You'd think with all the balance whining that's going on everywhere, Zergs would dominate the qualifiers. Final tally:

9 Protoss, 6 Terran, 7 Zerg, seems balanced to me.

But maybe people are missing those days when 2 Terrans would qualify for every Zerg that made it.

Poor Jjakji never getting the credit he deserves for being a Code S champion.


While it's true he did a REALLY poor job backing it up though, so can't really blame anyone else.

Balance has always been about the top level of play (Code S). That is why foreign terrans has always suffer because the game is balanced for the top korean terrans.

Get off his back. His situation is a lot different then most champions.

And its not like Life was able to even get into code S on Zenex, a similar situation to jjakji.

I hope he finds a good team that can send him to foreigner events

If you took 5 seconds to look at the bracket you'd see less Z signed up.
Those who signed up, exclude all the forfeits, did really well

The best of best protosses also complain they can barely beat zerg.

Of course they complain in these interviews because the interviewee always asks if they are frustrated with Zerg. I am sure most pro gamers are frustrated about something in the game and if you ask them about it they will tell you.


Notice how they don't ask Protoss whether they have problems with Terrans. Obviously, these questions are asked because it is a hot topic with the Korean sc2 community as well. As were things like the 1-1-1, etc.

And what about questions regarding who they don't want to face? A lot of the answers have been they don't want to face zergs.

Most people who complain about Zerg are aiming their hatred towards infesters. And most of those people would be happy to have Zerg buffed in other areas to compensate such as hydralisks.

And yet they never mention the last part in any of the "nerf zerg threads"
Let's be honest, most whiners want infestors to be useless and zergs to vanish completely...
Proof? just read the rock thread above this.

You are being ridiculous. There'd need to be a whole lot of nerfing going on for the Infestor to be useless. If you can't recognize that Zerg is the strongest race atm or at least too strong in ZvT, then you need to watch more SC2.
