ie. 0-8 minutes - PvT 43% 8-15 minutes -PvT 50% 15+ -PvT 57% Again these numbers are arbitrary, and by no means biased, but something like that would also be a good indicator of the state of balance, and possibly why it feels that way. | ||

Protoss isn’t doing very well. A. In in-house leagues, I feel that protoss is very hard to play. Zerg became stronger, and PvT became more of a build order risk. sCfOu (T) Q. Your goal for this season? A. I want to advance to the finals. I think I should be fine as long as I don’t play zergs. After the patch, TvZ became too difficult. cOreZenith (P) Q. Protoss hasn’t been doing well in the last 2 seasons. A. They have to nerf marauders. They should also return the old range of 3 to roaches. I also wish they would bring back the old zealots. Protoss is so hard. TSL_GuineaPig (P) Q. How were this season’s qualifiers? A. I played a mirror match-up 3 times. I had to play my weakest PvZ so I thought I would fail, but I’m glad that I won. NEXChoa (P) Q. Are you confident about the main event? A. I’m confident in PvT but playing against zerg is difficult. I want to avoid PvZ’s as much as possible. Cyrano (P) Q. What is your goal this season? A. My goal was to go through the qualifiers, but I’m greedier now. I want to make it to the round of 32 at least and play against a zerg rather than a protoss. I’m worried that all zerg players are very good though. MekaPrime (T) Q. It feels like your TvZ has gotten worse. A. I regret the fact that I didn’t practice enough, but games can go either way, so I shouldn’t be disappointed by it. IMJunwiPrime (Z) Q. You chose zerg after playing random. A. I was initially going to qualify as terran, but I couldn’t handle TvT. I then tried to play protoss, but PvZ was too difficult. So zerg was the only race left. I actually registered as protoss, but changed to zerg at the last minute. My protoss teammates hate me for that. GuMihofOu (R) Q. Is there a race that you are better at? A. The zerg is doing well recently and it’s my most confident race. It tends to change every patch. jookToJung (Z) Q. What do you think about the zerg buff in the recent patch? A. I personally can't believe the current balance in TvZ right now, zerg is way too overpowered. aLivefOu (T) Q. Are you confident about the main event? A. I already told people that if I make it through today, I will get Code S and advance to the final. I think I can even win if I refine my TvZ. FOX_Bless a.k.a. Lyn (T) Q. Did you refine your TvP? A. It's my most confident match-up. People around me know me for my TvP, but I lost last time, because I made a mistake. IMmvp (T) Q. You're known to have very strong TvZ. A. After I got knocked out, I became a 'terran QQ'. TvZ is very difficult, actually, TvP is very difficult too. I want 'terran QQ' to be my concept. SlayerS_BoxeR (T) Q. We are expecting a strong showing from zergs this season. A. Zergs found a way to win even with smaller sample of representation. Now, more zergs are participating, because zerg became better. I hope that trend continues, so that the development team realizes something is wrong. I really hope zergs have a strong showing, but I hope I'm not one of their preys. ST_Steak a.k.a. JulyZerg (Z) Q. The patch must have helped the zergs. A. I think the balance right now is fine, but other terrans and protosses don't seem to think so. You have to admit that zerg was underpowered in the beginning. Terran and protoss should be able to adjust as time passes, just like zerg did. CheckPrime (Z) Q. You were one of the bigger 'zerg QQ's. A. I got flamed too much, so I think I'll stay quiet for now. I heard that zerg has qualified the most so far, so I guess zerg is strong now. NEXGenius (P) Q. What makes it so hard to play? A. Terrans are grabbing timing windows too quickly. They don't let the protoss be alone in the early game. Zerg is hard to play against because of the recent patch. Genius decides to change race -> http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=170725¤tpage=All ([b]it has been suggested by many, and logically so, that he may not be serious, you can trust him, or not) Fruitdealer says PvT, the P needs a buff at the season 2 qualifiers when sSKS failed to qualify sSKS and SangHo thinks TvP is OP, in fact in the GOM TV Clan Special [http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=166818] sSKS got 1st place inside TSL by defeating SangHo in the finals AS Terran and says , "terrans op" Fruitdealer says zerg is op in GSL S3 Interview After Ro64 win KyrixZenith says zerg is op when he won GSL All-Stars HongUnPrime says zerg roaches are over powered with recent buff sSKS and InCa said they were considering changing race because of imbalance in Gisado's stream chat (not sure how serious they were, they COULD have been joking around, I personally think they were) Everyone in those interviews is biased. Now XvZ became harder to play, but that does not mean much about game balance. Fruitdealer said zerg is op just as a joke, you can't take that serious. | ||

Why not take this whole thing a step further and make graphs of win % vs time? This would be absolutely amazing for both players themselves and blizzard. I really do not like when 1 number is supposed to mean something. Okay fine it's 3 numbers. | ||

Thanks for posting ![]() You wouldn't say that if you saw how most zergs (even in diamond!) play on the Euro server. - 3 spines - 40 roaches - 1a And i'm not even kidding... | ||

I'm pretty sure it's different in Korea as anyone can win with a 4 gate. | ||

Pretty interesting to see how different each region is The stats show that Zerg is OP in 3 out of 4 regions. Not surprising - this is something the community suspected aleady. Lol you can't be OP in 3 out of the 4 regions when they all are running the same game. | ||

EDIT: Hope we can see some map info because that is the pressing issue right now, rather than races. | ||

This doesn't say a whole lot. Even in blizzcon Browder was talking that map (of course) is a big factor in balance. And yet they just throw out diamond league numbers. Only when we see numbers per map and for players above a certain rating this discussion can get interesting. | ||
