In the wake of MLG Anaheim I'm posting the MLG Columbus TvZ stats: Note: Only groups and beyond to finals are taken into account. Open play qualifying is not count. T vs Z 30:44 2:1 0:2 0:2 1:2 2:1 1:2 1:2 2:0 1:2 0:2 2:0 0:2 0:2 1:2 2:0 1:2 2:1 0:2 1:2 1:2 0:1 0:2 2:0 0:2 2:0 0:3 2:4 2:0 2:1 Terran 32% Zerg 68% 29 sets were counted, 74 matches total. ![[image loading]](http://i51.tinypic.com/2lvbuwi.jpg)   | ||

Need some more context and what is the # of Terran and Zerg players in your sample? | ||

Need some more context i would guess that, there's 32 matchups in that, he lists 29 so i guess he may have merged some extended series or missed one or two but that's besides the point. look at who played there. from a terran pov you have MMA smashing everyone and then, er... that's about it. thorzain beat idra in a dead rubber, knocked out machine as you'd expect. fenix took out sheth which isn't a huge surprise. all the good terran players either got knocked out by other terrans/protoss, or by objectively superior zergs. and it's 72 games total, a hilariously low sample size. | ||

Looks to me in every matchup, the better player won, and there were more good zergs than good terrans. There wasn't a single TvZ where I thought, "wow, Terran is doing multi pronged drops, creep denying, pressure expanding, beautiful tank positioning, excellent marine splitting, oh w8 Z has infestor/broodlord game is over." When the Terran outplayed the Zerg, the Terran won. When Zerg was down 50 food, the Terran won. | ||

At the bottom of group play were ... Gretorp, Moonan, Select and TLO. If there had been three Korean Terrans instead of three Zerg, the balance might have flipped to the reverse. This. Not only the number of games is too small to be relevant, but the number of players is also too small. Even if you have a sample of 1 000 000 games if its the same two players playing them all it doesnt mean anything, since the skill difference between them can be huge. | ||

MMA, Thorzain The rest did awful. Demuslim was not in form, qxc played mediocre, Fenix played mediocre. If you put a lot of top 10 zergs in a tourney with top 30 terrans, it should be skewed  | ||

Let me dare to say... Just a little bit of insider info or perspective - of course a pro has the mindset to overcome anything that could potentially be imbalanced by hardwork/practice, but if you were to talk with the majority of pros online, both T/P, they will tell you that they are very unhappy with how powerful infestors currently are. If anyone has watched a certain person's stream b4, you can see him beating some korean progamers by massing almost exclusively infestors/lings/broods...yeah... The infestor counters every unit essentially, including it's counters, such as ghost and templar, it even counters all mech units (with good control) just from researchin neural. That's the nitty gritty of it, and regardless of the optimistic mindset that pros need to have to keep improving, the game is not balanced at all right now. Actually, let me rephrase - the game is pretty closed to balanced, the infestor...is not. No one wants to really be the person to put that stuff out there, but i don't mind stepping up and pointing that out. Maybe other pros could comment too... For TvZ the match-up itself, following up what I just said, regardless of MLG/GSL stats, I think it would be perfectly balanced if not for how powerful the infestor is right now, especially with broods. It's also really strange that not a lot of korean progamers have experience with the infestor metagame yet...or maybe they just recently started to learn about it. | ||
