Okay, yeah that's probably the best method we have so far for such a list.
You can ignore my matchups comment, it wasn't really founded.... probably partly was due to not knowing your process. But arranging by matchups just shows more options... Like, if you showed the top 10 balanced TvZ maps, ZvP maps, and PvT maps, then it'd be more variety while maintaining as much balance or better, since you compromised the list slightly by adding maps with an unknown element for one matchup (you failed to mention which race or if it really was only a little, even if least). I'd of course be willing to make these sorts of lists sometime if you don't want to. And of course, we can go the extra mile and list Old-Only and New-Only versions of the lists, and a mixed for people that want it simple.

I see your point. Well, since there seems to be interest in such lists, I will make them. While I currently have to write a post for my blog, I will try to make them after that.
As for why I did not mention where the maps on the bottom are imbalances...well, that is what the TLPD links are for. If the viewers are click away from finding out which matcup is imbalanced, I think it is a waste of time to write where a certain map is imbalanced.
And for those of you complaining about the maps on the list. I am sorry, but statistically, these are the most balanced maps of all time. I was suprised at some of the statistics myself. For example, I was shocked to find out that Destination is a Protoss favoured map on PvT, even though, as a Protoss player, I cannot count the number of times I lost on that map due to a contain. But unless the real Steve was tampering with the results, I cannot really challenge those figures. :/ Basically, it is the fault of the progamers that the statistics are as they are.
