What are some maps with strong
P > Z > T > P?

What features would such a map have?

I was wondering why the "standard race imba" (T>Z>P>T) persists when maps are a balancing factors. It's easy to find Maps with the "normal" imba (T>Z>P>T) and maps with 2 MUs reverse-imba (Sparkle is P > Z > T = P), but I haven't seen one with all the MUs reverse-imba.

(I looked at https://tl.net/forum/brood-war/514719-all-time-broodwar-most-balanced-maps-ranked and spot checked some bottom ranked maps, but I couldn't find one with the feature I'm looking for).

I just want to say Sparkle thing is wrong. Could be either P > Z > T > P or P = T > Z. If P > Z and Z > T then T cant be = to P. Otherwise it says T is simultaneously equal and less than Z which is nonsense.

To clarify, what i mean is:
PvZ is P favored.
ZvT is Z favored.
TvP is neutral for both races.

There's no contradiction in this, and (as far as I remember) that's what the statistics show.

I'm not saying Terran and Protoss are equally strong on the map, just that TvP is balanced. Apologies if my language was unclear

Assuming this is ZvP winrate where > 50% is zerg favored (I think this is from the JD thread), this shows me maps where P > Z, but of these I think only Radeon has T > P and Z > T (and only barely). Thanks for the data!
