Protoss' SQ is lower because there's really nothing you can sink your money into in between cycles.

Terran's SQ should be higher because they can queue units.

Yeah I was about to saw just that. If you have 7 gates as protoss with just enough money to use them you will like like 800 resources right before your cycle, so maybe the data is not 100% accurate but it is still a really cool thing you did. Really like the breakdown of the regions ect.

Zerg have to pool resources as well while waiting for larval inject to finish; in a sense, both zerg and protoss macro come in waves of spending, raising average unspent resources.

Awesome Sauce.
EDIT: IF you made the SQs relative to other SQs from the same race, it would HAVE to mean something.

Thanks a lot!

Does SQ account for people that queue units?

For example, If I have 250 minerals and I build 5 marines in one barracks my money will be at 0 but really 200 of it could of been better spent elsewhere.

as you found out that your SQ is only one side of the coin (see Huk) maybe you could device a similar measure for control by using the units lost / resources lost data. Would probably require similar effort to normalize but would be interesting if you can analyze players in different categories. Might even be used in the predictor project to increase accuracy.

that's a really cool idea. it'd be the.... "using quotient" to complement the spending quotient? a standardized unit for unit efficiency would be fascinating to study.

After rereading this, it excited me a lot because it tells me that we are not anywhere near the skillcap for SC2 and games/players have a ton of room to improve.

I think back to hardcore macro in SC1/BW where the best players spend their money almost perfectly. Once each race and players evolve more, I imagine that the SQ will continue to go up. If people are not spending their money, then there is room to continue to grow strats and builds to maximize resource.

I love this. I would love to see this done for high-level Brood War as well. I know it is a different game, but it has a similar macro/econ game that is much closer to perfection at the top levels.

Why Demuslim and ToD have better SQ on foreign Server?

Demuslim has 92.6 SQ on America ,where is is acutally and 95SQ on Europe
ToD is kinda the same 88.7SQ on his Home Server Europe and 88.9 on America.

I my self play on Korean often since 2 weeks. I my self recognized that I macro better on KR. This is because the lag do not let you micro so good. So you have to macro to compensate the lag of micro. Macro do not need a low ping. Everything in macro feels the same, it just happen 0,5 seconds later^^.

BTW I am on Europe^^

this post is amazing. and like a lot of previous posters, i think that warpgate probably has some factor at play here.

so impressed by this that i'm going to look up your first thread now! please keep it up!

Protoss having lower SQ doesnt surprise me because of having warp in rounds. I have also found that at every level of play I have been, atleast according to SC2gears, protoss have about 60% the apm of average terran and zergs. (notably gold through to diamond) I hope blizzard sorts out the chronoboost mechanic so the better protoss players can more easily differentiate themselves from the lesser ones. At the moment many protoss games feel like top trumps, he shows his hand and one of us wins, theres no give and take.

Thanks for the article, reminds me that macro differentiates players at all levels. I'd love it if people explored this more thoroughly though, the game sample seems rediculously small.
