We are obviously entitled to a terran in the finals! /s

its worth noting that in the last 18 months only one terran has made the finals of a weekender (Maru at wesg 2018).


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...

I'm sure all Zerg players also agree that Protoss was a mistake, but let's not forget most of the pain for Terran in this tournament came from Zergs. And the fact that maps are on average too damn big probably has to do with that.

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.

Maybe because everything else doesn't work? Think about it. THey. Do. This. For. Money. But probably you know better with so much success.

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

Well, Inno beat Serral, Gumiho beat Rogue and Maru beat Dark and a lot of the maps terrans lost were due to nydus which is just silly atm. Except nydus I really don't see a problem in TvZ, Solar just seems crazy strong in the matchup.
TvP on the other hand.........

I mean, it was a winning trade each time, so if it's not broken, don't fix it I guess?

I have to say DieuCure was a true prophet, heralding TY's ascension to godhood in this tournament! Well done, mate.

Dear advancing would be refreshing even if I already see herO's smile.

I knew TY was a kind hearted person. He never been aggressive against his practice partners. He even lost to Special, his friend: Rogue , Stats, and Solar a few times before.

If soO would win I would watch it later, otherwise no reason for me to watch this stuff. I dislike Serral for his annoying fans, I don't like Neeb, Dark will fail, Solar is meh, Dear is not my cup of tea. OK, maybe if herO wins, but I can't see him winning anything after such atrocious year he had.
