Highest winrate opening build order for each race across all maps/matchups [Terran] Supply Depot, Barracks, Refinery, Supply Depot, Factory, Supply Depot - 588 occurences / 60% winrate [Protoss] Pylon, Gateway, Gateway, Pylon - 116 occurences / 62% winrate [Zerg] Extractor, Spawning Pool, Hatchery - 95 occurences / 67% winrate Terran: banshee/hellion 60% Protoss: proxy two gate 62% Zerg: baneling/roach 67% This fits well to my personal experience  | ||

the pylon gateway cybercore one doesn't show what the toss is going for and what match ups. it is the most consistent protoss opening that is done (but not showing what tech route and what comes next, for all we know, it isn't a nexus first or FFE) and since toss has one of the worst matchup win rate, obviously this opening, be it 4 gate, 3 gate robo expo that the opening leads to, will have the highest rate of losing. and since 2 gate is an opening designed to win right off, it shows the actual build can win games, unlike the one above which only shows what opening he is doing and what comes next (the rest of the build that is designed to win the game) would never get a winning rate as high as the 2 gate one | ||

Map size: Big open maps like Tal'Darim are better balanced than small ones. This contradicts Browder's flawed reasoning that bigger maps are worse for noobs because you have to scout more area. The truth is that smaller maps are less forgiving and when someone gets an advantage you can't recover because it takes mere seconds to march into the opposing base. Scouting is fairly easy, you just rally a few units places and see how far they get. Blizzard should hire community map makes to create ladder maps, let them do it for free, or use the GSL map pool as the official ladder pool. Macro Mechanics The macro mechanics are nice, but they really make the game more volatile, comebacks are nearly impossible, and games are quite short. I'd like Blizzard to nerf them and see what happens. | ||

I'm surprised the TvP on antiga is so high... isn't that supposed to be an easier map as protoss since you can take 3 base easily? Same with TvP on Dual Sight, though I'm guessing terrans usually do some kind of early aggression or 1-1-1 all-in on that map to get an easy win. anyways thanks a lot for sharing these! | ||

As mentioned in the OP, I feel that databases like TLPD, Gomtv.net, and MLG provide excellent data for the highest level of play. Unfortunately the majority of players are not at the highest level so I felt this gives an interesting insight into the "average joe" masters/GM level of play which we don't see too often even though it accounts for probably the majority of people that have valid concerns about balance.

Must be the real maynard... He's a Korean player from what I know, I don't know his exact identity for sure but I have my personal suspicion. He's definitely not Maynard from BW. | ||

Your expansion will be way later than with 1 gas builds. | ||
