Rogue's own IEM 2020 earnings are more than the total prize pool of a GSL season. | ||

We can also use aligulac balance report, that had terran lagging behind in summer 2020, protoss ahead of Z/T and Z in the middle ; it's a lot more even nowadays. I don't know though at which dates patches happened so maybe it's due to natural meta changes and not the patches themselves, idk. | ||

I don't know though at which dates patches happened so maybe it's due to natural meta changes and not the patches themselves, idk. Although my posts probably don't make this obvious, I actually think balance is in a pretty good place. My biggest issue right now is the longstanding problem of Protoss being a gimmicky race - a design problem, not a balance one. Just poking fun at Terran whiners because they whine all the freaking time lol. | ||

I think after that GSL they had a pretty bad streak of results as well from the two season finals in that time-frame being ZvP finals, Zerg dominating all other online events and then GSL S2 being a ZvP finals. Then after that string of results Zerg got nerfed even more and I haven't seen much Terran whine since then. | ||

Top 10 Terrans have have made a lot more money than Top 10 Protoss. Not sure how you are arriving at your numbers. Hint read the table again. | ||

Hint read the table again. Top 10 terrans have won 728k$, according to liquipedia, and protoss top 10 777k$, in year 2020. Maybe you are thinking of terrans among top 10 versus protoss among top 10. In this case terran won more indeed, 298k$ with 4 players while Protoss won 237k$ with 3, and Zerg leading with 311k$ with 3 players. I was looking for top 10 or 20 of each race because 10 players kor+for is a low sample size, and I found the top 10 by race. | ||

Terrans in total have earned 728k and toss total 777k only the top 10 is different (terrans have more), which kinda makes sense as toss filled the lower regions of tournaments but performed worse at the top (also regions like tw are pretty toss heavy e.g). | ||

How many protoss players made that much or more? | ||

So it’s top 10 Protoss won 445k$, terran top 10 527k$, zerg top 10 627k$. Either way I don’t see that as proof that Terran outclassed zergs because of their supposed whines. | ||
