Man PvZ is easy, just forge FE, make cannons for muta and go for timing attack with 3-4 gate zlots with +1 attack and legs, old school.

Yeah I won 100% PvZ with this (3games)

But can I add a question?
Why is it that on D level only protoss players wait to the last second before selecting their race?
This season I have seen <5 protoss select their race before the end of countdown and I´ve played about 250 games total. Do they do this only against Terrans?
Also there was a few games where the gametitle said TvZ and then they changed to toss... But that was probably just Zim.

I play a lot of TvZ against Mazar, who's on your CPL team. I'd be glad to give you some PvT practice next season.
Of course, you only live one life, and you make all your mistakes, and learn what not to do, and that’s the end of you.

so this is a not-so-carefully disguised imba blog isn't it? and your sample is so large that it makes sense to extrapolate it to the entire starcraft scene.

The race you have up when you get ready to start the game will have an impact on what races you are likely to face

I think I speak for most people who can't make their own games, that we absolutely hate getting banned, and we sacrifice any preferences just to get a game started. Since people almost always ban you if they're zerg and you choose zerg, it's preferable to just play off race. Moreover, if the OP is Toss, most people don't feel like playing TvP I think (not as sexy/romantic as ZvP).

At the OP: You probably see significantly fewer Toss at D levels because it's easier to move up to C ranks with Toss. When no one knows what they're really doing, toss gets an advantage because they're just kind of husky. I'm not saying Protoss is easy here, I'm just saying that when there's no micro/good strategy, toss wins. Otherwise it really depends on the map and the player's skillsets.

Now why would I cry imba with a 50% winrate in it? I just know that newbies are more attracted to the race which is easier to learn and play at a low lvl, and in the previous season I had a LOT of pvp. Like 70% pvp. I just wondered If zerg weren't considered the new ez race at low levels because of swarm season etc, thats why D/D+ had so many zergs in it, but obviously there was an alternate explanation :p

ZvZ - 10-11
ZvP - 22-35
ZvT - 21-34

TvZ - 4-7
TvP - 0-3
TvT - 0-1

Total
vZ - 14-18
vP - 22-38
vT - 21-35

I played against a lot of Z as T just because I like TvZ. It's such a sexy mu. But I also like ZvZ.

I wish there were more Z players.
