On average, terran is most devastating if the game goes to the late-mid game. | ||

You could get 20 minute average with 4 minute 6 pools and 36 minute 5 base epic macro games too. A proper statistical analysis would require writing over every single result (I only had to calculate average on mirrors myself, which was around 400 of the 1368 games) and do some sorting on time brackets in addition to the matchups. | ||

But it is around 20 minutes in every match-up. I would say that with these statistics we could argue that there is something around the 20-25 minute mark that is pretty important. Because if the average is around the 20 minute mark I want to conclude that "normal" games end around the 20-25 minute mark. Not pointing a finger to you of course, but what I find even more annoying than treacherous statistics are the snarfs that in every damn statistic thread say: "this isn't enough data, this is crap". You used data from all the games from the GSL, and we are discussing the length in the GSL games. Data can always be used, if used carefully.

I watched close to every game so far and I don't feel it mostly ends because of that. It just ends because mistakes start to pile up. But why does it end around that 20 minute mark? | ||

I reckon it would have to be across all GSL tournaments, or else you'd get a lot of bars that were 100% or 0%, meaning that there was only one game that ended in that time interval. | ||

Lots of really long games. I think it had Leenock vs Clide too? Anyway, 13 min avg game, eh not too bad - Id imagine BW is about 15, at least thats what my avg length was when I checked my old ladder database back in the day. Your memory jinro... GSL 3 was the first GSL you qualified for. YOu came to the semis losing to mc. | ||

Question1: Is there a reason you decided against showing standard deviation in your graphs? Introducing RMS deviation might be a quick way to add information value. Question2: What are your thoughts on the mappool changing over the seasons? Bigger maps = longer games appears to be a reasonable explanation for slightly longer games. | ||

Introducing RMS deviation might be a quick way to add information value. Question2: What are your thoughts on the mappool changing over the seasons? Bigger maps = longer games appears to be a reasonable explanation for slightly longer games. I didn't calculate it at all, and neither did GOMTV. Their stats page looks like this http://www.gomtv.net/records/index.gom?searchType=3&race=T&vsrace=P&season=0&leaguetype=10&leagueid=21&gamever=0&mapid=0 where I get average game length in a matchup in a specific tournament. It says on the same page how many games were played, but if I want to find the SD I'd have to write in every single time for every single matchup and calculate that, and since I'm only using OpenOffice in a simple way I didn't want to start with everything at once, especially since there's almost 1400 games. I did calculate SD for the first two GSTL, not sorted by matchup: GSTL1: Average 1126.23 seconds, SD 445.14 seconds, n = 40. GSTL2: Average 1175.5 seconds, SD 487.70 seconds, n = 42. If we then consider those as independent variables, and calculate the chance of them randomly being that far from each other, I got that there was a 36.8% chance of being within +- 49.27 seconds given that the true average was the same in both tournaments, which means I can't really conclude that it did change. | ||

Some quickstats on maps, all are in real time: Steppes of War had 58 games played in GSL1-GSLJan. Out of those, we had 8 under 6 minutes, 25 between 6 and 12 minutes, 22 between 12 and 18 minutes, and 3 above 18 minutes (25 minutes being the longest and also only above 20 minutes). In comparison Tal'darim Altar have 108 games total, with 8 games under 6 minutes, 42 between 6 and 12 minutes, 37 between 12 and 18 minutes, and 21 above 18 minutes. For steppes the percentages in the time brackets were 13.8%/43.1%/37.9%/5.2%, and for Tal'Darim they are 7.4%/38.9%/34.3%/19.4%. | ||
