Not exactly sure how players are distributed into divisions, but considering that many of the top players are going to hit Diamond much quicker than most it makes since that many of them got placed into the same ones.

Terran only has a slight lead? Guess what needs a buff!

Would like to see actual matchup data (ie tvz tvp pvz etc)

looks like protoss dominated everything but top 100

Which seems generally consistent with the idea that Terran is overpowered, but Protoss is easier to play.

It also seems to indicate that at any skill level outside of high diamond, the latter effect predominates. If you're a protoss player, unless you're in high diamond, you really don't have much to complain about with regard to Terran imbalance.


Or simply that Protoss is the most popular race and therefore there are more people better at playing it, even though it might not be stronger balance-wise?

As someone else mentioned, throughout beta there was roughly equal representation of all the races. I don't believe this would have changed drastically at release, and even if it did, players who have only played the game for a week are unlikely to have a major effect on these numbers--most of these players probably played through the beta.

This.

I'm pretty sure that TvZ is pretty heavily imbalanced, but I'm also pretty sure a lot of Protoss players are overstating the imbalance of TvP.

I think part of the reason is also because Zerg is ugly and less player use Zerg. I think an overall race breakdown will be interesting info here.

Also, if players just finished a campaign with Terran, it wouldn't shock me if it was the most popular race to start with. Not that this should change the top 100 too strongly, but it may have some effect.

IdrA's 67-10 (87.01%) is kinda stunning. I'm sure there are days when he just doesn't lose. He starts in the morning, plays 10+ hours and goes to bed undefeated.

they split china and korea players up ladder-wise at beginning of phase 2.

china/taiwan play one server, korea plays the other. any way to get those ratings on here also? and what about SEA?

Well top players don't really care for ladders, it is not very good training : too much cheese, bad players do not make you better, and there is no consistency from one match to the other.
They still play it to keep their reflexs up or if no strong friend is available.

But yeah top players have a walk in the park on the ladder : )

I thought there was Taiwanese server up. Pretty sure Sen was playing in Chinese, not Korean.

I know, my point was there could be a 1000pt achievement: "Win against IdrA on the ladder, without attacking in the first 5 minutes" (i.e. no cheese).

They play on the Taiwan server - that is what artosis is implying. There is no mainland china server as the game is not released, and will probably not release for a little while

Representation data is not the same as win percentages. Zerg could have a 70% matchup against the other races and still have 15% representation. Don't assume causality.

1000x this.

We need matchup data (ex. TvZ TvP PvZ win percentages)

I suspect (as many would)
TvZ is T>Z
TvP is even
PvZ is even

also, we need matchup data for each map.

Unfortunately. Matchup data is not available. Or at least in a format I have access to (battle.net Web site)
