In fact, its not only the difficult to take 3rd base. But its also due to the high ground expansion between the bases in proxy positions. While Steps is such a short rush, if you don't die with in the first 5 mins, the map actually is decent come Mid / late game. | ||

The latest patch percentages has all matchups around 50%, unless I am missing something >_> Anyways, yeah Close positions Metal is pretty bad for Zerg, at least in steppes the natural is easier to defend. | ||

In addition to that it corresponds to my feeling as a protoss, weaker vs T than vs Z! | ||

Including standard errors would be good, so we can see if the IMBA is even statistically significant. So 100,000 match proves something but 100-10 doesn't? If one needs this many games to get the point, one will not get the point anyway. | ||

IMO it's really frustrating that so much luck comes in to play with spawn positions... not that you can't win close positions but I guarantee if we had the stats on close vs. cross positions it would be scary. im really glad people feel my pain, its def my most played map too. honestly when i play on meta i just have to cross my fingers and hope i get good LUCK | ||

Patch 1.2.0 - 1.2.2 - Now with all TLPD games! The changes in 1.2.0 weren't exactly sweeping so most likely the changes from the previous version are from map pool changes and evolution of strategies. As for maps, the amount of games played on non-Blizzard maps is still too low to say anything about them. | ||
