Gotta be honest, I'm less hype for this season than I've ever been before... I just hope all the terrans don't get knocked out in the first round.

I will not be surprised if a terran will win like this

or this

Also SPL and Warer.com show that the problem is not with races but with lack of good terran players in korean region, Code S level players like jjakji, TaeJa, MMA, Bomber, Polt, ForGG, YoDa and Mvp changed the region that is why we see so little terran players in GSL. Add them to our 3 terrans + top SPL perfomers Flash and TY and you will get 13 Terrans in Code S.

I beg you pardon?
Taeja, Bomber, sure.
Jjakji, Polt, Perhaps
MMA, ForGG, YoDa, MVP, Never.
Top SPL Performers Flash and TY both lost in qualifying. Flash went 0-2 vs P and 1-2 vs Bravo, TY went 0-4 vs P.

Meanwhile, do you consider half the players that qualified through Code A REALLY Code S level players????

SPL is a bad example because THE BEST OF THE BEST terrans fight B/C/D - Teamer Protosses, Warer.com is an Invitational in which the sample size is low and the Protosses competing are indeed of a lower level compared to the terrans.

Most of the players in your video didn't actually make it into Code S this season...kind of a boner killer, you know?

Flash and

TY lost to

YongHwa if you do not know who is

YongHwa plz stop discussing and I know all former results and potential of players who have qualified and only

Flash,

Cure and

KeeN were favorites of their groups

Panic may seem like a lucker but if we look at his online and nonbroadcasted games he was going to whether continue his lose streak at broadcasted matches or finally show his potential which he had shown online. The only surprises are loses from Flash, KeeN, Hurricane, FanTaSy and Seed and wins from Bbyong (no surprise if you saw his online results though), Panic (wins online a lot), Pet (very young and skillful) and Ruin (very skillful and unpredictable) other results have no surprises. The number of young

and

are much higher then

that is why we have so few terrans. Can you say me at least 5 players who are under 19 for

players except Flash and FanTaSy who were good at BW? I can easily say 5+ players who whether were good at BW or are under 19 for

and

but not for

where all 19- and BW stars are in EU and AM.

You're saying 2 out of what, 24/26 spots being Terran is completely fine and predictable? Yonghwa is not the caliber of player that kills the Best Terrans In The World 6-0. He's really good, not that good.

It also makes you wonder, Maybe there's a reason other than accross the board sudden influx in skills that those protosses you name are favorites if that is because of online and recent results...

PS Very good to know all of those former results and especially the potential of players bro!

Didn't liked the logo bumping at the beginning, but otherwise yay video!
Glad I was bored around GomTvT era and noted all the names that cried about Terran OP back or the ones defending it, comparing the List from GomExPvP with it is quiet funny.

TY and Flash are not the best terrans. I am pretty sure you knew very little about TY's results before the SPL. There is not a sudden influs in skills. Tell me what player did not deserve the Code S slot. Every player who has qualified did well in other events or prelims.

+++ remember the times when I forced myself to watch another series of TvT and times when rooted as hell for

July and nightmares in October 2011 when it was TvTvTvTvTvTvT and CoCa was the last man who went 0-3

But I stll enjoyed the GSL and will always remember that good times.

Moreover, again we're here with that notion that players don't deserve their results because their race is strong. Fuck that notion. Dumbest thing ever. These people have worked hard to get where they are, they deserve just as much respect as any other player at any other given time. It's not their fault if terran is weak right now. Don't take your anger out on them.
