Hmmm how are the numbers with individual leagues as well? That's really surprising tbh
|
I thought it was pretty known by now that statistically Z>P T>Z P>T.
However if you play 124-110 as in the TvZ in this example, it's not really that much of an imbalance to talk about.
|
I was under the impression PvT was like 52% not 56 though
|
Like 2-3 months ago it was 53 - 53 - 51 I think, though I can't find the thread... That was when terran was really strong in proleague - they didn't have a weak mu.

Maybe it had something to do with Flash playing at 90% winaratio for a time:O
|
I think it has to do with that zergs now have two S-class players opposed to the other races who have only one.
And wow, I didnt know there so many protoss with such good win rates vs zerg! (Movie at #3 makes me so happy and he faced JD a lot too )
|
Nah I think it's fair to say that Flash played, atleast in proleague for a time, at an inflationary level.
Even that would dissipate over a high enough number of games though.
|
just wanted to say. theres a typo xD he spelled imminent as immanent.
|
I want Baby far, far, far away from the PR.
|
Bisu being clutch in 2 ace situations :D i think that deserves a raise in PR
|
bisu should get 3rd place if not 2nd

Flash, Light, Sea, Mind, Baby, Midas etc. they were all on fire.

"I have a strong belief that the games a player loses tells you a lot more about his skill level than the games where he wins. Flash's losses indicate that he has no single weakness in his game - with one or two exceptions, every single one of Flash's losses has been a hard fought battle into the late game."
I don't think that's a smart idea. Because that's the advantage Terran as a race has: all their games, against all races, usually take quite some time. The deciding factors may be early in the game, but Terran is able to hold themselves pretty good until late game if they play it fairly safe (which is the norm these days), and maybe even make a comeback with a bit of luck. The other two races often don't have that luxury. Especially Zerg totally lacks that luxury - one mistake early on and you definitely lose early due to a timing attack or simply by being overwhelmed, with no chance to take it into late-game. And there's the ZvZ matchup which is usually finished in under 12 minutes or so. TvT, TvZ and TvP are *all* drawn-out macro games by their nature. So the ability of a Terran to often take an early-game disadvantage and "delay" it so the loss occurs in late-game, is always given thanks to the defensive advantages of the race. That's why it also rarely looks like a Terran is "completely dominated" when he loses.

Well, I can't help but think that many people on TL believe that terran players are doing better than they are in reality. I've already posted the stats from PL, which certainly doesn't show any terran dominance, quite the contrary.
As for individual leagues I would be very careful looking only at stats, because there are too few games played. They are also much more inflated when somebody like Flash or JD come and demolish everyone.
What's quite interesting though is looking at the semifinalist from last two OSLs&MSLs: Zerg - Shine, Calm, Calm, Effort, Kwanro, Jaedong, Jaedong Protoss - Movie, Kal, Kal, Pure, Free Terran - Flash, Flash, Flash, Flash
As you may see, for zerg and protoss there is quite a number of different players. But for terran, there is only Flash. Flash is the one and only terran who was able to compete with zerg and protoss players in individual leagues for the past year or so.
Terran players in general are doing absolutely horrible (except for winners league, where at least Light was tearing it up as well).

Flash is #1 because he is the only player that can make Jaedong look like a n00b! I mean those 3*14cc where outrageous. HEHE! Also Bisu still has nightmares with Flash cheese him out of the MSL back in 2007.

The problem is in my opinion that with the mechanical level of todays zergs Hive tech can make for too easy wins.

I remember that blasphemous double ZvZ finals *shudder*. Also it was four different zerg players, so it wasn't even player imba (like in case with Flash), but really zerg imba for that moment.
And even before that, it was only Fantasy from all terran players who could get into semis/final of individual leagues for some time, while we witnessed things like all protoss semis in MSL.
This makes Flash achivements this year even more impressive...

I see a lot of people excited over Bisu's play over the last month here, and I must admit, I am an unabashed Bisu fan. His play over the last month, in PvZ and PvP at least, has looked dominating and gritty-effective at varying times. However, I feel as though his PvT has began looking shaky recently, from not being able to seize the momentum against against Midas, to not being able to defeat Sea with Carriers. I feel as though Bisu is getting by on raw multitask, army control and (to some extent) macro, however, his play in PvT recently has not looked expansive enough, and his large army composition leaves something to be desired.
Ideally, vs Terran, you'd want a shuttle or two, filled with reavers (and zealots/dt for mine bombing), an arb or two for stasis, multiple temps for storms, and the bulk of the units being goons/zeal in a 3:2 ratio (estimation). Bisu's army composition vs Midas was Arch/Zeal/Arb, almost to the exclusion of Goon/temp, which are crucial to deal damage and break the terran push. Let's hope that it was just a lapse of judgement over a game or two, and not indicative of a weakness, that may stop Bisu from making a deep SL run.

I really think BeSt deserves a low spot. Despite failing in both individual leagues in june, he is 6-1 this month going 5-0 in the playoffs, winning most of his games in a dominating fashion. I'm one of the biggest Bisu fans around, but BeSt is a huge part of their success also. I mean I really have trouble finding 5 guys better than him right now. Bisu, Jaedong, Flash, Fantasy and Effort, obviously, and I would probably keep Sea and Stats above him depending on how MSL and OSL go, but I think the 8 spot would make sense for Best.

At the very least BeSt needs honorable mention in the comments
