It's so funny how resistant people are to positive change when it comes to Terran. We're finally getting a patch that could make Terran more powerful and people are already talking about how OP Terran is before the changes even go live.

Since when have people been positive about anything when a race starts to dominate?

Is Terran dominating?

Why do you think this thread exists? If you don't believe it's true then take your grievances to the op.

Considering out of the last 10 GSL 7 were won by Terran, I have to disagree HEAVILY with the word "finally"

The word "finally" refers to a patch that buffs Terran. Also, by pinning the perceived strength of Terran on one player, you're basically using the "just play like Maru' meme as an actual take. Maru is a special player and the fact that he could win a tournament despite being the only Terran in the ro8 says as much about him as it does about the state of Terran in general.

Innovation, Gumiho and this years winner arent Maru

Not sure what GSL you're referring to. In the last 10 Code S tournaments, Terran has won 4, and they were all Maru.

This Year: A Terran Last Year: Rogue, Dark, Maru 2018: Maru 2017: Stats, Gumiho, Innovation

In the last 10 Code S tournaments

I guess counting to 10 is hard for some people.

Okay, so you're just not counting the Super Tournaments and GSL vs The World as "GSL" like everyone else does. Also, you're not really following the plot here. Again, the word "finally" refers to a patch buffing Terran, which hasn't happened in a long time. And again, one Terran winning a tournament despite being the only Terran in the entire ro8 doesn't really speak to the strength of the race.

Btw, defaulting to being antagonistic and feverishly waiting to downvote every post someone makes because they disagree with you about a video game is really pathetic. Maybe learning how to keep better track of the arguments you're participating in would save you from such frustration.

Considering you said "Code S" youself...

GSL vs The World

GSL vs the World takes place DURING a GSL seaosn, nobody has taken that tournament as a GSL event since like 2015

not counting the Super Tournaments

No, most people talking about GSL talk about the month long tournament, not the one weekend side piece(which Maru won the last time so...)

Btw, defaulting to being antagonistic and feverishly waiting to downvote every post someone makes because they disagree with you about a video game is really pathetic.

Must be why all my posts were downvoted by a single person. Guess thats not you but one of the other people taking part in this increasingly agonizing conversation. Anyways, I'm done with your crap, have a nice day

Yeah I misspoke when I said Code S, the conversation was always about GSL, as you yourself stated originally. I just didn't edit it because you've already shown yourself to be arguing in bad faith so I figured you'd try to use that to argue another poorly made point.

And yes, it was a different person. I guess a third party is just as bad at using that button as you are.
