Besides GSTL, TSL4 had their Korean qualifiers yesterday. Again, it is one tournament but it doesn't look good for Terrans in Korea at the moment. 2/16 in ro16 and 1/8 in Ro8. Zergs were 10/16 and 6/8.
Top players were missing from each race
Protoss : MC, Genius, HerO Terrans : MVP, Taeja Zergs : DRG, Nestea
Some results from Ro32/Ro16 - Annyeong 2-1 Jjajki, Miya 2-0 Maru, Byul 2-0 MKP. MMA, GKP, aLIve, Keen all did not make Ro32 so not sure who that lost to. So it seems terrans have to figure some counters.

wow cool, genius wants to come to foreign tournaments :D someone pick him up soon

the entire wings of liberty balance has been based on the fact that any foreigner who ever stood a chance against a korean has either been zerg or protoss. therefore in order for white guys to stand a chance and for anyone to care about e-sprots, they had to make these races good. Thorzain is one small exception, no other terran foreigner can consistently compete at a code s level. naniwa and huk would not be where they are today if it wasn't for the race they play. fact. Blizzard knows that nobody gives a shit about this game in korea and I bet they realized the foreigner fan base was the only hope. What better way to keep foreigner attention when korean's start to dominate. nerf the race that the best koreans play and buff the ones that the top foreigners were playing.
Clearly buffing queen's this much creates a spiral effect that not only improves zerg's early game but translates into an even better then it already was lategame. I have followed this scene since day one. I am no longer willing to play or follow a game that rewards which race you pick rather then skill.

conspiracy theory: blizzard management wanted the general public to get hyped for HOTS so they buffed zerg to get the lower level players to switch to Zerg and thus be more excited for HOTS

The more I watch games the more I believe that MVP is correct.
I also agree with MKP that foreign Terrans aren't showing results because of the race they picked. I'm not saying it is impossible to win, but it's very hard to stay consistent.
I am not even a Terran player, so don't call me biased.

heh even if mkp hadn't said that I agree with it. Terran requires more apm/multi tasking/micro then zerg/protoss. It's a lot harder to play terran at a high korean level due to having to do a lot of splitting, macro, micro and dropping. Terrans just harder to get super gosu with which koreans excell at multitasking/micro/macro and all that so yeah in general I do agree with mkp

MVP is an incredible player. But possibly full of shit.
So there was this patch. You might have heard of it...

Very eye opening interview from MVP, you can tell he is really saddened that he had to take out his teammate.
|
This is getting ridiculous, a interview and the balance whine starts all over again. Goodness. First there was the gstl where zergs were crushing and people were saying zergs will crush GSL, what happens? Up till now only nestea goes through. Now there is a interview and it starts all over again. This is so funny, its like there are people around who live just to whine about balance.

MVP telling the truth like a BOUSE! Buff terran plz :D
|
Am I the only one that thinks the queen buff was good, but the overlord buff was way better??
I mean, if a race is "UP," you don't just give a single, non-combat (go with me here) support unit 2 extra range and make it all of a sudden drastically "OP." I get that small changes have big impacts, but c'mon.
There is a faster-than-ever-before overlord in the corner of a map somewhere - hiding in the shadows, smiling.

MVP is an incredible player. But possibly full of shit. I support this sentiment. IMMVP was whining about balance since last year, when Terrans won almost every tournament. There's no way to satisfy this guy! Keep in mind, when Terran was dominating, Protoss and Zerg players played very differently. Protoss was known for 1-2 base play, and up until recently, never went for late game vs Terran. Zergs have started implementing infestors into their play much more, and supporting their T3 with transfuses and simply dominating. Ya, there were some issues with 1-1-1, and 2 rax, that got addressed. Now Terran wants Blizzard to address the problems we're having. Lets not forget the nearly 30 game win streak Zerg achieved in the GSTL this season. Or the pros such as MKP, MVP, etc acknowledging the situation.
The time of 1-2 base timings were long, long ago. And infestors have been used for half a year now too. Zerg is dominating only since the patch.

lol what? This is exactly the argument I pointed out. "and suddenly op" No, it wasnt sudden, it has been this way for a long time and it just keeps getting worse. The only reason it does not seem that way is that some of the top pro Terrans are just so friggin good that they can still win. 99% of Terrans (at least the ones that still play) have been struggling in both non mirror match ups for a LOOOONG time. It hasnt been just one patch, its been about a dozen, coupled with larger maps, the metagame developing (figuring out terran timings, early aggression, etc) and several other factors that has made Terran all but impossible to play competitively unless you are a pro.

At best, it's just game designers making rash/poor decisions, as they sometimes did with WoL.

If MVP wins 10 seasons will they still call it the Nestea award? Will they name milestone awards after the first player to reach them? I think it would be both hilarious and kinda cool.
