i think iccup map stats proves that. Almost all icc map stats P>T, P >/= Z, Z> T. With exception to othello.

Desti:
ZvT : 25148 - 27802 (47 %)
ZvP: vs30656 - 28186 (52.1 %)
TvP: vs29152 - 32791 (47 %)

I think you are interpreting those numbers wrong lol
ZvT : 25148 - 27802 (47 %) = Zerg has only won 47% games over terran. Meaning T > Z with 53% winning rate

ZvP: vs30656 - 28186 (52.1 %) = Zerg has a 52.1% win ratio vs protoss. Not the other way around. So P is not >/= Z, more like Z > P

and TvP: vs29152 - 32791 (47 %) is showing that the Protoss has a winning rate of 53% over the Terran.

You may conclude that Destination favors Protoss slightly by those statistics.
However this map only shows the natural way of things: T > Z > P > T


Those map statistics might also contradict the theory that Protoss is the easy race, and "suggest" zerg is the easy race, if you compare the "easy" MU of each race (ZvP, TvZ, PvT), and the "hard"mu (ZvT, TvP, PvZ) percentage.

Often, ZvT seems to be much less difficult than PvZ (hard MU)
while PvT seems to be slightly easier than ZvP (easy MU)


Sorry guys... But, statistically, Zerg is actually slightly easier than Protoss. o_O
And Terran is horribly difficult. *respect for Terran players*


These statistics include both A and D players, which means that even the terrible players are included. If the statistcs were divided by ranks, they would give more meaning. Perhaps at A rank there might be imbalances?

iCCup is basically like USEast if USEast watched VODs. Kind of why I don't play much SC.

yep protoss is generally easier at the lower ranks because generally the micro/macro is easier compared to other races because the other races require more babysitting and using abilities like burrowing, stim, using siege mode. terran requires a little more apm, and this is what most lower level users lack, hence the gap between terran and protoss at low levels.

i'm not saying protoss is easy in general or anything, but i think most people would agree with me when i say if you are a lower rank then protoss is easier to play. at higher levels the game is balanced very well.

In my limited experience, Terran lends itself to rapid unit orders, so you naturally click faster while playing. It's only hard to give rapid instruction if you need to do it on different screens, or with high precision.
My strategy is to fork people.

It's the truth.

Because it is.

Protoss is great. I just pound the keyboard with my palms for 15 minutes and I have like a 70% win rate. Some days I don't even turn on my monitor!

Right. Just like how a Terran army can't win against a Protoss army without siege mode, spider mines, missle turrets, and positioning.
The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity but, why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

I think AzureEye has a valid point.

Protoss do have easier mecanics and that helps at lower levels, but the fact is that properly engaging a D level Terran push usually takes more skill than what we D level Protoss have.

It doesnt matter if you are Flash or some random D noob, Tanks still melt Dragoons and mines still melt Zealots. Of course, the better a Terran player is, the better his unit positioning will be, but my points is that as a Protoss, if you dont at least do a decent job engaging the Terran army, even as a D level player, your army will melt, while Terrans can rely on the sheer damage output and resistance of Tanks, Vultures and mines which are a lot more forgiving to poor unit control.

Well, if you compare Toss to Terran, the latter requires full use of secondary abilities such as mines and sieging to fulfill max potential. They're also somewhat of a double-edged sword - mines and tank splash can kill your own units quite easily if you get too hasty and screw up positioning or something like that. Whereas for Protoss in the same matchup, there are less things to worry about, at least before you engage in battle. Macro aside, your biggest worry is often sweeping mines without running your units into them and avoiding getting lured into fights that you're not ready for yet. Once the battle begins of course, it gets a little bit more difficult as in order to break a well-placed push, you have to time your Zealot wave carefully, while figuring out the best place to drop units and storm, if you can get it off. Most Terran prep comes in between battles - asides from that though, it's not quite that different. Both P and T have to use shift+click after constructing buildings, though it's true that P is a bit more forgiving if you forgot since it's immediately obvious that the probe isn't doing anything.
