max{Kor Elo, Int Elo - 195, Average(Kor Elo, Int Elo)} But I think that for the sake of consistency the formula should be altered to: max{Kor Elo, Int Elo - 195, Average(Kor Elo, Int Elo - 195)} This is so that when averaged, the international ELO isn't artificially inflated. EDIT: Typo | ||

Oh, another thought: from month to month, some Koreans in the international TLPD will sit at a high Elo simply because they haven't participated in any competitions. Really, the same goes for any player. I think for the long term, a decay system like the KeSPA ranking uses might be a good idea. | ||

I'd love to have a monthly textual ranking which takes into account not only results and stats, but actual gameplay quality and skill.

That said, this ranking looks like a surprisingly accurate representation of who the best players are. This is interesting to me because losing in the first round of a tournament doesn't cost more ELO points than losing in the finals. | ||

Do you even know how ELO works? Beating a bunch of scrubs (and MVP around the nadir of his ELO), and compiling an 8-10 record overall doesn't work out to a 'monstrous Korean ELO'. In fact his ELO is below 2000, i.e., lower than it was after his first game played. | ||

Also @ Cortomonez using max{Kor Elo, Int Elo - 195, Average(Kor Elo, Int Elo - 195)} makes absolutely no sense. max{Kor Elo, Int Elo - 195, Average(Kor Elo, Int Elo - 195)} = max{Kor Elo, Int Elo - 195} The average of two numbers is never larger then the largest of those two numbers... I'm not saying the way the 'overall ELO' is calculated now is the best choice (as I haven't looked into what these ELO's are based on really, how each match is valued etc.) but I think it's ok. I do think the third argument (Average(Kor Elo, Int Elo)) needs to be changed or even removed as I think that argument is responsible for the unusually high scoring players as Bomber etc. I don't really buy the argument that bomber is nearly as good as Nestea or MVP simply because he did well in a foreign tournament as well. I think that it's without doubt Nestea (and maybe MVP after this GSL) are by far the best players and the ELO rankings should reflect that. Averaging with the inflated ELO is a dodgy way to go about it that's for sure. Ideally I think the two elo's would simply be merged into one but with a proper way to adress korean events as more important then non-korean events. Giving GSL etc the highest K-value etc. | ||

Also, how is there no naniwa. okok I get it you just used point systems that already exist but still I think it's wrong with no naniwa lol stephano is actually pretty consistent when you look at all the tournaments he's been in, but yeah more power to Plexa for trying to do something like this x-x Your foreigner spread is quite interesting indeed. qxc so high from his gstl wins? o-O I think we're still long way away from seeing Power Rank for SC2. Really no point for it at the moment too. | ||

Since this list is based on Elo, which is objective no subjective, you can't use it as evidence that a player is overrated. Rather, I'd say it supports many people's high regard for TheStc, and suggests that all he is lacking is a big tournament result. Interesting list Plexa. | ||
