You should only count games that are vs other diamond players, and go by specific matchups as well. While I'll agree that this isn't end all be all data (Certainly, the sample size is still small), actual data from aggregate results is a lot more significant than the anecdotal evidence that's been dominating the discussion thus far. A little induction would suggest it means each race has a success rate against the other two races that averages out equally. (TvP + TvZ)/2 = (PvT + PvZ)/2 = (ZvT + ZvP)/2 with a deviation of <2% at both diamond level and general play. That means that if Terran were truly overpowered against Zerg and dominating that match-up, then Terran would have to be equally underpowered against Protoss to generate such a close winning percentage to the other 2 races. Until that result is ruled out, its a possibility and Rock>Paper>Scissor is not the intended balance, but I for one, would be surprised if that were the case. Particularly because of how consistent the numbers are at both the general and top level. | ||

EDIT: Global ladder information is possible too, I guess. | ||

Particularly because of how consistent the numbers are at both the general and top level. There's more to it than that because it assumes that all races are rated equally. The matchmaking system works to ensure 50% win ratios. If we want to use this kind of information it has to be based on things like average player ratings by race or some aggregate stat like average player rating/# of games | ||

Even better if you make it an open source program on something like github or sourceforge so more people can pitch in on it. Yeah my intention was to run it for US and Asia as well, currently doing US as I finished iterating through 10k EU profile numbers (got around 6k actual hits = profiles with 1v1 games played). Takes forever though, for a great part because of the subpar implementation I guess  As I said I just threw it together to get some funny numbers fast, I'm sort of a sucker for statistics as well.I don't think what was used here is very useful as a baseline for more extensive analysis as the HTML parsing is very quick&dirty  Anyhow if someone is really interested the (Java) code is here.what website is this data from? http://beta-eu.battle.net/sc2/en/ - the profile URLs are of type http://beta-eu.battle.net/sc2/en/profile/PROFILE_NUMBER/1/ , where PROFILE_NUMBER is simply a (roughly) sequential index starting from 1 so it's possible to iterate through them. | ||

I'd like to update my ladder analysis post with confirmed results beyond the diamond level. Hmm, you mean just the amount of players in each of Bronze/Silver/Gold/Plat/Dia? From the EU data I gathered already, this is the distribution: Bronze: 1424 Silver: 1579 Gold: 1795 Platinum: 584 Diamond: 600 Probably very skewed from the very low amount of games played and the vast majority of people going in Bronze/Silver/Gold from placement matches. | ||

Yeah I don't see anything conclusive yet, we'll probably just have to wait for more data. It would be pretty strange to have them 10%/10%/30%/25%/25%. Diamond makes sense because you have to be promoted into it, but we may have to wait a few more days to get some more concrete info about the other leagues. Thanks! | ||

These statistics diamond league is hilarious I mean seriously.. the # of baddies i've met in the ladder so far..too funny, I'm surprised they are in the 11%.. around a 50% win ratio all round..I'd say that is pretty balanced.

It's kinda funny how the drop off is regardless of placement. | ||
