Step up and test your progaming knowledge! A lot of things in TLPD have been changing, so I thought I'd show off some of the interesting facts that are encapsulated in it without just making a general boring post. The questions add up to a 105* pt value if you want to see how you did % wise, and I tried to order them from easiest to hardest (not in exact order, just in general). Good luck!

BoxeR for becoming the 7th member of the 2300 club not too long ago!

[image loading]

The four bonjwas are fittingly all members of the 2300 club now! This isn't something I was consciously working towards when adding games, but I'm pleasantly surprised BoxeR is in the ranks of the ELO elite.

37%. ^_^

It's interesting to see that newer player's ELO peaks are affected by old games.
So has anyone gotten better than a 16 winstreak?

I got all the questions wrong lol, but at least I could answer like half of the multiple answer questions I guess..... T_T

Oh well, I didn't start following the pro scene until the beginning of this year.

I don't think so. At least none of the usual suspects (Bisu, Flash, oov, JD, etc) have streaks that high. Most of them max out at about 12/13 games.

Why are Boxer and Nada's Elo peaks higher than they used to be? Were some missing old games added?

Anyway, some interesting trivia there.

I count Boxer and Gorush at 16 each.
Maybe it's another one of those walls, like 10 consecutive TvT wins.

There were a lot of old tournaments that weren't in TLPD before (iTV leagues 1-6, Game-Q Starleagues 1-3, 2001 WCG, etc.). There's still more to be added, so the peaks may change even more, but for now that's why they're > 2300 all of the sudden.
