The balance is too close for you to do that when your opponent is about to hit with a timing attack and still win. That skews the results so much because there are so few Korean Toss. So 2 of them do bad for 4 games total (San, MC)... and the whole representation gets thrown off massively. Toss just isn't strong enough any more to ignore what the other race is doing and still win. I don't even understand why they would get complacent in the first place. PvT was never that strong for them, was it? Sure, it looked like they were dominating everything with MC leading the charge, but I can't believe how they all just seem so unprepared now. Almost all of the Ps in GSL have been knocked out in PvT. I just can't wrap my head around it. | ||

http://www.gomtv.net/2011gslsponsors3/news/65192 So far there has only been one PvZ in April in Code S, and in the Ro32 group stages, most protoss were knocked out by terrans. I can't really find any other games in korea besides world championships, in which terrans dominated everyone.. | ||

Protoss gaing a 5% lead over Zerg/Terran during Jan/Feb/Early-March, when Toss "OP" QQ reached its highest. Now Zergs/Terrans aren't complaining as much anymore and the win rate as evened out... | ||

An interesting note is that on the international one there were 8346 games total: PvT - 3366 games - 40% ZvT - 2736 games - 33% ZvP - 2244 games - 27% Now considering that the grandmaster leagues have a somewhat balanced spread across the races, this shows that either less zergs are participating in tournaments, or less zergs are reaching the later rounds of tournaments (which TLPD stores information for). Is it possible for you to share with us how many mirror matches were for each race to see this clearly? | ||

-Different map pools per tournament. GSL holds different map pool compared to some other tournaments, which can give different results. -International scene has more players, thus giving a more accurate averaged result (I dont think there is as many korean players in comparison to give a stable reading) -Possibly the KA amulet nerf was done because korean players are more dependant on them, thus showing signs to blizzard that it has to be removed and Korean players has not adjusted to such a drastic change yet. | ||

Well, if you use logic when you assemble statistics it can very much prove stuff. The problem is that most of the time people just pulls numbers out of context (or their ass) which prove nada. | ||

Also the different styles from different regions come into account also Terrans constantly on top with the highest win ranking everywhere. The only dynamik to terran is how much above the other 2 races they are with their %. | ||

That post must be a joke, maybe San and Alicia but definatelly a shitload of Terrans like Hyperdub, Boxer, Clide, etc that either have one good run or haven't even showed anything besides a few Code A games or Team League games. A lot of the "Terran promises" may actually fail when time passes, like promisses always do. If you go that route, why not put Squirtle, Choya, Inca, Ace, etc? They had at least one good run, seemed promissing at the time, even if they are not the top Protosses. This is just so biased it can't be taken seriously, and doesn't even consider the fact that, if you believe in the imbalance, which I don't, maybe players like Tester would have more sucess as Terran and some of those Terrans wouldn't have the same sucess as Protoss. The korean sample is too small to start crying about anything, but the international sample definatelly says that all this Protoss OP QQ is weird, or at least premature, specially from Terrans, where the matchup has always been pretty damn close. PvZ hasn't really been stable so it's hard to say anything about it. | ||
