These guys play dozens of games everyday, i don't think they take such an efficency hit by having to play a couple more games. The true problem could be the schedule, but at this point they should all be prepared for it. Offline competition is just around the corner and should end these scheduling concerns once and for all. As for Protoss, give up on it. Its a race meant to abuse ladder with cheeses that are good for one game or to turtle and punish players who can't keep the pressure on. Neither of theses things happen at pro games. Protoss being redesigned into a tournament winning race is what we can hope for SC3, for now it will rightfully stay in the trash where it belongs as a cheese race. | ||

Now they are even dropping out of low tier tournaments, it's depressing to see. Dont worry, Super Tournament is around the corner, we will see another Ro4 full of Toss, that has been the Protoss consolation prize for almost a year already. | ||

Clem got the timing so much better with the Mine/Tanks vs Lingbane/HydraLurker interaction. In the end, Clem Mines and Ghost are too strong for Serral Lingbane/Lurker composition. Wonder if BLord Infestor would be better, or mixing in more Roach opening. If I remember correctly he did go for some Roach builds in the winner bracket vs Clem and still lost 3:2. Clem was just a tiny bit better today going 6:4 overall. Two weeks ago Serral won 6:2 It's just daily form | ||

Protoss is still the highest earning race in 2021 (  Winnings/2021), so I would not really worry about them.Clem was on fire yesterday, well deserved win! ByuN had a great run and funnily still doesn’t lose to Zest. | ||

It used to be depressing but at some point it just became helpful, the game doesn't have many years left, I'm happy that I'm no longer as invested into what happens. There's an occasional good day that you can save. First day of this tournament had Reynor Neeb and Clem Maxpax, that's pretty good. | ||

At least that's what I think of as Tier 1. They are a clear step more difficult and pay significantly more than any other tournaments. Liquipedia's premier and major distinctions are far too broad. | ||

I mean, WCS NA as premier, really? | ||

I can understand that you can argue for protoss doing good with the 5 wins of trap and esp their super tournament performance but the NA in there is just shameless agenda pushing. | ||

You two just look what he is quoting, the protoss fanboy clearly states "not a single premier in 4 years", "not even low tier tournaments" and then the answer is a list with a mixture of tournaments this year, which falsifies the argument and you have no other idea than to jump in this one Na bullet point? | ||
