Stork still counts as S class? Flash is in GOM. | ||

copied from wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess_rating_systems#Harkness_system Category Rating range Grandmaster 2600 and up Senior master 2400-2599 Master 2200-2399 Expert 2000-2199 Class A 1800-1999 Class B 1600-1799 Class C under 1600 so a class is below 2000. i always thought what you call "s-class" should be "senior master" class, but looking at it now we overgone the "master" and we have many master. | ||

An S-Class player overall is probably one who's ELO is almost always between 2200 and 2300. This is a fairly exclusive club, but one that applies to about 10 or so players. That sounds appropriate. To say that a player has "S-Class" ability in one match-up, it looks like clearing 2100 is a more reasonable metric. So 2200+ overall, 2100 + for a match-up. + Show Spoiler + | ||

KeSPA rank is even worse, since they changed it right after saviors dominance and right at the start of bisu's | ||

The biggest reason why players today have a higher elo is that they play more games, allowing the elo to more accurately reflect a player's peak. At savior's peak, if he played more games, would he have gotten a higher ELO? Maybe, but only at his very peak, not his era. ELO is not inflationary by nature. | ||

Do it by matchup - 2200. It's not definite, but it's pretty accurate. S-class just means in a league of their own. Anyone with 2200 + in a matchup is going to be in the top 5 or 6 of their race in that matchup of all time (Exception being TvZ - there are 9 Terrans with this). Calling some player S-class overall is really hard, but saying that Bisu has s-class pvp is still a given, and it's apparent that he's still not far off from having S-Class pvz and pvt - 1 or 2 games would ensure it. (he's 2194 in pvt and 2188 in pvz). Same for Yarnc's zvt, JD's zvz, July's ZvP - these are players who are better at these matchups than anyone else playing. (JD is also 2211 in zvp). A player just straight up better in everything, doesn't exist anymore. Also, if they're peaking very close to it like Iris I would say they likely do as well (he's 2190 in TvZ atm). Interestingly enough, the only player at this level in every matchup right now is Flash. It's not really accurate for Fantasy because his Elo is still peaking, and that means that it isn't stable. And his tvp is very close, had he won over Bisu he would definitely be 3rd best tvp of all time - after Flash and oov. Right now there are 2 people 2200+ vs T (Bisu 6 points away), 2 people 2200+ vs Z (Iris 2190, Bisu 2188), and 4 people 2200 + vs P, with fantasy 7 points away- a statement about how poor protoss has done this season. | ||

There was a thread about something like this a while back http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=83029 Obviously not up to date, I guess it would be interesting to see what it would look like now. | ||

The thing is, Elo systems are all different. Different systems have different starting point amounts, maximum points lost, etc, so the categories from chess really don't translate at all to Starcraft. IMO the thread Rostam linked is probably the closest we have to a system for it. | ||

i mean ELO ratings are really relative to your opponents anyways. | ||
