EDIT: Just a note on the study, though I'm sure you've already thought of this. You are asked about mouse sensitivity, but this is also dependent on the mouse you have, the windows sensitivity setting, and in many gaming mice also the driver settings I think. Though you may be measuring if they use a quicker/slower speed than their standard windows speed, just thought I'd point that out. | ||

Awesome project, amazing that you were able to get this up and running, you must be very dedicated to your work! I've saved most of my replays that track my journey from bronze to high masters, hopefully they'll be of use some day. Can't wait to see the results, and how they will impact e-sports, I'm pretty sure that the koreans would be very interested in how to best train a student to look at the minimap. | ||

Have you considered creating an automated replay-uploader (like SC2Gears?) that uploads any 1v1 played by the participating users? This would also enable you to run a general analysis on the rate at which single players improve in various aspects in comparison to say, their league. | ||

very nice article. I will participate. I love the fact that older people are into a video game. I'm 36 now. I told myself when I was growing up that I will never stop playing video games. I never thought it would come this far however. LoL. | ||

I completed the survey before it was cool, just sayin'. Well, there are probably more people like me that just upload the latest replay quickly, and get back to work. I wouldn't worry about it much. But yeah, it might be best if people just upload the most recent replay (which is roughly what they were asking for). | ||

I could imagine that a player would have an interest (even if subconscious) to only submit videos they consider "good". I would guess this is correct, I myself rank my games from 1-5 on a scale (5 is best) and I uploaded a four. Since i just began gaming again and is currently in gold (meh) when I used to be diamond, i guess that kind of proves the point; We enjoy showing something good becouse it makes us feel better. One way, simpler than actually getting the process automatized, would be to get players to upload both one loss and one win. Maybe it wouldn't help very much though, another option would of course be to upload the 5 latest games and then some computer would later randomize which one to use. Anyway, interesting research! I look forward to reading your paper in Science =) | ||
