For that reason alone, the statistics here can't be trusted to make the point that terran is underpowered.

The question seems to be:

Do we balance for Korean or foreign terrans?

Everyone already knows the answer to this question even if they don't like the answer.

You always balance for the highest level.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but havn't the only major tournaments that have been won by a foreign terran been won by the same player, Thorzain. The gap between a foreign terran winning a major tournament was from TSL 3 until recently when Thorzain won Dreamhack. So I don't quite understand how this is a surprise. Foreigner Terrans have had little to no dominance in sc2 and when the only major tournaments are won by the same player with a dry spot of over a year, why would someone expect a foreign pro who wants to actually win tournaments to play terran, hence them being underrepresented (unless they want to move to korea and train there).

Not all players go by the rule " I want to play the race that win the more. ", so it don't really explain why we have litteraly ZERO Up & Coming Terran players in the foreigner scene. :/

I mean.. there has to be some players who we don't know about who are good terrans, right ? ...

See, Zerg and Protoss whine was never this sophisticated. This is yet more proof that Terran domination was simply because we're more intelligent. Sadly, even our superior intellect isn't helping us when we're given a rubber knife to fight against assault shotguns.

You could maybe make a case that the game isn't balanced in the semi-pro/foreign scene, but it would be difficult to make a case that Terran is unfairly bad at the highest levels when Taeja is dominating everyone in astounding fashion right now. I also think that we will see a trend of top korean pro terrans continuing to do better as long as Taeja's dominance continues.

Thats the thing...not being able to play at the caliber of Taeja is NOT an excuse. Its the Pro's job to train hard to become equivalent if not better. Similarly there is a good reason why Koreans consistently out-perform foreigners in every single tournament. Koreans aren't born better at SC2, their genetics dont make them better at SC2, its simply their training regiment and work ethic.

Its this kind of attitude why foreigners have already lost before the game even begins. Saying things like "not everyone can be like Taeja". Taeja is human just like everyone else, and if he can do it then anyone can despite their skin color. All you need is the will and determination to do so and the results will come.
