Are there any stats whatsoever to back this up? has anyone even looked at the ladders and done some calculations to show that Z is dominant on the asian servers?

I don't have the exact stats, but it's very, very obvious that Zerg is dominant on the asian servers >.>

7 of the 10 top players are all Z, or something like that, as well as their higher win rate (I don't know the exact numbers, but it is significantly higher than the other races, for sure)

Yeah and It's obvious that I have a 12 inch penis as well, but I still don't think it really warrants discussion unless I'm willing to measure it right? It's not that I don't believe some of the anecdotes claiming that zerg is dominant on asian servers, its that I actually like to see proof, numbers that support claims.

No numbers from after the reset fiasco or the last couple patches.

What is not current?
One snapshot from the ladder was taken today/yesterday(May 3) and the rest were from April 18 and 23 before the ladder reset/bug has occurred.

Because the reset made the ladder un-broken, right? If anything, anything after the reset should be considered null, due to the ladder system being dead.

Oh, and if you can point out any changes that SIGNIFICANTLY changed the way the game was played (disregarding the larva bug), I'd gladly take a look at it. If there wasn't a significant change, then the dominance is likely to continue; and there sure aren't enough subtle changes to make a difference.

Didn't artosis mention Z were still having their way with the Asian realm? I know his last cast Hawanni mentioned 80% of the players in the tourney (XPlay LAN) were zerg.
Samwise: You don't want to play Dustin [Browder]. He can't even beat the UI, let alone the AI. -

Could the higher winrate of the Zerg players in Korea simply be attributed to a higher quantity of Zerg players in Korea?

I don't know the racial distribution or tendencies of Koreans, but I remember hearing that a lot of them play Zerg. If, say, 7 out of 10 players are Zerg, Zerg would have a higher chance of achieving a greater win rate. That chance would only inflate if all the better players believed that Zerg was also the superior race, irregardless of whether it was or not.
I am not very good at playing StarCraft.

It shouldn't mean anything. The winrate % is the average win-rate per player, meaning it would only make a difference if a majority of the Zerg were outliers.

Also, irregardless isn't a word >.>

Yes, a lot of people take time out of their day to tell me that. That's part of the reason why I keep using it, haha.

Anyway, I honestly don't even know if there is a bias towards Zerg on the Korean servers.

we won't know if it's balanced for a year?

we're not sure if it will ever be balanced enough for a scene that bw has right now in korea

(certainly it won't as balanced or more balanced than scbw, thats impossible)

Isn't that called...Trolling? >.>

Anyway, as I said, factional preference doesn't matter at all until outliers come in to play (and only a significant amount)

This is just side-talk... Korean z's are not better than usa/europeans atm. in fact I think they play stubborn and worse. I haven't lost vs a single zerg as terran in probably 15 games. If korean t's cant figure out the formula its sad. Anyone wanting to see the strats I use PM me or ask for link.
If its not too much to ask, I'd like my stats returned. I feel I deserve them - Combat-EX
