How many of the maps are anti-T right now, and to what significance? | ||

Mirrors: 7 PvP 1 TvT 7 ZvZ I'm not sure exactly how to read mirror numbers. The only one that seems to be significant is the 4 PvPs on Outlier. ZvZ is scattered. The one TvT was on Jade. Significant Upsets: Ground Zero BeSt over Jaedong by.Sun over HoeJJa Sniper Ridge Stork over ZerO ...but you'll note that these are all P>Z and have little to do with Terran (and in fact Stork > ZerO was a strategic win more than a true upset since Stork, despite issues, is a top-tier player). Conclusion: I'm not sure how much we can really say about the maps yet. Outlier may be a Protoss map. Ground ZerO has the two big P>Z upsets, but Jaedong played badly, and the map itself is a standard issue 4P map with no distinguishing features. Overall balance isn't bad. 5-4 TvZ, 4-4 PvT - both standard (or better) for Terran. I think it's really just temporarily weird-looking numbers from a limited sample size.

I think FPL goes through the entire half-season minus playoffs. So CJ has 18 left (4 in the round). | ||

Thanks for the responses - highly informative. Regarding the lineups sent, although the sample size is relatively small, the 3 to 2 PvT, and ZvT ratio seems suggestive of at least a potentially significant/meaningful trend. Would you attribute this difference to mostly random factors/small sample size, or to more specific factor (e.g. maps, # of players of each race, etc.). | ||

Wooki may be a slightly better player overall, but his chances of getting played aren't that much higher than  BByong's, and the team points from CJ are going to add up a lot faster than those from KT (lol) | ||

Would you attribute this difference to mostly random factors/small sample size, or to more specific factor (e.g. maps, # of players of each race, etc.). Remove the KHAN-CJ match (7 Protoss!) and the Protoss numbers look normal: but CJ and especially KHAN are deep Protoss teams (and their A+ class Zergs played as well – Terran was just a bad matchup). Other than that, drawing any conclusion will depends hugely on something we don't seem to have solid information on: how lineups are determined. I thought for a while that they've been being determined set by set; other people have said that they're preset and just not published. If they're preset, then I think that – at only 3:2 – it's simply a sample size issue, with a little influence from the matches that have been played. For example: KT lost 1-3 without playing Flash – was he set for the 5th set? Tentatively, I think the Protoss and Terran numbers are sample size. The Zerg numbers, on the other hand, don't have a specific factor you can point to but there's been discussion for a while now about Zerg being the new dominant race. Starleague finals etc. Every team except SKT and KT has at least an A-class (or very close) Zerg, with most having two: ACE has ggaemo (and great?), CJ has EffOrt and Hydra, Eight has Jaedong and Killer, KHAN has Roro (and Shine?), STX has Calm, Woongjin has ZerO and Soulkey. SKT's Zergs s2 and soO aren't good, but are more-or-less Proleague quality and they've been used effectively in the past (and soO at least has made OSLs, as has Hyuk). KT (and STX beyond Calm) have no really good Zergs, but several who are Proleague-competent: Action, Crazy-Hydra, and HoeJJa for KT; by.hero, hyvaa, and Modesty for STX. Similar depth league-wide doesn't exist with the other races. CJ, KHAN, and SKT are Protoss-heavy. ACE has no one (maybe Kal when he joins the team). Eight has Jaehoon and Tyson. KT has Stats (and hopefully Violet). STX has Shuttle; Woongjin has free. And Terran... ACE has FBH, Iris, and Piano. All playing well, but none were ever well-rounded (except Iris, sporadically). CJ has Leta... who's notoriously weak to Protoss, and their next-best is sKyHigh. Eight has Sea (very good) and BaBy (ditto) and nothing else. KHAN has Reality and maybe TurN, but neither are established and they have nothing else. KT has Flash and nothing else. SKT has fantasy and hasn't played him yet and nothing else. STX has Bogus and Classic and maybe Last [i]which makes STX the deepest Terran team in Proleague. Woongjin has Light and maybe hOn_sin's finally learned to play. If we talk about "TBLS", we're actually talking two generations there: Stork and Bisu go back a lot farther than Jaedong and Flash. The after-Jaedong-and-Flash years of recruits simply haven't produced any new hot Terrans: BaBy and Bogus are it, and maybe KHAN's second year players. Protoss has Horang2 and Movie and Jangbi and Shuttle (and even newer, Sun); Zerg's got ZerO and Soulkey and Action and Crazy-Hydra and Killer and (maybe) Modesty and by.hero. I'm tempted to blame SC2, which seems to have pulled more heavily from Terrans in Korea, both legends and recruits. If, for instance, MVP stays with Woongjin we have another legitimate Terran in the league. But I doubt that's the real reason, if only because I can't come up with a particular reason there would be more Terran switching. Anyway, that's a lot of speculation and I wrote an editorial instead of answering the question, but maybe it helped?[/u] | ||

Well, if there was some evidence for an anti-terran bias of some sort, that evidence would influence future trade decisions, so that was the reason I was asking. Based on your analysis regarding relative depth between races, and rather incidental lineup choices, it does not seem like there is a significant anti-terran bias (suggestive at least). So yes, it was helpful with regard to the question  | ||
