Really nice article. I congratulate you on your effort. And it's great to see how do top players spend their resources.

This was probably said a million times already but if not: Protoss can't queue gateways. It would make sense that they have a worse SQ since their main unit producing structures can't queue, and can only make one unit at a time.

I wonder if you could pull stats from thousands of mid-level players for Protoss/Terran/Zerg and readjust based on Protoss having more minerals as a standard.

gateways are 1 of 4 producing structures what about stargates, nexus and robotics. carriers can also que..

I don't see why you would though? I mean, assuming you don't queue as a Terran, why would a protoss have more minerals?

i like this, it really shows some things.

however you can't compare this between races, as for example terrans are the only race that should NEVER get too many minerals stacked up unless they get maxed, while protoss and especially zerg sometimes bank minerals. there may be exceptions though sometimes!

still very cool

most of protoss spending goes into warp in rounds so yeah. but i guess this can be used to compare players of the same race.

This is pretty nice.

I did some testing in single player vs very easy AI macroing my brains out with 10 bases and bazillion overlords managing a 137 SQ and I have to say that if it's correct, that 121 SQ by Ret is absolutely incredible. :O

Do you take into account the average cost of units per race into the calculation? If Zerg and Terran both spend 50 minerals per tier 1 unit, a Protoss player would have to wait twice as long to build a tier one unit.

Statistics ! omnomnomnom

The difference in highest SQ in a game and average SQ is pretty high.
I wonder if SQ could be a good way to measure the player's commitment to the game and shape of the day/moment. Comparing SQ and APM on a game to game basis should reveal some info on that.

there are several situation where Z saves up ressources and larvae (waiting for spire to finish or when it is unclear wether a timing push is incoming e.g. 4 gate) so Z sq might be somewhat lower in average.

Fantastic data spread and analysis. And well written article.

The only thing I really have to say though is, well, DUH. Just like the last article, all this does is show that "better players are better at the game" - be it unspent resources, making workers, killing units, killing buildings, winning games... the top 10 players are top 10 for a reason. I am not sure if anything different was even expected? It's cute, just not interesting... yet!

The next steps are obviously to compare between races and within races, identify statistics that correspond to certain play styles, possibly even analyze these stats at different points during a game and also if they depend on game length (if this is possible), and then start developing relationships this way. Then some real knowledge would begin to emerge regarding the metagame, not just "better players are better."

edit: and the huk/protoss low SQ thing is the right direction to go in. this is where the knowledge is!

Once the data set gets larger, it needs to be broken down by the 6 matchups. I get a feeling some match ups will favor skills that aren't captured in a straight macro mechanic.

Oh, and Ret having a 121 was zero surprise, haha.
