This almost reinforces the good macro will help you get better mentality for it will get you to those higher leagues, and it isn't until your macro is quite up their that decision making starts to make a difference (hence the difference between diamond and masters, decision making and reaction). Grandmasters to masters difference is also quite interesting, but that may be just because that shows all of masters which waters down the top of masters who are probably on par with grandmasters. | ||

That is: lower skilled players stay in games longer after they've already lost. This goes beyond things like command center floating and building hiding, which I would believe happens more as the skill level is lower. The player in the position of winning stop or slows creation of workers and spending, since trying hard isn't as necessary any longer. This situation is much more common in lower league play and is not a determinant of their win/loss performance and should not be viewed as a skill-based cause of their league placement. Idra is the perfect example of the opposite extreme. There is very little "dead time" near the end of his games. If he's lost, he leaves immediately without slowing down macro rather than dragging out the game and lowering his macro/time "score." Result: The gaps between leagues in all presented graphs is exaggerated. | ||

However, sc2ranks probably can get this done pretty easily, as it gathers its info from the match history. Yes I think SC2Ranks would be able to do this. | ||

I just did the SQ test for a longer game where i had sloppy macro and i got a higher score than most 10-12 minute games i played despite the ratio of unspent resources to average collection rate being lower In a longer game, there is a greater chance of being sloppy since it's not difficult to play like a pro in the early stages. | ||

The empirical data supports what many higher level players know intuitively. | ||

Also what we see here is the top 100 best bronze players and so on correct? I understand that you used scatter plots and then inserted a trendline, but wouldn't it have been beneficial to take a myriad of level players, mid level to higher instead of just the 100 best? I would like to say that i'm very happy to see this caliber of math on a forum like this :D Ready more closely, only the grandmasters are the top 100, the other leagues are a randomly selected division. | ||
