The response from the SC2 community has been fantastic. We've taken into account all of your comments, and made corrections based on your feedback. Thanks to those who let us know that the survey was quick and painless to do; that was what we were trying to accomplish.

It’s taboo to analyze your data before it’s all collected, but we thought we’d give you a sense of where we are now.

We have players representing every league. We would love to see more Bronze and Silver players. If you have friends who play casually, or if you are mentoring beginners, please encourage them to participate (and help them find their replay folder). Grand Masters, we know you love StarCraft and we also know you have replays. Please help out. Because an expertise study tracks changes across skill levels, it is critical that beginners and top-tier players are strongly represented.

It’s still early in our 2-3 week data collection period so there is still time for your friends to participate. PLEASE REMIND THEM TO UPLOAD THEIR REPLAY! Half the surveys sent to us have no replay attached. We are studying your screen movements, hotkey use, APM and other factors that we can ONLY get from your replay.

North American players are dominating currently, but there is a strong European contingent as well. We have translated the survey into Korean, and hope to get some responses from Asia soon.

Ways you can help:

1. Go to SkillCraft.ca, complete the survey and upload your replay.
2. Spread the link: by mouth and thread, by tweet and by vid. For the study to have the kind of impact that can spread back to the community (e.g., positive mainstream press) it needs to be mindbogglingly big. People need to think “Wow, that’s a lot of f*ing gamers”.
3. Let us know if you hear about us on any streams. We’d love to know about any press we’re getting and we want to thank anyone who mentions us on their show.
4. We plan to spread the survey around the Korean scene. The problem is that we don’t know anything about the Korean scene; we welcome suggestions.

ANNOUNCEMENT: We will be holding an AMA session on reddit (r/starcraft) this Thursday. Dr. Mark Blair, Director of the Cognitive Science Lab at Simon Fraser University, will answer any and all questions about the project.

Finally, a big thanks to the players that responded to our original post.
