It's the 2nd tournament where terran severely underperformed. 2 "accidents" in such a short time span while this basically never happens usually except GomTvT/Blink/BLInfestor era? Seems hard to believe.
And why do you bring up statistics from last year on a completely different patch???

That's technically not true: Zerg performed way worse than Terran, who could still win the tournament(it's unlikely, of course; their performance in qualifiers was atrocious, indeed); at IEM, qualifiers were fine, the actual tournament was the problem. Code S S1 qualifiers were bad for Terran but they did well in the tournament(Maru won the event, but even if we discard that, Terran had a very efficient conversion rate into ro16).
Because people were screaming of Protoss op last year already; In 2019 Protoss is 2/5, also not that dominating.

SOOOOOOOOO NOOOOOOOO
now the only two players left to root for are gumigod and $0$

Largely this does tend to be the case and it's such a small sample size that it's super hard to differentiate a trend from just a fluke weekend or whatever.
I think Protoss would win more tournaments if mechanics scaled better for them, even if they were nerfed in other ways. Kinda been how I wanted aspects of the race tweaked since Wings, just for personal preference in both playing and watching.
I mean we've seen this borne out enough times, the tools and stuff Protoss can pull off are super annoying sometimes to play against on ladder, or watching a tournament, equally Protoss can't gain nearly as much advantage mechanically when they hit a certain ceiling vs the other two races.

were any of the series worth watching? I caught most of sOs vs Solar and then went to bed

(in response to ppl complaining about gomtvt)
TvT is a delight and a treasure to watch. PvP is not. ZvZ was not, until LotV when it became exciting.

Not really sure about what the point you're trying to make is. WESG is a ton of money but to win it you only have to play one or two real series. Zerg just won IEM and last Blizzcon? No one is having a heart attack over Protoss results. Zest/Stats are two of favorite players. I think most people are talking about the abundance of Toss this tourney (7/8 remaining players). I'm mostly coming at this from a viewer POV, I'd much rather have different Mu's than the same one being spammed all day.

Protoss isn't even 2/5 in premier tournaments in 2019. It's 1/6 and the sole win was neeb in NA which might as well mean Protoss won nothing
The super tournament should put them on the map. Inb4 gumiho wins

The point I'm making is that overperformance of one race at one small premier tournament is not a telling sign of imbalance of that race especially when you realize that another race has been over performing in much bigger veins.

If we assume they are correct what does that even imply? That most Terran pros are just patch terrans? (Obviously I don't think this is the case )

You have to qualify for WESG though, especially given there tend to be mismatches there it's the easiest money in the current SC2 scene so presumably the Koreans bust a gut to get to that tournament.

Yeah no doubt the KR qualifier is tougher than the real tourney.

"Only nerfs" like warp gate research speed or the cheaper robotics? Observer speed buff which isnt that significant.
In PvZ protoss mid game is way too good now. Immortals are beyond broken and the warp prism costs nothing compared to its real value.

The very weid fact is that you would be all so happy if we had 7/8 Terran left. I don't get why people say this. No we wouldn't. During GomTvT there was 6/8 at the most and terran was universally considered too strong Protoss isn't too strong right now, they are only winning Super Tournaments(and lagging behind on Aligulac) while Terran definitely were dominating every kind of competition back in GoMTvT era. PvP is not the best mirror to watch atm, I agree, I would argue ZvZ(not TvT) is and I still see people complaining every WCS; I meant many would be glad if there were Terran everywhere, regardless of balance. Let's say they seem to be the most loved race on this forum, judging by the comments. Because we have so many terrans and terran champions in the WCS right? 7/8 in a tournament is a sign? Most likely. Does prove toss is too imbalaced? Not yet, but saying that this has no meaning its nothing short of disengenious, and trying to steer the conversation to something that happened 8 years ago (where people DID complain that terran was IMBA) is just down right malicius. Hm, what? I'm not sure I get your point about WCS(maybe you didn't get mine as well). 7/8 in one tournament means nothing, by itself. Protoss won 4/19 Premier tournaments(three korean ones) including this one since the start of 2018(despite reaching the finals at least 14 times); this is not how imbalance looks like, whereas Terran eight years ago won a disproportionate amount of tournaments. Let's see if Protoss start dominating after Super Tournament before making any kind of claim about their supposed opness. It's the 2nd tournament where terran severely underperformed. 2 "accidents" in such a short time span while this basically never happens usually except GomTvT/Blink/BLInfestor era? Seems hard to believe. And why do you bring up statistics from last year on a completely different patch??? Because people were screaming of Protoss op last year already; In 2019 Protoss is 2/5, also not that dominating. The funny part is that since then protoss was met with only nerfs except tempest, and Terran got some buffs and the same crowd is now saying the problem is getting worse If we assume they are correct what does that even imply? That most Terran pros are just patch terrans? (Obviously I don't think this is the case ) "Only nerfs" like warp gate research speed or the cheaper robotics? Observer speed buff which isnt that significant. In PvZ protoss mid game is way too good now. Immortals are beyond broken and the warp prism costs nothing compared to its real value.
Probably, again they’re band aid fixes if you take them away Protoss has what exactly?
Protoss always has real problems balancing because they need good offensive options, but rather than make their stock stuff more microable, or add a new unit that scales with micro and is versatile, they get crazy good weapons and the same issues with their stock army remain.
So we get the Oracle which was a game-ending worker shredder for a while and suites being proxied.
The warp prism has continually been buffed, true. I’d argue it’s too strong in ways but equally Protoss basically need it to be that strong.
Protoss don’t have units quick enough to manoeuvre the map and do runbys like hellions or zerglings, nor do they have the ability to micro well and do consistent damage by splitting their army like Terran bio or drops.
You can break Protoss in PvZ, very, very easily. They win by having options that they can disguise, and mixing them up. If you remove options that Zergs can misread, Zergs will destroy Protoss pretty quickly in that matchup.
I can’t say I like some of the big book of Protoss bullshit by any means, they do kind of need to have that book to be competitive.
