both race have their good and bad therefore i dont think is about balance issue, is more of the meta game =P and maybe is because top players are mostly terran in korean therefore their vT winrate is low o_o

it's an average of ~5% discrepancy
how is that HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE, especially when tlpd factors in past w/l when T was completely dominant during 2011?

tiny sample size.

and, i fail to see the point you are attempting to make?
is this some sort of veiled zerg are underpowered in zvt because they have a lower win rate against top terrans than top terrans have in tvz high argument?

The sample size is fine.
Go read the article posted in Edit 1 of the OP.

In that regards...the entire TLPD is useless and we should just discard it.

Get bigger samples before comparing statistics. They are just not viable to look at.


exactly this!

The more games you play, the harder it is to keep higher ratio...

Also the person who says that you lose 1/3 , and 64% is bad, go kill yourself, because these people play the best players in the world, so even when someone like DRG plays lower tier Korean he can lose at least 1 game...

This thread is nothing but OP balance whining. So what if the win rates for zvt is lower than tvz? are you crying that terran imbalanced after all those huge nerfs?

I get the feeling you didn't read the opening post at all....
Take a deep breath, go read Edit 1 in the OP.
and nobody's saying that 64% is bad.

64% may be good for a sub par player, but nnot for a champion like DRG or nestea


Haha what? Flash has a 72% overall career winrate and he's considered the best player of all time. 64% is really good, it essentially means that win you almost every bo3 (winning 66% of your games means you average to 2-1) and it gets better for longer series

Terran had an advantage against Zerg for a while that they no longer do. The bulk of these games are pre-ghost nerf; I don't see how this is still relevant.

Well of course terrans would have a higher winrate, they used to be OP. At this point I don't think that's a contentious, or even a deniable assertion. Thats why mapmaking and balance patching has been mostly geared towards nerfing terran or buffing the other races. The important thing is that right now TvZ seems very balanced, so let bygones be bygones and don't worry too much about the percentages.

The optimal minimum sample size is 20. Above 20, the n value does not relevantly contribute over all (n-1) to the statistics.
I'm sure you remember from your AP stats class and college.
Here's an article to refresh your memory http://www.ime.usp.br/~abe/ICOTS7/Proceedings/PDFs/InvitedPapers/3J3_ALIA.pdf

The statistics presented in the OP are greater than 20 sample sizes and thus are relevant.






Are you stupid? The article you quoted is not relevant at all, as the assumptions made to arrive at 20 being the correct sample size is relevant only in that specific domain (national surveys or something, not sure where you found it or why you think it is applicable). Read Kahneman and Tversky's work on sample size and selection bias. 20 games played seems to be way short of the mark for any meaningful winrate analysis in starcraft, and your entire post is pretty much rendered worthless.

Leenocks is the most impressive IMO, DRG may have 4% on him but Leenock has twice the games played.

I guess this is nothing new. There have always many more superstars playing terran than other races.
So as a top zerg it is hard to maintain a good percentage if you play MMA/MVP/MKP/.. a lot.

Terrans playing Zerg, there is DRG, Leenock, there was Nestea. But thats about it.

I am sorry but you got the stats wrong.
The over 20 requirement is for cluster analysis, something that you aren't doing because you are not trying to make any clusters out from the data set.
The over 20 thing you talked about is just for normal hypothesis testing, which you aren't doing.
You need to calculate out the optimal minimal sample size based upon your confidence interval etc

in short, you need to calculate out a sample size that truely represent the population. Merely 50 games out of his entire ZvT history does not make sense

I think there are two things we have to look at: 1) Terrans used to be OP, in the sense that they have received nerfs directly effecting TvZ and TvZ is still considered quite balanced.

2) Even the best Zergs still lose to cute Terran all ins or timings that haven't been seen before or are very rare. Many of the best Terrans simply do not lose to Zerg all ins or timings. They might take damage, but they do not out right lose to it. Terran economies and armies grow more linearly, and thus they are a less fragile race in that sense, and Zerg has very few effective all ins/timings against Terran, which makes it much easier to account for them.

Disclaimer: I am not implying anything about balance with #2
