Methodology
I used the data from Spawning Tool to generate all of these statistics. Notably, replays for WCS 2013 season 3 and the current WCS season have not been released, so those are not included in the current sample. Some players have more data from other recent tournaments, whereas others may be based on older data with different play styles.
If you get chance, please poke around with the data on Spawning Tool and share any other interesting trends you find!
