I don't qm much, but i have 3-4 times a month at most. From what I've seen, there are a LOT of inexperienced players playing as yuri because they see how op it is and are smart enough to realize that (takes about 10 iq). The reason you see so many iraq players winning and playing is because it's one of the best counters to yuri. And most players who dont stoop to using yuri use iraq for that reason.
As a reply to the above, I want to point out that using cncnet ladder statistics is literally idiotic for ANY faction...it is such a small pool from which to derive statistics that it's not a good idea to use win percentages as a measure for a faction's power. Not to mention all the ra2 pros joining up to cncnet who almost all use iraq. Like i mentioned above, inexperienced players use yuri because it's so blatantly obvious how overpowered the faction is. This drives down the yuri win percentage heavily.
Most importantly to Yuri sympathizers, it's not nearly as much about knowing how to play vs the faction as it is how overpowered it is. Your OWN CREATION mx is proof that you yourself agree with this fact. Also watch any stream by any yuri player....3 apm. The sov playing vs them? yeah....
But as for the main point of this thread...multi engi would be a good step toward stopping laming.
