ALL points earned in kespa ranking do not decay until 2 months have passed, then they decay at 10% at a time. So after 12 months, they're 100% decayed. So players still have all their points from two months ago. To simplify it, say Flash wins an OSL in December and earns 500 points for January's rankings. January->Feb he loses 0%, Feb->March he loses 0%, March->April he loses 10%, so he's at 450 from the OSL, April->May he loses 10% of the whole to drop to 400. This progresses until it runs out.

You don't lose points for losing games, you just don't gain any, so you'll eventually drop out as you don't win anything and your old points start decaying after 2 months. It's a decent metric when the MSL was still around and there were a lot more games in general if you wanted a less volatile, long encompassing ranking.

even the proleague ranking are not really fair imo: Fantasy should definetely be 2nd place or at least above Bisu, Stats and SoulKey, Zero and Light too should be behind Fantasy, even in the mid tier there are some players i don't think they deserve their spot, like Calm, which is not playing and when he does he often lose..

lol, the same bitching every time
just accept Kespa rating for what it is.. a statement of how well a player has been doing overall in the last 12 months, not just the 1 month, so how on earth is it a surprise that last is not on there.... or effort who had retired for several months.

Proleague ranking dips into Bisu's phenomenal last year, obviously. Otherwise Last would be further up, too.

What the hell happened, why is everyone stupid suddenly? Did I, by some twisted irony of fate, ventured into a SC2 thread?

Good ol' KeSPA ranking. 3 Stars in top 10, none for the rest of top 30. Sounds about right.

The rankings are calculated on a rolling one year basis I believe, so sometimes a player can perform well now and drop the ranking or perform badly now and climb. How the rank changes depends on what happened during the entire last year.

It is somewhat similar to the ATP rankings, for reference.

Edit: All hail liquipedia.

Soo made Ro8 last OSL, I assume that's why he's still so high. Combine that with no corresponding MSL, and last year's irregular tournament schedule, and no Starleague at all for going on four months now, the algorithm has been messed up.

Last is destroying everything in PL but too bad his team is sub-par.

Hiya might qualify as highest KeSPA ranking of a retired guy? But firebathero is really the gem here.

I haven't paid attention to the pro scene for months now and my jaw literally just dropped after seeing that. I expected Flash to still be first but the rest of the ten was shocking

I think the reason that strange things are happening has to do with the long break between seasons. A player like Stats who has been highly dominant lately is actually losing places on the ranking because games that he played earlier in the year (Winner's League where he made a ton of all kills) don't count for shit anymore.
Even though this Proleague bullshit has been completely bogus, I really, really, really do not see how Khan can lose this. I swear I will kill myself if they do. - nesix before KHAN lost to eNature
