Also, it'd be interesting to put these on a proper timeline all together.

This is sexy.

Never considered visualizing this information. Can you make a streak graph, where there is a horizon, with vertical consecutive wins as a vertical line above the horizon, and the following consecutive loss streak below the horizon?

how about color coding the matchup? (versus zerg/terran/protoss split)

It's just a bit of work to parse the TLPD pages. Split is easier to do.

So I put together this graph manually. Quite a labor, and I'm not sure if the result is any nice, but with the manual method I can't play with any parameters (like representing a streak as a square block rather than a line to better reflect time and dominance although gotta fix allignment then.. hrmm).

Damn I didn't read carefully and figured that white = win, black = loss. Now my brain hurts as I'm trying to "invert" all the colors . Really cool idea though.

Man, it makes me sad every time I watch Jaehoon play. He's obviously a skilled player or else he wouldn't get played, he just can't play well on the stage. Poor guy.

Wow, Flash since July 2009.
According to Reach, he is the fastest learner he has ever seen. He start bw only like 2/3 years ago. Infact, his bw history knowledge is so limited, he didn't even know what the map Guillotine was.

Just a question on how you obtained the win-loss data for the players-- is there a public source that you used that has these data that is easily accessible (ie: as opposed to webcrawling through TLPD to get the data for each player and such)?

Anyway.... It's almost sad that I can look at Flash's data and figure out exactly what caused those white bars.

Nada, flash, and jaedong are all amazing; for the greater part of their career (and for flash practically his entire career) are in the black.

that being said, in terms of black-ness, flash and oov look the darkest (oov right when he started and flash right now)

It would be cool to see these lined up on a rough timeline of when the games were played, however I realize that's not possible as the number of games played in a certain period is different for each player. But it would make the shift in dominance over the years more visual

The probability of Kim Carrier getting all those predictions wrong is similar to the probability Flash loses a TvT. Kim Carrier MUST BE a genius. His only big mistake... STORK.

Just saw this thread for the first time. I guessed NaDa, Flash and Jaedong. I should have guessed Boxer, but I was confused by how it seems like he's won a lot recently (which is not what the barcode is saying -- it's saying that among his most recent games, a good number have been wins, but many of those games are not really recent) [EDIT: I mean "winning a lot" relative to NaDa, who I correctly guessed almost immediately... for whatever reason, I just knew that the second one was NaDa]. Oov and Savior had a bit... shorter... barcodes than I would have expected. Then I remembered belatedly that back then there were far fewer games played per year than there are now, so even if you're consistently making it deep in tournaments, you aren't necessarily playing that many televised games. In that sense, it's much easier to judge relative skill level of players in today's era than it was in the past, when a little bad luck with your bracket in Starleague could mean hardly playing anything for a couple months.

It would be interesting to line something like this up relative to time periods, but realistically impossible of course (since players tend to play a lot more games when they are winning than when they aren't qualifying...).
Even though this Proleague bullshit has been completely bogus, I really, really, really do not see how Khan can lose this. I swear I will kill myself if they do. - nesix before KHAN lost to eNature

Based on the feedback here (http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=189421&currentpage=17#329) we should update this slide.

A good first crack would be to
1) broaden (add more players--perhaps whole TBLS + inclusive set of KeSPA/PR/ELO top 10)
2) deepen (make chart up to date)
3) categorize/organize (place barcodes parallel to a common x-axis timeline)

I have some capacity this weekend. TL community: would anyone else like to pitch in? Okum: would you be willing to share the algorithm used to build the chart?
Jaedong beats other players. Bisu beats other players, in PL. Flash beats Starcraft.

If it's possible to slot that into the TLPD (both to pull W/L data and also integrated into the TLPD) that'd be really cool o/ Sorry I can't really help though, no technical prowess here.

As I said, it's just a quick and dirty Python script to scrape the TLPD.

+ Show Spoiler +


# usage: python plstat.py player_id player_name
import sys
import urllib
import Image, ImageDraw

pl_id = int(sys.argv[-2])
pl_name = str(sys.argv[-1])

URL = ("http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/details.php?section=korean"
"&type=players&id=%i&part=games&league=standard&tabulator_order_col=1"
"&tabulator_order_desc=1&tabulator_search=&tabulator_page=%i")

results = []
for n in range(1,100):
print "Processing page", n
data = urllib.urlopen(URL % (pl_id, n)).read()
new_results = False
for i, line in enumerate(data.splitlines()):
if '<strong style="padding-left:1px">Win</strong>' in line:
new_results = True
results.append(1)
if ' Loss' in line:
new_results = True
results.append(0)
if not new_results:
break
print "Read %i games, %i won, %i lost" % \
(len(results), results.count(1), results.count(0))

results = results[::-1]
im = Image.new('1', (len(results),50), 0)
draw = ImageDraw.Draw(im)
for i in range(len(results)):
draw.line((i, 0, i, im.size[1]), fill=1-results[i])

del draw

im.save("barcode_%s.png" % pl_name)

Got 5/7 right, missing Savior and oov because I would have thought their bars would have looked more dominant than they did. Was a fun test as someone who's followed the scene for only about a year. This is very cool! Unique idea!!

Fun bump!

with Bisu's huge proleague wins I would figure there would be more black regions at the end of the bar.

OP was in May of 2010, which is just after Bisu had his awful slump in March. If it included up to the present, then yes, I imagine we'd be seeing a lot more black.

That is totally because they make it deep into almost every Starleague. So many Bo5s played, whereas Bisu never reaches those stages anymoar.

The only ones that were obvious to me were FlaSh and NaDa. FlaSh because it is darker than the others and NaDa because the bar is so damn long.

I got Nada on the fact that it had several peaks.

Flash's white part in the beginning must be Daum OSL. Looking at how black it was before that, there must have been a lot of buzz surrounding him in that OSL. 14 years old and owning the scene from the start.

I'm surprised that noone have requested Jangbi. Fantasy could be interesting too, and Best.
