Thanks to Clutch for making episode two such a blast! Admitting he was not a pro, but still coming on the show and explaining what works on ladder at his current skill level is EXACTLY what this show is all about! I couldn't have found anyone better to follow Sheth. And of course, how many people get to hear their names announced the way he did mine? [fanboy moment] If you don't already, be sure to follow Clutch on twitter. Also, check out his Liquipedia Bio.

If you liked this video, please let me know! Feel free to follow my Twitter or subscribe to my YouTube Channel. Also, if you want to find out how to be on the show, send me a PM!

The Tournament Theory series introduce to the public terminologies and theories behind tournament design. The goals of the project is to demystify the thought process behind bracket complexity and transform tournament design from an art into a science.

Chapter 0. Best-of-3 Run Time



Abstract

How long a Best-of-3 set runs matters in StarCraft 2. Every tournament - major or minor, lan or online - utilize the Bo3 for majority of its run, scheduling a hour for each Bo3 round. Why is that? Nobody can really say; nobody ever checked if a hour make sense.

This chapter will resolve that mystery of Bo3 runetime by studying its statistical behavior. Unfortunately, there do not exist a convenient database for match length in StarCraft 2, so no comprehensive data-mining is possible. We chose the regular season of NASL as our representative sample, which consist of 206 sets of bo3.

We found that the Bo3 runtime behaves as a Log-normal distribution. Set lengths of the sample












I think StarCrafter sounds dumb, I think I play starcraft iS too verbose, and I think (Z)Progamer gives a belittling image to (T)What we do as a community (and (T)Way too close to programmer for comfort).

How about instead of all of that, let's call our elites Starcraftsmen?

It sounds fucking (Z)Bad (P)asS. "(T)What you do for a living?" "Oh, I Craft FUCKING Stars." That's right. The honeys won't even ask about the details and be jumping your bone, cause they (Z)Love them Stars.

I've never heard anyone say "starcrafter", tbh anything other than "starcraft player" sounds incredibly stupid.

I usually use "Scraftoids."

Flashback to the ad nauseum colossus/colossi discussions. We should have a one word verb rather than "play startcraft"

I usually refer to myself as a Crafter of the Stars. I get some weird looks, but I'm pretty sure it's unrelated to this.
