God I love this.

This really goes to show how truly dominating players like NaDa and Savior were in their primes. These days everyone is hung up on ELO, but ELO has suffered from a lot of inflation (perhaps because there are more KeSPA sanctioned games today than in the past, thus providing more opportunities for top players to prove their skill?) over the years, so it fails to achieve it's goal of comparing the strengths of gamers relative to their respective eras.
Even though this Proleague bullshit has been completely bogus, I really, really, really do not see how Khan can lose this. I swear I will kill myself if they do. - nesix before KHAN lost to eNature

Good job. really intresting to see that stats. I hope that will end the OMG 3000 POINTS JAEDONG BONJWA discussion to a rest. Atleast untill after proleague/OSL/MSL.

Does any one know the reason why Boxer's points jumped from 2398 in Jan-03 to 921.5 in Feb-03?


i'm gonna assume kespa made a huge change in their point system

I already answered it in the August '09 Kespa thread

Anyway, yes - they changed the system. Up until January '03 it was an all time ranking, players could only win points, but not lose any. In February '03 it became a 12 months ranking (point distribution for certain achievements might also have changed, no idea).

Very well done; thank you for your work.

... on a side note ...

Enough roids, NaDa; they will shrink those testes.

if jaedong wins both individual leagues, he'll pull ahead by so much, he'll definitely be as dominant as, and in fact, probably more dominant than NaDa and sAviOr from a KeSPA ranking perspective. Two individual league is 1k points i think? That means he'll be over 4k points and bisu still around 2500, and the third place will still be around 2000.


This is true. You get a 500 pts bonus for winning a league I think it was... plus the fact that you won games against relatively tough opponents most likely. Huge boost.

Yeah the only way Jaedong's disparity will be absolutely Bonjwa level is if he wins a league this season and next season, or both leagues this season.

NADA

Nada was VERY dominant at his peak it seems

Well we all know the bonjwas pretty much dominated. I think the most interesting thing about this graph is the fact that July held number 1 for a good year with a 28.1% 1st-2nd difference at one point. That's a lot better than I thought

I think I'll definitely update this with standard deviations when I have time. It is a much more accurate measure of how someone performs against the rest of the field (not just No. 2 or No. 3 player).

Crazy, Jaedong knocking off Nada's 1st-2nd differential, and coming up strong on the 1st-3rd differential as well.

Oh well, it's only to be expected when someone goes on monster runs in starleagues. He's got all the statistical makings of a bonjwa, he's just missing that feeling of dominance that I doubt will ever happen again.

Well, Jaedong now tops the list in the 1st to 2nd difference with the new September rank. He is ~54% above Bisu.

Don't worry, I'm sure that after he gets his break and has everything with Hwaseung settled and has a decent pay, the feeling will come. In my opinion, his death face when he's really playing at his best is scarier than any bonjwa ever was.
