This implies that all builds are fine-tuned to never have money floating. Although this is more or less the case for Terran and Protoss, Zerg doesn't follow this MO. The most common ZvT build, 2-3 hatch Muta, usually involves periods of time when gas and minerals are floating anywhere from 600 to 1000 of both minerals and gas. This isn't bad play, but the optimal method of having a relevant amount of Mutalisks.

The same can be said for making Broodlords, corrupters in ZvP, and Infestor builds.

Doesnt such small sample size defeat the purplse of this analisys though?

I mean you can get different sets of last 30 games from the same player that provide wildly different results all day.

So what is this data for exactly?


So you're talking about sampling error, which is a fair criticism. We have some evidence, though, to suggest that sampling error is not a major factor in these results.

Take the Euro/US players. That both of those players' SQ values were not significantly changed between their US 30 and their Euro 30, suggests that the SQ values don't vary greatly from 30-game set to 30-game set. Now that's still only 60 games, but the lack of variation between the sets of 30 is rather suggestive.

Again, it isn't proof that the sample size is robust, but it is a good indication.

can somebody clearify?

SQ = average income/average unspent minerals

am I correct?

No, read the original thread and there is an exact equation for it.

Wouldn't Terran's SQ naturally be higher simply because they can queue units up in their production facilities?

I'm not trying to take away from this excellent analysis by the way .


If you're aiming to purely increase your SQ then yes; however, since everyone in Ladder games (at least at the top level) isn't queing things up or spending just for the sake of spending, it shouldn't be a factor.


Thanks. Very good point.

Why no t-values?

I'm not totally versed in stats. My major, bio, mostly flirts with them. Still, I wonder why did you choose exclusively two-tailed t-tests?

As I say, I'm far from expert, so take my questions as questions if you take them at all.


Because when one doesn't have a clear assumption that it is okay to use a 1-tailed t-test one should always use the more "foolproof/safe" 2-tailed test.
Also he provides p-values, which is all that is needed to asses whether or not H0 can be supported.

It's nice to see my average SQ close to Sheth's, my min SQ in low Masters and my high SQ about Ret's average. Now I know I don't need to macro better and instead I should actually start learning some timings and maybe to control my units...

Why doesn't that assumption exist for the Idra ladder vs. Idra tournament comparison?

I may have missed it earlier in the comments but has anyone explored whether SQ is a good predictor for the outcome of a game? There are clearly limitations to using it as a prescriptive indicator given that it doesn't take into account micro or tactical/strategic decision making but I'd be interested in seeing how frequently the person with the higher SQ wins the match. Doing this and observing differences in results in different match ups could also give evidence as to whether SQ is an equal indicator of skill across all races (If TvT the higher SQ player wins 67% of the time, PvP they win 53% of the time it's probably a more useful metric for judging Terrans etc). More data is probably needed to do this but I think looking at SQ in head-to-head match-ups could help people determine how important SQ is.

Someone should figure out how to pull this data from a replay. I haven't fiddled around with reps myslef, but I'm sure it's possible with enought time.

GoODy in front of IdrA in a Statistic about macro abilitys. Who would have thought that


Just shows that queuing is an incredible tool to keep up your macro while yo u need to attend to other things.

Also a good explanation why terrans tend to gave the best SQs, and protoss the worst:

All terrran production is queued, so it is easiest for them to have constant production and cushion slip-ups.

Most protoss production is from Warp-ins. Not only can't it be queued, it also requires direct vision and attention on the battlefield and sometimes rewards not spending and build up warpgate count.

The zerg larva production is in between in how much player attention and involvement it requires. While there aren't queues to keep up the production times for you, stockpiling larva can make up for previous slip-ups to a degree.

In short, it is easiest to be efficient with terran production, as long as you know when, what and how many structures to build. The efficient automatic use and allocation of production slots more than makes up for temporarily tying resources into the queue. Terran production is most forgiving with the timing of the production button presses.
