I agree with nearly everyone else though, we can't gather anything from these statistics alone. We'd need the entire suite of numbers and tools available to blizzard to get a good idea of how the game looks. Also, I'm betting that without a patch those numbers will still change quite drastically from simple shifts in the metagame. | ||

The only valid criticism of these statistics so far is this one. However, the differences in area results may just highlight the prevalence of superior tactics in that region, and not basic game unfairness. What Blizzard has on its hands is international diplomacy... with each party being from a different planet and each party feeling that they have an unfair disadvantage. | ||

The stats are meaningless, why release them and encourage more balance whining. God damnit blizzard  I am mid diamond and I am not good and neither is anyone at my skill level. dont balance the game around diamond, balance around masters/grand masters leagues. | ||

It's not like this is bw where Korea just dominates. There really isn't much of skill gap between Korea and Europe, for example. Just because toss is doing well in Korea doesnt mean toss is UP, since clearly European and NA players have different experiences, and my ladder experiences tell me that toss is very strong if the player makes good decisions. If anything toss should be watched carefully since they are too strong in lower level leagues. Statistics overall show that protoss is fine, Terran is at more of a disadvantage. Disclaimer: I play zerg I disagree. Korea should have more weight seeing how, and this is just about universally accepted: Korea has a higher skill level. It is like bw wher Korea dominates there is a skill gap between Europe and Korea for example DIFFERENT winrates. You know why there's different winrates? The higherskilled players (Koreans, generally) find out most strats first and push races to the limit. Why is there such varying winrates from Korea to, for example SEA or NA? Because the metagame is completely different. I did not say protoss is UP and yes, overall Protoss maybe doing fine but are they doing fine where it counts? | ||

Clearly the better strategy atm is to go for all in aggressive builds and beat the protoss before they can get to mid game. oh yeah and roaches are insanely cheap for how much they rape protoss ground armies. | ||

I think it's absurd that they release it to try to prove anything. But... they didn't use it to prove anything. They just said, "here's some stats" and then gave us some stats. They didn't tell us what conclusions they draw from it, nor did they tell us what they were planning to do about any of these numbers. They just gave us some stats. | ||

If this was broodwar then it is universally accepted. At this point what you said has no empirical backing. Remember blizzcon winner was a Chinese, not a Korean. Higher skilled players can come from anywhere at this point, and so winrates from each region must be taken into account. In any case, even if you only compare Korea, which is a wrong approach, you will see that protoss winrate against other races are close to 50% to the extent that the differential is negligible. Toss is fine. | ||

Toss is fine. At Blizzcon David Kim said they put more weight on Korea because it tends to be where new metagame changing strats emerge from and a leading indicator of balance. Also the skill level there is higher overall. | ||

At least the way the the Devs were pitching it at Blizzcon, Terran has the advantage until it gets late into the game where Protoss can tech to storm, but it is pretty difficult, even Dustin Browder was commenting on how hard it was for Protoss to get Storm when he was casting along side Day[9]. It is very difficult to get to the point of getting Storm, at least for me I only ever get to tech to storm once every 5-6 games. But then you have games like Socke vs Jinro on DO during MLG, where Toss went for Storm first but it didn't even seem like he had any advantage at all. 4 warpgate protoss has a very slight advantage over terran, which is why terran is forced to turtle in the early game. Once terran gets their upgrades and can move out is when protoss is forced to defend because of the terran advantage. This is when the struggle begins for protoss to just live until he gets colossus or storm. We are basically saying the same thing though... so I dont really see why you disagree with me (except at the end where you reference socke vs jinro). | ||

Toss is fine. Last time I checked, NEXGenius was Korean.. I completely agree that higher skilled players can come from anywhere, but you are forgetting the ratio of higher skilled Koreans (I'm talking top 0.5%) in relation to foreigners. At the very least it's equal (It isn't) Meaning Koreans DO have more weight as far as statistics go. Toss is doing fine anywhere outside of Korea where the metagame is different, you must understand that given time the current strats will move over to the other servers and the current korean % will start looking like everyone elses. | ||

They have lots of people to talk about strategies in a 1 on 1 setting, they have coaches, they have more hours of training, they just have an overall better way to get better at the game. | ||
