EPTAt lower levels Zerg has the higher winrate wich is probably the motivator for random players to switch to zerg.
I wonder if those random to zerg switchers help bring down the zerg winrate above platinum.

At the same note few beginners want to play a race such as zerg as it's so different (as the OP noted) and we only see them coming into play at higher levels. | ||

 Interesting to see that Terrans winrate is quite a bit higher compared to P and Z. Perhaps everything in Master League hasn't quite balanced out? | ||

And yet, zerg's winrate is the one that levels off the most. That's a little odd. | ||

I'm only curious because it feels that way when I play vs. Toss players on a regular basis and even when I play team games it's simple to just execute warp gate rushes. Create 3 units to support your team mates, which is usually the best option for toss in team games. | ||

People play the campaign and know how to play Terran so they go on the ladder as Terran. Silver+ players aren't affected by this because they're more likely to have more games played and/or are more willing to learn a new race. | ||

It seems like when the first starcraft came out lots of people liked to be protoss because at the end of the campaign they are so bad ass and after brood war came out zerg was the race to be for awhile. That or maybe the 4 pool for only 150 minerals... | ||

You can see that easily at sc2ranks.com except you have to deal with ugly boxy bar diagrams instead of these graceful line diagrams. | ||
