With such a big skill disparity between the top Zergs and the LG-IM players in attendance here at IEM it's really hard to get an accurate gauge but with top Zergs like Life and Leenock attending MLG it should be a much better measurement assuming of course that those two have actually been practicing HoTS at all. Considering they were seeded we simply have no idea, so that entire statement has not footholding. We have not seen them play, they might not even come close to the play they had in WoL. It's guess work nothing more. How do we know they are the best ? perhaps looking back at this IEM Violet played alot better ? Silly statement an MLG is not going to judge anything. Next season GSL might. Better measurement doesn't mean it's satisfactory. Personally I'm withholding all balance judgments until the next GSL season myself.
Stop using the word balance, let's just call it the meta game or the current game trend. As it stands at least I believe that the protoss army late game will be incredibly strong and probably hard for zerg to fend off, however if Zerg manages to beat protoss in the early middle game either by killing him or crippling him enough he might still have a chance.
How likely is this or is it harder for protoss to go to the super army than it is for Zerg to punish the protoss or vice versa is yet to be determined.

WHOA just realized that IM swept the top 4... Wow.
Hope first manages to take it over MVP in the finals, but all 4 of these guys are beastly.

I don't think the skill disparity between all the IM guys and violet/stephano is that big, at least it wasn't in wol. All of the IM guys maybe not. Those 4? Definitely.
Based on what? I don't want to start the stephano discussion for the #240214 time, but how are first/yonghwa/yoda better than violet?

well GOMtv wanted to give him code S seed. He rejected A code s seed doesn't mean you are Code S level. Very few of the players that have gotten seeded have ever even made it past the first round. Yeap, even Stephano. My point is theres no Code S level foreigner zerg atm Stephano has qualified by U&Ds... He is not seeded this season. He achieved Code S by playing. Im not denying that. Read again Very few of the players that have gotten seeded have ever even made it past the first round. But "Code S level" doesn't mean "made it past the first round of Code S", it means "being in the RO32 of Code S". So MaNa is Code S level too? fair enough MaNa is currently in Code S? haha that discussion is so dumb guys, "so MVP is not code S level" ?^^ this can go on forever WELL IS HE CURRENTLY IN CODE S? HUH? weirdest stuff comes up in LR threads
It wouldn't be a LR thread without pointless arguments now would it?

Mvp doesn't have his wrist bandages on. I wonder if that's a good sign ^^

I don't get why people bash Rachel.. She's doing a good job and every time i've seen her she has been doing exactly that.

3-0 Mvp, but I'm ok with Mvp allowing yoda to win.

Well I think she is doing a great job and she keeps getting work so a lot of people agree with me.
I think how she looks might have something to do with that lol

YoDa has way better mechanics I think, but Mvp is the master of mindgames. YoDa has a good shot, but Mvp is a dangerous nerd.

I won't be surprised if Yoda wins this.
At this point I have no idea who's going to win this tournament. It's a toss up from here. 2 Mirror match ups with all players that have great skill and experience in them and being teammates to boot.
Any of them can win.

Way better?
Mvp looks quite in shape, I doubt there is a huge disparity in their mechanics right now.

MaNa did the same Stephano did, not long ago, both did it in WoL too
If you are in Code S, you must be Code S level currently.
If you are not, you maybe or you may not be Code S level. MaNa is not currently.
