The ranking isn't pointless, the grouping is. It's like a teacher writing the following on the board for an unscaled test: 90-100 = A 80-89 = B . . Pretty pointless, though not as pointless as the kids yelling that their 75 was really an A but they were slumping during the test. | ||

It's not pointless otherwise they wouldn't do it on such a huge scale in school systems genius. It simplifies things, gives a better view on the whole, makes things easier for us to remember and understand. Things we have a better understanding of are way more likely to enter our long term memory. Just a number like 90-100 is pretty abstract, especially for kids. | ||

 ToSsGirL an F? I mean come on. I know she aint the best looking korean girl out there, nor the brightest (she plays terran, not toss after all), but she certainly aint ugly you know? Not like GanZi ugly. Besides, Rekrul never sexed her, so I'd give her at least a C... seems fair to me yes? | ||

Just another opinion of course, notice the 'I think'. I find rankings like this interesting as well, although I think each race should have its own criteria compared to itself. Meaning the value of the elo is adjusted for each race. I really thought Groups A and B for zerg were intersting, I had no clue savior's elo is higher then julyzergs, also looking at the lists like this makes sense to me. I enjoyed this, thanks op! | ||

The basic idea is ok but 50 points is a pretty small difference (equivalent to a 57%-43% advantage for the stronger player). Realistically you can probably only group pros into 3-4 categories at most, rather than the 9 given here - the reason why chess has so many categories is because the rating system includes all competitive players, from the best pros to primary schoolers. The TLPD ratings only include full-time pros. | ||
