For what it's worth, it's pretty much all the stats.

But it's still fun to hear even the top level pros whine when there's nothing to whine about ^^


you missed the point... you can't just say the game is balanced based on ladder stats. try to use your brain, this is so obvious and basic...


The stats are based on tournaments. Read as: top tier progamers, GM players, and high masters players. And not generic ladder games from people who don't know how to play.

I'm using my brain and reading skills. Thanks Bet you're embarrassed.

lol of course not, you should be even more embarassed now that you compared top GM and high masters stats with HIGH LEVEL PRO KOREANS. but yeah... it was fun reading your posts


You seriously need to learn how to read and click links, dude. The site has international tournament stats and Korean-only tournament stats. And plenty of pro-gamers are also top master/ GM on ladder, so there's overlap.

I've never seen so much fail in one person's set of posts. The link was even provided for you. Click it -.-' Sigh.

ok, I will explain you how wrong you are. you can't use STATS to judge game balance at KOREAN PRO HIGH LEVEL.

firstly, you are mixing masters and grand masters within tournaments results, that doesn't say shit. tournaments have terrible map pools and the mayority of their players are not even CODE A players.

secondly, even if those tournaments had only TOP CODE S players like the ones who are complaining about balance, sometimes they just don't play at their best because they have CODE S games to be played and they want to hide strategies, builds, etc. or even they are not trying to get mentally tired.

so, in the end you really can't, by any means, use any kind of stats to judge the balance at the really high level CODE S game.

stop acting like if you know more than the HIGH LEVEL korean pros who are complaining about balance.

I'm now saying the game is or is not balance because of one or 2 top players, I'm just saying how wrong you are by using those stats. we can't even have an opinion about the subject cause we have never been at the really high level of play.

EDIT:
also another important thing about STATS is that they don't consider how the game was played. sometimes it was a build order win, a win due to mistake from opponents, etc. some stuff that you really can't use to judge balance.

only people playing at really high level at daily basis can see what is or is not too strong, what build counters what build, etc.

btw, you post too much... more than 10k in less than 2 years lol


The game is changing every month new strats are coming out... EVERY MONTH. Everyone is gonna complain every month...

You're argument about high level players complaining about matchups is silly because THEY ALWAYS COMPLAIN. Watch every video interview, no one is gonna say their race is OP.

I don't know a time when nestea hasn't complained about protoss, even when he was winning GSL's.

About the stats: someone asked for them... I was not using them... they were requested.

yes, they are always complaing, thanks god they do that, but who you are to judge if they are wrong or not?

btw, you just gave one more reason to never use stats, cause the meta-game is always changing, there are always new strategies, etc.

my point is: no one here can say if the game is or is not balanced and we can't use stats to justify it. that's all.

I never said to use the stats as confirmation, someone asked for them. (you are crazy if you are saying that I told you to go by the stats) as I said before someone asked for them so I gave them the link.

I, unlike you, trust that if they have any complaints with balance, they DO have contacts with blizzard and are hopefully already talking to them about it. I obviously know they have qualms with the game since like I stated before they always complain about the balance (zvp matchup).

Just like the entire world, I play the game as it is given to me. And just like everyone else we have to work with what we got.

EVERYONE HAS DIFFERENT PERCEPTIONS. The TLPD is just one of them... ease up sir. I am not saying live and die by the TLPD winrates, I am saying, accept that there are many different perceptions of this wonderful game ( like you said who are we to say what is or isn't balanced).

lol I don't know if you realize that I wasn't replaying to you, it was for that guy how knows more than nestea and DRG.

You weren't talking to me at first but I find it hard to believe you take everything top koreans say as gold. If top korean zerg had their way 100%; Protoss as a race would be just probes, blinkless stalkers and zealots that do your taxes.

Most players whine regardless of skill level... MvP and MMA think Terran is UP, Nestea and DRG think Zerg is UP, MC and HuK think Protoss is UP.

There is no way you can take any whining seriously, even from the best of them.

lol, the shameless comment got me laughing. don't know much about balance at that level, but toss doesen't seem op. I hope a good toss like puzzle,mc, or genius makes the finals either way.

nestea has always complained about zerg... while he was winning everything.

DRG adding his complaints to the mix is new.

IdrA complaining has always been around.. since BW when he played terran, the most winning race with the best players.

Meanwhile statistics show that Zerg wins more. History shows zerg wins more. Apparently I am dumb though cause I rely on results and history.. you know, things that happen outside of the imagination of complainers.

There are some korean terrans who have said Terran is the strongest race. And rightfully, just look at the stats since beta, it's plain obvious.

Incontrol has always complained about Zerg too you know?

As for statistics, results, history, they are all in the past. They do not reflect the current patch or metagame. All the Code S zergs are complaining about Protoss at the moment, whist they weren't 2 months ago. It is only this GSL where I myself have noticed a huge increase in skill in all Protoss players. Parting, oZ, Puzzle have all played sick good. MC is still in it. Meanwhile I watch the recent foreign online tournaments and the foreign Protosses play like garbage compared to the Koreans.

Didnt David Kim said in his blog that zerg had highest winrates or most prize money earned or something like that?

It's sad to see progamers qq this much


Yes because that really matters.

No what matters is the current state of the game, and nothing else. You don't base nerfs/buffs over prize money you base it off the matchup.

/facepalm

And current state of the game shows us that toss has 41% win rate against Zerg....


From what? Ladder? Tournaments? Before latest patch? After latest patch? Show me the statistic.

The only thing that should matter is pro gamer vs. pro gamer % after the latest patch.




January TLPD winrate thread

Even that statistic isn't a good indicator for play at the top of the Starcraft II world. Those are looking at all the games from your daily cups to the GSL. The fact of the matter is, if InControl loses to Destiny, that says nothing about balance at the Code S level.

While that's a stupid statement (are you saying only bad tosses vs good zerg games were in January? or only incontrol played all toss games?), korean stats are not really that much different, about 43% win rate.

Think about it. I'm saying the results of Destiny vs InControl or any of the other low level "pros" don't truly reflect balance at the level of Nestea or MC. Yet in these statistics, the truly top level ZvP games will be drowned out by all the ZvPs played by mediocre players in their Playhem Dailies.

The Korean stats are 55-45 btw. Which seems fairly reasonable given the small sample size from which they are drawn

It doesn't necessarily mean zerg is OP, but it could mean the zerg players are simply better. For example, when Fruitdealer and Nestea won the first 2 GSLs, I think most people agree that terran was OP as fuck and zerg sucked ass, but they still won.

But when things like mass reaper openings were impossible for zergs to deal with, and khaydarin amulet allowing for instant storms was flawed, they had to be changed. I am confused as to why blizzard didn't deal with the 1/1/1 earlier when it was destroying tosses though.

So what you're saying is that there is no quantifiable basis for assessing balance.

That's a pretty bold statement.

Players just aren't used to losing to protoss and resort to whining about balance. Zergs weren't complaining about PVZ two months ago when the infestor broke the matchup. You can't take balance whining seriously. Every player thinks there race is the worse.

Only these two left and the fact is no matter how well zerg is looking like, Nestea and DRG will never stopping saying other races imba.

We do discuss the game, try SC2 strategy. Also "they" are allowed to talk about it because contrary to popular belief twitter and teamliquid are not the same site...
