Yeah, something was wrong with the numbers, although this time I got 17-11, while you say it's 15-13

Will recheck other seasons as well, and try to finish match duration statistics.

Edit: nope, it's 15-13. I think I have a good system now so errors won't repeat. Thanks for pointing out the inconsistencies, I really want this data to be accurate.

in addition to game length can you include who won the match?

for example
PvT - protoss win: 15 minutes
PVT - terran win: 10 minutes

The average time length says it all.

Interesting stuff. I always knew how bad Delta was, but I was surprised to see the average times of Xel Naga being so low in S4. Thought for sure that map would be as much of a macro map as Metal.

Overall good stuff, statistics are always nice.

Ok, I'm finally done with GSL 3 statistics! I'm really glad I managed to finish this off, as I feel the stats for GSL4 really don't speak that much considering the low number of games played. But with GSL 3, I had a lot more games to work with, so statistic should be a bit better here.

And this took so much more time than it might seem. And slow GOMTV player wasn't helping with that at all.

But let's see..

GSL 3

162 games were played in GSL Season 3.

Average game length was 11:23 minutes.

Average views on VODs is currently at around 69 000.

Map stats:

Player stats:

I've only taken into consideration those players who played more than 5 games, as there were too many of them, and I was getting really tired.

For those interested in raw data, here's my spreadsheet with all the info in it. You will be able to see number of VODs per each map, and even racial distribution (even though some fields are not filled in as I got tired of doing that, and didn't really need racial stats for these tables).

If anyone spots something suspicious, please let me know, and I'll double check my calculations. Will update the OP now, and start working on GSL Season 2 data. And will also see if I can get this into Liquipedia

Edit: oh yeah, and I'm missing one Ro64 game, I think that was MKP getting a bye by his opponent not showing up, right?

I think one interesting fact is that on large maps, protoss mobility seems to be alright probably due to pylons. I think when they remove the small maps, that the advantage will really tip in the favor of protoss and zerg.

I think instead of organizing average game length by games played, doing it by wins / losses would a more telling statistic.

So the player wins his games in an average of X. That may indicate his general playstyle preference or at which time that he prefers to decide the victor.

If He loses his games in an average of Y. That may indicates that he is susceptible to early aggression or mid game allins etc.

So, can someone help me about BW? I noticed quite a few match replays of BW games, even those games people recommend, to be about 10 minutes long. So is there a difference between SC2 and BW in how long a good game is? For example, the game where Jaedong had to kill one of his own drones was fairly short, and I wonder if that's the kind of game BW can give me and still be good, why SC2 games of similar length aren't that well received. Is that a difference in the game mechanics themselves?

Very cool stuff! I debated grabbing these numbers for myself a few times so its great to see someone else did it already.

Here are some stats for GSL4, there's not that many games played so stats aren't that good but it's nice to see that at least average game time is a bit longer.

GSL 4

Average game length is 12:16 min. Average views per VOD is 110,929.
