When people say that top Terran are much better players than Zerg/Protoss overall but barely win because the game is imbalance, everyone is like "Oh stop with that, this argument is stupid !". Then, two posts later you read stuff like "If international Terran have a 45% winrate, it's because they suck" ... Or few people saying that the TvZ matchup is Terran FAVORED in Korea because the ratio is 50.2/49.8, but when it was 47/53, it was perfectly fine and balanced ! | ||

According to Terran the game was also balanced Sept - Feb and Zerg players just have to l2p, so dont give to much credit to these discussions. If the graph doesnt support your biased opinion, pick one or more: a) to small sample size b) doesnt contain all tournaments c) X players carry the whole race d) he must made that up e) Thats because they only all-in f) my stomach tells otherwise! | ||

But take a step or two back (skillwise) and it is a total disaster. I've been following weekly EU tournaments like Go4SC2 and Pokerstrategy for some time now. These things turned into ugly PvZ / ZvZ fests. Whenever some terran makes it high into the bracket the audience acts really confused, stating things like: "wow, there are 3 races in SC2?". If you follow more of the SC2 scene than just the very top of it you can see that some things just do not work out all that great. | ||

International TvZ has korean TvZ stats into it, yet it's still at 45/55. Korean TvZ is boosting international TvZ to the 45/55 that we see. If korean stats weren't there to boost the matchup percentages in favor of terran, the difference would be even larger by several percentage units. Thus, terran is even weaker internationally/terran players are even worse internationally than the stats show (and korean terrans are even more amazing than we previously thought.) | ||

Because foreign are filled with Zerg and Protoss, if a Korean Zerg comes, he will play ZvZ ZvP a lot, which doesn't really affect ZvT that much. But if a Korean Terran comes, he will play TvZ and TvP a lot, which he will win and effectively boost TvZ, TvP international winrate, which looks bad for foreign Terran. And i'm joking of course, don't take me serious. | ||

International stats are literally irrelevant, they take in low masters all the way up to top korean players and all the lopsided results inbetween. We cant assume that kor tvz=50:50, that when brought into the equation they go 50:50 and thus increase or decrease the total result. Koreans play in both major and minor tournaments against good and bad players, some being knocked out early by protoss and others playing a series of mirrors; their results in any given month will be heavily dependent on who they reach within the bracket.

Simply that the korean stats themselves in the TLPD are part of the international stats unless I've been misinformed. If this is the case, international TvZ without the korean TLPD stats baked into it are worse off in terrans favor than the international graph shows. Whether that's because korean zergs played and dominated NA terrans this time around or not is not part of the argument. | ||

If you take Stephano out of internation results i bet the PvZ is bigger etcetc. Terran didn't know how to handle 5/6 queen builds Zerg through at them end of june, begining of july, now they are doing fine, it's pretty balanced imo. All match ups look balanced to me, with maybe PvT still needed to be looked at, but i think 52% winrate is ok, but may need effecting if goes any higher | ||
