I'm not agreeing with what Heims said but, just wanted to comment about balanced. I think they did a statistical breakdown of either ASL records, or records from Kespa era until now. I Don't remember which one, but it showed that if you removed flash from the stats terran was doing really badly lol.

But with flash gone it seems that Terrans are the best players now. With rush and royal now being the best pretty much.

I think terran are doing well right now, you'd have to remove the stats from the top zerg / protoss to compare. I think the game has different balance at different skill level, and overall they are pretty close to 50%. Protoss seems easier at low APM and harder at the very top.

Keep in mind Larva was injured, possible he returns in the future and takes these terrans out. Some good zergs atm, but watching eg Jaedong practise games you can tell he's still a monster esp w/ defiler control and scourge bait plays. Super super sick the way he plays when he's focused etc etc, just seems to lack that consistency when it comes to ASL. My guess is ASL means a lot less to him nowadays due to $$$ from streaming? Not sure if any of you have insight into how much the Korean streamers are making
