Guess it's only natural that in the era of protoss the only one I really like is knocked out.Just can't advance from the group of death when you're not playing well. Not watching his army (twice!) cost him the last game.

Semis are going to be 2 Zerg, 1 Terran, and 1 Protoss. Finals are going to be either a TvZ or a ZvZ. And people will still complain about Protoss. | ||

Yeah because 8/16 and 5/8 and 7/8 is completely normal race distribution... or 6/5/1 IIRC Also I don't think Classic will lose | ||

If soO beats Classic but then has to face Trap in the ro4, then maybe the limitation on number of builds will come into play but I feel like that is less of a Zerg issue than it is a Protoss or Terran issue. | ||

Pre-emptive complaining about hypothetical balance whine about results that didn't happen yet. Truly next level. | ||

Predicting seven or eight Protoss to go through and extensively whining about it has been a trend, recently; preemptive complaints seem a fitting response. | ||

Has there ever been a time in SC2 when people weren't complaining about Protoss? I'm pretty sure Zerg were still complaining about Protoss in early 2018 when the match up was Wings of Liberty levels of broken. If GSL were 16 Terran, 15 Zerg, and 1 Protoss, people would still be calling Protoss OP. | ||

I mean I can't say I have seen someone complain about Terran since IEM Katowice There's also been moment when everyone was pretty ok with zerg, late HOTS for exemple. | ||

Finals look like they will be Dark vs. Innovation/soO. I just find it hilarious to hear them balance whine after destroying their opponents. I just hope the balance team is smart enough not to fall for it. What do you guys think? | ||

Stats losing today is more surprising than patience, but still not completely unexpected with the way Inno has been playing TvP lately—those timings are crisp. It’s still hard to deny that TvP isn’t quite right given the RO16 and now RO8 race distribution. Terrains are trying things, even mech (with some success) but the matchup doesn’t feel balanced. | ||

Yeah, it's not like were just having P dominance that is worse than GomTvT statistically, but hey, eit's fine On June 01 2019 23:12 Boggyb wrote: Has there ever been a time in SC2 when people weren't complaining about Protoss?

Dude, not nice, at least admit it's not balanced currently with the numbers we;re getting, hiding isn't helping. | ||
