For the international graph, it's good to see the matchups are coming pretty close to 50/50; that's all we can really hope for | ||

Seems like sc2 is in fact getting more and more balanced at least in the international scene. | ||

Since the KR TLPD is based almost all on GSL, that means there are basically no protoss games to chart. So what we have are dozens of terran games and maybe 4 protoss matches. Though it does seem weird, why would korean protoss fail so hard yet european and NA protoss are fine after the infestor buff? It's not like korean zerg are even using infestors more often. | ||

It does include koreans that play in international tournaments though. Players like Ace and MC for example. | ||

Or did you just calculate monthly win percentages and then interpolate the points? There is only one data point per month yeah. I could do per week as well if anyone is interested, but that would be a VERY shaky line, as the number of a games per week is fairly low. | ||

The Korean graph fluctuates too much as a result of the lack of tournaments they have on a regular basis, and as such I don't think you can really read too much into it. Interesting putting a context on the broad peaks and slumps though. | ||

Zerg looks underpowered though and protoss aren't doing as well as everyone makes it sound. | ||

That's the feeling I get from watching them but maybe I'm trying too hard to say zerg up. Just when I watch a top 8 code s player like anypro pylon his nexus first, pull half his probes to kill it and then push out with only gateway units vs burrow roaches, I kind of have to wonder. (of course, he still won that series with 2 very skill less builds, the first of which he won even though he had 0 micro on the void ray, which was the focus of the entire build.) It's certainly interesting to see regardless, and I'm surprised at terrans overall success. The best korean protoss players are not terrible. Everyone makes mistakes every now and then. Top zergs are included in that statement. The feeling I get from threads like these is that people want the statistics to reflect the reality that they feel. It usually doesn't. That doesn't mean that your feelings are wrong, and it doesn't mean that statistics are wrong - it does mean that you probably don't understand the data, which is a given in this kind of high level report. | ||

On average it could only be about 45 games, which isn't enough, so don't pay too much attention to that big swing. <_< It's 99 games, 31 wins and 68 losses. Mostly from GSL. I agree it's to little to make any assumptions from, the interesting thing will be to see if it's the start of a trend or just an anomaly. | ||

It's not like korean zerg are even using infestors more often. Well not fine. Protoss have been underperforming in the NASL recently against zerg. But its to be expected, its not a balance issue just a patch requiring more time for one race to adjust to than another. The international lines converging is pretty exciting. | ||

2. In Korea, Terran>Zerg>Protoss, with Zerg looking decent only because they get so many wins against Protoss. | ||

Zerg looks underpowered though and protoss aren't doing as well as everyone makes it sound. How does it makes Zerg look underpowered?_? Anyways, the koran stats are not that accurate since they have way less games than the whole foreign scene does. Good to see things relatively even, bad to see P on such a slump in Korea, and Korean Terran as dominating as ever | ||
