and there are currently 112 players in the league. So, if the metric is activity, it has already expanded the pool immediately. Gj and thanks guys. Eonzerg - I am a moron who believes you will win more when you get wrecked more, so I wish all the strongest players upon you =-) | ||

I do have to say though, I'm super skeptical of SB Rating Points ladder system from what I've seen so far. I don't remember it being like this for past leagues on SB. It seems to reward people who just play more games, because you lose zero points or very small number of points for a loss compared to the amount of points you win for a win. IDK, maybe it gets different the more games you play, and that's why 100 games are required. Just thought I'd bring this up early, already mentioned it on SB chat channel and no one seemed to care. When there's money on the line people are going to care about this type of thing. Look at the top 10-20 players currently. There are a few who are 1500-1700 MMR with 50% or less win rate (including me). Then you see someone like Stryker getting matched with 2k MMR players constantly so he has less wins and less Rating points, even though he's a significantly better player. I could be missing something on how the ladder system works for leagues, but I figured I'd bring this up sooner rather than later. | ||

There are basically two factors at work: the MMR of the player and the amount of games that they play. In Leagues, as with ladder, everyone starts at 0 points. The amount of points you earn per game is dependent upon your MMR. There is a convergence factor which accelerates your points climb, which is also based on your MMR. Points drift toward 4 * MMR. The farther away your points are from 4 * MMR, the fewer points you lose and the more you gain, so obviously around 0 you're only gaining. So, players who are 1500 MMR will start capping out around 6000 points in the league, while 2000 MMR players will start capping out around 8000. The way this manifests in the leaderboard (both for ladder and in leagues) is that the highest activity players will reach the top first, but eventually the better players will supplant them after they get enough games in. | ||
