So, it includes GSL, but also NASL, IPL, MLG, and other foreign tournaments. Unlike SC2charts, it doesn't include ladder games.
SC2charts doesn't include ladder.
From their main page
2. Why does the database not include laddergames? The main reason is that progamers don't take it serious. The Battle.net Ladder is where they train their strategies, play for fun and try new things. Ladder doesn't really matter all that much and we wanted to focus on the competitive aspect which is why we limit the database to tournaments and leagues (as well as showmatches, koth and whatever there is).

Well, I still think using your brain > any stat. I don't think TvZ favours Terran that much and I think PvZ favours Protoss.
But even if you only look at stats it's not that bad, people overreact as usual.

At lower levels I imagine what you say is true, but at the top level, (THIS IS ALL JUST GUESSING WITH NO STATISTICAL EVIDENCE)
TvZ
Multi-pronged drops are just so strong against zerg Faster reaction time to muta harass = less damage Better marine splits - zergs do need to micro lings/blings but not as much as tank target-firing and marine splitting and whatnot
With ZvP
Protoss can deathball it up, but as level gets higher zerg can engage more counterattacks, harassment, etc. at the same time Zerg can split army better, use nydus/drops/etc. to prevent toss from moving out
So I think as the players get more experienced, the game balances in a different way. IMO Protoss is by far the easiest to play at a Bronze/Silver level, because you just keep your army together and 1A into your opponent. As players get more experienced... yeah.

Well duh, actually watching the games and thinking about the games is better. Haha I guess you are right, people see numbers and form conclusions without giving it much thought. And yeah people tend to overreact a lot but it kinda bothers me because they discredit the play of the progamers "T/Z/P only wins because OP" "Z/TP only lost because UP" is such a crap mentality to support progamers.
At this rate we won't get legends like Savior, ilovoov, Nada, Boxer, Garimto, Reach, Nal Ra..etc, because when someone makes a strategy shift people only think now "hmmm is that OP? He won because of his race obv."
Such a BS way of thinking. Hahaha sorry for venting

A lot of people are in denial that a problem exists. It is not a coincidence that Terran has been on top for 12 months, with over 10 thousand games a month factored in. Both Protoss and Zerg have spent a lot of time below 45% in some match ups, Terran has never even come close to that.
|
Am I reading it wrong or is this international data only? (aka not Korea)
|
Well.. I don't see how you could change this. If you nerf terran too much, only korean terran could win with them. But if you don't nerf them enough, korean terran will still dominate other races.

No one's saying that MVP and Nestea aren't dominant. The fact is regardless of balance these two are exceptional.
They're, however, considered outliers. When you look at the average Korean pro and realize that the Terrans are hugely outperforming the Protoss ones (and, to a lesser extent, the Zergs) you realize there's a problem. Even discounting MVP/Nestea I bet you'd still see huge discrepancies that are statistically significant.

My mistake. I thought SC2charts was something like SC2ranks.

Tell me the race of the person likely to win IPL, MLG (top 3), and the next 2-3 GSLs (caveated if there's another patch).
Blizzcon too though I would be content with throwing that tournament out.

theres only 900 games this month instead of the like 3k from the other months?

Hey, I'm looking at the sc2 charts site and I can't for the life of me find their database. I want to look at the database so I can look at for example the last 100/200/1000 games put in. Could anybody help me find it?

terran, terran (top3), terran next 2-3 gsls (tvt finals)
blizzcon: terran
after that: bunker time increased by 5 seconds

actually it says otherwise in their faq:
1. What are those rankings based on? The ranking is based on the match database of MyStarCraft.de which is a german website. The database includes all sorts of tournaments and leagues, also weekly cups (quarterfinals onwards). Right now the database is even bigger than the one on TL itself (even though it's pretty close). And of course: as we are german we are reliable!

Ahh. So my guess is the difference between the TLPD and the German Database is that the german database includes more games, and most likely a slightly lower level of play. Thank you so much!

how dare you
more EUROPEAN tourneys included certainly leads to slightly higher skill level if anything

ZvsT and ZvP seem to have changed as percentages. What happened?

Downward slope = Sad Zealot.
