I think it's a bit misleading. The players who have played a lot are overly favored/disfavored. There's also a few WO games in there. With such a low amount of games, looking at winrates seems more meaningful.

Obviously the top players don't lose (or lose rarely) versus non-top players. Otherwise they wouldn't be in the top... This is the entire point of ELO rofl.

Given your response, I doubt that you even understand what you're looking at. These are ELO for players who are supposed to be all of relatively even skill... Don't tell me that the top 8 are D+ and the rest are just D/D-, because that's entirely false. Reason I stated that is if they have a 10-1 record vs players other than other top 8, then they're just walking over D+ players. The point of it isn't to show anything that people don't already know. It's to reinforce their cowardice to move onto ASL/YSL level without leaving their training wheels.

All I'm hearing is a rank #59 guy crying that he got beat by several "top" players (some of them doing so with scouts), and is trying to say "Well if I didn't get beat by them, I'd be higher!"

Actually, I thought about it some, and you are right. To express my change of heart, I decided to correct that chart, just for you:

I don't think you realise how much nerves and metagame affect your performance, and preparation is something that doesn't get accounted for on ladder games. Clearly Jangbi shouldn't have won the last OSL, and Fantasy shouldn't have beaten Flash, oh and given Bisu's record in PL he should have gotten past prelims (with an all zerg lineup) but he didn't.

For example, I don't get nervous at all during my games. I vs these players on ladder, and I find the same players significantly easier to beat in DRTL.

Also please don't start a flamewar.

Considering that my team won DRTL and that I came to the final 4 of DRIT 2 (losing by W.O)... I obviously am obviously not trying to get the league more balanced for myself (especially given I don't even play in it).

Weren't you carried on the same DRTL S1 team as the #1 and #3 player? Didn't you get ejected from DRTL for BMing your opponents after they beat you?
