Lets talk about the league distribution for gm across the world.
Since I can’t post the link, just go to ranked ftw . com and click “Stats” then click “Races”. It will give you the breakdown of how many of each race is in each league.
Even after the patch, Protoss is almost 36% of gm while Zerg accounts for only 32.15% of GM and Terran 29.91% of GM.
Terran and Zerg is lagging behind Protoss in every region except for EU, Protoss is ahead of each race in GM.
Yes, last patch made Terran all ins stronger but is that really a way to balance the game? Statistically Terran was closer to Protoss last patch.
I don’t expect race distribution to be 33.33% exactly across the 3 races but Protoss at 35.70% of gm and Terran at 29.91% is a big gap. Terran has more players overall than Protoss since Terran is easier to pick up than Protoss, but Protoss has more players in GM than terran?
Protoss 271 Players in GM Terran 227 Players in GM
Not to mention 1 terran in top 8 in korea, and hes a god in maru… no foreigner using terran has ever had the success that foreigners using zerg and protoss have had… the top foreign starcraft players throughout sc2 history have ALWAYS been zerg or toss. That is indisputable
maybe you dont know, but there are only 200 players in gm, so with “so much ahead” you actually mean, that there are 8 more gm toss players than other races, its if we dont count smurfs and barcodes, omg how is this even possible, !!! 8 !!! more players?
@Farbros your math is off sir so let me break it down for you:
There are 5 servers each with there own separate GM leaugue. There is EU, NA, CN, KR, and SEA. There are 765 people in GM across all regions. Out of 765 people in GM, Protoss has 279 people in GM vs Terran having 227 people in GM across regions. Protoss has 52 more people in GM than Terran across regions, not 8.
If you would have went to ranked ftw and looked you would’ve saw this.
And here is an update: Protoss is now 36.47% of GM as of this morning. Zerg is 31.90% while Terran is at 29.67% of GM
omg, how is this even possibile that out of 1000 gm players (5x200) there are 52 more players of one race? look at that numbers 279 244 227. Maybe we should look at masters? where your “worst gm race” has 500 more players? not 50, but 500
Gm distribution hasn’t meant anything since maybe 2012. Nowadays there are numerous smurfs, heck I think Neeb has like 4 accounts in GM. Also, we have a ton of GM-level players that don’t play very often so they get demoted into masters 1. It’s not accurate at all.
