Sonu, it was never sanctioned in the first place, just "recognized."

And this really doesn't have anything to do with how organized KeSPA is as much as it does have to do with all the crap that goes on behind the scenes because of bickering sponsors/conflicts of interest.

Update: After much discussion with staff:
1. For now, GOM2 will count as results and for ELO rankings.
2. To be consistent, we have added GOM1 to results and ELO rankings as well.
3. GOM Invitational still won't count, but the Bisu/Jaedong Bo5 does count.

With these both added the top 5 ELO Peaks look like this now:
2352 - (P)Bisu
2343 - (Z)Jaedong
2329 - (T)iloveoov
2322 - (T)Flash
2301 - (Z)sAviOr

How did JD's peak go down after adding Gom1? And how did Bisu's go up?

Oh nvm, the special showmatch wasn't counted, could you explain the reasoning behind this?

Aw, looks like Jaedong prolly won't be able to break Bisu's peak, even if he rapes Fantasy now.

Bisu's went up because we had the AI Classic Special Event (The Jaedong 3-2 Bisu) counting.

Jaedong's went down because he won 2-1 vs some scrubs and that drove his rating down. Same for Flash.

Ooooh, this is such an exciting direction for the TLPD, the lines have been blurred.
Oh, on the TLPD for GOM S1, you have AzAng as a zerg for one of his games vs JD.

Anyone wanna argue that JD-Bisu should be counted?

1. If we treat it like an "invite" special showmatch then it shouldn't be counted.
2. If we treat it like a "Grand Finals" that is a culmination of both tournaments, then we should count it.

Since it's up for interpretation, we could really go either way, but for now we're treating it as #2.

If Bisu/Jaedong Special Event Didn't Count:
2361 - (P)Bisu
2329 - (T)iloveoov
2328 - (Z)Jaedong
2322 - (T)Flash
2301 - (Z)sAviOr

3. GOM Invitational still won't count, neither will the special event between Bisu/Jaedong.

Huh?

AzAng is listed as a zerg for the game that he won vs Jaedong, a minor error.

I dont see why the special match should be counted since the super fights are not
but I dont care either way
But its a double standard anyway. Imho all tournament matches should be counted in the ELO calculation,but everything else with the word "special" should not be in it. Just my 2 cents

Thats probably because the superfights were isolated, whereas the special match was a direct result of GOM season 1 and 2.

So should we count Superfights? Shinhan Masters?

Since counting GOM really is breaking the letter of our "rules" for TLPD but validating the spirit, maybe its time to reexamine exactly why we exclude invitationals.

Here are the reasons why invitationals were historically not counted
(despite KTF Premiere League counting)

1. The players did not deserve to be invited to the tournament, i.e. no qualifiers or fair selection system like OSL or MSL - as a result it's not good for rankings or ELO
GOM Invitational - pure invite on who GOM thought were the best 16 players
GOM S1 - much larger invite, but still invite, and forced race balance (33% each race)
GOM S2 - same
GOM S3 - same
Bisu-Jaedong - I don't think anyone would argue that they didn't qualify legitimately by winning their respective seasons

2. The players will not prepare as hard or play their best, i.e. players throwing games, screwing around, this is not good for ELO or rankings
GOM Invitational - nobody was not caring / throwing games
GOM S1 - same, though you could argue some top players didn't prioritize it as high
GOM S2 - same
GOM S3 - same
Bisu-Jaedong - They practiced ridiculously hard, even requesting extra week for more preparation.

well I can bring the "JD was winner of S1 partly because 4 team didnt participate in the event at all" argument. Not that I question the fact that he would've won the hole thing again, but there are a lot of what-ifs. Just keep all tournament games in. Gom themselves call it Special Match and not Grand Finals so...
But I guess if gom decide to do this every season (winners of the seasons the face each other) then it indeed should be counted. Right now GOM just used the opportunity to drag some viewer's attention by making a match between the two currently most popular and stronger player in the scene.
