This whole system is actually amazing. I assume you have setup a program which records data in an external location and then you transfer the information into this thread? How complex is the program - sounds like you wrote the coding yourself? Would love to find out more about the process - I have a few conceptual ideas for use within ACL/WCS.

Yes I wrote the program myself. Basically I have a program written in python which interfaces with the Blizzard SC2 JSON API (http://blizzard.github.io/api-sc2-docs/) and extracts the data including race, clan, league, career games, season games, season wins for each account of a player. Then I aggregate the data across the accounts to get total season games etc.

For things like the #dedication rank / promotions / weekly games/ win % I store the status of all the players (with the account data) on each run and do a comparison between the archived data to the most current run.

I am currently doing a bit of a rewrite to make everything a bit cleaner / robust (Blizzard has been having all sorts of problems lately and I would like the program to automatically deal with it when they do) and it should be a lot easier to reuse parts of the program depending on what you are interested in doing.

Happy to discuss with you any ideas you have. I have a good idea of what data blizzard allows access to so I can probably tell you if the ideas are feasible or not.

The race is based on what Blizzard thinks your primary race is, there is field in the API. I just checked yours and it is still terran. I assume it will change to protoss when you have played more games as protoss but I am not sure exactly how Blizzard determines the number (ie: if it is just more than played as Terran or if it is based on season or recent games etc.)

Did the secondary accounts get removed or something? It feels like I dropped down a heap and that my NA account was removed from the equation - did something break with the patch?

Program re-witten to be more robust and extendable as well as deal with errors on Blizzards end better. This will also feed into the next step which is complete automation.

It is now very component based as well so hopefully parts of it should be easily reusable for what Baldie has in mind, or for other purposes that may come up.

One thing to note: if you leave a league with one of you accounts from this day forward the program will not display you in the table until you have either done your placement match again or played games on your other accounts equal to the games played this season on the account which left the league.
The reason for this is when you leave the league all your stats on your profile page for 1v1 are no longer available until you play your placement match again (I don't know why blizzard does this but that is what I have to work with). This was one reason why people were sometimes showing up with negative games for the week.

Players that have not done a placement match on an account I currently have or that add an account which has no placement match will not be affected. It only comes into play when you would have less games played in a week than the last update.

It says Dark played all 241 games this week? o.0

Also my win/loss rate

Actually I dun mind the season win/loss ratio but not the week's cos that flunctuates too much but I think your formula makes both dependent? so it's fine just not to show both for me :P super thanks

oops sorry Nem. It was not supposed to show the win % for you it must of slipped through on the change. I will fix it.

The Dark games is a small bug from the migration to the new version. I will fix that up too. Thanks for finding it.
