Dream and DRG in the playoffs. Maru and Dark out. Can't say I expected that.

What makes you think Zerg still is?
Broodlords and Infestors were nerfed, the buff to lurkers is minor compared to those.
Queens, banelings and creep tumors were nerfed.
There are less Zerg favored maps even if more than there were last season.
Those changes were effective and it shows.
Have you watched the last two seasons of Code S?
Have you looked at the racial distribution in the last tournaments?
Protoss have needed buffs for almost one year and ZvP is still not balanced but Terrans seem to have the upper hand against Zerg or, at least, are easily capable of holding their own.

A perfect example of terran whiner. Let me guess, we should remove banelings from the game next?

Yes.
#BaneLivesMatter
On a serious note, it would be interesting to do a 'fun' poll between the pros: "If you had the power to remove a single unit from the other two races, what would it be and why?"
Makes an interesting TL poll too.
Imagine if SC2 tourney had a 'veto' unit function before every game. In a series, a unit can only be banned once.

Just remove the enemy workers. Terran wins.

It has a steady 55% winrate against Protoss at worst. Banelings and Queens have been nerfed into the ground. In the ground? Yeah that -1 AA range and the bit less dmg to light seems to be really hurting them..
Creep was nerf three times (spread slower, tumor can't be cancelled and + light tag), and transfusion was aslo nerfed.

It's very off topic, but do you actually think that banelings are fine how they are right now?

I honestly don't see what the problem is with balance right now.
GSL race split seems fine to me. Sure banelings are useful in every matchup. So are other units.
We'll probably end up with 3 P/ 4 T/ 1 Z for a change. But we know Zerg is not weak since Serral and Reynor keep destroying

Do you think that PvZ is a balanced match up?

no, they are too weak after the nerf. Only Reynor and Serral can still do something with them.

Maru won 4 GSLs in a row at a time when Terran was generally struggling. Serral keeps winning both when Zerg was strong and now after nerfs. Both Serral and Maru are obviously great because they don’t need their race to be strong to stand out. Well, maybe not today’s Maru, but he’s always been weak to his teammates. Watching Maru vs Trap was like watching him vs sOs, Trap seemed to have his number.
I’m glad we didn’t get Serral vs Maru for DreamHack Summer Season Finals. It would’ve been so disappointing to see Serral 3-0 Maru after all the build up over 2 years.

I think it's mostly about the maps, but PvZ still seems pretty Zerg favoured. If Protoss doesn't win with an adept all in or some wonky timing, chances are, the Z just stomps them.
It's by far the worst matchup in the game right now, both to play and to watch. Protoss can't compete with hive tech so every game ends with some sort of all-in variation.

Yeah, but all other matchups (including ALL 3 mirrors) are pretty damn good right now.

Man he just dismantled Maru, wasn’t expecting that in game 2. Game 1 was a bit of trickery but he played a really solid game there in the second.
Happy for Dream, really intriguing Ro8 shaping up.

Damn that just wasn't Maru's day. You could tell something was off when he had a bunch of his scv's right clicked on a tank.

Yea they need a buff imo

Don't burn me for saying this, but I just get this feeling that jinair decides a winner of the match or maru throws games or something. I feel like he is way better than this and he is either not trying or there's some funky business goin on.
Not even a huge maru fanboy. But cmon.
