Nope, zerg is strongest and benefitted from the last patch the most. Despite this Zerg have been the whiniest, at least the pros have been.
SC2 Archon needs "Terrible, terrible damage" as one of it's quotes.

Zerg pros complaining about balance and then winning the World Championship is a yearly tradition in SC2 at this point.

The zerg race is just built to win this kind of tournament as opposed to dominating in practice or on the ladder.
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

I think stuff is relatively balanced (i do think in the Ghost mech Stage Terran is favored tho). But i do think zergs are complaining a Bit much for their recent Performances. I get that the matchups might not feel good in the way they Play Out but that is imo a different topic than the Overall Balance.

Before anyone complains, i was born of cancer zodiac, which entitles me to be emotionally dramatic.

We just might never find out if any race is imba. As it's it very possible that it's Serral that's imba and not the race he plays...

Because that is the best SC2 can offer and you don't wanna see good games?

Guess it's seeding by global points right? Which would mean Serral an Maru meet earliest in the Final Four

I personally believe they should have the Final Four played in round robin style, and then top 2 play the Final. Thats more fun then a simple knockout bracket.

And then there is a Three-Way-Tie, you need to straighten that out, which fails and gets you in another tie...it's just messy tbh, especially if you want to finish your tournament on a hyped-up high point.
Or one player dominates everyone and then loses the finals, also not particularly rewarding.

I think the system is interesting as it is and a World Cup like this definetly deserves atleast a Final Four bracket

Nah, I enjoy a 3 race game. If you can enjoy the repetition of the current game state, I'm happy for ya.
