I seem to encounter massive ammounts of protoss, no matter what hours I play. Of course this is not conclusive evidence, so I'm asking TL what races they mostly encounter, and which race they think is most popular on iCCup.

Poll: What race is most popular on iCCup?
(Vote): Zerg
(Vote): Terran
(Vote): Protoss

couldn't we get a conclusive statistic from the ICCup admins instead of doing this somewhat subjective poll?

I actually went to iCCup, but I could not find any statistics. I can imagine it would demand a lot of computing power, since you'd had to account for all matches ever played by every player :o

Not really, for ex. if someone plays over 80% of games with one race he could be considered playing just that race. Actually this can be done even with relatively simple web script analyzing iccup pages.

Protoss is definitely the most common among more casual iccup players judging by the iccup map stats for python, destination, and andromeda

For maps that are more likely to be played by top-level players like outsider and god's garden, the map stats suggest zerg is the most common

Yeh, most people near the top of the ladder are zergs.

Most of my games r vs Z. And most of them go 3hatch, so bad games T_T. Then I have pvp games. And only few games vs T's... Sucks, cause PvT is my best MU...

From my experience Zerg and Protoss are about equally popular. Terran lags behind a lot.

Actually by looking at race distribution on maps thats a conclusion you cant draw. Outsider has an even spread, while destination and python (esp python with over 40000 games) has way more protoss games than any other.

On gods garden Z is ahead of P and T with about 500 games which is roughly 14%.
On python P is ahead of z with 20%, with almost 200.000 games played.

The gods garden factor can be explained by the fact that Z has high win rations on that map, with 54% against T and 53.75% against protoss. Gods garden becomes a natural choice for Z players.
P's dominance on Python cannot be explained in the same manner. This indicates that there are way more P in the lower levels, but a more even spread at the top.

I play zerg- but i never end up playing terran....ever. Its really sad because i love zvt and yet i never find any ones to play against. Instead i always have to deal with protoss players. Last night i played 6 games on icup.

zerg: 1
Terran: 1
Protoss: 4

lol good thing im good at zvp

Why do people hate their mirror match-ups? It's where you get to see who is the better Terran.. or Zerg.. or EVEN PROTOSS.

It seems fairly balanced between P/Z in my experience with T being a bit behind. Maybe 39/35/26

Ill refere back to when i played 20 games in one day.

17 of them were vs protoss 2 zerg and a terran.

Protoss is the most popular race because everyone is a fag with them

58 vs zerg
72 vs toss
33 vs terran

The low vsT percentage for me is because most people instantly ban you from their game if they see it's a TvT so it's not a very reliable statistic.

When i was protoss, i vsed even protoss/zerg and played like 10% terrans (luckily)

as zerg, i vs 45% terrans, 50% protoss, 5% zergs.

It seems alot of protoss vs zerg the most, with protoss close behind, and terran/zerg play protoss a shitload. I love pvz though so i'd be happy.

I play Z and almost every time I join a game on destination it's a T who made it and he goes for some lame T strategy on that map, while whenever I join a game on python (not by choice but because its the only game up) it's almost always a Protoss who made it.

but yeah like 50% of my games are vs protoss.
