It would interest me, if the players who left are distributed equally over all leagues or if e.g. more less skilled players left the game

This won't be possible from the basic data, because Bnet automatically assign 20% of population to each league (2% to Master). The only way to track what you want is looking at every player individually, I think.
Thank God and gunrun.

Actually, I can see what league a person was in during their last active season, I'll see what I can do on that.

Probably with HotS the interest will increase once again (if they don't fuck it up...)

Ok, so the ladder drops in NA must be from all those people who smurf and beat lower leaguers so bad that they break their computer and never play StarCraft again in their entire life which then causes people in other leagues to drop down and then they get mad, break their computer, and never play StarCraft again, which will then result in a never ending cycle of people stopping playing until the only people left on the NA server are half-assed pros in numbers so low that GM league is reduced to 50 people as compared to 200, and yet all 50 slots are occupied by Koreans with 10 accounts each. Boom. Run-on sentence that predicts the future.


Anyway, thanks for the spider data OP, hope that my prophecy doesn't come true. Still, the numbers now are somewhat promising, though it does go to show how many people don't 1v1.
I hate when people compare SC2 and rochambeu. One race isn't fucking supposed to counter another one. | Protoss isn't OP. Their units on the other hand....

I've added a table of which league a player was in in season 3, if they did not return in season 4, from no 1v1 games, to bronze, to grandmaster.

You mean the part where Vanilla was a boring grindfest compared to the other expansions?
Anyway, declining numbers every season isn't rlly strange.
SC2 isn't a big game but quite some people like to watch it.
When HOTS releases the numbers will probably be the same or a little higher then in S1-2 again.

These numbers are a whole lot higher than the ones on the topic. Is it because the topic used adjusted s3 data?


Looking through these data, I am of the conjecture that more players gave up playing 1v1 ladder compared to players that stop playing altogether. How complicated would it be to test this measure?
Thank God and gunrun.

They very much do. Less players means less people directly involved with the game. It's not a very promising trend for the long run, especially if other games come along that grab people's attention.

Since when did ladder mean whether people played sc2 or not? Most people I know play customs due to ladder anxiety or play custom maps with friends cause they suck and don't wanna get pummeled by those that have developed experience and know the metagame well.

This is normal WoL has been out for sometime and people got bored of playing.

The stream audience is still getting bigger so it's not a problem and after HoTs there should be a huge influx of people and the same with LoV.

We have two major expansion packs coming out I wouldn't be worried (or maybe even more?)

Yes, this is raw data. I probably should show the real data before I show adjusted in cases where I mess with it, but, meh.

Also, your conjecture is correct. Look at the table (and/or graphs) of players with x number of 1v1 wins, vs x number of any wins. 1v1 lost 15-25% of their players, while 'all' went from -4% to +10%. If I could see custom game data, that would be a fascinating 3rd puzzle piece, but alas.

Thx for ur additional per league analysis. Some clanmates of mine noticed a skill increase after a few months of being absent because they were placed in lower leagues. Though i won't deny that people's skill increase when they play, it seems that also the leaving of more lower league players are responsible that skill in lower leagues is increasing due to the 20% distribution of active player per league (ok, dia is 18% and master 2%).
