yea SQ rly doesnt mean much I feel kind of bad for the guy who did all this work. It's interresting but rly noobs should stop thinking of it as something more reliable than game score or apm

What? That is the complete opposite of what you are supposed to conclude from the analysis.

I'd say the ability to spend resources is generally of a lot more importance than apm and game score.

If you think how well you you spend your money is less important than game score or apm, you're a fool.

Yet ToD has one of the best SQ avg. (ranking 5th). I'm pretty sure it was concluded in the original article explaining SQ that there were no differences in SQ within the races.

HuK won in part because of his lower SQ. Protoss benefits from floating money to be able to warp in extra units wherever they want and HuK has said in interviews that he often overmakes warpgates for this reason. It appears to also be strongly race dependent. All three Tosses had their highest SQ on PvZ match ups. This is probably because that matchup favours less warpgate units. In PvP, the 4warpgate is common. In PvT, money must be floated to defend from drops.

This is unbeleivable however the margin of error is still pretty significant because of what can happen in a game and that requires to save some minerals etc.

However, if all these players played eachother for 30 games and the study was conducted it may be different but thats being super picky.

regardless really really awesome read thanks alot man

This will only get better as more and more games and players are added into the mix. I could see this being something that in the future Blizzard would want to make possible to calculate on your SC2 profile if this gets enough steam behind it.

wouldnt the data be skewed from maxed out armies, because once you can't produce anymore you start to float minerals and such.

also, its kind of bad to compare each race to another, since each has different macro mechanics (i.e. larva, warpgates). a terran with unspent resources is a lot worse than a zerg or toss.


i can't code that well, but if you used a program like sc2gears or something that analyzes replays, you could get a lot more data a lot quicker. have it calculate the SQ of a player up until the player hits 195-200 supply. that seems like a better indicator of pure macro imo.
