Judging balance based on circuit and a one weekend tournament does not seem logical to me. While i don't think race balance is bad, i still think zerg is just slightly bit weaker ... But not because Rogue and Leenock didn't win today. | ||

Also, for anyone wondering, the last time a foreigner made it to the GSL semis was one January 19th, 2011 when Jinro beat IdrA 3-1 in the ro8. That was the fourth ever GSL in all of StarCraft II. | ||

However, Rogue is as bad of an opponent as one could get in the round of 8.

That was the fourth ever GSL in all of StarCraft II. again. We're talking about ro8 Rogue. Out of 7(I believe) he failed 7 times. Rogue in GSL RO8 is a pathetic shell of his former himself. And if he's playing out of his mind he's playing against his teammate who will dismantle him anyway(e.g. traditional Rogue vs. Maru) I am not saying Neeb played bad, he had an easy route but he had to win something to get here. | ||

Also worth noting, I think that's like Rogue's 7th time or something that he has lost in the quarterfinals of gsl. | ||

IEM Katowice and GSL vs the World are 2 weekend tournaments. Last time I checked 1 + 1 is 2 and not 1. | ||

Does anyone know why Rogue went ultras in the last game? that looked weird - Cause he was heavy on melee/armor ups. - Fear effect of ultralisks: Showing one Ultralisk makes Neeb think about how many more are hidden behind in the fog or popping shortly after and can delay the decision to attack of Neeb, until he has better information. - His army composition was heavy on DPS (ling/bane) but low on tankyness, which he added with ultralisks. - He was on mass queen, so in a perfect world he could and would have healed a few ultralisks, while they tank damage, while lings and banes do the damage job. - If there was a chance to still win the game i. e. in a base trade scenario, Ultralisk have a good pull back factor onto the main army of Neeb. Pylons for robotics can be killed and unpowered pretty quickly. Ultralisks counter all gateway units pretty well so that neeb had to pull back Immortals. After all he couldn't have made a better decision, as Neebs army would have countered everthing else too. Even fenix were out to lift lurkers. No damage upgrade Hydras in low numbers as well don't do much against well upgraded Protoss units and need a pretty long time to get the two den upgrades before they get useful. He was drawing dead at this point already due to other things that happened (or not have happened) before imo. | ||

It'd have to be something like: Showtime gets at least top 32 Has, Nerchio and Heromarine all get top 8 Elazer gets top 4 And someone from the 9-15 range makes the finals. Or two people from outside the current top 8 make the finals and then one of those other things doesn't have to happen. All very possible individually but the likelihood of every one of those things coming together at once is still pretty low. I think it's a pretty good chance they'll switch the schedule though so Neeb plays his GSL match on the 5th | ||

I mean, that's fairly par for the course in GSL. Did you know that there hasn't been a Zerg in the semis 4 times in LotV? Neither other race has missed one this expansion. Regardless of whatever success Zerg has elsewhere they do not do well in GSL. I mean, it'd probably be a different story if they stopped match fixing right... | ||
