1. Different populations. While ICCup was definitely very pyramidal in its structure (80% of players were D, 18% were C, 2% higher, roughly), the "bottom" of the Pyramid in SC:R MM is very low and broad. In other words, the average player is simply worse than they were on ICCup at this point in time. 2. Different rating scales. MMR and Elo and etc. cannot be compared to ICCup's activity-based system. If you played MotW, you only needed more than like 30% winrate against other D rank players to get to C-. 3. I expect hours of activity to affect MMR similar to how ICCup had "Korean hours." The same rating attributed to two people who have a wide disparity in skill due to environment. There are more reasons but I'm tired. In short, don't worry too much about translating rating scales, or rating scales in general. | ||

Also, it depends who plays when ... if you play during a time zone where it's essentially dead for Koreans, you may only match foreigners and have an easier time. I'm currently sitting 2150-2250, but seem to match 90% Koreans due to the fact that the hours I play seem to coincide with peak Korean times as well. On the other side, I see a lot of foreigners who I know are not nearly as good as me, but are also ~2100. But it's probably because they don't get heavy Korean pairings. In short, who cares about rating. It's too early. Just practice and embrace the new system. | ||

one thing I don't understand is there is currently a jump in the ladder ranks between like 199 and 200, like the top 200 players all have 2100+ and then the 200th or 201th player has 1860 or smtg, there is a gap don't know where its coming from (edit: apparently its because of bug in the display of ladder ranking, if you scroll it up after selecting a region and "see myself" it ends up showing the ranks of the global ladder instead mixed in) | ||

Sure, they might reset it, but that's still exactly what these points are measuring. If they change it to be a letter system, that doesn't change the fact that your letter is determined by your MMR Rating (which is what you currently see...) It's basically exactly like the SC2 system, where you have a ranking (Diamond/Masters/Etc), but have an MMR rating behind (which is really the only thing that matters).... | ||

I can only play after 8:00 PM so I'm getting matched with mostly Koreans. I was A- and currently at 2100 MMR. I only play at the times when KR's are sleeping. I avoid them. It's like hide and seek for me, except they don't know that we're playing. | ||
