I'm actually surprised at how low the SQ is for the ladder players. That is terrible.

Maybe seperate coefficient needed for each race since protoss pool money and then mass warp in.

I think some of korea's highest SQ is going to be polt and MVP.

Exactly what I was thinking.

Great analysis and really opens our newbie eyes on how extremely important spending and earning money is. While most people will say that is common sense, you probably/most likely did not understand the extremes. Thank you for the incredible analysis Whatthefat.

Interesting results between EU and NA I must say...

Yeah, Terrans should have the best SQ overall. Being able to queue your production facilities to the nth degree really helps sinking money

You are such a baller whathtefat, this is really interesting . Although I do think it's hard to calculate for toss because of wg mechanic

this is really amazing

It would be great if this turned out to be a good predictor for tourny results but i think with SC2 this just won't be the case

I would bet though that this would be a decent predictor for BW

Is there any way to see how SQ changes with respect to game length? It seems to me that it was be easy to have a high SQ in a short game where you are only on 1-2 bases, but in drawn out games it becomes much tougher (supply cap). It would be interesting to see how well the pros do compared to other GM or Master level players in keeping their SQ high during long games.


Here's an analysis I did a while ago with respect to game duration for the top 100 players. I didn't find any significant effect of game duration (and results were similar for lower leagues).


Thanks! I agree that it doesn't seem to matter.

Another excellent statcraft thread - thanks. I've got a strong gut feeling that, as you mentioned, the warpgate mechanic (or rather, the way that lets players build gateways instead of units while deliberately floating money) has a lot to do with the lower Protoss scores, so it'll be good to have more data to analyze that with!

Incredible post. I'm kind of a math junkie so could you go a little more into detail of what a number above 100 in the SQ means? I recall you writing on your original SQ post that numbers above 100 were extreme cases. Does the SQ take into account queuing units in a production facility, for example, 5 SCVs queued on a single CC? This would make spending money easier as Terran, since you have to wait for larva as Zerg and warp gate cycles as Protoss.

Still, congratulations on your analysis, very interesting read!

I also find it hard to understand why the SQs would be similar across races.
I know from the first post on this subject, you said there seemed to be no statistical difference between races, but like many people here I find it hard to understand why it isn't easier to have better SQ as Terran because of queuing vs having Protoss's warp-in mechanic.

I'd definitely be interested in the SQ for All leagues in Korea, since a long standing debate is stuff like if Gold Korea > Platinum America etc...

Great job!

I do hope this topic will be re-spotlighted once the other regions are ready.

I was thinking this aswell but it's 7am here so I couldn't wrap my head around why that is other than some generic thougths. If someone could explore this are a bit in this thread I would greatly appreciate it.
