Race ratios make a poor measure of balance, if only because the more of a given race there is in the initial field the higher the likelihood of knocking out there own race. For example if the round of 128 starts with a lot of terran players, more terran players will be eliminated due to mirror matches. Add to this the fact that in a small number of games upsets can happen regardless of racial advantage and that the best players may have mechanics which make up for any racial disadvantage and it's even more likely that the ratio of remaining players will move toward the center.

People are just kidding lol.

We could say Terrans got there through various non-balance related ways (Dream is far better than Hyun, Bbyong is far better than DRGling, TY is considerably better than Patience), 4 got in through TvT and 1 got in through a Bye.

TERRAN SO UP ONLY 2 IN 5 OUT IN LEGIT GAMES QQ WHINEWHINE.





No.
Lets just enjoy it the way it is, we will see how Code S shapes up. It's just sad that the qualifiers and most of Code A were plagued by a balance issue which may or may not be perfectly resolved. Nothing we can do about it now. At least Ro32 will be superdiverse (hopefully, don't fuck us over bracket!!!)


EDIT:
Whilst making up random stupid stats to complain about, I noticed the racial balance went from (T/Z/P) 20/22/18 to 10/11/11. T and Z divided perfectly by 2, Protoss lost roughly a third. Protoss OP. Tournament fake. Blizpls


EDIT2:
I challenge you all to make up more idiotic balance complaints!!

It took a bit over 5 hours in total, they did finish before midnight.

This race distribution makes me think that the game at the very top is balanced. I hope this will make Blizzard hold off on their patching for awhile!

High hopes for Seed, Creator, TY, TaeJa, Losira and Soulkey :D

I'm somehow feeling aLive to do extremely well no one really believed in him when he once was champion maybe he feels nostalgic and does it again:D

TaeJa will quietly and slowly make his way to the Ro4 and play a close game against CJherO, pulling off a miracle hold to advance to the finals. TaeJa vs HerO finals. *wakes up*

I'm pulling for TaeJa to make a deep run. He's been practicing in secret.

I really hope the tank buff goes through soon, then maybe Bbyong will bring some upsets with some crazy mech play!!
