Eywa is the epitome of the D+ player, the definition of the bounds of the system, the absolute gap between what is D+ and what is C-, and as that arbiter of this line, he is able to judge without doubt what is above and below it. To those who seek to masquerade as D+ beware, be not better than Eywa, for so shall your facade fall and your true nature revealed!

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: + Show Spoiler +
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?
oh man why so hard with bm in gambit cup T_T
He's spewing false information. I was kicked for bming the league organizer Something I haven't been too ban happy on in GC .
Here is what happened.
One week, Eywa had to play Babo. Babo defeated him. Because Eywa is the perfect D+ player, anyone capable of beating him therefore has to be C-. So he BMed Babo. A few weeks later, he played me. I crushed him with relative ease, and he decided to float his buildings to different corners of the map, all the while BMing me, so I built scouts. Thus, after these two, and quiet possibly more, BM encounters, Nikon banned him from the league.
Why are people still responding to Eywa- anyways? I thought that everyone knew by now that the majority of the posts he makes are intentionally inflammatory. By responding you throw more logs into the flame. He made a post saying that he and I are equal in skill; every time he whines about people being far and above him stats or skill-wise in the same league as him, please remind him that he simply chooses the most potentially inflammatory thing to say in any situation and throws it in there, because I most certainly am one of the players he is mentioning (he has cried about this MULTIPLE times). The hypocrisy is astounding.
And no, correction, Eywa- was banned from DRTL2 for lifting buildings and going afk in-game, and general BM both in the thread and otherwise. For someone who seems to be so devoted to maintaining community integrity, he has certainly displayed some of the worst behavior -_-; So please, can we all ignore him now?
@Birdie: I think you should include other D-rank-affiliated events as well. I'll be honest, after 3-0'ing Shuruken for third place in DRIT1 I feel I deserve the top spot xD Speaking of, have you factored 3rd/4th place results into the equation?

We're planning on having the winner of this play a showmatch with Babo.
So Babo's playing himself??
Pebble and I felt that Babo had advanced beyond what it meant to play in this league and he was gracious enough to accept that decision. He and I want him to be able to participate in some way though so we'll have a showmatch at the end!
Other than that, given that I did more for the original DRTL than anyone except for Cobalt in terms oh hyping the league... I'd say your statement is pretty accurate, I am not indeed trying to improve things, but trying to tear them down for god knows what reason... I guess that somehow benefits me? I've been addressing the issue of a decreasing player count while your pals have been the ones flaming me. Every time someone posts a new idea in a DRTL thread or posts their opinion on a player, they are instantly hounded down by the same people every time.

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.
Think of this as an 'alpha' release; there will be a lot of improvement with the next one. The players who have played a lot are more accurately represented than other players. There are no WO wins (that I know of).
I included all the players who competed in DRTL seasons 1, 2, and 3, and DRIT seasons 1, 2, and 3. I may include TheShimmy's competition too; I didn't notice it was D level only,
Thanks for making the thread, very interesting stats, especially for D rank players. As far as the border between d/c players is concerned, there are for sure some who are C- (so over D rank), but whatever, why is everyone so uptight about it. =/ This just gives everyone the motivation to improve and have fun. #168 for the win. :D
Disappointment I am not even on here idra is still on the BW TLPD.... anyone remember Squishy the guy who did not let Nagisama qualify for DRTL? and The 3 gate zealot build lol! Losing to TL-Tyrant with Lurker Drops... but sexy games... guess not I don't exist. I have played as Squishy sGs.Squishy and PuMa[wOk]

There are a lot of games missing from what I could see, some people from my team (like sGs.Gorg/georgetheman) are missing many games from the list. Like Birdie said, this is the Alpha version!

Thanks for taking the time to look through all the tournament threads and wiki pages and put everything together like this. I know it wasn't easy and was quite time consuming. Really cool to see how all the players end up stacking up.
Hopefully once you get everything put together it will be easier to maintain and other people can help out somehow.
