Check has played an enormous amount of games, 50-100% more than most of those around him, which means he's not getting many points per win. The initial thought for explaining low PPW would be a weak strength of schedule which is entirely possible, but his win % is only 61%. Granted, 61% for Z on the Korean server is a good margin above average, but this is also Check that we're talking about- someone who's continually in contention for the title of best Z in the world.
Furthermore, his 61% is still significantly lower than Cezanne's (63%, 196-115), Sulli's (63%, 188-111) and Sketch (66.67%, 96-48.) I picked these players in particular because their PPW is all significantly higher than Check's. It's important to note that all of these players have less points than Check, therefore they lose less and gain more for a win against the same opponent, but Cezanne is less than 80 points behind and still maintains a large lead in PPW.
Sketch is 150~ points behind, but it's still quite a feat that he has by far the highest win % of any Z above 1600 points and has played less than 1/10th the amount of games that Check has. Is his strength of schedule (which he happens to be demolishing) that much higher than Check's to warrant the difference?
Aside from extreme situations like Check let his noob friend use his account or was off racing, what would explain the discrepancies in PPW? I read through ExcaliburZ's FAQs but still can't figure it out.
