You're just contradicting yourself.

It's a bit sad to have all this balance talk on top such great play from TY rather than just enjoying the games (unless you're a Dark fan, that is understandable). Dark didn't lose because of balance, he lost because of TY playing amazing and Dark not having a good day.
According to aligulac, TvZ has been perfectly balanced for the last three months. So yeah we can definitely discuss the upcoming balance patch but today was not about balance.

There is also the fact that ping favors EU players over KR so it's easier to get results.

He's consistent like Innovation is consistent, sure he has embarassing moments and big slumps, but its someone we know can bounce back to the top at any time.

We had unbalaned years since the beginning of SC as there will never be perfect balance. However, attacking people that speak up now for not having done so earlier seems silly.
well, it's not. In my view they were fine with zergs being strong while other races were not. Now the card flips and they're in uproar. It;s hypocritical imo nad I don't like it./
Also if 2019 tought us something, iot's that heavy racial inbalance in 1 tourney isn't a reason to change balance - e.g. ST1 with so many protosses.

Yeah his argument is stupid. Goal should be to keep the game relatively balanced, not to give each race their time to shine.
There have been issues in PvZ consistently for awhile now, it needs to be fixed. Terran has been looking strong since the map changes, worth keeping an eye on but since it's relatively recent and there's no dominant strategy that seems game breaking I think it's better to not have a huge knee jerk reaction right now, but definitely keep watching it.

I think it's fair to say since Zest plays a lot of online these days. I do think Aligulac favours online heroes in general but there are always exceptions to any rule. For example, INnoVation and Cure probably have been ranked higher than their true rank for multiple months (although now, I do think their aligulac rank closely corresponds to actual rank). There were also times where Showtime, Uthermal and Solar had very high elo but it did not really materialize into great results.

Maru won most of his GSLs on the back of Protoss butchering.
Maru got 1st map pick because he finished 2nd in his group. As if he needed the advantage

I love how Parting has a big speech for what his chances today are, while Maru is like ''He's doable',''

will we see at least one maxpax?

OK, so let's talk abalnce.
Point out where WC Dark lost to a balance issue
Point out where WC Rogue lost to a balance issue
Point out where the upcoming changes would make it worse for both reinging world champions.
Bonus points for pointing these things out on soO's games.

yeah there wasn't very much that was super new in terms of meta that TY did in the series.

Parting is extremely "doable" if you catch my drift
|
TY got build order wins/ big advantages in every game. You could argue that its because T favored meta is making Dark play extra risky or safe, but i don't see that going anywhere.
|
Not Aligulac's fault that there are separate player pools, every rating system would suffer from that (and even without region lock the covid online era would still be problematic in that regard).

Since 2018, Zest has been winning a lot of online events while not doing great offline. This year he looked very strong again(except that in the last week) but a lot of his Aligulac points come from online tournaments.
This statement has nothing to do with how relevant or successful Zest's career has been.
