Let's go over the maps:
Calm Before the Storm ZvP: 3-7(30%)
Crossfire SE 1.1 ZvP: 5-4 (55.6%)
Dual Sight 1.1 ZvP: 6-9 (40%)
Shakuras Plateau 2.0 ZvP: 6-11 (35.3%)
Antiga Shipyard 1.2 ZvP: 13-10 (56.5%)


3 Maps favoured protoss, 2 favoured zerg. Arguably you can say that dual sight is a bad map for ZvP because you can't get a fast third. That leaves 2 maps HEAVILY favoured for protoss and 2 Slightly favoured for zerg. So yeah, stop QQing.

Nice sample size you have here, drawing balance conclusions out of 10 games is a useful talent toi have.

If I go over all the games where players had comparable skill on all versions of the map it would take too much time to make a very simple point: The maps had nothing to do with the outcome of the series. Crossfire and dual sight are maps known to be good for zerg. Yet MC took dual sight. Shakuras and calm before the storm are good maps for protoss. Yet DRG took Calm before the storm(don't give a shit about mc going for carriers, if he did that do show off it's his own damn fault he lost). Antiga shipyard is a close to balanced map on ZvP.


Rethink that one

Calm before the storm is a bad map for protoss? It's 3-7 since there's no other versions of calm before the storm.
Shakuras plateau when you add the stats for both versions is 17-24 in favour of protoss.


http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=288735#5

Its really not 17-24.

I took the stats from TLPD korea since I consider that the metagame differences make their stats more accurate. Anyway, do you believe that mc lost because of the maps?


Nah, he lost because of the sentries forcing his hand to all in. Clever play be DRG, the correct response by MC, the even more correct response by DRG after the damage.

I just get very annoyed when anyone mentions map balance. The fact is that we don't have the data to declare any map to be imbalanced, because there isn't sufficient data to say so. Only the maps that have been played a lot on, and haven't been changed too much (Shakuras, TDA, Metal/Shattered to a point) can we have even a small discussion about balance.
Then my point came across. I don't think any map right now is bad enough to be unplayable for one race. Kinda like how DRG took calm even though I see it as a good map for protoss because it's easy to get on 3 bases(despite the low number of games that happened there), and how mc took dual sight even though it's considered a good map for zerg because it's hard to get a 3rd base there.


That I most definitely agree with. Also, GomPlayer needs to fuck off because it keeps closing....
