It was fun some time ago when I could pick zerg on ladder and play ZvT because I love that matchup from both sides but now I can't do that because there is like no Terrans. If you could only pick the race you want to play vs or have a non-retarded custom game mode... >( | ||

Your Games simply are simply not a big enough sample size to make any accurate observations on the actual situation. While it is highly improbable that you get that many ZvZ, it is not impossible. http://www.sc2ranks.com/stats/region/all/all/all Sc2Rank Stats seem to indicate that Z is underrepresented. I would also quote sc2ranks, but its stats seem to have blown up. But a more useful stat would be to look at the global distribution in masters, where I believe there are more zergs. | ||

A couple of seasons ago I got sick of TvT, so I downvoted Lost Temple and Delta Quadrant and barely saw any after that sounds like season one... | ||

So if you are not a progamer it doesn't matter what race you play with and because the "ladder metagame" (lool) looks just like how Stephano is playing zvt and zvp people switch to zerg because it's hard to play against + all the people that goes with the flower of the month to collect wins. And add that zerg is like the most popular race already in sc2, plus that Stephano is like the foreigner hope so I can imagine even more people playing zerg just because he does.

When I unban Shattered temple, i don't get that often but when I do, it's also ~95% TvT. When I have SP unbanned I notice I play quite a lot of TvTs. Though ofc this is anecdotal and doesn't prove anything. | ||

Since it is the only one match where you can play aggresive since the first min with Z, it is the most thriving mu at the moment. In zvp and zvt, most of the time game begins at min 8 or 9... | ||

Nah I love it too, I'm in heaven right now with so much ZvZ. I get a ton of ZvPs though as well and hate that matchup. I propose you take my ZvPs and I'll relieve you from your ZvZs  | ||

Though ofc this is anecdotal and doesn't prove anything. I'm pretty sure that it's first matching then map selection. That's why the number of bans is in a way that even if none of your bans match you have one match left (7 maps, 3 bans each). If a map was selected first, it would lead to a reduced opponent pool resulting longer wait times and worse match-quality. | ||
