Players in higher leagues tend to score higher. Each histogram is constructed using a bin width of 8. SQ does quite a good job of separating the games of players from different leagues. But I wouldn't really say that it does a good job of separation. Especially given the primary thing people are going to immediately do with this: Calculate their own SQ, and then complain "OMG my SQ is higher than the average Master's league players SQ".

Looking at the histogram, 71 is still well within the fat part for gold players. | ||

Nice work and easy to understand, thanks whatthefat I think there is a huge difference in skill between high masters and low masters. I think master league is like top 3k in each region. And while top 200 master league players prob averages close to 80, many of the low leauge master players probably scores somewhat similar to the diamond league. I would be surprised if there was such a difference in skill between high diamonds or low diamonds for instance. | ||

In retrospect I wonder what's changed to make the antithesis of this come true? I would say that the metagame evolved a lot + a few patches. Lalush's post was written at the time where Protoss were just maxing out on Colossi+Voidrays a moving across the map, and his statement at the time was pretty accurate. | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/7IK2s.png) Which, based on the last chart in the OP, puts my macro on part with your average Masters level player? Pretty pleased. Very interesting stuff, I'd be interested in seeing others charts too, on all levels. | ||

Because of that, keeping your unspent average close to zero is impossible. There is also the case of purposely banking your resources with a maxed army and increasing production/economy. You can sometimes see a protoss banking 5000+ resources because when he loses his army he will be able to warp in 50 zealots instantly. But I think in a TYPICAL game, it's a good measure. Also, as a side note, I'd like to see average unspent / average income ratios (spending quotient) as a good stat to put on stat tracking websites. Looking at either alone in a replay or end game scoreboard doesn't tell me much. If we can easily personally track our SQ it would be a good indicator that our macro is improving. Too bad Blizzard would never do this. I wonder if sites like SC2analysis or SC2buddy can implement this. Someone should poke them and direct them here.

Waiting for mutas to pop is the only clear-cut case. Average unspent resources may not be a perfect indicator of macro proficiency, but it is the best one we've got. I think it's a good measure, because you are comparing spending efficiencies vs others who are probably doing the same thing. The comparison across leagues was very interesting. | ||
