Your stats seem a little off to me there old chap.

It is a lot of things, but I think Koreans are far more willing to shamelessly all-in to crush their opponent. That sort of playstyle helps keep a lot of the greed that NA players are complaining about in check. If you look at BWC, Parting ripped through Zergs using a super refined all-in, which clearly took hundreds of hours of practice to prefect. The first thing that happens after his win, a 25 page thread started by a professional player about the problems with force fields.
Some Koreans may whine about balance, but the mind set that peopel talk about is simply: "When you lose, it is your fault."

I think it has more to do with the skill difference between Koreans and non-Koreans. Terran has the best harassment options and and a top quality player can really do amazing damage with the tools Terran has on offer while macroing flawlessly behind it all, may be difficult to perform but skilled guys playing full-time can erally get into it.
Would be nice if all the races had a similar difficulty level but sadly its not the case, best except it though as I think not alot is going to change in hots in this aspect.

They were a little, but these are the states from the wiki (GSL Results): There are some very obvious issues with Z at the moment, but Zerg has performed less than both protoss and Terran over-all, Korean-Terrans netting mroe than double the amount of top-3 finishes than both zerg and Protoss.

I feel like if he thought he could nerf it he would. I mean what do you nerf to deal with sentry immortal all in exactly becaue each piece is sort of important in different parts of both that match up and other matchups.

Even korean terrans are losing now =/
Indeed with today's GSL results, yet another Terran gets knocked out of Code S!!!

More like a year of domination for both races overall. Open your damn eyes and remember we have 1 GSL in the time we had 3 before.
I also don't know if it's just that recently interviews are better, or dustin and david are aware of all the rage lately, and are trying to be more detailed and clear and informative in their answers
but anyways, really love how I feel like I'm getting much more "information"
Perhaps it's because recently the questions are more about the balance and design, rather than features like "when is X coming"
Anyways, awesome answers dustin, and thanks for the interview
i'm getting so hyped for the patch changes grrr lol

To be honest, I think the interviewers are just asking better questions. Props to monk.

You choosing to inlude 3rd and 4th place finishes is a bit arbitrary. But I guess if you want to make it look like P is doing better than Z then you'd do that. As P I'd argue that only 1st place finishes matter and that Z and T have been doing fine historically, but that'd you'd need to buff P lol.
Disclaimer: I'm not being serious, I'm rather saying these numbers don't say a lot. Meta game is changing so fast anyways, that it doesn't make much sense to look at numbers older than a season or so.
Awesome interview! This was the first time I'd seen monk. give an interview. Really enjoyed the specific questions and the pacing DB giving honest answers as always. Right?

And another goes through... because that's what happens in TvT
Awesome job on the interview, man. Really solid and knowledgeable. Mr Browder did a great job answering the questions in depth and being open to feedback, too. Overall awesome dialogue. One thing I hoped you would have asked him about in terms of design philosophy is the anti-micro nature of many units, and the lack of cool micro potential that currently exists, especially in new units like the Hellbat. I'd like to see that in a future interview.
