Dreamhack Valencia<\/a> is coming up this weekend, and in preparation for that, I fired up Spawning Tool for some analysis. Check out a few observations I made in a TL post\u00a0http:\/\/www.teamliquid.net\/forum\/viewmessage.php?topic_id=421974<\/p>\n

Because Dreamhack releases replays after their events, we actually have a ton of data available for each of these players. I went through the players seeded into\u00a0Group Stage #2<\/a>\u00a0and checked their performance at\u00a0Dreamhack Summer<\/a>. Here’s what I found:<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0Lucifron<\/b>\u00a0beat Sonder 2-0 using almost the exact same opening in both games. He opened with 2 Reapers into 3 CC and Hellions. The builds only start to diverge around 7:00\u00a0(ref)<\/a><\/p>\n

2.\u00a0Harstem<\/b>\u00a0went 4-4 (50%) in PvZ. He cannon rushed in 3 of his 4 wins, and in none of his losses\u00a0(ref)<\/a><\/p>\n

3.\u00a0TheStC<\/b>\u00a0only played TvT in 1 series, going mech in both games against Morrow in by far his longest games (24 and 31 minutes)\u00a0(ref)<\/a><\/p>\n

4.\u00a0Hyun<\/b>\u00a0went 7-1 (82.5%) in ZvT (ignore the issues parsing gameheart games). The games lasted between 9 and 19 minutes, with his 1 loss coming against TheStC in the longest game. His 3 fastest wins, unsurprisingly, came off of Roach-Zergling all-ins\u00a0(ref)<\/a><\/p>\n

5.\u00a0StarNaN<\/b>\u00a0went 0-6 in PvZ. Granted, it was against Hyun, Life, and Pig, but YugiOh isn’t going to be much easier\u00a0(ref)<\/a><\/p>\n

6.\u00a0Stephano<\/b>\u00a0went 6-2 (75%) in ZvZ, losing only to Hyun. He doesn’t build very many Roaches but does build a lot of Zerglings(ref)<\/a><\/p>\n

7.\u00a0Tefel<\/b>\u00a0went 8-1 (89%) in ZvP, losing only to Harstem’s cannon rush. He went Roach\/Hydra in ALL of these games\u00a0(ref)<\/a><\/p>\n

8.\u00a0NightEnD<\/b>\u00a0went 3-1 (75%) in PvZ, using a Gateway Expand build in all of them\u00a0(ref)<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I thought those were pretty interesting, but they also show off some of what you can do with the research tool. You might have noticed that this looks a lot different from the old research tool. After getting some feedback about the valuable parameters and developing an approachable interface, I scaled back the page a bit. The fancier bits about searching over the build orders are still around in advanced search, though I’ll need to revisit that code, too, probably.<\/p>\n

Oddly, my work recently has been at 2 extremes. There was a lot of parsing stuff I needed to go through that basically just result in more accurate data and low-level extraction of data and tags. On the other extreme, I worked with Julie to get a splash of purple and revised interfaces. The result is that the actual core functionality of the site (somewhere between those 2 ends) didn’t change much, so not too many new features to hawk. Despite that, the site is in much better shape than before.<\/p>\n

Anyways, enjoy Dreamhack. I think we’re on the cusp of some really exciting developments with Spawning Tool as we get more replays and hit the core functionality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
