Ranking based upon current performance
This is just using current ELO. This is not representative of whether the player was dominant X months/years ago or how many gold medals a player has. All these classifications do if give a rough estimate of how dangerous the player is at this point in time. We all know BoxeR is basically the hero of everyone here, but that doesn't mean we expect him to go on a 30 game winning streak any time soon.

I THINK MVP SHOULD BE SENIOR MASTER
There's already so many other ranking systems, and this one just seems kinda flawed.

What is the point in dividing up ELO into classes? Why this instead of just the raw number?

hah the skill gap between jaedong and the other zerg players is kinda ridiculous based on this.

does anybody else not like the title senior master?
edit: I think Class S should be incorporated somewhere.

I took the naming conventions from The United States Chess Federation (USCF).
I only added Class F for the handful of players who couldn't even get 1900.

I think it overall looks pretty good, but they are all pro-gamers and godly much better than us -.-

This is pretty amusing, thanks.
Pretty surprising to see that Flash, who has just very recently come out of a period of total suckiness, is the #1 elo, especially after Stork/Bisu's huge runs. Well I guess Stork was higher after the osl win but the osl curse sure took fast effect heh.
Would be nice to see an all time one too if you have the chance.

it's funny how the 16 year old is senior master. -_-a

flash senior master GOGO
jaedong pretty lone at the top atm

Class =/= Skill imo... they are always gonna be legends,,
its like calling Babe Ruth, Michael Jordan, Maradona, or in a future Michael Phelps or Tiger woods a Class D just because of their current skills o_O
[edit] I guess I think of class in a diff way O_O

Well.. could you recommend any other method? Sure it has its flaws, but most of the time ELO does it job. For example, tossgirl is at F.. thats so fucking true.

lol you are an idiot. It was made for chess by professor of physics and master chess player more than 100 years ago. And over that 100 year period statisticians have proposed several minor improvements and variations. But never have they been able to come up with something better.
Used on Gears of War 2 so it sucks? WTF man?
specially if you use that system to set a "Class" for a progamer O_o
I also find it annoying how he used the spoiler tags. Doesn't mean ELO is not good. If you want to calculate the ELO of Boxer at his peak or something then do that.
|
NaDa is C class...ELO peaks would be alot better to be used as reference instead of their current ELO ranking.
|
This thread goes beyond pointless.
I already know what numbers are bigger than what numbers. Thanks for making these cutoffs just in case I couldn't count.
And to the people replying: oh no, see a class put to a number and get offended, yeah, i think i'll do that

How come every time someone comes with statistics, no matter how pointless or stupid, there are 10 others to say "no that's not right my favourite players should be higher". Completely missing the point.
So if you still don't understand what this ranking is I'll tell you: it's a waste of time.

so Jangbi is "master" being 2nd in MSL and fantasy is only "A" as 2nd in OSL? if we are talking about recent performance thats some bs right there

Fail list is fail.
Nada , iloveoov , Boxer , Yellow , Reach , NaI_rA ... list goes on.
These are the best of the best. You can't judge him just by looking ELO shit.

No, your the retard who forgot to read the op. Nobody fucking cares if boxer is your god, if you read and understood the op you'll clearly realize why he isnt on top of the list.

I think Klazart put it best. There's a difference between form and class. There might be some players that are showing great form like Jangbi or firebathero, but ultimately people like Boxer, Nada, Oov, and Savior are just in a much higher class. Thus, I don't like this system to determine class.

Doesn't matter in what setting you win or lose. What matters is your opponent's ELO and yours. This is why you can win an OSL final and drop in ELO because you won 3-2 vs an opponent with a way lower ELO. Also, Jangbi wins more often overall. So it's no surprise. Fantasy is only 6-4 in proleague.
Again:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elo_rating_system
This is an objective system. Not some opinion like some people think.
Also, I don't get all those people that equivocate 'class' just to argue their ELO should be higher than it is. It doesn't matter if they have 'class' or are 'classy'. Just replace 'class' with 'category' or 'tier' or something.
But maybe the OP can disclose the numbers and the math and the games used.

Boxer, nada, oov would have been at the top of the list in their respective career peaks, but since the op is talking about the present, its obvious why they arent on top of the list.
Maybe some of the names dont fit in their own category, but overall i think its pretty accurate. btw, people should stop being retards and give the op some credit imo.

Well, people should give credit to the op, but talking about the current is robbing them of the Godliness that they are
This argument will just go on forever....

it would be best not to take klazarts views on anything starcraft related.
if nada oov boxer and savior were someone inherently superior to all other players they would still be dominant. they were the best of their time, they have faded to various extents, these new players are now the dominant (and highest class) players.

Agreed, and if boxer,savior oov would have been the most superior players , they wouldn't have stoped play like they did. Just keep on dominating would be their work

Some of you are such dense fanboys that as soon as you see your favourites unacceptably low on a list, you toss logic and basic comprehension out the window and spew out complete bullshit. All you have to do is read the goddamned first line of the OP to realise how utterly retarded your posts are.

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. If you want to use ELO peaks, then make your own list, the purpose of this list is to show the current player strengths.
It also verified some things that I've had discussions with my friend about, for instance that Zerg has absolutely no depth in ace players, and that Protoss, while lacking a clear best, has the most depth in ace players.
It's also interesting to compare the success of the teams with the strength of their top players. SKT, for instance, has the strongest line-up in the PL, player for player, and yet they ended up second from the bottom last season, while Woongjin has one of the weakest line-ups, yet they ended up quite high. It's a very interesting list

i can't get over the arbitrary classification names and elo number separators, i'd like to know why this list is any better than me creating a list dividing by every 100 ELO points and calling the ranks:
2300+ Super Duper Awesome Senior Master
2200-2299 Duper Awesome Senior Master
2173-2199 Awesome Senior Master
2133-2172 Good Senior Master
2112-2132 Less Good Master
2101-2111 Less Less Good Master
2044-2099 Even Less Good Master
2025-2043 Junior Master
2003-2024 Regular Master
2000-2002 Master
1999-1999 Class 1999 A
1998-1998 Class 1999 B
1997-1997 Class 1998
etc.
edit: as you can see there are more masters in mine

Oh come on Hotbid  you can't be serious...
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.

savior class A.
i d put him as master! Fuck, at least expert!

Good list, don't listen to all these haters.
There is already a list somewhere on TL of the players with the highest ELO....this isn't that.
I think it is interesting that Flash still has the highest ELO overall....

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?

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!

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.
