i am only a observer of pro games, tons of pro games. i don't play anymore. so, i have no ladder frustration or something like that. terran is not too weak in my opinion. and, i got to be careful what i am saying now.
well we had that situation before. Tons of Terrans in CodeS many said Terran is OP, and a few Zergs battled their way through the masses and won it all. Which people didn't care about. It is just a ton of Protoss players that have alot of different styles, so preparing for them is hard. And if a Terran wins it only means that he had probably some sort of enlightenment against Protoss or that no one really trained XvT.
My bet is on a Zerg this season though.

even if better maps are introduced or balance patches come out soon™, it will still take months until the GSL becomes watchable again.

I would not count on much better Terran representation in next GSL. It's usually slow process.
well, just getting in 3 more terrans out of 32 spots vacant during code A would already double the terran representation and presence in code S. something like that should be doable....
ahah called it said they should do this everyone here already in code and one bo3 win to get into code s figured they do it now who to root for coca, gumiho, terrans in general, sleep good to but plz no more toss sorry stork
also wish they had dream vs stork and coca vs hack or something atleast giving terran a better chance
I think GuMiHo, Hack and Super/Vampire are the best chances, really hoping for GuMiHo. Really hoping for a Terran too though, not just for any balance reasons but because I enjoy watching all of the Terran matchups a lot more than ZvZ / PvP / ZvP. It will be a very sad gsl for me if these are the dominant matchups.
Going off how they looked in Code A, I think the three that are the most likely are BrAvO, Cure and ParalyzE. They're the ones who stick out to me as having played really well despite not making it.
If not them I'd prefer GuMiho for the NesTea award or Hack just because I think he's a strong player and can't imagine how silly he feels giving up a guaranteed spot in WCS AM Premier to just be stuck in Code B instead.

Yea because a zerg never won the GSL before those buffs...
