Honestly, I think the balance is ok but zerg definitely is the best in late game. Feels to me like the room for error is a lot smaller for the other races during late game. What Morbidius said about how they are trying to bring back pretty bad metas I think is a good point. I don't know why they would want to buff nydus, immortal push and Broodlord+Infestor. That even sounds like a recipe for disaster. That said, I think the tournament has shown that the foreign scene has improved a lot, even though I do believe that this is an outlier overall. | ||

But I think we the coming patch with: 1. Nerfed infested terrans 2. Improved stim timing 3. Improved late game EMP 4. Slightly nerfed warp prisms. The game will be close to balanced. Only gglord nerf and winfestor further nerf needed. then I agree | ||

At the highest level of competition, early and mid-game protoss is stupidly strong, which is why despite all of this anti-zerg balance whine, protoss has been enjoying the most tournament success, overall, out of all 3 races. Even in this tournament, protoss was over-represented in the quarter and semi-finals. Yet, somehow, all the of the balance whine is being focused entirely on zerg. | ||

That said, the current advantage is slightly a bit too much, but that's going to be addressed by the next patch. Versus terran, the early and mid-game is a bit less difficult to survive for zerg, so zerg's lategame advantage is currently even more unwarranted than in ZvP. That, too, will be addressed.

I guess people whine about zerg because Serral makes zerg look op lol. | ||

It's so fast-paced and action-packed, and can be really complex; perhaps not in unit compositions variety, but certainly decision making. ZvZ is really good these days compared to a lot of SC2 history, PvP is too IMO. It’s a bit weird but there’s a lot of dynamic decision making, it’s not x build vs y build. | ||

Sometimes I wonder if Blizzard is turning a blind eye on purpose I mean they could've released the balance patch they had before this tournament instead of holding it for no reason | ||

Really, can we have longer periods without patches every few months? I really want to see the metagame developping by the players and if something feels broken like mass raven/blink era/whatever else in the past we could see some small adjustments. My idea for making things better would be reversing HT nerf rather than nerfing infestor. | ||

How many of you actually had a ZvZ as a likely final? It was such a longshot for Elazer to make it, and he barely got there, if Zerg was really this imbalanced wouldn't more people be predicting ZvZ? If we get a ZvZ final in GSL or 5 Zergs in GSL RO8 I think the whine is warranted, but infestors are already getting nerfed and Zerg didn't actually overperform that much. Now take a good look at map winrates for GSL vs World. TvZ => 57.1% (14 W 8 L) ZvP => 69.2% (9 W 4 L) (6 wins by Serral, 2 Losses from Serral) PvT => 75% ( 16 W 4 L) - Terrans won ZERO matches vs Protoss. | ||

Stats vs Maru Trap vs Heromarine Classic vs Fanta Classiv vs Special you really want to bring any statistics about PvT with these players facing each other? | ||
