it is, actually. First off a protoss going lategame vs zerg is suicide as the zerg lategame army is close to unbeatable. Even with mothership it can so easily backfire because of NP. So a lot of the good tosses have been doing 2base allins a lot, as that seems to be what has worked the most. But as Zergs generally adapt to allins over time, it, obviously, starts working less and less. And then theres the mutalisks which, even with several stalkers and canons, can oneshot an entire mineral line when you get enough of them. And then be back to defend before lunch as the unit is incredibly fast and very strong vs stalker. Or just basetrade, and they will win most if not every single time. Even if the protoss decides to turtle up the zerg can easily take every other base on the map and be so far ahead. The only real option for toss is scouting the mutalisks well before they arrive (or metagame by seeing spines), and be ready with blinkstalkers and canons. And even then its incredibly hard to take a third base and near impossible to take a fourth. Archons are nice, but like thors, when the mutaball gets large enough to oneshot them, you can spread them out and defend anymore. HT works well, but mutalisks are so fast its actually incredibly hard to hit a good storm. And even then you'll at most do 50% dmg to the ones you hit. At which point the muts just run away and regens. | ||

OP should edit that in so people pay more attention to the graphs. International Y axis %40-60 Korean Y axis %20-80 Just for reference, here are the PvZ winrates: PvZ Int: 41.2/58.8 PvZ Kor: 44.9/55.1 | ||

Mutas lol, it's one of those things though that when players start to find an efficient way to deal with mutas without taking significant economic losses, the international WR's will jump back into place, but the Korean MU is still quite close, actually in all 3 matchups  | ||

Is there' a ladder version?  It might be less imbalanced. | ||

It would be nice if you could add a shaded error-area to the lines (they are some running average I guess?), because as it is now it is tempting to say that there is a difference between two lines when they are only a fraction of an error-bar apart. Thanks, nice graphs. European protoss players are better than korean o.o | ||

The whole point of graphing it is to have a accurate visual representation, and while there's nothing wrong with the way it's set up right now, it would be easier to interpret if the axes were all the same. | ||
