No, David Kim is going to win this, and Terran (and Zerg) are going to say "Bitch please".

So, we vote for whoever is going to represent each race? Gonna vote for oov.

Leaving out Mantoss, July and NaDa were pretty good early on in SCII, just not like what I've seen from 2004 vods. Twas before my time :,(.

Why did you have to kill the fun and make it actual balance whine

the way TY and Flash have been killing proleague, it might well be a Terran win...

That is a pretty sick banner! Looking forward to this 
Sad Rain couldn't play for Protoss

They might have to allocate a third day to PvZs.

Don't forget Maru, he's been pretty awesome as well!
If I recall correctly, during one stream, they were showing the players with the best records so far, and it was TY, Maru and then Flash.
Very few terrans in PvProleague at the moment, but the ones that are there are kicking ass!

I guess it depends on the format. If it's like bo5 proleague format between the races then flash and ty could carry T to victory. Really looking forward to the TvZ match as we haven't seen much of that matchup lately (outside of goody style mech, really hope flash shows us the beautiful version of mech).
|
Maru is the terran for sure even though i wanted flash for it T_T
Parting is for protoss. I think he is the strongest toss currently.
Zergs gotta be Soulkey i mean he is probably the most popular zerg that is not Life or Jaedong.

And please i want to see . Tvp mech and tvz bio !

You're surprised that Creator is there even though Prime has a huge fan base in Korea... You see the big "never give up Prime" sign every time they play... :o
I'm more surprised that Mvp isn't to be honest. lol

it's too bad Classic didn't get in but Creator has really started playing well lately still getting 4 wins last round which put him fairly high up and winning the JoyGear Cup. I don't think the pick is bad or anything. It should be fun

I think they're expecting Swarm Host in PvZ's, since that's all that's on the schedule on day 2.

My, my, what a surprise :D

Proleague is saving SC2 and Esport!!! :D
This event is awesome with all the balance discussions we are having lately!!!

Haha, team Terran is gonna crush all others, no contest!
|
United States1072 Posts
They should Play the matches as they are now then a week from now those People play with the Balance changes that are prospected
Edit: I'm surprised they never did it like that...... Honestly even in the simpliest science experiments you want to have a control so that you know how the variables effect your outcome... if you throw in variables with variables you don't know what caused what and why....
PL should be blizzards control and they should always do this with balance tests.. though this has nothing to do with it and it will be freaking awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
|
I figure Classic/Rain couldnt get back from Cologne to play this on Monday so they arent on the team
Still the lineup looks scary. Sad that they nominated Creator instead of Kal, the dude woulda won the poll easily

The best Terrans aren't available to Kespa for this tournament.
Polt/Jajji/Taeja/Bomber/Mvp/Alive. Literally every top 16 Terran from the 2013 Global finals except Maru has gone abroad.

TY and Maru certainly are amongst the very very best, Taeja could probably contest, Jjakji, Bober and Polt are not far off the tiptop. Alive and MVP, probably not so much.

Yeah, the "top 5 Terran" hype for TY is way overstated. He's done very well in one round of one team league and suddenly he owns the world?

TY holds no title at all. Not even UWC. And he's only playing good BO1 so far. He's far from proving himself tip top.
Even with his skill, i doubt he has the stamina and the nerve for large individual league, like polt at this IEM.

1000 post XD
Took me 5-6 years to reach 2000 post . . .
I love the fun concept, race strongest battle.
If Flash is represent Terran, than it is dream come true XD.
I love it more if it is 2v2.
I missed 2v2 . . . it come out for 1 week, and then it dissappear. . . . . . .

NO! NO! NO! Jaedong should be everywhere. The finals of everything ever should be Jaedong v Jaedong and what the heck the semifinals too! I wish Jaedong was my brother and my sister! I freaking love Jaedong! *GASP* *WHEEZE* Jaedong is life.

After the switch  TY was the best KeSPA terran if you did not know it he was seeded into Code S then he qualified to Code S by himself then in HotS he was slumping and now he is rising once again.

Polt/Jajji/Taeja/Bomber/Mvp/Alive. Literally every top 16 Terran from the 2013 Global finals except Maru has gone abroad. # foreign $$$ TY and Maru certainly are amongst the very very best, Taeja could probably contest, Jjakji, Bober and Polt are not far off the tiptop. Alive and MVP, probably not so much. Depends if it is PL TY or GSL TY. Yeah, the "top 5 Terran" hype for TY is way overstated. He's done very well in one round of one team league and suddenly he owns the world? After the switch TY was the best KeSPA terran if you did not know it he was seeded into Code S then he qualified to Code S by himself then in HotS he was slumping and now he is rising once again.
I'm not saying TY is bad, I just think that he's being overhyped due to his (admittedly great) 7-0 streak in PL this season. I watched TY's prior games in Code S, Code A, etc, including in WoL and he looked solid but never like a "top 5 Terran" and no one was hyping him as such prior to this PL season. His record in the last PL was a not very impressive 26-26. Then he got 0-4ed by YongHwa (a notorious underperformer in individual leagues) in the Code A qualifiers.
If you look at his stats on Aligulac in HotS (offline matches against Koreans) he has a great win rate in TvZ (though not with many games played) and his TvT and TvP records are only slightly above 50%. By Aligulac's ranking of top Terrans, he's #14, behind (among others) SuperNova, Bbyong and the Danish player Bunny. I think #14 is about right for him, he's certainly top 20 Terrans but probably not top 10 to me, and definitely nowhere close to top 5.
I'm not a TY hater or anything, and if he proves me wrong and starts killing everyone, more power to him. But his level of play against RorO and CJ_herO in Race Wars are more of what I'm used to seeing from him: solid and strong but nothing spectacular.

When there is a lack of good players of any race people start rooting for every player who shows some kind of hope, in 2011 people were calling  Alicia as the protoss hope but he was not good enough to face best terrans back then coz the number of good terrans was much higher just like now the number of good just higher then the number of good which leads to dominance.

This is very true. 2011 had a lot of false "race hopes": I remember Artosis anointed SlayerS_Min the next Zerg bonjwa based on a single GSTL game, and then when Protoss were getting destroyed towards the end of 2011 (I remember a Code S RO16 with only 1 Protoss) Sage was supposed to be the savior...

Other than that - looking forward to TvZ!
Edit: Times in OP would have been nice. ._.
HerO, Rain and Classic are in Germany.
Creator got 4 kills during regular season, the only protoss who got more was herO.

It is funny how people do not wonder why they have invited Soulkey who had worse stats then: RorO, ByuL, Shine, Rogue, Solar

Whoever made the original post needs to learn that 06:30 means 6:30 AM. The matches start 12 hours later, at 18:30 KST. Thought I missed the second day matches entirely.
