I have played 1900 diamond tosses who are in the top 200 who only 4 gate. I have played one in particular who is in top 50 and all 4 times I have played him he 4 gated me all 4 times. So there are toss players who just 4 gate and get into the top 200 but a majority don't seem too. Its glad to see zerg finally getting like half the slots in the top 20 :D. Doubt it'll be the same in a week or 2 as I assume terran/protoss will start adjusting their play as they play more zergs at the higher levels. | ||

Basically every single ladder game I've played over the past week or so have been like... zerg zerg zerg zerg zerg zerg zerg zerg zerg zerg zerg zerg protoss zerg zerg zerg zerg terran There's a ton more Zerg's, atleast in Diamond Level that I get matched up with anyways on the Euro server. | ||

A notable difference is that I'm facing Zergs who have an average APM of 130 rather than a Protoss or Terran with 60 APM at the 1,500 diamond mark. | ||

And it simply feels a lot easier. You don't need as much APM, your units are more powerful and you have more strategical choices. I haven't played Terran enough to say the same thing, but I imagine it must be similar, otherwise there wouldn't be any imbalance at all. And by easier I literally mean easier. There's just literally no game with Toss where you sweat after the game because you're exhausted and need to focus that hard etc. With Zerg it's like that basically after every game except for ZvZ maybe. and if you have any understanding about the game at all, you will know that the only reason cool won was because two terrans (top and rainbow) played very poorly and made the same mistake against him: basically doing nothing and letting him macro up all game long. otherwise he would've been out in the ro8. I mean look at delta quadrant cool vs rainbow for example. He basically started harassing for real when Cool had ultras out. I think that Zerg is a lot harder for newbie players to play, so they stick to Protoss and Terran. Oh, and good players should not be a 'end all' reflection of how races works. Say for example, 5,000 new players pick Protoss 5,000 new players pick Terran and 1,000 players pick Zerg. We know that most of these new players will never reach top 200 unless they train hard, and looking at the top 200 most players have played Starcraft from before and kept their races. At most it should affect it by a couple of % | ||

I mean, I understand what you're saying, but how does it relate to my post at all? by the way weirdly enough, going through that list, I'm regularily playing at least 5-10 guys in the top200 there, the highest being RedToss who is on #56, yet I'm not on the list even though all the matches are "even matches". I guess I don't play enough. | ||
