A highly detailed, analytical, and thorough thread that I enjoyed reading every second of. Not only that, the article also tempts one to look back and just take a look at mechanics (worker production) and review general flaws in play. I can't even begin to imagine the amount of time you put in to this....

Great work! I look forward to more of your threads!

EDIT: Based on that SQ report from last year, the original scale still works well with Protoss. Terran I think could be moved up +25 at every league, while Z could be moved up +30 (5 more than terran).

If the players have improved macro since then, then each race/league would probably move up another 5 or 10pts.

Do the charts account for the fact that GrandMaster and Master players lose a lot more workers because they play Grandmaster and Master players harass a lot more than Bronze-Diamond? I think that is a pretty important factor, because of course a bronze player is going to drop off at a certain point because he is not being harrased and does not need to make more workers, while a masters player can get harrased and would need to make additional workers.
Perfect practice makes perfect.

Do I substitute I and U in the equation with averages of unspent resources and income, or do I substitute I and U for whatever those values are at the end of the replay?

-On the game summary screen, click the second tab: Economy Breakdown.

-Use the UNSPENT and RESSOURCE COLLECTION RATE to plug in the formula.

A bronze player will never lose because he makes too many workers.

What? Played zerg vs 4-gate? I'd wager that smooth macro in bronze league isn't enough to guarantee a win if you're up against an early timing attack. There are a lot of aggressive 1-base all-ins that aren't too hard to execute (ie Bronze can probably hit within 15-20s of a Diamond or higher) and can grab a quick win against heavy econ play.

I think a better way to put it would be: until you go all-in or your opponent does, don't cut workers, they'll pay off sooner than you think. Lower league players may have less total opportunity for worker production due to a prevalence of 1-base attacks, but their average game length should be shorter as well.
