wow, man. very impressive study. a superb combination of sound science and in-depth knowledge of the game and the pro-scene. i really think you should do this full-time. and i also think TL should crowd-source small donations to fund studies like this one! pm me to discuss this!

Great article.
I would love to see the SQ between MUs.
A player should get a higher SQ when his income rate is higher. Taking in consideration that players can macro well with every income they have, players should not be able to get very high SQ when playing ZvZ (their income just isnt high enough to get a high SQ).
Would like to see if PvP has lower SQ because of low eco play than other MUs (this could also explain HuK and MC scoring low on MLG, they has mostly PvP games)

PS. Maybe I do the math wrong, but dont think so.
Always look on the bright side of life

lol. It's funny but it's actually not a bad point. Shame there isn't a way to access the replay files and include queued units in unspent resources.

Extremely good work! Well, I guess coaching should focus even more on "pylons & probes, pylons & probes" and "for every x money, you must build a macro hatch!" now

As I scientist, these type of articles warm my heart. Great writeup. Surprised that Idra's macro is THAT good. I thought it was overhyped. Hoping to see more SC2metrics soon.

First of all: great article, good effort,
but wow im TOTALLY confused by the axes.

What does the left axis with the games mean?
Please some give me an example on how to read a graph.

Isnt the games number just the sample size? That shouldn't be in the graph as one of the axes then.
Im totally confused, please help lol :D

the amount of games with the corresponding SQ. So, for example, ToD has submitted 15 games with 90 SQ

Yeah i thought of that too, but by that logic he also submitted 10 games with SQ 85 and 95 ???
Makes no sense t-t

No, you can see the points where the graph changes steepness, the rest is just a fit. So he also submitted ~6 games with ~82 and ~5 games with ~98. (on the EU graph)

Sexy, I agree with the majority of people when saying protoss's SQ is slightly higher because we cant warp in between cycles the top scoring games in terms of SQ both featured a large amount of collosi.

One issue I have:

Zergs, when going for muta builds, deliberately pool resources and float them for a while before the mutas come out, which raises their average unspent resources a fair bit. Going for infesters they float a lot of gas as well, etc.

Protoss play a heavy gateway style often will gain 600+ minerals and a bunch of gas too before their warp gates come off cooldown and then they burn them all at once. That would raise their average unspent resources.

Terran is the only race that doesn't float a lot of resources by design.

One should compare the metric between people playing the same race, but not compare across different races.


I concur.

Seeing GoOdy with such a high SQ reveals an obvious flaw in the system at the moment. To get a truly accurate gauge you would need to count resources tied up in queued units as unspent, but that would mean that require so much work and is not really feasible unless Blizzard implement this, or there is a tool that can analyse replays for this information.

edit: I also thought it was interesting how IdrA really seems to turn it on for tournaments. I was disappointed with his score on the ladder, considering that his reputation is as one of the best macro Zergs in the world, but seeing his score at MLG, particularly against Bomber you can see that he certainly does deserve his reputation.

Awesome article, that was really impressive.
it also confirms what I knew before: Demuslim is a damn macro monster!

So ToD submitted 15 games with SQ of 90, 6 games with SQ of 82, 5 games with SQ of 98 and 1 game with SQ of 106. So he submitted 27 games overall (for EU graph)?
I guess it makes some sense, but it just feels kind of unnecessary.

Anyways thanks^^
