I have one thing to say.. I'm all against that change but there is something bugging me.. Why did you change the stats also ? Even if you remove gaining ELO points from those games , still the games could be included to stats for general information..

Hrm, how about saying "fuck the KESPA" (corrupt organization that they are), and adding all the Gom leagues?

Honestly, I think that's the most fair choice..

edit: by this i mean why would some teams not participate

i guess ogn and mbc make sense because of competing networks, but why not skt1?

Yeah, I don't get this either.
It'd be nice if the only tournament that's cast in English got a bit more legitimacy, not to mention all teams on board.

The reason we care about "Kespa sanctioned" is because the original game list brought into TLPD was only composed of such leagues. If we start counting every single one of them now, the stats would be skewed until we add all the previous ones as well.

So the only other real solution would be to add all the old leagues we're missing (quite a lot imo) and decide (ourselves) which ones should be counted towards ELO and which ones shouldn't. That'd require tons of grunt work tho.

That's a pretty silly argument in my opinion. Just because there was some issue about the past does not mean we should not try to do the right thing for the present (and for the future) where we can (and will be able to) get our hands on the data.

I believe I speak not only for myself when I say we want a database that is complete or able to be complete to as reasonable an extent as possible. If going through the past is unreasonable then so be it. However, ignoring such significant events (for which the data is readily available) based on the whim of a body like Kespa does not do justice to the actual records of the players we want to build a database about.

If you feel that the factor about Kespa sanctioning is so important, at least allow us the data and the analysis that flows from that data that is invalid due to not being Kespa sanctioned to be available through options or some other such means. I, myself, prefer accurate and whole data that reflects the competitive environment of televised starcraft as opposed to data only for those that Kespa sanctions.

I think this is completely wrong, both GOM tournaments should be counted. They are major tournaments with big prizes and many strong players, I don't care if Kespa "sanctions" them (whatever that means) or not.

but GOM1 is counted into ELO calculation
so it's hard to say what's the right thing to do unless you consider Kespa is always right

Jesus Christ all the confusion about this or that being officially sanctioned or not. It's still StarCraft all of it!

Meh, even though I am a Jaedong fan I consider this good news. With GOM S2 not counting, Jaedong will have the highest ELO after he rapes fantasy and not Bisu.


But at least this factual statement makes me happy

Incredibly retarded of them to not count both season 1 and season 2

They had tough lineups and it was a valid tournament, season 1 was missing like 2 or 3 teams (oh no!)

whatever..

I can't think of a single league the size of GOM from the past.. Hell, even ITV and GhemTV are counted, and they are smaller.

WCG isn't counted (the national prelims are tho!).

I don't think we'd be missing almost anything by just saying "starting from Gom S1, we will be tracking their games".

Meh.

I think FA just proved why he is my most favourite TL moderator.

In any case, I agree with him. KESPA sanctioned or not, the GOM leagues are too big of events to be ignored when it comes to player performance. TeamLiquid is a fansite, not a KESPA outpost outside Korea.

I guess with enormous proleague and non-stop msl, osl action, schedule is way too tight on players another official league would dilute starcraft or something like that. I can see how it is not accepted yet.

I personally don't care about the Kespa hate thing or whether or not it should be hated. But in my opinion what the mods are doing seems like the right choice.

Not only because of this:

But also because of the following reason:
Currently Season 3 contains no SKT players as well as OGN and MBC (correct me if i'm wrong on OGN and MBC please) i believe there are more.
Season 1 and 2 also had teams that did not participate. This in effect would also skew the TLPD elo stats. It would create an imbalance where teams aren't playing against all teams fairly (proleagues)/randomly(OSL/MSL). An example so you can get a better view of it. Lets say Person A and Person B are on fire right now. Person A is allowed to play in GOM while Person B is not allowed to play in GOM. Person A gets a high number of games played thereby his ELO rose significantly. Person B however is an ace for his team and ONLY gets to play around 2-3 televised matches a month. Had he been in GOM he might have had a chance to establish a higher peak ELO but sadly he isn't.

To bring another example with said reason above: Imagine a tournament with only 2 or 3 or 4 teams participating in it... would you count that into the ELO?

Don't wanna edit the second reason to make it sound easier/better but i'm sure if you read it enough times you can get what i mean

So the last MSL and OSL don't count because they had no ACE players?


I disagree with this decision, couldn't care less about Kespa. Why so serious...

Did they have no ACE because ace wasn't recognized? Or because no ACE qualified? Very big difference

They had no ACE players in them because ACE coaches opted out of letting the players play in the prelims. The situation was no different than MBC/OGN/SKT/eSTRO deciding not to play in GOM, just the motivations behind it where different (their PL results were so bad that they weren't allowed in individual leagues).
