Currently Globaly in GM there are 37.3% (379) Protoss, 36.1% (366) Zerg, , 24.8% (252) Terran.

On European server there is lowest amount of Gm terrans between all servers (38terrans).

In top 2500 global master ranking there are 35.9% (643) Protoss, 36.7% (657) Zerg, 25.8% (462) Terran.

Interesting ladder numbers considering recent terrans performances and balance whining by top terran pro gamers(Example "zergs since the patch have been really good" "there seems to be something wrong with zerg" - Benjamin "Demuslim" Baker).

Don't worry, Terran is going to be nerfed anyway.

So how exactly are these numbers "interesting"? Some balance whining and "recent terrans performances" hardly qualifies as an argument.

It is an argument in it self that the game is imbalanced. Where the number of Terran progamers is highest, and thre amount of participation in Grand Master League is lowest.

T has always been underrepresented in GM in europe and NA at least, (not in Korea though). TvZ is obviously very hard for terrans at the moment and further decreases the amounts of terran GMs, ie nothing suprising. I don't think anyone can really argue that it's balanced at this current point, one can though argue that it will be balanced without patches when terran discovers a new way to play.

i don't really see what conclusion we're supposed to draw from this. i have noticed that there are very few terrans on the ladder -- i even did a chi-squared test on several weeks of my own EU ladder games the other day (playing masters and a few high diamonds) and it was significantly different from 33/33/33 distribution of races, with terran being very low. there was the whole 'where have the terrans gone' panic long before the latest patch hit, though, so people who interpret this as a balance issue need more evidence than just raw % terrans in a league.

I think you are confusing interesting with boring.

When someone takes GM as some proof of imbalance if only prooves they are pretty clueless...

This only makes you sound like an angry Demu fan.

Another passive-aggressive balance post, how many more do we need on TL and Reddit?

Terrans are struggling? Yes. Imbalance? Who Knows. Wait a little more than a month and see how it goes? Sounds like a plan.

It's not a real balance patch without a bunker nerf.

Number of players in certain leagues, doesn't say squat about balance. It doesn't take into account factors if some race has more players playing it, and skill of the players playing that race.
Win rates between equally skilled players is more significant than how many that plays a certain race.

If you see to the fact that less players is in gm or m you can just argue that terran players is more unskilled as you can argue that is the other races that is imbalanced, so it is a poor measurement for imbalance.

I don't think Blizzard care about "interesting" numbers too. Back when MC was complaining, there were, I think, 6-8 terrans in top10 gm in KR. Nothing happened.
