I completed the survey before it was cool, just sayin'.


I don't think this a problem at all. As I understood is this study is about how skills develop with practice (very short summary, I know ), so nothing wrong if you have bronze players uploading the best they are capable of, silver players uploading their best games, etc...

Likewise if you measure the serve speed of a tennisplayer you won't ask him to just serve at a random speed, you will ask him to serve at the maximum speed he can achieve at his skill.

So I have completed the survey and attached a replay! But are we supposed to send in more replays at a later date or is just one entry enough?

Very interesting study! I wish I could do a project like that for my bachelor/master, would be so cool.

Anyway, I filled the survey and sent my last ladder replay.

To CrushDog5:

Remember to consider that people in upper leagues (especially people who put in the dedication for masters ++) are probably more serious about RTS/gaming in general, and more likely to own a "gaming" mouse. What this means it that the mean DPI of someone in masters++ should exceed the mean DPI of someone in lower leagues.

So even if the average "sensitivity" in the survey for GM = 60% and the average "sensitivity" for gold = 70%, GM could still have a way faster ACTUAL sensitivity because they all own gaming mice that have 1800+++ DPI instead of gold leaguers that are more likely to own crappy generic mice with ~400 DPI.

Why only the one replay per person?
why not atleast one win one loss?

I've already done the survey and sent my replay and as much as I am interested in a study like this I am somewhat skeptical. I don't really feel that SC2 is that beneficial to your skills or decision making or whatever you may call it outside of the game. Will your study show how people have developed skills for outside of the game? I am someone who frequently forgets what he is talking about/doing as soon as he is slightly distracted and I also have great difficulty making decisions most of the time. After almost 1000 hours of playing SC2 as well as about another 800 playing DotA, not including time spent on SCBW and War3 I don't really feel like either of these things have improved, perhaps you could say that they became even worse.

However I am glad that this is now in the community headlines and hopefully you will receive more input for your research.

Oh! I almost forgot! I love the image of Beaker in the title page :D

*Bronze League Signal* Oh gawd, this a first. I'm actually needed? *Looks through replay list* Hmmm... not a single 1v1 replay in my list that dates back to August 22nd ._.

I'll play a few a 1v1s tonight and submit you guys one. I watch more than I play, but I'll be glad to go out of my way for the sake of science!

I fully support this amazing effort. Everyone, please do the 5 minute survey and upload one replay. Seriously, you can help eSports at no cost to yourself (save 10 minutes of your time).

Here's my question: you are investigating expertise and the factors therein, but what do you think you'll find?

Another way of putting it: is your mission here to seek and destroy, or do you actually have objectives you want to capture?

Very interesting. This is probably a good estimate of the TL userbase ranking.

I was kind of surprised you didn't ask people if they played a single race or random, and if they switched often.

Might be a decent estimate, yeah. But there are probably many people like myself that was directed to the survey from the battlenet forums.
