Gm population is meaningless, and the 60% of tournaments statistic is heavily contested because it includes several fairly meaningless tournaments that are barely at the pro level.
Ok.
GM is meaningless - why?
The 60% is from Premier and Major tournaments. Explain how this is not pro level?
(what you listed are from random ladder stats - also explain how that is ‘pro’ level)

Because it isnt determined by balance at all, so it cant be used as a metric for it.
Because you start to include tournaments that include non-pro players
No, those are the pro win rates. Ladder forces winrates to 50% across the board.
If Scarlett actually played the game Z would have easy premiers each season.
Ladder is a place in which Lowko can be a Top 50 player.
On this note, i also love how ladder is a totally meaningful thing… until it stops saying what you want it to, in which case its worthless.
That is not an explanation. Nothing in that sentence actually made any sense.
So you are saying that major tournaments have non pro players in it will make any balance arguments invalid?
Can you link the source of those stats then? Something which you and the other poster has failed to do so any claims on what they actually represent is just bull manuire.

Then i suggest you pick up a dictionary until you can speak english better. Your inability to understand a basic sentence is not my problem.
No I understand English just fine. Comprehension seems to be a problem with you though.

Im sure you like to think that, but the evidence suggests otherwise if you cant understand that you need to actually be able to relate your metric to balance before using it to decide balance.
Yes, show me your example or you are talking out of your butt.
My… example? Of what? Causation needing to be demonstrated before you can use something as proof of something else? Thats not a thing you give examples for, thats just how logic works.

GM rankings are compiled from every game a GM plays, same for Masters and Diamond. Protoss dominates all those both in MMR rankings, and also in win-rates. Anyone who denies this is proof is simply a liar. Kelthar is either so extremely low IQ that understanding simple statistics is well beyond his mental capacity or he is a troll that is trying to trick you into thinking someone that dumb actually knows how to use a computer.
Nobody that dumb knows how to use a computer, boss, so block Anesthetic’s alt account and forget he exists. That’s my advice. Nothing but pure nonsense comes out of “Kelthar’s” keyboard.

I think think he actually believes himself.
I mean seeing his post before yours it seems his memory is failing him completely so I think it is probably something like a gold fish swimming in circles.

It would be , if the trend continued like this for a substantial period of time.
You see what you did there, though? You’re talking about one single point on that chart, I’m talking about a channel that has persisted for years.
36 periods favored you. Versus 5 which were even, 2 where Terran was favored (all the way down to… 48.42%).
SO VERY EVEN!
You are talking to someone who is either so incredibly brain damaged that he can’t understand very simple statistics, or is a blatant liar. Either way he can’t be helped. Talking to him is pointless.
So you are asking me why you don’t see Earth curvature from plane window? If Earth is round than you should see it, right? Wrong.
Stop using cherry-picked data.
In NA where people in general suck at StarCraft. Might also have something to do that there are far less people playing the game than in EU.
In EU Lowko isn’t even in GML. Last time I looked he was hovering around 5200.
You can see it actually. Thats how the ancient greeks figured it out. Watch a ship pull away from a harbor when crossing the see youll see it appear to sink.
Winrates arent cherry-picked data, theyre the only relevant data.
I know of course.
I can also name dozen other experiments that can prove the Earth being round.
The horizon do appear flat when looking from the window of an airplane though (ironically “alpenglow” of airplanes is one of the ways to prove that the Earth is round).
What I am trying to tell you is that you are arguing just like a flat earther: you cherry picked just one obscure data point that seem to fit your bias, while completely ignoring everything else.
Im ignoring it because the data is not directly caused by balance. Correlation != Causation. We know the winrates at the pro level are caused by balance, or as close to it as we can realistically get, so thats the metric that is used. Thats the metric that has always been used, and the only people who argue against it are trolls and whiners who are trying to talk down to people because they dont want to give up the point theyre trying to make.
Let me get this straight. You either want the numbers to somehow work out to a perfect 50% winrate every single time or you want it to lean in favor of Terran. Before we talk anything about balance, these are the only two possibilities. What are you looking for? And ignore the obvious BatZ troll - I think we all know he is in his own world
