Wow, amazing stats. Interesting to see that Tal'Darim is such a great map, I mean it's always been one of my favourites, but I know so many people that hate it, so it's a bit surprising none the less.

Regardless, massive props for doing this, Playhem ftw

Really?

First of all they're mid/high masters and GM. They're no GSL pro players, but they do know their way around. Also it's not like they're playing against GSL pro players, they're playing against equal skill level.

Also, by your own logic, your opinion and experience shouldn't matter because you're very far from top players and have no idea how to play the game compared to them.

anyone can enter these playhem OPENS. Many many mid master players play, and the game may be imba at mid master level, but balanced at GM level, and imba for the other race at GSL level, meaning these stats would mean nothing. he has a valid point.

Big sample size but the avg game lenght is just horribly short. I wouldn't use the winrates for anything else but checking which maps are good to cheese/all in on. Still nice to see how big differences there are between maps and nice to see those taldarim winrates.

Chat cloud is the most surprising thing about these stats. How can faggot and l2p be so far from the middle!? :D But seriously, apparently tournament play is more mannered than ladder play on avg, where most of the chat is telling opponent how bad they suck (yeah, even at GM/high master).

But clearly shows the flaws of some maps. Meta has appeared terrible for toss ever since FFE became standard that "has" to be done. Shattered being terran favored overall, and so on. Indeed surprising taldarim is supposedly the most balanced one.

Game length is given in real time. So multiply it by *1.38 for ingame length. I don't think 11min real time is that low for average game. 15min ingame game has often got to 3v3base situation, and that's only average. For every 10min game there's 20min game etc.

- recent results
- only top tier
- enough games to be conclusive

Now pick 2.

This only strengthens the idea that zergs early third hatch is a huge problem in PvZ, as Tal'darim, being the only map where this is hard to pull off, is the most balanced in that matchup (and all other matchups for that matter).

Such a shame the most balanced map is the worst map for PvP though =|

I`m glad Taldarim has such a balanced race-win-percentage. Also the fact that taldarim games aren`t longer in average is surprising. thanks for sharing

Have you considered providing these 31.5k replays to that scientific study that was looking at skill development? I don't know if they are exactly what they're looking for, but that's a lot of yummy, sweet data.
Yes, I email sponsors... to thank them. Don't post drunk, kids. My king, what has become of you?

It surprises me that Taldarim is that balanced tbh. Also I didnt know that Cloud Kingdom was a bad map for terran.

Not really, 1500 is often more than the number of people surveyed to predict an election.

Would it be possible to get graphs of the time series of winrates of each matchup per map? We have a 5 month average, would be curious to see how this varied more specifically according to metagame/patch
