Awesome thread! Thank you very much! I wonder how often the player with the higher SQ wins the game

i find it very interesting that low-level players tend to over-make workers in the beginning of the game. i would imagine that throughout the game they were UNDER-making them.

i definitely find this post interesting and i believe that the correlation betweeen not spending your money and your league placement is there (as if i didn't believe most of the pros that say this anyway when giving their lessons )

EDIT: i hate to be a math-nazi, but thats not a histogram

Lol, my average SQ seems to be around 45 and I'm in platinum, guess I now know what to focus on ^^. I'll try to write a little tool to mass-analyze replays for average SQ, maybe a SC2Gears plugin if their API allows it. I'll pm you if I have one.

I am a scientist and I approve of this post.

I've long wanted to do something like this, but without a reasonable interface for acquiring large amounts of data it appears quite onerous to do what you've done. Best case would be for Blizzard to provide some kind of API for match/player records on the server, or just dump giant spreadsheets for the community after every season. These things are taken seriously in every other sport, but its just hard to have the right numbers to crunch with SC2.

Hopefully your post will show the value of looking at the game this way, and we'll get more interest in stats and availability of data.

I'd love to calculate my SQ but I'm completely illiterate when it comes to Excel...I'm even using the 2000 version. Could anyone give me a hand and tell me how to go about it?

you should apload an excel or sth so we can track our own games =)
also..you should analize different matchups too ! instead of only refering to a race

A really fantastic post! I really hope your calculation will become integrated in Sc2gears so that you can check out your SQ without having to calculate manually.

There are so many unreliable variables in this analysis that I am having a hard time accepting this as hard fact and more of speculation. Still, it seems like a good generalist analysis. Also, would have been interested in how you derived the SQ formula. I'm sure there are more variables you could include in your differential equation construction to improve the accuracy of all this analysis.

Try not to use so many "Interestingly"s to start off your sentences next time!

Excellent post, possibly the best one I have read so far. I hope big leagues look at this and possibly use it as measure of macro skill.

Here's a Excel 2000 template: http://www.mediafire.com/?h1cd1f2kdj16p6f

Just put in your numbers and it'll do the rest for you.

This is so awesome! :D Way to put in this much work. I hope you didnt have anything better to do xD
Thanks for the write up tho, great to see a way that the different leagues are ranked out on average.

How long did it take to compile all this data?

This is just amazing. Great post, and gratz for the 500 posts.

I just need to play 10 games as Terran again to see how I fare. I have been playing as zerg for the past week or so, and my practice is just to make drones and lose (yesterday I was in 6 base against a Terran in 2, with 140 drones and 17000 mineral banked )

AUR isn't a good measure.

Low leagues aren't going to max out because of their lack of income.
High leagues are going to max out and generate a bank.
