Wow, thats such an interesting take on skill level, I remember hearing Huk say that his best game was against STJuly too, strangely enough that was his SQ peak, should be a good gauge on when players are slumping as kind of an average of what their SQ was at and what it's at now...

Goody a top5 macro player in EU?
I actually enjoy Goody (one of the few probably) but hes not a good macro player. not close.
I'm not convinced by SQ being a relevant index of macro skills really. Part of it but somethings missing

If I queue up my production for five units will that give me a higher SQ than a player who never queues up units?

Does the scale account for the Terran's ability to queue units? You can put up to 5 units in the building's queue, which counts as 'spent' but that would contaminate your end results. I loved reading the article, it was like a scientific paper.

Great analysis man very impressed . Just a couple of points that maybe dont show up in the analysis:

1.SQ probably scewed in Terrans favour by their ability to queue units
2.SQ might disfavour the other two races slightly more, due to the 'rounds of units' mechanic used by Protoss and Zerg (Warpgate rounds and production rounds after lava injects)

Hard to say how to account for these problems though

Overall great stuff, nice to see how in-depth we can start to quantify a players ability to macro. Also good to see my fellow Brit DeMuslim topping the charts

But terran income is higher so it's hard to spent more ressources? XD.
So yeah basically these data are not very meaningful

SQ is not a particularely great indicator imo but it does seem to have a decent correleration with skill level. It also seems to portray some decent features that it's relatively independant of average game time and race making it easy to measure. Still all in all it seems a bit of a useless statistic.

APM however is also quite the useless statistic and still get's cited a lot so there is still a good chance this might linger around.

This was really cool.

Everyone's talking about how Protoss pool money with warpgate research. I think it would be interesting to see if a Protoss who didn't get warpgate and just queued units like a Terran had a higher SQ. Could be interesting and it would prove whether the warpgate mechanics results in a lower SQ.

He queues a lot = Low unspent resources.

Nice analysis!

I am surprised, as many other here, that you don't see a larger SQ for terran at all levels, due to queuing. Weird! Does that finally prove, as we all suspect deep inside, that terrans are noobs with inflated MMR due to imbalance?

Looking forward to see if the koreans mechanics are indeed at a higher level.

And it'd be nice to see nesteas SQ in that blizzcon game where he stacked over 10k resources a large fraction of the game. Bronze level SQ in blizzcon final?

Goody is 5 in EU? I guess 12 queued siege tanks explains that?

You can think I'm wrong, but that's no reason to quit thinking.

Just finished the read, was really interesting and loved it. Thanks for putting in the time, it looks like you really worked hard on this. Also we learned that the key to spending your money is breaking your arm's as much as possible, I see now lol... jkjk. Great Job!!!! : )
