we hit rock bottom.
The threshold now is: what "many are predicting" the ro4 is gonna be.
Here s a counter-argument for that: I predict it isnt gonna be. Wanna bet?

I'd advise ending this line of discussion before someone deems that it is balance whining irrelevant to the games at hand

I personally think it will be Maru and 3 zergs unless there will be RO8 Rogue/Trap v Maru. In that case 4 zergs(or Trap & 3)
I don't bet.
Edit> Considering the form of Dark, Rogue and Serral it wouldn't be even surprising, but it won't be nice either

Honestly at this point I want Rogue and Elazer to go through tomorrow then we somehow convince Maru and whoever finishes second today to raceswitch. If it truly is the last year of WCS we deserve the armageddon of an all zerg Ro8

lets fix it after blizzcon that sound amazing!

Blizzard should have seen this coming in advance, releasing a patch too close to BlizzCon might have been worse than leaving things as they are now.
Maybe they could have still made it in time if they reacted right after Code S S3's finals, I am not sure.
What's the point in remarking this now?

It really isn't though. Everyone but Serral had to win a tight 3-2 series against another race to advance. It's not like they're cruising through with 3-0s or 3-1s. On top of that, two of the four zergs advancing are literally the first seed from both regions and one is favored to win the whole thing.
The only super surprising zerg to advance would be Elazer, but even then, he was runner up at GSL vs the World so that's not even entirely out of nowhere.

Looks like we're tied up at the moment.

You know this game can be played in the other way around too and list all the achievements of the players who lost?

For me it's pretty clear that reynor, serral, dark are supposed to advance from these groups no matter what balance looks like. soO maybe not so cut and clear, but any claim that showtime and special are a better player than soo is kind of hard to make.
A lot of the maps look like they are good for zerg, but considering both showtime and hero threw their game 5 vs dark and reynor respectively, in a pretty major way, I don't really understand why there's an outrage about zerg strenght bigger than I have ever seen...
Nydus / sh , maps, Nydus look like they're probably too good looking at these games and the last GSL, but these guys are still having to deviler top top performances to clutch out these series , so it's probably not as bad as reading the feedback would have you believe.

I'm not really listing all their achievements. I'm just saying you need to look at context. With small changes, a few zergs could have been knocked out since they had to clutch out 3-2 series. Imagine if Showtime and Special clutched out? Then Dark or soO knock each other out.

Basically what I mean, yeah. I think Rogue saying he won due to balance only caught on way too much and the floodgates opened.
