. i think this shows the reason why korean t dominate in gsl, they prepare timings against specific opponents and then coast to victory even if its late game, they will have much superior army, meaning they win anyway. that obviously didnt work in iem, as we have seen countless of games of equally sized terrans armies getting dismantled late game.

Sometimes PvP is enjoyable for the exact inverse reason : (legit) protoss too die to protoss random BS.
In this respect Trap vs herO was hilarious.

Yeah, it's not like many of them lost to Zergs. But I would say that's more map issue than balance, but what do I know, I play Z/P
