In addition to three days of insane gameplay, MLG Columbus provided us with a wealth of information that should be of great interest to players and fans alike. From the most banelings made in a single game, right down to a detailed race-by-race and map-by-map win/loss breakdown, we've got the stats, and we're sharing them with you. So without further ado, here it is: MLG Columbus by the numbers.

Win Percentage by Matchup: Entire Tournament

PvZ:
Protoss: 46.51%
Zerg: 53.49%

PvT:
Protoss: 54%
Terran: 46%

TvZ:
Terran: 43.21%
Zerg: 56.79%

Fun Facts:
Most Banelings in a single Game: 380 – (18)SlayersSMMA vs (17)IMLosira Game 4
Most times Spawn Larva was cast in a single Game: 185 – (58)mouzMorroW vs (71)goswser Game 1

For the rest of the funf facts, as well as Average APM & Matchups by Map, head over to the Stats Breakdown.

Damn, That is a lot of Banelings. Crazy to see the percentage of wins for each race, I thought Terrans would be a bit lower than it is.

Awesome stats breakdown. The winning %'s were the most impressive.

(This might be fixed by time i post it but that is racial breakdown not winning percentage in the OP)

Those numbers for "win percentage by race" I believe are incorrect, since on the website it says "Percentage of Players of Each Race", not win rate. The actual win rates are much much closer.

If that's correct, you should probably edit the OP before 10 pages of people throwing around the words "Sample size" with no idea what they are talking about, etc...

nice data btw, thanks!

Those are "Percentage of Player of Each Race" not "Win Percentage" like you listed in OP.

lol it's ironic because terran actually had the lowest win rate by quite a margin

Is that in-game apm? Cause if so, that would actually be about 516 irl apm, 8.6 actions per second if I'm not mistaken.

If quite a margin is 3-5% than sure...... But i think it is interesting how some races do better in different regions. By this i mean zergs are doing really well in north America (10/16) in nasl, 5/8 in mlg, while terrans are dominating korea, and lets not forget about the European protoss that had a good showing at dream hack.

Well, since most people are just interested in the win % here are the Win percentages

PvZ:46.51 %
TvZ: 43.21%
TvP:46%

I wonder how many people will claim T are broken before they read the thread LOL

IMO things seem quite balanced, its a shame that the QQing never seems to stop.

Edit:LOL I am an idiot, sorry OP I chastised people fro not reading and yet I missed some stuff in your OP

These stats don't reflect all of the games played at MLG. What games do they cover? I know for a fact that a 0% winrate by protoss against terran on typhon is false because I lost a tvp there.

So thats how balance looks like, zergs having winning percentage against every other race by a high margin, good to know.

However looking at every tournament around things do look balanced, but i dont see how you can say that things look balanced looking just at MLG.

The only thing you can conclude from this is that given the pool of Terran and Zerg players that played at MLG, the zerg players will win more often than the terran players on average.

That's the only thing you can say. The disparity in quality of players between races, especially given that there are many more terran players playing than any other race, allows you to draw no conclusion on "balance"

Interesting to see, for sure, but be careful not to read too much into it. It's just results from one tournament.
