Thanks for the good laugh, but no. Not a single chance.
When are you going to post your follow up article to
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/starcraft-2/460550-welcome-to-zparcraft-ii on the current state of balance? Can I suggest the title "Welcome to Tarcraft?"
Sure. When Protoss:
- has less Code S representation in one year than the dominant race in any single season;
- has his very best players (Rain, Zest) lying in Code B to 3 buttons strategies;
- is the least played race at pro level since 2.5 years;
- passively starts the game behind
on any map (including the most "standard" ones) against the dominant race;
- has 5% of the options of the dominant race;
- doesn't even have the small way-out of low-skill all-ins to dodge macro games;
- is robbed of the areas where it's supposed to shine by design;
- has the smallest margin of error
and the weakest comeback potential;
- is the race that loses the most against inferior players, and in particular repeatedly gets coinflipped to death by the dominant race playing unscoutable low-skill builds with smooth transitions;
- doesn't get a single Premier title in 7 months;
- has only one man who keeps winning against all odds;
- is still declared fine by legions of tools who don't understand its winrates no longer mean anything because its subtop has been erased from existence in the first place;
Then I'm sure
you will go through the small effort to write 40 pages based on 8 months of data to plead your case. From personal experience I can guarantee you will have ton of fun.
But don't worry, you won't have to. What will happen is that Blizzard will put 7 Overgrowth clones for WCS 2015 S1, Protoss will play colo dual forge again and people will realize that nope, Terran isn't structurally stronger than Protoss (which is the big difference with Zparcraft).
By the way, here are all the recent big tournaments including enough Koreans:

Or probably 6 out of 6 with Doublemint's logic because A threw, plus if B does that, then C occurs and Terran wins anyway. (

Oh, and please follow
http://challonge.com/leifengmf2 that is running as we speak; in particular pay attention to how Protoss got absolutely decimated so far, completely wiped by the extreme domination that TaeJa, Cure, Bbyong and Maru exerted against their Protoss opponents.
