I've never heard about this. From what I've seen on the EU ladder (1000 point masters), there is a pretty even distribution of the races. http://sc2ranks.com/stats/league/all/1/all As you can see, it seems pretty even overall. There is a slight bias towards Zerg in Grandmasters, but who's to say thats due to imbalance? As someone who played on NA and now plays on EU regularly, I can say that the NA ladder is really Zerg biased, but the EU ladder is surprisingly balanced in terms of race distribution. Maybe you have bad luck, I don't know. | ||

As people have stated this is most likely due to more terran players. And that's my point. The game is NOT imbalanced. All the shifts have served to change the way the game is played. But it's not like all of a sudden the game is crazy imbalanced towards zerg. Even with the patch the overall race representation hasn't changed that much. Players adapt. This is just a reminder of how slowly player representation changes, even when massive changes (e.g. patch 1.4.3) occur. Just give the game time, enjoy what you watch, and wait for HotS if you are unhappy since there just isn't enough time to change the game by then (unless you just want to imbalance it completely, that's easy). | ||

Zergs used to play only ling-bane-muta till they discover the all around unit: the infestor.Now we must deal with all this stuff,and Bomber just show it on the IPL its possible without any buffs to Ravens,but still pretty difficult.It requires great multitasking,macro and micro to try equal Zergs macro,and not everyone is able. | ||

![[image loading]](http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/images2/6/6c/GSLraceW.png) Personally, I don't think any balance-related conclusions should be drawn from this. | ||

Terran was always the least represented race in all leagues above Gold (excluding KR ladder) Actual distributions were something like 40-30-20 with the rest 10% left for randoms and deviations from the norm. | ||

EU has always had more z, similar to korea having more t. 2. 200 players is a ridiculously small sample size if you want any meaningful statistics. You could just as eaily say, "Zerg is only doing so well because there aren't enough terrans around to challenge them" 3. It's not as if EU GM is exactly the pinnacle of starcraft play. 4. Just because lots of high level players are playing a race doesn't necessarly means it's because the race is OP. If you follow the history of the metagame and patches back there usually aren't all that many people who switch race depending on patch notes or whatever. Imo there's so many zergs around because the HotS changes for zerg look awesome and the changes for P and T look uninspiring to say the least. Also, i'm aware it's against the TL rules to make a post that complain about fungal so to clarify i'm not saying that zerg is or is not OP, just that quoting statistics with no understanding of the data behind them is no way to prove a point. Also omg fungal so op. | ||

Thanks for the graph. The only balance related conclusion I'm trying to make is that there isn't a massive imbalance in the game. Seems like every time we get a mirror final there is just so much balance whine, or with all the patchzerg talk. Trying to point out that it's never the race, it's often just one person going on a hot streak. The actual race distribution just hasn't shifted since the game started basically, despite how differently the matchups play out. This goes to show how slow balance changes as well as how minor the differences are. I would like to think that we should concentrate on changing the game not to change balance, as in which race wins more. We should be changing the game to make matchups more exciting while not favoring a particular race. | ||
