Just out of curiosity, what makes you think MMA>DRG?


Maybe because MMA just beat DRG in that blizz cup tournament a couple months ago?


A 4-3 in a bo7 several months ago isn't that convincing.

Lets not forget every terran recently interviewed and other races have said MMA is the best terran in the world. Even nestea has said it. How can we doubt son of Boxer?


I hardly believe MMA is the best terran in the world. He is in a good form though.

Actually interesting enough, statistic wise they are both 7-7 against each other.

They both have 1 win from GSTL, MMA beat DongRaeGu 2-1 at MLG Anaheim, DongRaeGu beat MMA 2-0 at Providence, and then there was a 4-3 at BLizzard Cup. So they are actually dead even against each other.

Some of the zergs you posted as being bad ZvT have been playing the best TvZers in the world... It's hard to get wins of players like MMA and MVP in arguably their best matchup!!

Considering this spans the entire career of many of the progamers in question, then this doesn't surprise me at all. It has been clear that terran have had a significant winrate against Z in Korea for a long time and it's just now starting to even out more. So when you take stats that include data from long time ago then this should be obvious.

I would also say that with that in mind DRG should be considered extremely good at ZvT. As Jinro puts it, how is 64% not good? And to further extend on that. How is 64% over his entire career not extremely impressive when you can look at these stats (http://imgur.com/a/1aAfu) and see just how far ahead Terran have been in Korea in the past.
64% is pretty damn impressive winrate in Code S and GSTL over your entire career. And by no means is ZvT his worst matchup because of a winrate. His wins are against former GSL champions in ZvT. Not like many Zergs or Protoss have won championships compared to Terran, so the skill level of his competition in ZvT should be much higher, compared to what he faces in other matchups.

To take these stats to discuss about the actual balance or metagame situation is not clever. Too many old games are taken into account here, maybe even out of the open seasons back in 2010. These were played in a total different balance eviroment and on total different maps. (Remember steppes of war being part of the GSL mappool for the first 3 seasons LOL!)

look at the actual statistics and then analyse them. You'll get much more viable information then


Your post is so controversial. If we take latest 30 games as data you will say the sample size is too small. If we take 100 games you'll probably say games are too old.

I mean, cmon, why there are always some people who jump in the middle of discussion and say we're all wrong and shouldn't be discussing. Mostly those, to whom discussing balance is 'tabu' or whining, who are in complete denial and think blizzard doing everything perfectly. The game is not balanced yet (but its close to). Why can't we discuss it and try to find some solutions. Blizzard reads TL, they may take our advices. Afterall, they're humans too, there might something they overlooked.

But the problem is, the OP didn't write anything to show that there is an imbalance between Z and T. So what is there to discuss?


what you expect us to discuss?
Should we say smth like DRG-King of ZvT only 64%, good to know! lets just move on! I think no.
The point of the thread is that the best ZvTer has only 64% and most of Zergs have less than 50% which implies that zergs are doing poor against terrans. There might two reasons for that: either zergs are bad or ZvT is terran favoured, which is kinda related to balance. see?


1) It's a common misconception that higher rank players should have ungodly win ratio: you're forgetting the fact that the better you are, the further you advance in tournaments, and therefore the better your opponents are as well. Most of the % are inflated above 50% simply due to all the lower level players they've played, but as you can see, it gets harder and harder to climb higher: it isn't a linear increase relative to your skills

2) 64% win rate is VERY VERY good, it means you win 2/3 of your matches, so you win most of you Bo3's, so I don't know what you mean "only" 64%

3) Where did you read from the OP's post that "most" of the zergs have less than 50% win rate vs T? He listed like 5 out of 50...

4) There is more than your two possible reason to explain this; one of them being "by pure chance". If you flip 20 fair coins, in theory you should get 10-10 head/tails, but in reality, it's not rare to get 9-11 or 8-12 or even some more variations. This is simply due to chance: something the OP didn't take into consideration at all, and the whole point of statistics is to prove your results to be actually true due to real variables and not simply by chance.

Yes MMA is a beast, but so is DRG. Would argue that they are both equally good.
"A rising player" started winning about the same time as MMA did? They both kind of started winning at the same time.

"and lets not forget that code s terrans are a special rare breed of pure korean mechanics and dominance" wow, I don't even... You seriously believe that? That the Korean terrans are just straight up better than the Korean toss/zerg mechanics?

The fact that the % difference is so big between them feels weird. But I don't know how old the data is calculated from. People like Leenock and IdrA have both said that the ZvT matchup is pretty fine so I believe them. Most pro zergs complain about toss atm I think.

It's 56,9% winrate for Terran in February and slowly diminishing since December, "terrible" is kind of an overstatement don't you think? Not to mention that TvZ in international terms is dead even, which is pretty much unheard of in any RTS with differing races lol.

Or that TvZ is T favoured!!! Because for every TvZ superstar, there should be a ZvT superstar with equal win ration, because this is the case in a balanced matchup!!!! And since we dont have anyone like that (measly 68% from DRG) it's quite obvious that it's a T favoured matchup!!!

Here's all the math I did for coming to that conclusion:

If anyone has a problem with my conclusion / my math - why dont "you" go back to highschool, learn math, do "your" own math and proof me wrong???

I think the major problem here is, that you can make T units 5times as cost efficient if you just micro perfectly, and as Z this ratio is no that high, at some point a bane just hits something - and is gone after - so there is no room for improvement.

In general i still think that the top tier Terran players are just playing on another level of multitasking compared with the top tier Zergs excluding DRG.

MMA, MKP, MVP .. just solid solid guys

It's all exaggerations. Zergs overall are horrible at ZvT, DRGs 64% winrate in ZvT is horrible compared to his other matchups, DRG actually isn't good at ZvT, and TLPD shows that zerg winrate is terrible.

the games played are actually pretty interesting. If there would be as many good zergs as there would be terrans it should be okay. But gsl has many more good terrans compared to zergs, while the games played are pretty similar to each other. For me an indication that the terrans got some wins against weaker zergs increasing the win rate, while zergs probably ended up against terrans that can take games of them.

What impressed me lately from the korean terrans is, that they are adapting really swiftly to zerg. Korean zergs fail alot at that. I guess the regular nerfs to terran have triggered them to rely on unit control alot, where other races never got the need to. And it might end up ruining the balance of the game. (unless blizzard is aware of when they nerf something to hard in order to keep the game currently balanced and already has plans of redoing it).

Maybe zerg needs some nerfs too ^^. Terrans seem to be unaffected by nerfs in korea. Though it feels like the game length in tvz halfed since the ghost nerf lol.

Looks like 56.9% chance for TvZ still to me, what's your point?
There is a higher discrepancy for ZvP in favor of Z on that exact same graph, what do you have to say about that?
Just look at it.

BUT by your logics, n = 12 which is less than 20, which means sample size too small!!! so it doesn't mean anything! kk thx.
