A thread was created with a list of all the known diamond league players. http://sc2.vacau.com/sc2/index.php
I decided to go through each of the top 100 players and see what races they are. Here are my findings.
Protoss: 38
Terran: 36
Zerg: 22
Random: 4
Edit: I quickly went through the next 100. so here is a pool of the top 200 players.
Protoss: 75
Terran: 68
Zerg: 47
Random: 10
Went through the data real quick with excel, here's the numbers as of July 18th, 2010 1PM PDT
1120 Protoss
921 Terran
891 Zerg
440 Random
**Thanks to Primadog

Thanks for the link, jokah, and thanks to martinni for updating the list.
Of the 3635 players in asia diamond division 1v1.
* 1244 are protoss
* 1187 are terran
* 750 are zerg
* 454 are random
So
* 34.22% are protoss
* 32.65% are terran
* 20.63% are zerg
* 12.49% are random

Someone should put up the EU top 100 too!
And Asia.
|
This proves that random is overpowered
|
I'm loving all the datamining going on.
I hope to see a lot more soon 
(Also, a nod to, and inb4, the low Zerg count! I would also love to see the stats for EU/Asia as well to see if the ratios are similar)
|
Thanks for this. Maybe the OP threads will simmer down now. Although yeah, Random is OP. Lol. :p
|
haha and terran is so overpowered!!! riiiiight lol :D
|
whats the point of such a list aslong you get 5-30 times more ELO for a win then a loss?

Once you play a lot of games that stops happening.

yea really. wtf is that guy talking about lol. maybe with a shitload of bonus pool.
Im nearing 600 rating and almost always losses take more than wins give . but thats how it should be, obviously.
|
Loss for me is -12 and a win is +10
|
i also thought that terran is imbalanced. but idk, maybe the 4 gate has to do with a lot of these.
|
it was like this in BW too
protoss is the most straight-forward
terran is a little less straight-forward
and zerg is the least straight-forward
people are going to change, and later on in the highest level, zerg is going to OP the crap out of all the other races
|
Protoss all-ins and early aggression account for a lot of the protoss success up to mid level diamond, really.
|
Lol oh yeah, rank 200 and I havent played a game since the third day of beta. Protoss is too easy, Most games come down (ZvP) either a all in 4gate, or a gateway forgebuild into a hard to stop 2base collosus. It's so easy to do either of these builds, and it's truly really hard for a zerg to come out ahead.. Dealing with collosus with roach hydra is hard, and if you make 5 too many drones, you lose to a good timing push. It's too demanding in comparison to the protoss strategy. Roaces need a buff against collossi. Hydras are completely useless by any sort of collosus micro.

I'd actually argue that Terran is more straight-forward than Protoss is, especially in their macro mechanic.

Why is zerg going to " OP the crap out of all the other races"
I do not think Zerg is considered overpowered at all. Please explain what you mean

Terran is straight forward macro because they can build anything. so just do 1/1/1. Protoss has to commit to something

Protoss can chronoboost probes, put gates anywhere, not build units in battles, and then boom, 13 zealots warping in... I believe protoss is by far easier to macro than terran.
Also cannons, although not commonly used, easier to do than bunkers imo,
