new new TLPD features are just amazingly cool edit: Holy shit, I just noticed that when you mouse over an ELO peak, it tells you what the peak game was! That's a really nice touch 
Hot_Bid: Are you sure? I see Xellos' TvP peak as less than 2200. Sea was really close to getting all 3 over 2200 though. 6 points away in TvP.

I think that TL brings depth to the interweb that I can't even comprehend
|
kind of strange how best's pvz elo peak is so high considering hes been pretty mediocre vs zergs
|
Pop,
once again you fucking rock.
Hot_bid thanks for your wanting this into existance.
TL.net thanks again for these great features!
|
I don't understand how Best has higher Elo than Stork at this point in time.
|
Wow, great new feature.
And now for something a little less constructive, everyone's favorite game: Adventures in Pedantry.
"Elo is often written in capital letters (ELO), but it is not an acronym. It is the family name of the system's creator, Arpad Elo, a Hungarian-born American physics professor."
Doesn't matter any, just wanted to give the guy a shout-out.

Very, very nice - stats are fun Great work!

Wow, sweet. I always wanted to see this so thanks for making it :D.
edit: Although, now that I think about it, it might make more sense to have columns by matchup rather than by vs. X. Then again I guess the problem with this is that there would be 6 columns with 3 blank for each player, so maybe not.
edit2: Oh yeah, and it would be nice if the players' ratings were also included on their individual player page (either on the first tab or the "record and games" tab).
edit3: I also want to say that for something being made by volunteers (I assume), TLPD is amazingly detailed and professional. The only thing I know of of similar quality is the chessgames.com database, and even that isn't presented quite as nicely as TLPD.

I'm wondering how Starcraft players ELO's compare to top chess players. Does anybody break the 2400 boundary in any sport?

Does anybody break the 2400 boundary in any sport? =p Well there are inflation and deflation in elo 2200 one year can mean a totally diff skill of 2200 in another year. My question is whos peak had the biggest gap from player 1 to 2 to 3 top 3 players of their year. I would think savior's elo peak would have the biggest gap just from his dominance was clear or nada maybe oov.

Sweet, always wanted this.

nice work, but is there a way to show it in a graph like in ilovedvictory article for some selected players?

You can't compare them like that because the actual rating values are arbitrary - only the difference between two players' rating matters. ie, the difference in skill between a 2400 player and a 2000 player is the same as the difference between a 1000 player a 600 player. You could have the starting rating be 0 instead of 2000 and it wouldn't make any difference. I just chose 2000 because it looks good :p.
Well actually, I also chose 2000 because I guessed that an average pro would be about the level of a chess "expert" (2000ish) rated player, given that the game hasn't been around as long and doesn't have as much competition. So, I guess chess and starcraft ratings are comparable, but only to the extent that my guess was actually right. Top rated chess players can have ratings up to around 2800, by the way (my rating is like 1100, lol).
