MLG? You mean MLG Winter, by any chance?
Also, provide me the name of players. They matter.

I don't disagree with the list. BUT

How many more tournaments do zerg have to get murdered in before we can see some fair changes? I watch a lot of games, almost all of them available to watch, and Im just tired of always watching zerg loose. They win some games, but so very few. I think this list kind of reflects that.


Do you watch WCS KR? Soulkey and Soo are in Ro4...



Yes I do, though I haven't watched it to the Ro4 yet for season 3. And just because there are like 3 or 4 VERY good zerg players that can win dispite the zerg sucking, doesn't mean that zerg aren't loosing most matches overall. I don't play, I just watch, and zerg loose most of the time in tournament.


It's funny how biased your writing is. if couple terran/protoss players are doing well = imbalance. but when couple zergs are doing fine = They so stronk to play bad race and still win!!!

Balance wise zergs are doing really good ZvP was a bit zerg favoured for some time now it is kinda even. ZvT, too is kinda even now even a bit zerg favoured because zerg players have learned to play against terran style. And please don't mention MMA 3-0 Nerchio and Vortix. Top tier terran player vs good, but not top tier zerg players it shouldn't be big surprise that MMA wins.

If terran player wins tournament it doesn't necessary mean game is imbalanced or some race is worse than other. Bomber winning wcs season 2 for example, He sure played really well but tbh last game against Scarlett should have gone Scarletts way if she had paid attention to minimap (she saw the scv going build barracks) if that happen we would have seen finals between JD and Scarlett/TaeJa and it might have gone waaaay different.




One Im not baiting. And two Im not trying to be biast, not intentionaly so.

Im not complaining because I saw a (in your words) a cupple of zergs loose to terren and protoss. Im bringing it up because most zerg loose out of hundreds of games. Again yes zerg can win, and I dont care what race wins a tournament. A tournament winner is just whoever is the best player at the time, or the luckyest, or somone who was on a hot streak. Whoever wins a tournamet, its because they are the best, reguarless of race.

I dont see Bommer or MMA win and then instantly think that zerg suck. They are both very good players and deserve to win. Im talking about in general overall, across all tournaments. I just watched maybe 30 games today, mostly the stuff on MLG. And right now zerg are 2-12 vs protoss. Most of the time watching WCS either Korea, or Europ, or America, in general zerg loose most of the time. Yes again there are some great zerg players who do very well, but if you look at the recent tournaments, if there is a zerg involved and its not playing another zerg, its most likely going to loose.


Did you check last balance stats ? Zerg are doing very well. Especially in korea. The lagging race for like 2 months is terran, even if they win like everything... Weird huh ?

No MLG summer and on, IEM DH and ESL are what Ive watched today. I have not watched any of WCS season 3 yet, I like to wait till its all over then watch it all at once. I don't really feel like going back to each video and making a list of the winners and loosers, I don't care that much.

And what stats are you going by, WCS points? Because if you understand how those points are distributed, its not a very reliable way of showing balance. Just like how Innovation can loose a lot of his most recent stuff, and still have almost double the points of anyone else.

Also I cant tell if your being sarcastic at the end there, but I never said terran wins everything, and I don't think they do. You don't seem to understand what Im commenting about.

I just want a game, where when I sit down to watch it, to not be able to guess who is going to win just by looking at their race. And be right most of the time. I want to see Terran, Protoss, and Zerg all win equaly. I want it to be a mystery. I don't want any race to dominate or suck.

(Also, why does the spellchecker on this website give me the spelling error for all three races of the game?)

Pretty good ranking. Taeja and Bomber have been on a tear as of late, so no surprise to see them put in the top 2 in this ranking. The only question will be if they can continue at this status. As the answer usually is, not necessarily. I'm surprised Flash isn't on there, but I guess it would make sense concerning that in the immediate past, he hasn't been thrashing as hard as usual.

Though winning a tournament is impressive, winning it against mostly foreigners and mostly Protoss is less so.

First: everyone goes by statistics on aligulac and those winrate reports, made by ChaosTerran monthly, that show that currently winrates in all MUs are withing 3% from being perfect.
Second: then you may watch Dear destroy the first rounds of open bracket at MLG summer, playing against masters league zergs, balance, huh.

I won't be joining that protest. You see, all this protesting gives a man a thirst. I'll be drinking an ice cold beer and reading the Power Rank instead.

New Power Rank, Make it happen:
I would say:
10: Rain
9: Trap (great run in WCS)
8: MMA (winning tournament convincingly)
7: PartinG (advancing from group of death)
6: Jaedong
5: Soulkey (3-0 Rain)
4: soO (Final?)
3: Maru (Great games, well played in game 1 and 2 against Dear etc.)
2: Dear (Obvious reasons)
1: TaeJa (Not seen much since Dreamhack, but that was in September too, so...)

Bomber not in there, coz in THIS MONTH he hasn't shown anythign xD
