Lol what happened to "Terran isn't OP, the best players in the world just happen to play Terran." Sounds funny in retrospect.
That said... I won't get into balance arguing here. Really looking forward to Code S starting again.
Pretty sure there was some truth to that statement (and the same could be said now most likely, I dont follow the game enough anymore to say, but I'd imagine that some of the players with the current strongest form are Protoss, all balance aside).

That's a very important point. I wish vetoes were possible... Anyone knows about it ?

A is really not the strongest group imo. Rain and herO not doing so well recently, Solar is good lately but he is still not considered as one of the favorites. Groups like D are much more impressive to me.

I am pretty sure Bbyong is not gonna go through. Even if T were strong, I don't think he is good enough.

The anti-imbalance movement has gone too far.
It's the TeamLiquid "We'll bear broodlords and infestors for a year if we have to" moderation policy. The game is ALWAYS balanced, don't forget it.

Bandwith costs. With the way they did before (streaming it from their own servers) they had to pay for every user watching the stream cause they need to send it to that user aka bandwith is getting used. With the current system they only need to send it to 1 place, the twitch servers and from there people watch it and twitch is the one paying all the bandwith.
I never thought Id actually be disappointed to see so few terrans in Code S, but potentially having PvZ and mirror matches only from Ro16 on doesnt sound that great.
Group A: Rain herO Group B: Supernova Zest (honestly I can't read this one) Group C: sOs soO Group D: Soulkey Squirtle (have a feeling Sora not making it through) Group E: Parting TRUE Group F: Maru Classic Group G: Dear Life Group H: RorO and I Don't Know (all of the other three are doing really well recently but I'll be safe and pick Curious)

Yeah indeed.
Although I guess we should be getting used to having less terrans than protosses and zergs in GSL nowadays. It's not JUST about balance, it is also about more protosses and zergs being active in Korean scene overall - in the whole WCS KR ecosystem, there was 42 terrans, 48 zergs and 54 protosses (this is counting in also the amateurs trying to qualify for WCS KR and the players already qualified via last season).
Also on Proleague team rosters, there is 80 players and 32 out of that are protosses, 21 terrans and 27 zergs. With that low amount of players, even that is significant enough.
Couple that with the fact that some of the best terran players are just not playing in either WCS KR or Proleague (Bomber, Polt, Taeja, Yoda etc) and it dosn't bode so well with terran representation even in next seasons (assuming Blizz will somehow manage to create a patch that changes the early game PvT to be balanced).
