Also once you vote please explain a little behind your vote. I picked zerg the strongest because they are so strong late game and can switch techs so fast. Their spells are extremly strong and broodlords are just plain imbalanced. I picked protoss as the weakest because of their limited mobility early on (besides proxy pylons) as well as the weakness of all templar tech (dts, hts, archons).

I have a feeling this will not be asymmetric.

Ok.... since this poll is pretty crazy voting going on right now.... please dont vote if your not in the beta or if you dont feel your skilled enough to understand the imbalances of ALL matchups. Dont vote for protoss being the strongest just because you think immortals are OP

OMG... Zerg is by far the strongest Race, if you count Top-Tournaments around the world, there are about 50% Zerg in the Top-4!

Protoss is only "strong" atm, because timing-pushes are so strong and most ppl don't know anything else but timing-pushes, cuz they're noobs. -.-°

Terran is easier if you wanna cheese a lot, but that does not mean the race is particularly good! If you want to play a solid build and have a strong macro-game, Zerg is way ahead of the other races.

KR vs US vs EU: In Korea, Zerg needs to be nerfed because Zerg is so dominant. For EU/US, Zerg needs to be buffed. At this point, due to limited sample size, nobody knows for sure what races are the most powerful.


From the new write up at Blizzard HQ. And according to Idra/Artosis, the koreans are way ahead of foreigners in SC2 strategy and probably skill level. So Idk. I didn't vote since I'm not in the beta yet.

^ beat me to it

The article on the main page has a neat thing about the zerg race:


KR vs US vs EU: In Korea, Zerg needs to be nerfed because Zerg is so dominant. For EU/US, Zerg needs to be buffed. At this point, due to limited sample size, nobody knows for sure what races are the most powerful.

The biggest problem is separated servers, this will lead into absolutely not equal skill level around the world. I hope they will find a way to make this work in actual release. And of course koreans are in the lead when they play the game more than 12 hours a day. Well some foreigners might have the time to do it also, but they still suck anyways compared to koreans (because they play against bad opponents that don't play 12 hours a day). I can't be sure right now but it seems that the trend is same as in brood war and it means koreans will own rest of the world, despite our hopes that in sc2 foreigners can be equal.
Brood War is the best RTS that has ever been created.

lol.. interesting to look at the thoughts of ppl since the poll requires us to vote for one race in each question only, and not rank them.

Zerg got a huge buff in patch 9. While the unit stats were mostly nerfs, the new cancel egg mechanic definitely outweighs those nerfs by far. Zerg definitely is ahead right now.
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

I would have to say in Europe, I think Zerg are the strongest and Terran/Protoss are on pretty equal footing.

Didn't Artosis cover that team cup recently?

From memory, China won the tournament 2-0 but they only beat USA 4-3 and they beat Korea 4-1. USA beat Korea 4-3, so at least on a tournament level the asians aren't legions ahead just yet (off that result).
my hair is a wookie, your argument is invalid

Protoss players vote that Zerg or Terran is the strongest, whilst their race is the weakest
Zerg players vote that Protoss is the strongest, whilst their race is the weakest
Terrans vote that either Protoss or Zerg is the strongest, whilst their race is the weakest.

The result; a biased and faulty data-chart.
If it involves luck, skill and money ... Im probably already playing it.

Well you can't really expect a poll to not have bias. The thing that confuses me is why theres two polls when the first one answers the question fully, obvioulsy it shows which is the strongest and the weakest. The second poll is completely useless and just screws with the numbers.

z weakest and strongest lol

btw the majority r z users atm so they will automatically get better votes because ppl favor their own races in polls

sry but polls like this r useless just for this reason

and patch 9 just came out so its pretty damn impossible for anyone to say for real what they think without testing it for a week or so

btw i voted zerg is best and terran is weakest, and i have statistics to support that^^
