Getting 2nd or 3rd place at a major LAN event carries a lot more prestige and reward than winning 10 small weekly online events, but if you win lots of small events then it may be more profitable than getting 8th at a major event.
I also think this would a good addition to this list. In most cases, the larger the prize pool brings the best competition out so using total winnings gives more value than only tournament wins by itself.

Actually, it does mean that. No it doesn't mean it's OP. If blizzard released heart of the swarm before wings of liberty, I guarantee that we would see more zergs than terrans.
total bullshit, no top players pick terran because they were the focus of the SC2 campaign. That would be absurd.

From that list-
Gold- 21 T 14 P 1 Z
Silver- 18 T 11 P 7 Z
Total- 39 T 25 P 8 Z

wow, pretty depressing statistics
|
If cool had played in all those tournaments, I guess he would have won them all. Not sure if raw data like that can be used to draw realistic conclusions, but I'm not sure.

MorroW bonjwa?
haha, kidding
|
Id like to see the stats on top 8s and final fours aswell, it certainly seems to always be mostly TvTs
|
Oh and another thing, most of these terran players are devoting a huge chunko f their practice time to TvT, thats my impression anyway, might not actually be the case.

I love threads like this
it boosts my self esteem every time I see someone who knows absolutely nothing about elementary statistics make some conclusion with insufficient evidence

Every race has to spend more time preparing for Terran, they just have the most amount of viable strategies/units.

also most players play protoss, so we should actually see at leaste ore protoss than terran up there.

You are right. During Take's homestorycup, after Socke played against Ret they interviewed Socke and he said something about how weird and unusual it felt to play against a zerg because he hadn't really practiced PvZ lately and mostly focused on PvT. MorroW has also on several occasions said that he's dedicating most of his practice to TvT's.
The top players are focusing on learning to beat terran, which makes sense.
That's a little disconcerting aswell, Terrans and Protoss are mostly getting practice in against T and P, while Z's are devoting all there time practicing to beat T and P and yet T and P are seemingly favoured in the matchup.
