WEBSITE star.cono.kr

[image loading]

S rank : Terran 30.46% Zerg 28.90% Protoss 40.62%

if im not mistaken these are the current season ladder statistics anyone able to confirm that?

when looking at S rank race distribution in 2020 S rank was mostly equal divided upon the races around 30% each race

so discuss !? or not (anyone know if there is any discussion on this in korean community ygclan etc or a non topic?)

alot of factors have an impact on S rank race distribution i could see the current ladder map pool being a factor etc

anyway 40% of players in S is protoss now..

check the site.. 42.57% P on ladder overall if u want to know

and besides you can judge the S rank statistics by itself dont need to include the rest of the ladder perse
it gives you what it is S rank race distribution in S.

Well if 42-43% of the whole ladder is playing P then P is actually underrepresented at the top rank. 2% doesn't seem that significant of an amount in any case so the results are in line with what you would expect.

keep in mind we are speaking about the top 1% here so just having a bigger player base of protoss users doesnt make a big factor here its remarkable that of those 1% there is an abundance of protoss players

lets be real when it comes to competitive games in general people tend to choose the fastest easiest way to succeed
its human behavior choosing the path of least resistance

starcraft is absolutely no different ladder is 43% protoss because it is the easy race to play and climb the ladder with & get some succes in relatively shorter term than picking z or t on ladder.

the least percentage of people playing protoss become S rank. It should be normal if 43% player base --> 43% S rank, but if 43% player base protoss --> only 40% S rank protosses, then it's only clear that it's harder to get S rank as protoss. Statistically speaking, obviously.

these statistics show that you have the least chance of getting S rank as protoss if u pick protoss the other races are over populated in S obviously

What does this even mean

If half the population plays a race and we assume perfect balance across all races, then we would expect half the population will be that race at the top level.

balance is only relevant at the highest level because they're the ones who actually play the game properly, everyone else is just looking to blame something other than themselves

you'd feel better about yourself if you played a moba ^^
