EPTKorean tournaments won by race since 2019:
Protoss: 1 (Classic)
Terran: 3(Maru, Maru, TY)
Zerg: 5 (Dark x2, Roguex2, Serralx1)
Doing better than both races combined, not too bad either.

And shorter rush distances. With creep maphack all pushes are telegraphed well in advance, leaving ample time to set up perfect flanks. There should be more of a surprise factor to attacks, kind of like runbys, so there is more of a shit hits the fan management component to the battles. Could possibly make it more interesting. | ||

Maybe she has recently, but the last few weeks she certainly practised mostly brood war. Otherwise she wouldn't have won those showmatches that were played not long ago. | ||

Are you only including foreigners with this statement? Korean Zergs have had an amazing last 3 years. Even with foreigners it's not completely accurate. Elazer made the finals of GSL vs The World last year. While his bracket wasn't super impressive in terms of prestige of the event itself I'd argue that's the best result of any foreigner not named Serral or Reynor in the last 3 years. Then you have Scarlett winning that IEM event in 2018 which is probably the next best result for a foreigner after that. | ||

Really depressing following the foreigner scene with 3 races but only one wins. Maybe tournaments need three number one places with shared prize money. One for each race. | ||

Clem is an amazing player but his TvT and even TvP is much less consistent than Reynor's. Clem's multitasking is insane and his TvZ is incredible- I firmly believe that he's the only terran at the moment who can stand up to Reynor or Serral in a series. But I don't see Reynor losing to Gerald 2-0, and his consistency past all matchups just proves that he was the better player this tournament. Close series, all the games were sick and ggwp to the both of them! | ||

Yeah pocket bases, especially those that are quite harassable, are one map feature that's quite bad for zerg generally (though the gameplay it leads to is so and so). 16-bit, Honorgrounds are some of the worst macro maps for zerg. You could also try to hamper taking the third early--an obvious idea would be to put unbuildable plates at the third base location for example. But getting stuff like that past the Zerg player judges of the TLMC is really difficult. They always choose the most standard maps possible, and the current standard is good for zerg. | ||

For Masters Fall: I see In Latin America a Terran has won I see in China Division a Terran has won I see in TW Division a Protoss has won I see in Ocenania a Protoss ha won I see in North America a protoss is in UB final I see in europe a Zerg has won. So in the foreigner scene only zergs win? Really i can't understand. | ||

I am guessing that you're joking but honestly this sounds like an interesting idea. Prize money and results standardized to you race. You will strive to be the best of your race and will be duly celebrated for performing better than your companions, but will not be punished for not playing the race favoured by the meta. | ||

That was - however - just a few months later than the Neeb victory in late 2017 (last non-Korean tournament 2017 vs. 2nd non-Korean tournament 2018). And since that tournament, Showtime was in a final once and lost to Serral, Mana was in a final once and lost to Serral, Has was in a final once and lost to Serral, Special was in a final once and lost to Serral, Elazer was in a final once and lost to Serral. No other Zerg ever reached te finals. And yes, I'm excluding the Korean tournaments, because there are definitely some non-Zerg winners in Korean tournaments. Probably even more Terran winners than Zerg winners in the comparable timespan (beginning of 2018 to today). edit: it's actually completely even in terms of Korean championships between Zerg and Terran. | ||
