Doh, you dont even know the initial distribution of players/race before the qualifiers even started, how can you draw any kind of conclusion? If you look at the "notables that didnt qualify" and sum that up, you might even summarize terran as under powered..

Each season seems to pass by quickly and now only the Finals are left for GSL Season 2.
The Season 3 Preliminaries will be next week on Nov. 15th and 16th.

The maps for the Preliminary Rounds are,
Set 1 : Xel’Naga Caverns
Set 2 : Metalopolis
Set 3 : Scrap Station



The proportions for each race are,
Terran : 39.5%
Protoss : 33%
Zerg : 23.9%
Random : 3.6%

The matches will be best of 3 matches.
We hope that everyone coming over for the preliminaries does well and have fun participating.

Thank you.

I really feel the races are balanced now, but maps have a deciding influence on the outcome. Maybe its time GOMTV put a strong eye on this, or get some maps of their own.

Weren't they supposed to use custom maps starting in the semi of GSL1 or something ?

If we take these statistics into account, Zerg is doing way better than expected assuming a balanced game on a balanced map. Scrap Station is obviously a Zerg favoured map, should have played Shakuras instead.

If there are no balance changes during this GSL I don't expect anything less than a Zerg finals.
I think esports is pretty nice.

SO glad to see ret/jinro/idra/haypro qualifying. At the same time seeing the low amount of protoss really sucks. I wish inc or huk had qualified as well.

So, to begin with, the race distribution looked like:
Terran : 39.5%
Protoss : 33%
Zerg : 23.9%
Random : 3.6%

And the qualifiers turned out to look like:

Terran: 37.5 %
Protoss: 18.75 %
Zerg: 42.2 %
Random: 1.55 %

Hm, protoss seems a bit off. But it has obviously more reasons than just map/race balance.

The Initial distribution was something like

27% Zerg
38% Terran
30% Protoss

Was here in the forums, but dont know where anymore.

Wont join the balance discussion. We will enjoy GSL 3 now and I guess Blizzard will react in the December Patch they announced.

Big Thanks to motbob for his coverage!

Edit: ok, the guys above delivered the exact data

Saechiis... T_T Stat 101 please.

If we take these statistics into account, Zerg is doing way better than expected assuming a balanced game on a balanced map and players of even skill level or any N -> positive infinity of players with random levels of skill.

fixed.
