Yes, kinda of like Terran being balanced around Taeja and MVP when Taeja seemed to be dominating vs Zerg and everybody else was struggling asking for buffs. | ||

Uh...if any of those were actually in TLPD I guess you'd have a point. As far as I know, mid masters players don't compete in big tournaments. | ||

Basically Creator goes on a tear winning WCS and TSL4, and Seed and MC are in the GSL Finals and now Protoss isn't weak? Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Yeah, me and every Korean interviewer apparently. The most common question in interviews lately has been "Protoss is really dominant lately, why do you think that is". And the players all seemed to agree, but they have small minds too, right?  | ||

There's a world of difference between 'X race is dominant lately' and 'X race is OP'. BW went through this over and over as new maps/builds/players just performing well sent one race into dominant position for awhile. | ||

If one race is doing better at international and other is doing better at Korea level that says more about meta-game and skill than balance. | ||

You only have to look at the top for balance, the rest does not matter. Yea your average joe might be getting stomped as race x but if said race is doing well at the top then the problem does not lie with the race but with the player. | ||

Yeah, this was the case with TvZ for quite a while: really bad internationally, balanced in Korea; now it's balanced internationally as well. Anyway, waiting on the Korean stats, I got a feeling PvZ will look quite ugly in P's favor. | ||

Everyone used to think that the world was flat too. But then we learned it wasn't. Math changes things. Opinions and erroneous hunches mean nothing. Statistical data does. I cannot comment on whether or not they have small minds, since I don't know how easily their mind is boggled when presented with data that contradicts an opinions or erroneous hunch. | ||

ZvT 51.1% That's almost exactly where it was before the patch. Just because you notice people dropping maps to random players more often doesn't mean it's more common. | ||
