On February 06 2016 01:48 KreationHidden wrote: 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!! http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/2016_Global_StarCraft_II_League_Season_1/Code_A | ||

TY does in fact look to be a literal god. And being an atheist thats kind of contradictory for me. Fuck yeah for: Leenock, Dark, Solar, Rogue, Speed, Zest and Stork. and TY of course. Disappointed with the play of : Creator, Super, and DRG. Feel bad for Maru, Inno, Jaedong, Byun Get on real teams: DRG, Soulkey, Byun, True Lastly Lotv looks to be quite beautiful when played at the highest level, theres a back and forth. I used to think if a player i wasn't much of a fan of retires oh well at least they weren't my favorites. Though really hoping that were able to grow the pool of high caliber players. Cheers. | ||

There's probably no player in SC2 to whom that sentiment applies less than INno. He's especially susceptible to unmanly SC, and good Protoss tend to have more pride than mediocre Protoss, leading them to try to play INno in something resembling a fair match. Instead of, you know, just pooling 3 Oracles. Case in point, INno vs sOs in PL finals. Is it me that doesn't get the phrasing or did you just call sOs a mediocre protoss? I'm more interested in what exactly it was Stork did today that was unmanly or that he shouldn't be proud of. He made Protoss units ![]() You know who shouldn't be proud? INnoVation for losing 23 workers to a storm drop and another 17 to two AFK adepts in the deciding game. His drop defense was terrible during the whole serie ![]() | ||

Like that Proleague game vs sOs where he instantly noticed everything everywhere on the map, including DTs walking by his army. | ||

People call him the robot, but he's the total opposite imho, he's very emotional and can fall apart very quickly. In team leagues though, he seems less fragile and shows his true value, is it the group effect that erase his doubts? He's still m favorite though, I hope he still has a chance to go to blizzcon.... | ||

I'll be cheering for the KT players (that five of them made it is fantastic!) and Stork. His series against Innovation was so good. I hope he goes far this season. | ||

But stork went up straight up macro all 5 games, didn't even go tempests (which are straight up Liberator counters), and went for collossi(which was straight up nerfed), and still won. Not to mention the WP HT drops killing the mineral line xD. Stork played like a God those games. P.S. In interviews, Stork said he used colossi because he thought he couldn't micro with tempests that well, and it was Hurricane's idea to go colossus if he was having trouble with Tempest control. Kudos to Hurricane, he would be a great coach. | ||

Liberators are quite useless at some point (good stalker micro), Terran have nothing more than in Wol when Liberators are gone: marine marauder medivack (since 6 years now).. And toss, that don't need zone damage units anymore, WTF ??? (Zest just walked through maru with adepts, blink stalkers and imo against a stim MMM Oo), and if for the fun they want to add some to their compo, they have choice between sick Colossus, Storms, or disuptors, well). Actually, those 2 games were really painfull to watch. The TvP meta is really bad, and i'm really surprised when i hear casters saying "Oh this game is so balanced this extension is the greatest", really, i don't understand what they like in the TvP MU :/ It seems they are just trying to convince themselves, and do a kind of propaganda for blizzard interests ...

Now I just need a SuNo resurgence and I'll have my two favorite underrated Terran's back. I think I'm going to forever remember Stork as that guy who manages to defy our expectations by being mediocre. He'll make Ro16 tops. I dare you to defy me! | ||

On a serious note tho for the sake of the GSL as a whole it's a real shame that Maru faced Zest as both are big fan favourites and it's a shame to see one knocked out so early. Innovation was a beast last year, but on the other hand it's really good to see some of the older guys getting to Code S. Even Stork didn't think he had a chance. I'm hoping DRG goes far, would be so sick. Really looking forward to GSL even though some beast terrans aren't in Code S. | ||
