Premier titles of 2021 of the top players: Trap - 5 Serral - 3 Dark - 2 Rogue - 2 Reynor -2 Maru 1 (2 with KoB) WHAT A DOMINATION!!!! Maru is just unstoppable!  How does he do it? | ||

There are about nine players who collectively are 99.9% favored to win any tournament they enter. They are Serral, Rogue, Dark, Reynor, Maru, Cure, Clem, Zest, Trap. Between these players I don't think there is ever a balance problem and they regularly trade series and games. The problem isn't balance, it's that there are just more good Zerg players because of how military service played out (Stats gone, Innovation & TY gone). Who are the top S-tier zergs that went to military service - none really. I don't know if this is too provocative but that's what I'll say. | ||

Did you like forget soO? oO Edit> Also I dare to say that Cure, Zest and Clem are nowhere near to be such favorites. Especially Clem who still has to prove on the international scene IMO. Like don't get me wrong, these players are not bad, but are not as reliable as the rest. Which are 4 Z 1 T and 1 P. What a time we live in | ||

I feel like Zest and Trap lose more vs the top Zergs than they win though. Especially in bo5+ | ||

What a time we live in I agree but he still has a point with the military departures. soO also was the least impressive of the Zergs at the time of his departure. the Katowice run was a complete miracle for him | ||

Or was it the Classic thread? One of these. It wasn't hard to predict the future will be dark. Edit> if you count in Clem and Cure in their current form, soO has a place there! | ||

While I dont mind seeing TvZ all day, its just a damn shame to see 3-4 Zerg ganging up on a Terran deep into the tournament. Thats why I need to see Clem getting his top TvZ back and start dropping down on Zerg again, but he seems to be in a limbo of how to deal with anything outside of lingbane opening. As for Protoss, its aint happening against top Zergs with proper scouting and defend from them, | ||
