It's not that high though. As much as people attribute these things to high variance - Rain, Soulkey, Jaedong, Maru, to name a few, are constantly at the top (Maru moreso recently). As much as people love Flash and Fantasy (they were the 2 I wanted most to advance), they're not as good as the best. | ||

On the one hand, I do want StarCraft to succeed. On the other hand, I also want Blizzard to have no choice whatsoever but to finally realize they done fucked this game up something fierce, so they can fix their shit and make it work. So where does this leave me with Inno vs. 3 Code A/B Protoss coming up? So very conflicted. edit: normally I love Tastosis, but their saccharine love affair with Protoss is just going to be salt rubbing in wounds. I enjoy them all except though except maybe TvP so I guess you speak only for yourself. | ||

I'd say that's quite a Terran comeback for a tournament branded the PvProleague. TvX winrate is also sitting incredibly high at the moment. Source: http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/2014_Proleague/Round_1/Statistics i'd contend that only baby and maru have done well against protoss - flash is 2-2 i think? otherwise no terran is more than +1 diiferential http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/hots/leagues/4286_2014_SPL_Round_1/player_stats#tblt-1941-1-6-DESC | ||

I'm gonna hold you to your word! + Show Spoiler + I've heard that the Dresden Files get better from the third book onward, but how the hell do people get through book 3 to find out??? The way Jim Butcher non-chalantly brought up the fact that Harry Dresden has (and apparently always had) a BFF completely invalidated how lonely he seemed in the first two books and how one-man his crusades really were. Not only that, but he's basically a saint, which should push the buttons of someone as snarky and irreverent as Harry a hundred times more than any of the cops he runs into in a day's work, but now it turns out he's secretly a very tolerant person?! What! ...sorry for the rant. Haven't met anyone else who read the books. That feels a lot better. :D | ||

And yet TvP in proleague is 70% in favour of terran and protoss only has a 41% win rate overall, so I guess protoss probably aren't that imbalanced are they? Different races are doing well in different places, but it's looking fairly balanced overall. Any of the races can take wins. | ||
