Only zerg that advanced was from a 3 zergs group. If Serral didnt exist, it would be clear which race is struggling by looking at ladder on every server, GSL, and every ESL cups, and every tournaments.
I find it crazy that SC2 is the only game where almost nobody plays the *best* faction, and everyone plays the *weak* faction. Way to use ONE single data point to make your point while dis-regarding the rest of them, being Zerg still win championship when Serral not winning it. I mean...Zerg was also the least represented race at Katowice. I wouldn't say Zerg is particularly weak right now, but there is definetly some drainage going on, with Reynor and Solar slumping and Dark also not looking too hot (probably because of his impending military service?) But I would atleast conclude that the entire "omg Zerg so OP needs like 300 nerfs immediately"-whines right after Katowice might be a tad overexaggerated I don't think Zerg needs to be nerfed, but I DEFINITELY don't think Zerg needs to be buffed indirectly by nerfing the shit out of Cyclones and Widow Mines. Also tournaments NEED to do a better job of keeping blatantly Zerg favored maps out of the map pool. Maps like Ratushet Station and Pride of Aldaris should NEVER find their way into any tournament with real stakes. Those maps are so obviously Zerg favored just by their sheer concept, and yet somehow these blatantly favored maps keep finding their way into high stakes tournaments. That's not acceptable and tournaments can and should do better. According to Liquipedia, Zerg has negative stats on Radhuset Station though? Like only a slight positive against Terran (~52%), but kind of bad against Protoss (~45%)
And that is correct, Protoss love that map against Zerg and even Terran. And while 52% is not a big deal, we all watch the games and realize the major issue with it, and with not too many games played on that map a few outliers could really change the ratio there.
Btw, base on liquidpedia, Terran has bad winrate in TvZ for Equilibrium, Golden Aura, Site Delta and Solaris (45% or below), with Hecate being the best TvZ map at 56%, followed by Ocean Born and Alcyone (52%).
