Oh man it pains me to see Nada down in the C class, didn't think he was doing THAT bad.

Also lol at one of the youngest players being the only senior master.

while the 50 point separation is rather arbitrary, the elo ratings are designed such that players with separation of 100 points, then the high ranked gamer should win a vast majority of games (can't remember the actual figure). The 50 points is halve that, and fairly good at using the inbuilt features of elo to separate the games (ie you'd expect a class B to sometimes catch an A off guard and win maybe 30/70, and only say 5/95 against an expert for instance).

The titles come from the fide ranking, which assigns these titles to intervals of 200 points. They have a bigger range of elo scores so they can use 200, we do not, so are forced to use a smaller interval.


I think Hotbid knows what ELO is. He's saying the classes are completely pointless if you know how to read numbers
Isn't any ranking pointless? Why do we assign titles to chess players? It allows similar players to be grouped together is why.

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.

(T)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 (T)GanZi ugly. Besides, Rekrul never sexed her, so I'd give her at least a C... seems fair to me yes?

Congratulations, you have encountered a girl/guy posing as a girl on the internet! Please choose one of the following options:

A) Reply with: "Damnit you guys she is so beautiful!! How dare you guys insult the way she looks!" aka the white knight

B) Reply with: "She is way below my standards, what an ugly ho! I've turned down way hotter chicks than her!" aka the stereotypical nerd who has never talked to a girl

C) Bonus option: Shrug it off and masturbate to porn. aka the other 99%

Thank you for using the internet, have a pleasant day.

I think rankings like this are very accurate.

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!

Interesting statistics. I liked the bonus where you made a "best" lineup for each team. Pretty accurate compared to their recent lineups with some exceptions.

Thanks
Live2Win is awesome. Happy new year scarabi!

I can't believe people are giving the OP shit about this list, it's a great list that he just used to show some stats about current strengths.

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.
