I'd actually love to see a game with a SQ of 100, if it's even possible.

Fantastic post, maybe sc2gears can include this SQ thingy in a future patch ?


I would love to see comparison of various renown macro-playrs with strategic ones and the like.

Amazing post. A lot of good statistical information to put the league system into a numerical perspective.

It would really be interesting to see the difference between different regions (Kr vs. EU vs. NA), too

But...perhaps I ask too much. =)

Amazing post, analysis, and writeup. Great quality of work! Now I'll just have to find a math major to explain this all to me.

Very awesome post-- I had a quick question relating to it:

To my knowledge there isn't a way to parse the average unspent resources (or total income) from a replay file (which makes me suspect you must have spent a million years collecting the data in-game o.0)-- would it be possible to substitute average unspent resources with a different metric that would be parseable but still yield a similarly meaningful division? Or would there be a way to estimate within reason the AUR from data in replay files?

damn idra really is a macro monster.

i find the most interesting point is about the relatively little difference (statistically insignificant)between master/diamond.


awesome read, thank you!

Really enjoyed the read.

Made me curious, so I'm off to calculating my SQ now. May be an interesting way to quantify skill improvement.

Or maybe not. But it'll still be fun to keep track of!

Unbelievable post.

In re: Idra though - you can't judge a top level zerg for not keeping their money low... they'll be maxed at 200/200 a lot of time and banking resources.
