Their absolute worst? Under the influence? Any player can tell you that their play can vary widely from day to day It's not about winning/losing. Probably 90% of the submitted games are going to be wins. Your SC2 'DNA' will not really change in a few days, what hotkeys you use, how you use your camera's, macro, micro, apm etc etc. Doesn't really matter I guess | ||

I uploaded a 25 minute game where I thought I played well (not spectacular but I didn't make any really dumb mistakes) and eventually got out macroed. Awesome project, by the way. | ||

Their absolute worst? Under the influence? Any player can tell you that their play can vary widely from day to day Good Point. A single game is a really a single sample from the full distribution of performance (on any particular variable) that a player might produce. If people's play varies wildly, e.g. Bronze when drunk and Masters when "in the zone", then we might have a hard time saying precisely how good a player is based on this one sample. Ideally you'd want a perfect estimate of whatever variable you want to measure, but of course that's not easy to do. Even Blizzards matchmaking system, which is doing essentially that with skill, isn't perfect. One of the advantages that our study will have over all the other expertise studies, is that we have the possibility to get a really large sample of players from each league, so the aggregate estimate (of, say, the mean APM of a gold level player, for instance) is likely to be pretty good, even when our ability to estimate the abilities of a single player might not be so good. Long term, we hope to find people who are interested in participating in more detailed research and willing to give us 50 games and not just 1. Then we can have better estimates of each player, as you suggest. | ||

I just submitted my most recent ladder match, it was however, a win. but you bring up a good point, I'm sure there is going to be a trend of individuals who are only going to submit games that they have won. | ||
