Thus 28 is absolutely OK to do a monthly statistic on. And inb4 source/link/you liar/selfmade statistic on the spot bla bla: HERE Edit: I also just checked the data and 28 is just the PvZ losses... add the 42 wins in PvZ and you got a whopping 70 sample size. 30 is a good sample size when you're making a predictive model or a function when dealing with a divisible value. 30 Absolutely sucks if you're recording Yes/No or some binary result. So if you took 30 months of Stock movement, you'll get a pretty good standard deviation and model. But if you go Ask 30 people if they're voting for Romney or Obama, your poll sucks. This is especially true in cases where you're looking for small deviation from a desired rate. So if you're expecting 50/50 then you want 15Wins, 15 loses...but 16 wins 14 loses is 3.33% off, a single record distorts you by a large amount. This is even worse in rare cases, you couldn't use 30 people to determine if Carrots cause Diabetes, because the expected rate is too low. 1 in 30 people won't be expected to have Diabetes at all, let alone caused by Carrots. So in these cases you must raise the Sample size to look for Deviation cases. If you're seeing a 10% variation in Win/Loss, that only takes 3 records to deviate by that amount. The idea is to create a sample size large enough that the deviation pool is 30, not the total sample size. | ||

Hard to take it seriously, also all the games in korea are from top players where as international a lot of them are not from top players  . That's why korean stats are looked at more seriously then international. | ||

DRG is still the best zerg atm but he is no taeja/mvp that's for sure. Protoss have been trading tops frequently. Squirtle, seed, mc, parting. | ||

I guess at least this time protoss can finally use the age old argument: Protoss is the highest skill race, look at how foreign protoss are stuggling but korean protoss are doing incredibly well. Guess protoss just benefits the most from good mechanics/micro/macro. | ||

Korea PvT: 43-27 (61.4%) ZvT: 22-25 (46.8%) ZvP: 28-42 (40%) International PvT: 259-301 (46.3%) ZvT: 290-278 (51.1%) ZvP: 364-322 (53.1%) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/B9Rww.jpg) Note: I calculated the # of games for each matchup using the winrate * total games on the international graph; they might not be 100% accurate. These statistics, especially the korean ones, are pretty meaningless. Even 1 game has a significant impact on the winrates. For example, if Jaedong beat MarineKing 2-0 rather than losing 1-2 in GSL, then ZvT would be 50%. | ||

The reason Korean numbers matter is because the top plays there, and the top will never get a much bigger sample. Also, i don't see how it is misleading when its a fact its 60% | ||

But yeah low number of games...still interesting I guess Nobody believes this except hardcore Stephano fanboys. No foreign zerg could ever win Code S (inlcuding Stephano) while DRG+ NesTea have 4 GSLs together to their name. | ||
