It'll stop when Protoss wins tournaments.

And we care about those as much as we always have.

Quite the opposite. The only reason you're pretending to care now is because you need it to build to your conclusion. Nobody's cared about low prestige tournaments in eleven years, and nobody still cares today except when needed to pretend Protoss is doing fine.

See how many time these tier 2 tournaments were brought up in the GOAT arguments earlier in this thread to see for yourself.

I have no motive to pretend Protoss is fine when it isn't, actually I'm a fan of a lot of their players.
I just think it's kinda weird to complain that they don't win a specific kind of tournament.
Unless you claim that Zergs and Terrans take it easy in tier 2 tournaments, the conclusion should be that it's just a weird coincidence they don't win tier 1 ones. They actually reached the finals of tier 1 tournaments often so according to you the Protoss imbalance only activates once a Protoss reaches the final of a tier 1 tournament?

No statistic except the winrate of them at tier 1 tournament finals supports the claim that they're underpowered.

Only possible comparison is Innovations 27-3 TvZ streak in 2013. There Innovation literally almost never lost maps

Try the end of next year, and more likely after the following IEM.

I'm not gonna double-check that, because even if the only statistic that supports the claim that Protoss is underpowered is that they don't win any important tournaments, that is completely sufficient since that is the entire point of competitive StarCraft. I don't care at all how well they perform in irrelevant statistics.
I bear this sig to commemorate the loss of the team icon that commemorated Oversky's 2008-2009 Proleague Round 1 performance.

Zest in PvP in 2014 didn't have the same winrate but had way more competition because 2014 was the year of toss.
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

no macro TvZ loss in half a year if I remember correctly. Only some losses to Roach Bane allins.

Some roach bane allins lead to some pretty historic losses tho

thats NBA-like cherry picking stats.

"most dunks in the season games 24-39 when the sun was shining and playing at home"

I think if you want to talk dominance and winrates, there is no picking "macro games" etc. No offence obviously but a loss is a loss. You can make any player look dominant if you pick the stats your way ^^

IIRC Stats had like 20 PvP wins in a row some years back and Trap had 95% PvT win rate.

yeah then agree to disagree. I don't think it's a balance problem if they are doing fine in everything except that.
