Because there is a large number of Korean Terrans you cant' use that to discuss the balance. Pointless and whining thread imo

edit: Oh and in other thread we got another numbers of Terran ( 1 or 2 lol )

Quit being so cute... word you are looking for is "majority" not "plurality." Dictionary definitions do indeed say majority refers to more than half, but in a societal context it is appropriate to use when one thing has the greatest representation. Plurality refers to the amount by which the one (T for example) group is greater than the other (Z for example)... Also for this to be realistic study of balance, then you should be looking a proportions.

So if there was only 1 pro Zerg in the world, and he had a 100% win rate in every matchup vT and vP, Zerg would still be underpowered since they are at most 1/32 in every round of 32?

Definitely doesn't feel like it.

Maybe because most people don't.

Terran seems to be the most popular race with Koreans, I suppose Nada, Boxer and Flash have all drawn in a lot of fans over the years. Add to that the fact that Terran was the strongest race for a long period of sc2's history and we got a shit ton of T's in GSL. Despite T's still slightly ahead in numbers there can be no mistake to what is the strongest race right now, at all levels, take last gsl season as a good clue to how a lot of results have been looking the last few months;

hahahaha I dont even...

These threads, no matter how well-writted they might be, always evolve into balance-wining / flaming threads.

Haha so fun to se the terrans squirming trying to undermine the objective numbers to support their view... Cheers with your tears.

So you think it's reliable to refer to stats from 1 or 2 years ago, with a total different patch situation and total different maps, to discuss the current balance? Is that what you want to tell us?

either way, the thread is totally obsolete, since we now have the first season in GSL history, where terran is not the most dominant race in Code S

If there's more Terran in Round of 32 shouldn't a Terrain aside from MVP be winning GSLs? Or at least getting to the finals? Is it more telling to look at Round of 32 or Round of 8 onwards?

Specifically with regards to the statistics talk - there's a common thing we're seeing here. "the sample size is too small" - we've been seeing this statement made for the past few years now, whether it be true or false(in the context used).

If we really can't go by the stats presented here - there's no true authority to state where and when the sample size would be deemed "large enough" without accusations of cherry-picking the data to suit a dark agenda.

The data can be interpreted in just about any way possible. Let's look at this current GSL season, where T and Z both have healthy representation, with some new and old faces representing each sides. We have P with the lowest representation.

No matter what happens this season - people will come to conclusions which line up against what they already pre-condition themselves to believe, which leads to angry balance talk. If we end up with a PvP finals...what does that mean?

That it will be 2nd PvP final while we had 2 ZvZ and 5 TvT.''The sample size is too small'' buit it is formed by qualifciatons (Code A and Up and Down) where always dominates.

Are you actually watching the games or you just using statistics just because statistics is a best argument? If you really do, I hope you will reconsider the whole post.

People figured out that you can force zergs to do anything besides 1a with BL/winfestors. As statistics show, not every zerg player can do anything besides that.

I would say Terran was the strongest race early on only because of the small maps...

So they nerfed early game and made maps bigger.

I wonder do you guys watch GSL or only finals? In Code A and Up and Downs always have better results. For example this season PvT:18-30.
