Fact remains that Terrans in Code S is decreasing. | ||

The only bad things Ive heard about him is his casting, which, even he admits needs some polish. But yeah Im glad we got a re-schedule for today :-) Edit: to the above post. OMG ZERG UNDERPOWERED. This next patch better be all about us! | ||

Fact remains that Terrans in Code S is decreasing. Well, there's something that people are neglecting here: those terrans who fall out of code S go down to code A, but might just play their way right back into code S in the same season. Until the season ends and we see what next season's brackets are going to look like, we can't know who fell out and who moved up, due to the new format. | ||

It's still going to be proportionally too many terran next season which could have been made in the other way when protoss were falling. Despite what I wrote I think there is too much terrans in code S, I'm just pointing the absurd discussions. People are using the same arguments now that they fought 1 month ago when the races were reversed. It seems people are lobbying for a race, keeping logic out of the way. Same business in balance discussions. | ||

Same business in balance discussions. I agree totally, but the second quote is correct :-/ we wont know until the season is over with the new format since if you fall out of Code S now its totally different than before. Some terrans might drop to B in 1 season, some might stay S, some might go to code A. You actually dont know the total distribution of races in code S till the end of the season... especially with this new format. If you want to just look at who advanced thats fine but what he said was accurate :-/ Or the first quote, w/e you know what one im talking about lol. | ||

It's still going to be proportionally too many terran next season so if we can throw out "bad" terrans and say they moving down doesnt count we can also say that bomber, mvp mma are better than any protoss player that plays the game at the moment, so they dont count in the list of who stays up. you can caveat the list however you want. the point is that with a format change the terran dominance is ending without any major patch changes. the game clearly needs more time before imbalance whine based on gsl holds much weight | ||

If every terran lost every single non-mirror matchup until the balance of players in Code S is 33/33/33%, is that balanced? No, Clearly the XvT matchup favours X. In a perfectly balanced scenario, on average the amount of players of each race will stay EXACTLY THE SAME as it was previously. If more protoss and zerg suddenly appear in code s, that's because the non-code-s p and z are winning more games than the non-code-s terrans, which is either because they're better players or the race is "better". I'm not trying to say anything other than terran still being an overwhelming factor isn't a sign that terran is still an "easier" or "better" race, rather, it's a sign that previously there were a lot of terrans so those guys have a reasonable chance of staying around in the top of the leagues, all other things being equal. | ||

Yep, I agree with the second part of the quote, I was talking about this. "The terrans falling are mediocre and don't deserve code S anyway." I'm sure the guy who wrote that would argue with me if I said "The protoss falling are mediocre and don't deserve code S anyway.". Which was a common argument some time ago. | ||

Fact remains that Terrans in Code S is decreasing. It still genuinely amazes and fascinates me that people don't understand that the Ro32 of the GSL is determined by previous seasons. There are more terrans in the Ro16 because there were more terrans in the Ro32. There were more terrans in the Ro32 because in seasons past terran was dominating and the wonky format meant that it was incredibly difficult for them ever to drop down to Code A. Almost no matter what, there were going to be more terrans than z or p in the Ro16. It's real fucking simple. :/ | ||

I'm sure the guy who wrote that would argue with me if I said "The protoss falling are mediocre and don't deserve code S anyway.". Which was a common argument some time ago. No I would say that some of the protoss who fell were mediocre (HongUn, Genius, Tester). But the fact is while they left a lot of not so good terran were able to hold on because frankly terran was and probably is better. Call it imbalance or the meta game it doesn't matter, the fact is is that terran has been objectively better than toss (at the highest level) the last few months and mediocre terrans were able to hold on. It will probably now shift a little, but terran dominance will probably continue for a couple more seasons at least.

Before posting, can't you just take a glance over to the right bar and see for yourself something that says 1h 28m SOTG: EP56? I mean, I don't want to offend you or anything, but why don't you just look over? | ||
