So as everyone knows I am quite the fan of maps and pretty much everything about them. So today I started putting together stats from TLPD on all the current tournament maps. I always like to make sure I know as much as possible about the current map pool when I organize tournaments, so at a minimum this should be useful to other tournament organizer's and pro players.

I thought this would be cool info to have in one organized place for everyone!

So here's the info, if people like this, I can update it once a month, if not then no problem

! Note that some maps like Scrap Station and iCCup Neo Enigma are pretty close to being considered an inactive map, but some leagues still use them so I included them. Also all averages are only counting the maps used, others are ignored.

Also Bel'Shir Beach is NOT listed as it only has 13 total games thus far that are not mirrors which is not even remotely close to enough to get any legit data.

Total % Points from overall 50% race win %'s
+ Show Spoiler +

Let me preface this section with the statement that I am NOT a math major. I don't know if this formula I am using is actually a good method. If it is not, show me one that is, and I will be happy to use it. It's all I could think of however. It is explained after the list:

Format:
(Map Name) - (% Points Away from overall 50% winrates) - (Zerg Overall Win %/Protoss Overall Win %/Terran Overall Win %)

Average : 13.585 - (50.54% / 48.38% / 51.08%)

1: iCCup Testbug - 1.10% - (49.80% / 49.65% / 50.55%)
2: Tal'Darim Altar LE - 3.50% - (51.05% / 50.70% / 48.25%)
3: GSL Terminus RE - 4.10% - (49.50% / 52.05% / 48.45%)
4: Scrap Station - 4.30% - (50.10% / 47.80% / 52.10%)
5: GSL Crevasse - 8.60% - (53.80% / 49.70% / 46.50%)
6: Xel'Naga Caverns - 9.50% - (45.25% / 51.95% / 52.80%)
7: Xel'Naga Caverns 1.1 - 9.60% - (46.50% / 48.70% / 54.80%)
8: iCCup Pawn Re - 9.60% - (50.35% / 41.10% / 58.55%)
9: GSL Dual Sight - 10.10% - (46.00% / 55.05% / 48.95%)
10: Shakuras Plateau 2.0 - 12.60% - (43.70% - 53.20% - 53.10%)
11: Metalopolis - 12.80% - (43.60% / 51.65% / 54.75%)
12: GSL Crossfire SE - 12.90% - (56.45% / 44.30% / 49.25%)
13: iCCup Neo Enigma - 13.10% - (56.55% / 45.20% / 48.25%)
14: Backwater Gulch - 13.40% - (56.10% - 50.60% - 43.30%)
15: Metalopolis 1.1 - 15.20% - (52.60% - 45.90% - 51.50%)
16: Tal'Darim Altar - 16.80% - (51.75% - 56.65% - 41.60%)
17: Typhon Peaks - 19.50% - (50.30% - 59.45% - 40.25%)
18: Xel'Naga Fortress - 27.00% - (59.05% - 36.50% - 54.45%)
19: Shattered Temple - 28.50% - (42.20% - 43.55% - 64.25%)
20: GSL Terminus SE - 32.10% - (56.10% - 33.95% - 59.95%)

The formula I used basically added up all the % points off of 50% from each races Average Overall Win %.

Example 1: iCCup Testbug

Zerg Overall Win %: 49.80%
Protoss Overall Win %: 49.65%
Terran Overall Win %: 50.55%

50% - 49.80% = .20%
50% - 49.65% = .35%
50.55% - 50% = .55%

.20 + .35 +.55 = 1.1%

Example 2: GSL Terminus SE

Zerg Overall Win %: 56.10%
Protoss Overall Win %: 33.95%
Terran Overall Win %: 59.95%

56.10% - 50.00% = 6.10%
50.00% - 33.95% = 16.05%
59.95% - 50.00% = 9.95%

6.10% + 16.05% + 9.95% = 32.10%

Again if this method is wrong or there is a better (or even additional method) to test map's overall balance let me know how and I will do it

What time frame is this from? One of the major issues I have with the win rates graph is it spans over too long a time.

Since retail. But most of the maps in the list are newer versions (Such as Metal and XNC 1.1), or are custom maps that are more recent.

Looks cool! Its nice to read it easier than going back and forth on sc2 international DB. You might consider adding page breaks to make it seem less daunting- the big letters seem really big and a bit hard to find haha.

Because this spans since retail it pretty much invalidates all the effort put into this

These stats always show a discrepancy between perception and reality. For example- Crossfire is supposed to be zerg's nightmare, yet they're doing quite well on it.

Only Metal v1, XNC v1, and Scrap have been in since Retail.

Testbug, Tal'Darim LE, Terminus RE, GSL Crevasse, XNC 1.1, Pawn RE, Dual Sight, Crossfire SE, Neo Enigma, Backwater Gulch, Metal 1.1, Tal'Darim Altar, Typhon, Shak 2.0, XNF, Shattered Temple, and Terminus SE are recently released maps.

So if you don't want retail data, just ignore Metal v1, XNC v1, and Scrap.

Yeah...I don't think the overall win rate is a good idea for this... I.e Test Bug looks balanced for Protoss but in reality it is 43.7% one way and 54.6% the other.

I think a better idea would be to list the maps by total variance from 50% -- from lowest to highest

This would mean for Test bug it would be 10.9% total variance (for Protoss - 6.3% vZ + 4.6% vT) and Xel'naga would be 3.9% (for Protoss - 0.8% vsZ + 3.1% vsT)

By your method, form face value it looks like Testbug is more balance than Xel'Naga when it really isn't.

Wow, I had no idea shattered temple was so bad for zerg, but then again I'm also surprised by the Crossfire results, since I always hear about how bad it is for zerg. I guess it's good because the expansion are harder to defend for T and P, given the stretchedness of the map?

He probably meant RE and SE, SE is the newest version.

Yes there is SE and RE but I am an idiot and typed RE twice. Will fix now, thank you very much! Let me know any other you might see.

I agree. Having data on a patch-by-patch basis would be more accurate as to current game balance.

Would it be useful to fold this into a similar format as the race balance graphs, to show win rates per matchup over time for a map?

As people say, it's difficult to trust the data when it's averaging everything since the map first existed.
Although doing a set of graphs for each map would be a huge post and a lot of work.

Still, it's interesting data. Thank you very much.

I had no idea testbug was that "balanced", I've always felt and in MLG also that it's pretty zerg favored.

Any chance of making this data only since the latest patch?

That would be insanely hard to go back and do now due to delayed broadcasting. I would have to go back and watch every NASL, IPL, and delayed broadcast ever to see which patch they played on.
