Makes me sad. I play terran, I want to see some terran in gsl .
Ty Flash and Maru are doing well in proleague. Rest of terran are meh.
I bet they'll find some way to give the last spot to a Terran. My bet is on INnoVation as the player in Code A who had the most WCS points last year out of players in Korea. Though frankly they really should have filled this spot prior to Code A and given INnoVation's Code A spot to someone else.
Or maybe they'll just hold a tournament and Terran fans will be fully rejuvenated when TheBest wins it with YOLOSWAG420 three-port banshee rushes.
Also can't underestimate how many top Korean Terrans (compared to other races) have moved to NA/EU. Mvp. MMA. Bomber. TaeJa. Polt. jjakji. Compared to that only a few Code-S level Zerg/Protoss have left. This is not an accident of course--except for jjakji, the players who've left have huge international recognition, and the reason they do is because they were at the forefront of Terran domination of SC2 from its inception until Fall of 2012 or so.

Blizzard did the same thing they did in WoL, nerf Terran too much and give Zerg/Protoss buffs they didn't need resulting in a game where only a tiny number of elite Korean Terrans remain competitive. Except this time Protoss also has an edge in TvP, so we're seeing Terrans disappear altogether.

I would be interested to see the active accounts this month and where the terrans are headed?
yeah but to be fair there were never really any good EU terrans outside Happy, Kas and Luci.
And ThorZaIN! But yeah, top Terrans in EU have historically been a practically extinct species. If anything we probably had inflated numbers of Terrans in WCS EU last year because of how OP Hellbats were for about half of the year.
TY, Flash, and Maru are currently top 3 for wins (w/l ratio) with TY 7-0 (no losses yet!). Too bad it's the complete opposite in GSL!
Speaking of TY, he's not even in GSL right now (not in code A or S). It'd be pretty funny if he managed to get most wins in PL but never even gets to code S!
Also, many of the best Terrans are in other WCS'. (MMA, Mvp, Taeja, Bomber, Jjakji, Polt). Though, it's ALSO worth noting that there are currently only two foreigner Terrans in WCS EU and AM (combined). There are still a few more to be played, so I'd expect to see one or two more foreign Terrans to each league, along with a couple Koreans.
Wow, i never thought gsl would be the most boring tournament to watch out of the three regions. NA looks like it is going to be sick and haven't seen the full line up for eu yet but have seen some great players there as well and already is more interesting to watch than gsl. GG gsl.

Hard for TY to get most wins, as he is not the ace on his team and there are no more AK rounds anymore, so he will have less chances to get games.
