If someone hits and reaches B-, then aren't they a B- player if they didn't dodge or abuse to get their rank?

If someone is D+ and keeps beating D+'s enough to even reach C- even if they lose against C- then aren't they a C- level player because they keep staying @ 2800 - 3200 etc?

You are technically C+ since the last game you played was against a C+ player

edit:

congrats

You could make an argument that if you have beaten C+'s, you are a C+, but I don't agree with that. The way I see it, you are moved in to a more difficult bracket of players once you have proven that you are above the previous bracket. For D-/D/D+ level players (assuming MOTW), you have to win a ratio of 2:5 in order to keep moving up in points. I think if it's proven that you can maintain and consistently post that ratio, you should be a considered the rank you currently are. For C-/C/C+, the ratio is more like 3:5, if you can post that ratio at C-, I think you should be considered a C.

That's the way I see it however, and I'd love to see some SuperiorWolf vs InControl games lol.

I think the ladder is designed so people could move up more easily. Realistically speaking, in terms of true caliber, the total points of all players should add up to N*K where N is number of players and K is the points you start with.

You should at least maintain a 1:1 ratio (i.e. 50%) for you to be considered a X-class player. That's just my take.

And about 4 games out of 68 vs koreans and at least half vs americans. But hey, youre right, get a hobbie instead of reading blogs in this site! that does make a lot of sense.

it is no shock that this late in the season even superiorwolf can get B-... playing no koreans only compounds that.

Anyways it isn't really worth dogging on him.. even in the late season a lot of TL posters couldn't get B-.

17 games out of 68 vs Koreans, to be exact

So 25%. Plus it's not like you can see who's Korean when they join your games, how do you dodge :O I probably just don't play during Korean time though which explains it since I'm Pacific which is like 12 hours difference :O
Yes my stats are completely inflated from this season compared to last season. If you check, last season I was only 60-56 C+.
Last season I played early season so I had many more losses than this season, whereas this season I only started playing like halfway or later into the season.

@incontrol
lets play ;o
