Jaedong'd, Sea got himself killed by Action and ZerO, and Fantasy is Soulkey's bitch.The number of zergs is a statistical anomaly.

I hope stork put focus on tomorrow. The maps are more or less balanced it seem and hopefully he can perform better then today. MSL just seem destined to be a zvz fest so OSL is the protoss hope. | ||

are statistically favoured to Zerg Cmon, statistic can be applied only to large amount of data. How you can name Dante's Peak Z favored if only 3(!) PvZ has been played here. ZvP: 2-1 (66.7%) - no way you can say smth about map balance from this. | ||

Of course there's no way to make excuses for a loss based on map imbalance (unless it's beesuit's loss), but they should make a season with maps really favor Protoss over both Zerg and Terran (like last season for Terran and this season for Zerg), just to be fair since they just rotate from Zerg maps to Terran maps and back to Zerg maps. The circle should be like Zerg->Terran->Protoss->Zerg->.... | ||

Can people on this site stop assuming that progamers randomly lose their ability to macro half-decently every time they see that one side has more units than the other? Stork's macro had little to do with the results of that game. | ||

I assume okum meant zerg macro imba or ZvP imba or something along the lines of zerg imba. | ||

It's true that if we gather 5 most balanced maps of BW history to play in every Starleague the games will be very fair but strategies won't evolve without new maps. Basically the whole PvZ meta game would not have evolved without Destination, the same applies to Terran mech vs Zerg. | ||

I did wonder about the "metagame" thing, but it's not just that comment, I see it all the damn time in LR threads. See: Any time best wins a game. | ||

There's 1001 way to make maps favor one race over 2 others, so what's your point ? Did you read my post or not ? I said that they should include Protoss maps into the current circle of Zerg maps -> Terran maps -> Zerg maps -> ..., I didn't say anything about balance or something, cause there is rarely a season that is balanced, so it's just easier to rotate the map favor among 3 races. | ||
