Terran: 8 Zerg: 6 Protoss: 6 I'm surprised that there aren't more Protoss at the top. | ||

Terrans outside of Korea that could match Korean Terrans? Could probably count them on 1 hand. | ||

I love Thorzain, but compare him to someone like Puma. It's not close, as much as I wish it was. | ||

Honestly though, you should take at least top 50 (or 64) players. Top 20 is nowhere near enough. It's like taking the code A/S in GSL and completely forgetting about players like DRG, MMA and even BoxeR. | ||

Thorzain won TSL where he had weeks to prepare for each opponent. Why do people keep making such a big fuss about him? There are better non-korean terrans out there, such as SeleCT, Sjow and Happy. | ||

ZP need to work out proper ways to deal with that, oh and protoss have to deal with the annoying 1/1/1 all in - which on ladder can be difficult. 1/1/1 all-ins are pretty bullshit The two Protoss on the top aren't really the best Protoss either, I doubt anyone would consider them better than Sage, Puzzle or MC. Though in a general sense, Terran does seem to be the strongest race right now, at least in Korea. Quite the opposite in EU/NA. Almost 50% of the Top 100 is Terran in Korea | ||

Also why do people take this ranking seriously, ladder ranking means so little. | ||

For the most part, the top players in GM are made up of the players (in GM) who had the most ladder time in the past week. 17 of the top 20 is Terran. That has meaning. Yes, you mentioned a meaningless statistic. Doesn't mean that it is comparable to the stats listed. | ||

Almost 50% of the Top 100 is Terran in Korea I hate that and the 2 and 3rax all ins. Problem is no way to fix it without making terran late game weaker than it already is. What can you do? make marines or tanks slower to come out? disaster for mid - late balance, | ||

That plus the new opening that Nada first did on TV which i deemed the Reverse Zatic build because you get a Reactor first instead of techlab. Normal 2 barracks opening but you get more marines and have 3/4 maraduers and push out. If the protoss was greedy in anyway he dies. EDIT: i already see some whining... try not to get the thread closed. | ||
