2019 Global StarCraft II League - Code S Season 2

Protoss' GSL dominance continued in the Code S RO16, as Trap and herO advanced from Group C, while PartinG and soO advanced from Group B to lock in five Protoss players in the quarterfinals. Depending on the results of the remaining Group D (Dark, Patience, INnoVation, Stats), Code S may follow in the steps of the Super Tournament where 7/8 quarterfinal spots were taken by Protoss.

Special played some great games and has been a blast to watch this season.

Despite all the protoss, the person who looked the worst was soO who either cheesed or caught the cheese to win his games. It's hard to tell if he just wasn't comfortable with his opponents or if the state of balance has forced him to play this way.

So in the Ro8, Protoss will range from almost doubling the combined Zerg/Terran players to outnumbering them sevenfold. This new era of Protoss needs some catchy name, like GomTvT or BL/Infestor. PvPlayoffs? Global Protoss League? I'm sure somebody can come up with a suitably witty name.

Come to think of it, I like PvPlayoffs. A lot of the complaints are coming from Ro8 representation.

soO's chances don't look great, especially with Classic currently being considered the top Protoss in Korea, and a field of very capable Immortal/Prism users in Trap and Parting.

Hopefully Parting keeps it interesting when there are only Protoss remaining.

As primarily a lurker, the crying about Protoss is getting unbearable. Almost like people actually believe the race a person plays determines whether they should win or lose.

Easier to blame the race rather than own individual skills, etc. Unfortunately that's how society is right now. Bunch of snowflakes saying things to fix their agenda and bias

I'm peacing out

In before the protoss hater army comes and does their predictable whining and crying

Ah ye, Protoss won everything in 2019...oh right, they didn't! Their timing pushes need to be nerfed and there are too many of them in GSL recently but it would be good to quit whining, Protoss won Super Tournament last year as well.

I absolutely have loved the Tastosis casting team over the years, but their casting bias is a bit much at times. They're at their best when they aren't casting Protoss and this season has made me recognize that more than ever.

Special vs herO game one was particularly bad. Special was playing out of his mind and they didn't have much credit to give him. When he destroyed 20 probes, they didn't say a single thing about it. Storms were apparently beautiful, while Special's quickfire splits in response weren't too noteworthy.

Special was ahead most of the game and they acted completely surprised when he won. People complain about balance whine, but the multiple comments they made about Mules is the definition of balance whine. To paraphrase: "How is he still ahead? He took some disruptor shots!" "Oh, yeah, mules."

Meanwhile, they couldn't help but gush over hero. Come on.

sckrew it Stats and patience better take the next group lets it so soO is our only saving hope of preventing a protoss victory and then and only then will soO win a GSL when he just has to kill protoss no matter how weak he looks against them
Maybe was Zoun only Fan before he retired idk

We have the B-list Trap and Hurricane, the semi-retired Hero and the actual retired Parting in the GSL RO8.
This is what passes nowadays for the 'world absolute best' in SC2 talent, really??

I never imagined I'd say these words, but I really miss David Kim!!

Watching Classic stroll through a string of flawless victories on his way to the trophy is gonna be great! The suspense is killing me LOL

This is just sad..

Classic is the only acceptable Protoss all at once and everyone would be delighted now to see him win a Code S in his last year(after being underrated for his entire career), while herO who is most likely about to retire as well is half-active(low skilled, I guess)?

PartinG actually came back from retirement, he's recovering, while Trap seems eventually on the verge of becoming a top player once that he is free from the towering shades of his teammates. Harry "GentleBreeze" Kane is probably the one who benefits the most from his meta, but he definitely earned his ro8 spot by dispatching Solar and Ragnarok.

The sad thing is the disproportionate amount of whine and Protoss hate.

Just going to ride out this Protoss wave while it lasts, but man it's hard to get enthusiastic about this season.

Well damn, and here I was thinking Classic had already won a bunch of stuff. But I guess since he's so 'overrated' why not create a meta that would hand him another trophy, we wouldn't want some other poor sap who's not overrated to win, right?

The sad thing is the disproportionate amount of whine and Protoss hate.


You get no 'protoss hate' from me, I've played random since SC1. I've been making fun of the 'terran whining superpower' for years, I just don't have 'toss-colored glasses to see the game through

To me this seems worse than the BL/Infestor era, at least the zergs back then had to get to the late game to exploit the patch, these days the toss myriad of all-ins are a lot harder to counter.

I'd rather see soO facing the toughest ones before the final. Since he is secured for the BlizzCon, he is not desperate for scores. Instead, seeing him defeated in early stage is far better than seeing him losing 7th GSL final.

Furthermore, historically soO has a MUCH MUCH GREATER chance taking down those big names in RO16/RO8/RO4.

Definitely one of the more boring seasons of GSL. Maru's dominance was just hiding the problem
