But did you look at how many premier tournaments they won in 2018? That clearly shows that there isn't a balance problem right now. | ||

Originally before this post you quoted I said it's no surprise at all that we're having a protoss dominated tournament after zerg and terran have won all the major tournaments so far. That's exactly what's happening. By the way it's not even a foregone conclusion that protoss wins this tournament. How funny would it be if Gumiho pulls off a win here as the only non-protoss left in the quarterfinals? It's not THAT unthinkable haha. | ||

To make up for it they should throw games to gumiho to avoid nerfs and keep the right to keep complaining about racial imbalance and not winning tournaments. Luckily PvP is in a much better place compared to last patch and arguably the best mirror match to watch right now. It doesn't even matter Protoss has been getting nerfed even when they won almost nothing in 2018 | ||

Not Protoss. Zerg. Zerg has a winning record against both Protoss and Terran. Therefore by Protoss haters logic, Zerg is imbalanced. 😜 Thanks for the research. I think the game is reasonably balanced at the top level. Of course, if I believed in the para-normal maybe I might believe the ghost of Avilo is rising up and haunting the GSL Super Tournament. as far as Protoss dominance in this tourney.... sometimes when you flip a coin 8 times ... it comes up tails 7 times. | ||

I agree the "if maru/serral play protoss" is not a good argument. However would say the protoss has more skill potential than in hots and it still has been very dominant in the past. All in all, Stats, Zest, Classic reached finals, they're facing the same problem the zergs do in gsl (no winner since 2015) | ||

Players who are great all-round but especially noted for being amazing mechanically, playing the race that rewards that the least. | ||

"just play like maru... and gumiho"? lol come on bro - Assuming you watched the games - Stats clearly played waaaaaay below his normal level - Game 1 Lost 7 stalkers for free right before Gumi pulled the boys Game 2 Took a horrrrendous fight into 6 tanks with 1 non matrixed colossus and a few stalkers banshees killed last 2 colo. Game 3 Let Gumi literally walk up in between and siege his bases - didn't kill the rocks and took another horrendous fight. The best protoss in the world did not play remotely like the best protoss in the world in this series - that is clear. | ||

but, as a viewer, having 7 protoss in the ro8 makes for a poor watching experience, at least to me. today, i've watched gumiho vs stats, took a break and came back to watch patience vs classic. and let me tell you, it wasn't due to lack of time, | ||
