Take for example a ultimately balanced game. Each race would have 1/3rd chance to win a GSL. Yet the chance that in 3 GSL's there would have been 3 different races winning would be quite small.. It would be (2/3) * (1/3) = 2/9 not even 25%... So basically people need to learn their statistics a bit and stop making completely idiotic assumptions based on just 3 win results 3 top 4's. A statistic that does get somewhat reasonable is the amount of each races that qualified for GSL 3 or the ones that got S class. GSL 3 saw lots of zergs and terrans, not so many protoss. S-class is slightly more terrans and then about a equal amount of zerg and protoss. Overall you can't say anything from these numbers yet as it's just not enough data. The most reasonable way to balance by numbers is just to look at win %s of matchups in the top of the best ladder imo. If the new master league is a fact that would be a perfect benchmark for racial balance imo. Also the map factor is pretty huge it seems in zerg based matchups so far so the system for map choosing also plays a huge role. GSL 3 was the only GSL without a veto system and had by far the worst results for zerg (most entered and least got through), which could have been a huge part of it. I certainly think some good zergs got knocked out by not being able to thumb down steppes of war for example. | ||

The Clide vs Leenock series was amazing. Watching MarineKingPrime get roflstomped was also a treat. >  | ||

You see: Out of 2 Zergs, 2 made it to champion (100%) Out of 2 Protoss, 1 made champion (50%) Out of 8(!) Terran, 0 became chapmion (0% out of 8!) That's a hilarious way of interpreting the results. There were 27 Zerg players in GSL3. None of them made it to the Ro4. Does that mean that there is a grand total of zero "real pro" Zerg players around? By the same token, you can't claim anything about win or fail rate among an absurdly small sample (in this case the champions out of three GSL seasons). If there are more Terran players than any other races, it would probably go to follow that more of them lose than the other races, unless there were some stupidly extreme level of imbalance favoring them as a race. | ||

There might be balance unit issue but that really hard job to do to make all unit balance, I know Blizzard try really hard for balancing units. Beside people need to adapt whatever patch come out and create new strategies and all other stuff, so just be patient the game just came out, it takes time. | ||

Oh, and MC is so freaking good. He is the only one that is imbalance. New rule: after a certain skill level you must play dial up so that lag balances out your pwnage. | ||

Protoss [ 1 Win ] 3.) shared by Terran and Random [ 0 Wins ] You're seriously using that as balance statistics? I'm betting you didn't take maths at school did you. Or if you did you failed. Blizzard have stated they sometimes balance use the games in tournaments for reference when discussing balance. Never the results. Because they aren't thick as pig shit. Imagine if they did balance on your sample group of the winner of three (three!) tournaments. Zerg could have won all three times and it would mean literally fuck all in terms of balance. Terran player here by the way, trying to maintain some level of dignity for the race. I'm probably wasting my time, there will always be players who will sieze on anything they can to make themselves the victims. Guess what Terran players; if you lose, it's your fault. That goes for everyone, really. I hope this blame culture that's sprung up fucks off soon. | ||

Yes but you have to look at it this way Out of 2 zergs, 2 made it to championship Out of 8 terran, 3 made it to championship Out of 2 Protoss 1 made it to the championship Also in a round of four with many terrans in the ro4 we have seen many tvt's and that will cut down the sucess rate of terran's. In other words, the higher the number of terrans in the Ro4 the higher the number of terrans not making the finals I think the reason that many terrans are having problems is because since the beginning the terran race has never really had any lategame strategies and now the other two races have started to figure out the early timing attacks of terran and so on. Just look at marineking he is one of the top terran players, and guess what he does? Early pressure every time, and once he became figured out, he gets roflstomped by better players | ||

Terran right now just doesn't seem to have a premier "go to" player that can be counted on to be consistently good, at least not in the gsl. Zerg has fruitdealer, nestea, and to a lesser extent players like idra, Check, July etc. Protoss has MC, Genius, and Tester (even though hes failed to qualify lately). I don't really know who the premier terran is. A lot of people are saying that it's Jinro, and it may very well be, but his game does have some holes in it that he needs to work on. Terrans like Rain and Marineking are just being seen as gimmicky and one dimensional. Looking at the code s list, between Nada, Boxer, Ensnare, Jinro, and Clide I would assume that one or more of them will make that leap. | ||
