I seem to encounter massive ammounts of protoss, no matter what hours I play. Of course this is not conclusive evidence, so I'm asking TL what races they mostly encounter, and which race they think is most popular on iCCup.

Poll: What race is most popular on iCCup?
(Vote): Zerg
(Vote): Terran
(Vote): Protoss

couldn't we get a conclusive statistic from the ICCup admins instead of doing this somewhat subjective poll?

I seem to match up against probably 50% terran, 30% zerg and 20% protoss

I actually went to iCCup, but I could not find any statistics. I can imagine it would demand a lot of computing power, since you'd had to account for all matches ever played by every player :o

Not really, for ex. if someone plays over 80% of games with one race he could be considered playing just that race. Actually this can be done even with relatively simple web script analyzing iccup pages.

Protoss is definitely the most common among more casual iccup players judging by the iccup map stats for python, destination, and andromeda

For maps that are more likely to be played by top-level players like outsider and god's garden, the map stats suggest zerg is the most common

Most of my games r vs Z. And most of them go 3hatch, so bad games T_T. Then I have pvp games. And only few games vs T's... Sucks, cause PvT is my best MU...

From my experience Zerg and Protoss are about equally popular. Terran lags behind a lot.

Keep in mind that the race you play distorts who you play against.

Actually by looking at race distribution on maps thats a conclusion you cant draw. Outsider has an even spread, while destination and python (esp python with over 40000 games) has way more protoss games than any other.

On gods garden Z is ahead of P and T with about 500 games which is roughly 14%.
On python P is ahead of z with 20%, with almost 200.000 games played.

The gods garden factor can be explained by the fact that Z has high win rations on that map, with 54% against T and 53.75% against protoss. Gods garden becomes a natural choice for Z players.
P's dominance on Python cannot be explained in the same manner. This indicates that there are way more P in the lower levels, but a more even spread at the top.

I play zerg- but i never end up playing terran....ever. Its really sad because i love zvt and yet i never find any ones to play against. Instead i always have to deal with protoss players. Last night i played 6 games on icup.

zerg: 1
Terran: 1
Protoss: 4

lol good thing im good at zvp
