Well, Boxer may be a bad example since he played a lot of games that was never entered into the TLPD. I'm saying that during a player's career, there are always phases where they get really good and appear dominant. At that point, their theoretical ELO is probably very high, but if one player gets to play more games like the proscene nowadays with 3 leagues +proleague with ace matches than some other player back in the day with less matches, the newer player's ELO will be higher at the end of the dominant phase.
Actually, in my English classes, my English teachers always criticize me for being disorganized and using overly long sentences. (To the guy below me)

Wow, major thumbs up for Avidkeystamper. His post makes perfect sense all the time.

Yeah, I didn't think I was using the correct definition; I agree with you about the real inflation/deflation.

Right, you are saying that their skill level fluctuates and that due to the lack of sample size during that short period the ELO didn't properly track it, kind of like a thermometer which takes readings every hour and computes them into a graph, but missed the 20 degree temperature spike during some obscene weather event because it was in between the measurement times.
That is certainly possible.

I can't really talk more about real inflation/deflation without seeing how teamliquid's ELO system is set up: there are variations between different systems.
wikipedia wrote: Because of the significant difference in timing of when inflation and deflation occur, and in order to combat deflation, most implementations of Elo ratings have a mechanism for injecting points into the system in order to maintain relative ratings over time. FIDE has two inflationary mechanisms. First, performances below a "ratings floor" are not tracked, so a player with true skill below the floor can only be unrated or overrated, never correctly rated. Second, established and higher-rated players have a lower K-factor.[11] There is no theoretical reason why these should provide a proper balance to an otherwise deflationary scheme; perhaps they over-correct and result in net inflation beyond the playing population's increase in absolute skill. On the other hand, there is no obviously superior alternative.

I really want to love Effort because he's an amazing zerg and is on CJ, but I still have a hard time liking him as much as I do savior/jaedong/hero. D: It makes me sad.

I get the feeling that all of CJ's new trio had nerve problems at one point or the other, not just Skyhigh.

You know there's a purge going on right now, right? You really want to post like that?

I don't think there's any way Effort comes out of his OSL group without at least 1 one loss.
