But comparing between Coca's winnrate and others, he doesn't have any significant winrate that can be counted as outliner. On the other hand, Nestea can be counted as outliner because his winrrate was significantly lower than the rest of the Zerg. But that just proved that if you took Nestea out, ZvT winrate should even be higher.
So it's ok to remove Taeja and Gumiho but not coca because his win-rate is not different enough from other zergs?
You do realize that there are other Terran who do very well right? Mkp went 8-3 in july, hack 8-4, mma 6-1, heart 7-2,polt, reality,etc
And you don't get to just remove the guys who win a lot, you also have to take out those who lose a lot, in both races, every month, so for example in june, remove symbol,etc.

Pretty nice stats 
Cool how close the percentages always are to 50

People were complaining last month because of a small sample size but now that it's 3 times the size you would think people wouldn't compain... Anyway looks good.

55.7% international winrate for zerg in TVZ is not close to 50.

hopefully this will tone down the terran bitching for a while.
on the other hand, zvp T_T

Not sure if serious...
In Korean TLPD July TvZ, MKP was 4-1, MMA 2-5, Hack 6-6, Heart 6-5, Reality 1-0 (yes qualifier games doesn't count as usual, so his win against Symbol and Shine are not counted)...
And to qualify as outliners, you have to have:
+ A good number of games
+ A significant win/lose rate than the rest.
People like Hack and Heart had good number of games, but their winrate isn't much different with the rest of the Terran, so...
Same with Coca, he had 73% winrate, but it's not that impressive compared to the rest, you had a bunch of Zerg that had winrate hover around 100%-60% too. Coca is just kind of medium...
And in June, Symbol ZvT was 65% winrate or something, not that impressive... Remember that although people like Symbol win bo3 series a lot, but if you win 2-1 all the time, your winrate will always hover around 66%.

Yea this game favors zerg in ZVT slightly only if the terran practice his game 12 hours a day. All the other terrans have to listen to zerg players say l2p and calling them noobs while they get annihilated in lategame because they dont have 300+ APM. Just think how succesfull the top terrans would be if they switched race.

Do you think the top zergs play less hours? If you are a top korean, then the game is balanced for you, therefore a racee switch wouldn't help the top korean terrans.

For example, although we all know APM isn't a direct correlation to skill/performance, let's say it was and by some ungodly scenario it could be with objective numbers.
Say Terran benefits most from APM increases. A Terran with 150 APM might have a skill/performance of "75". A Terran with 250 APM might have a skill/performance of 90, and a Terran with 350 APM might have a skill/performance of 95.
At the same time, a Zerg with 150 APM might be able to perform at a skill level of 85. A Zerg with 250 APM might be able to perform at a skill/performance of 93, and a Zerg with 350 APM might have a skill/performance of 95.
Assuming there is no benefit to going beyond 350 APM (for simplicity's sake), we could say that TvZ is balanced at the highest level, yet anywhere below the highest level Zerg is going to perform much better than Terran. It's easier to play at a lower level. This does NOT affect the top tier you mentioned, such as Nestea, DRG, etc. It only affects those below. Zerg at the very top might be just as hard to play as Terran, it's just that it's a lot easier to get "near" the top with Zerg and much less skill than with Terran.
Hopefully that made sense, no time to edit since my lunch break just ended.

Well, terrans are the best players in the world, after all. They are drawn to the race with the highest potential and difficulty. It a huge problem for balancing the game, since the terran win rates have always been inflated by these juggernauts of talent. It is only natural that the race has now been over nerfed because Blizzard has mistaken this raw skill for an imbalance in the game. Hopefully they will figure it out soon and revert some of the most recent nerfs.

Wait those charts don't take into account the wcs and wcg qualifiers?
How the fuck did they get those winrates for terran?
My bad, you can do your magic with removing players,etc but please add to that the fact that in wcg and wcs qualifiers, terran went 58-41 in Bo3 series and 134-109 in maps so a 55% winrate on 243 games.
So in the end, if you added those results to the TLPD ones you would get a 52,3 winrate for terran on 564 games.

Fun fact: If you take out TaeJa and Gumiho from the KR statistics the TvZ win-rate drops to 47,1%.
Haha, that is golden. 
And apparently, Blizzard is already addressing the down slope for Terran with that new balance-testing map.

It's been discussed to death last month already. Remember last month, Terran said why TSL qualifiers didn't count in May, June winrate? because if it were counted, Terran winrate would be more horrible.
It's been like this forever. Qualifiers and Open Bracket don't make it to TLPD because they consist a ton of games from teamless people and people with huge different in skills(pro Korean vs NA mid diamond), no matter if it's TSL4, MLG, IPL, Playhem, ESV..v..v.v. WCS and WCG are not exceptions.
