Seems like Korean Protoss have figured out a new meta against Korean Terran.

Look you Take Stats from a qualifier that Misses 3 of the top terrans while Missing None of the top zergs and tosses (still Not ranking parting as a top toss rn not convinced yet). Obviously terrans will perform worse. I don't get what you try to achieve with this post terran is not weak right now (also Not op imo but w/e).

Wow. A no-name player to qualify for GSL. Cant remember the last time that happened. He out PvP'd Zest as well. Who is this Prince guy?

It's not completely out of nowhere, he's played in online cups and Code S qualifiers for a few years. Recently, he made it to a Kung Fu cup final where he took a game off Inno. He's joined Team GP so we should be seeing him in the next season of GTC as well (assuming we get one).

Now, if this Mondo character had qualified, that would truly be ridiculous

Congrats to Astrea, some hard work and a long road has paid off with a GSL berth. After the upsets in Season 1 Ro24, I will not be surprised if almost anyone advances.

Cuddlebear convinced me Astrea is a god, now with him in code S, I'm sure this is Astrea's year.

Their diabolical plan to get knocked out from the GSL early, to clean up next season's qualifier has worked out!

Yeah it is almost like Protoss is stronger than Terran but Terrans top 5 players are better than Protoss top 5 players.

Well, I think the 2020 offline premier qualification statistics speak for itself. Here are the qualification statistics for all offline premier tournaments in 2020 for Protoss:

10 Protoss qualify for IEM Katowice group stages out of 24 qualification spots
7 Protoss qualify for GSL Super Tournament out of 16 spots
7 Protoss qualified for GSL 1 out of 24 spots
10 Protoss qualified for GSL 2 out of 24 spots

Here are the qualification statistics for all offline premier tournaments in 2020 for Terran:

5 Terran qualify for IEM Katowice group stages out of 24 qualification spots
4 Terran qualify for GSL Super Tournament out of 16 spots
9 Terran qualified for this GSL out of 24 spots
5 Terran qualified for this GSL out of 24 spots

This seems accurate. Also, no player of any race seems to be able to stomp any competition in any tournament these days. Is it a sympthom of a volatile game, lower skill difference or both?

Terrans are Just complaining because they want to, and then they come with the good ol 'top terrans are just better' argument
Let me Turn this and say protoss mid tier players are just better than their terran opponents (also there are more of them), Case closed

Are you complaining about too many protoss players at GSL? You can always find statistics to support your viewpoint if you are willing to look for them. If I wanted to argue that protoss is doing badly I could say there has not been a protoss winner of a GSL event in the last 12 months, or that no protoss has won Code S since Stats in Season 1 of 2017.

Instead of looking for the bad things, I try to look for positive things. For example, I am disappointed Bomber didn't qualify but happy Taeja and DRG did. I am also keen to see what Prince can do. New blood in GSL.

Mate I wouldn't even try. That account has been posting those same cherrypicked stats in loads of threads trying to further their agenda. There's no point arguing.
