Elo biasedly excludes other games (because Elo has a problem with inflation, so it excludes prelims which add a very high amount of games and therefore speeds the inflation. Also maybe the TL staff cares less about prelims) and puts exact value on PL Round 6 garbage time games over game 5 of a finals. It's silly. Elo is excellent in depicting consistency. It is not a clear, accurate ranking for who is clearly achieving the most.

I'm pretty sure Kespa rating is a much better ranking system, it has much less fluctuation due to variance and values individual leagues more, as one should. On August 01 2011 23:36 Winechu wrote: Why should games be valued equally? Obviously some games are going to have more significance over other games and hence should accordingly have a higher weightage. The two rating systems differ in what they measure too, elo more of skill and Kespa more of a player's value in terms of his success and value to his team. For the latter, ascribing weightage makes sense. The point TTT was trying to make is that if all games are treated equally, then prelim games are equal to that of a regular PL match or SL match and hence should be included in the calculation of elo. If you assume them to be equal, excluding those matches would be arbitrary. Hence Elo WOULD be biased, in spite of not arbitrarily ascribing weightage to games unlike ELO. You can't subtype it and call it a completely different case. Bias is bias. The concept of equality is misunderstood here. Applying it to compare the test sample to that which is not sampled is nonsensical - there exist no claims about its relevance to the subject. Such an argument cannot exist in the first place due to assuming concept of choice being outside the realm of action - an absurd idea, due to the praxeological limitations of comprehension of mind. There do however exist claims regarding its relevance to the games that are in question. This implies the validity of the bias argument with regards to the Kespa rating, but Invalidates the argument as it is applied to Elo. | ||

Stork! Ha, enjoy it while you can. Please start performing again, but I have a fear this will be the last time you move up for a while and last time you are this high ever. | ||

Actually, no, I specifically claimed the samples as relevant to the subject. Elo ranks some games and not others on an arbitrary basis. Just because it does so with absolute equality of all games does not mean it is not arbitrarily biased against certain, equally competitive, games. It'd be silly to say the Kespa Ranking wasn't biased when it was made almost explicitly to mathematically reward more prestigious accomplishments. The system itself has a built in level of bias, Elo is biased by exclusion. This is all kind of silly, though. I just didn't like your assertion that Kespa rank had no reasonable purpose with Elo around when they clearly serve two distinct, different, and nice evaluations. | ||

No. The player that has most consistently been close to Jaedong was always Zero, and Zero passing Jaedong isn't that shocking, as he's been one of the top Zergs for a long while now. But Hydra suddenly surging the way he did is really surprising to me. Even Effort in his prime wasn't able to do that, but when Effort was playing well so was Jaedong, so I guess the timing just worked out well for Hydra. On the other hand... calm, lol. | ||
