Stork is so high..
Switch him with July and take silent_control off the front page then I will be able to rest.

Really nice though, good work.

the ranking is automated, there is no room for switching anything except the formula calculating it.

Wow, Kosiro is on the front page. Not only does he have only 8 recorded matches, he's the same guy who messed up the Sandlot when he got Firefist to play for his own matches against Draco because he was drunk.

i dunno, elo works better for certain situations than others. you should try to see the predicative power of such a system as it si configured now. look at winning % in relation to elo difference between 2 players. might be a big project though

Rankings usually have numbers beside them indicating rank.

Nice to see this implemented. Like others have said, there's still room for tweaks/updates to the formulas, but I think the results are pretty reasonable as-is, and it's nice to finally have a less-subjective way of comparing players' strengths.

The top ranks moved around a bit!
Hwasin first, Savior second, Stork dropping to third.
It'll be interesting to see how these ranks end up after the current season of leagues.

I was thinking about this. Starcraft is a lot different then other things because there are 3 races. Some players are very good at a certain MU and not as good on others. I think it would be more accurate to add in that factor. It would probably be better to have 3 different elo ratings per player (well, technically 9 in case someone off-races), and when they play another player, only that specific elo rating would be affected. The overall elo rating for the player would be the length of the vector (square root of the sum of the squares).

I'm not sure if you are still working on this, or if there are other rating systems that are specifically meant to deal with what I'm talking about.

Yes, I agree that having different ratings for each matchup (although the overall rating could stay as it is) would be very interesting. It would lead to higher peaks (and lower lows), since a player is rarely as good in all matchups as they are in their best (or as bad as they are in their worst), plus you could use it for things like seeing who's truly a one-matchup wonder, what a player's best MU actually is, making more accurate predictions of matches, etc.

I think they might have even implemented this in the background or something because I remember there was a post where a TL admin provided a graph of a player's rating over time in one particular matchup, or something like that.

Reason for bumping old thread : new idea

It strikes me there is a interest in the community for a measure of pro-players on the rise, and the power rank does not fully address this need.
For those who find the power rank to be too much dependant on speculation and opinion, it would be nice if the auto-analysis of the TL elo system were to be extended.
I'm talking; measuring derivatives and ranges of elo variation over time.

Can the relavent TL techys hear me on this frequency?
