Statistics
We pulled average completion time for upgrades per each league this week. Check to see how your upgrade timings compare for the average of your league!
League | Average Stim Research Time |
|---|---|
| Bronze | 12:36 |
| Silver | 12:26 |
| Gold | 11:22 |
| Platinum | 10:59 |
| Diamond | 10:54 |
| Masters | 10:59 |
| GM | 10:26 |
Stim is researched a full two minutes and ten seconds faster in Grandmaster then it is in Bronze!
League | Average Chitinous plating Timing |
|---|---|
| Bronze | 29:55 |
| Silver | 31:19 |
| Gold | 22:19 |
| Platinum | 23:23 |
| Diamond | 22:22 |
| Masters | 21:22 |
| GM | 22:05 |
It looks like 22 is fairly standard from gold league and onwards.
League | Average Storm Timing vs Terran |
|---|---|
| Bronze | 20:52 |
| Silver | 19:09 |
| Gold | 17:12 |
| Platinum | 16:57 |
| Diamond | 16:11 |
| Masters | 16:12 |
| GM | 13:36 |
Colossi openers probably drag the average storm timing downwards, meaning the faster average for Grandmaster could simply be because more Grandmaster players open Storm first.

Hero Units
This week we have a 72 kill Void Ray and 52 kill Oracle.
We cannot hold!
I don’t know if the Zerg was a smurf trolling or someone trying out TheStaircase, but this Zerg player just sent endless waves of no-speed Zerglings at the unfortunate Protoss player. Watch the Protoss Heroes try to hold them off here: http://sc2replaystats.com/replay/737345
