@Monk: Um, I'm not sure what point you're trying to make with your example. In one of your examples there were 1 Protoss, 7 Terran and 6 Zerg by the Ro16 and in another example there were 0 Protoss, 6 Terran and 2 Zerg in the Ro8. The third example shows the races "breaking even", with each race halving in number each round, until the Protoss/Zerg final.

In any event, arguing about the data at this level of specificity is a waste of time. The data you have referred to is included in the Korean Tournament Results data for May (which is accounted for in the Team Liquid graph). What you appear to have have done is revisited the data used for this graph, selected a segment that apparently suits your argument (or at least doesn't look as bad as the rest of the data), and then used this to assert there is no trend.

With the greatest of respect to you Monk, I am not going to debate the figures with you anymore. It is really not worth my time pointing out gross errors of arithmetic (eg overcounting mirror match ups) or trying to explain basic statistical principles such as "don't pick a small part of a data set that suits your argument and then ignore the rest of it". I also suggest it may be wise not to lecture nGenLight (possibly the best Protoss player in Australia) on his macro ;p
