My SQ in games of less than 10 minutes (read: against protoss and when I lose badly to zerg) Is around 73.6 which puts me at master level, although I'm in Gold.

In games LONGER than 10 minutes however is around 51.3 which puts me around Gold, where I should be.
Whereas my overall score (63.4) put me in platinum-near diamond.

(This was all based on the last 10 games I played with 600 average income and above and excluding some practise matches).

Sorathez, those numbers you need to work on your macro when you are on multiple bases (that is, games longer than 10 minutes). Check out a few of your replays, and if you still are unsure how many gateways/robos to build, ask a higher player what building compositions they have on 2/3/4 bases.

Beware of statements such as "my overall score put me in platinum-near diamond". The SQ doesnt indicate that at all - it is just saying that you are mining minerals and spending them at a rate consistent with a platinum player. But a platinum/diamond player may do things you do not, such at multitasking drops, micro, scouting and positioning.

At the end of the day SQ is a tool on one element of the game. But still very useful.

I'm well aware of this, it was merely a statement based on the data I have collected.
The overall score thing, was based purely on the spending quotient, I am not nearly silly enough to believe it makes me a platinum/diamond level player :P StarCraft is an intricate game, and macro is but one part of it.
