He's number 1 in SC2 ELO and he's peaking in all 3 match-ups.

How can you argue??

Sc2 international index. Sorry, Nestea is the undisputed king.

Pretty sure this guy is disputing it.

I don't see Nestea in top 50 even so...
or maybe you were talking about the Korean ranking?
Now it comes to if Korean ELO is superior to the international one.

Ace is 2nd place and was 1st for a long time

how is international TLPD even remotely as accurate as the korean one? not to mention Nerchio's quality of opponents isn't nearly as impressive

Well, the Korean one has Korean tournaments only, but better ask the TLPD editor staff, they know better what is accurate.

About Nerchio, he is now on fire 3-0 ing people left and right. Just lurk through eartler posts of this thread or TLPD or google even to see which players he was playing and winning with.
One thing is, Nerchio has to prove his play on LANs yet.

IdrA is amazing and for sure at the top of the foreigner scene. But as already stated in this thread, the foreign Zerg players still have ways to go before they're close to the current level of the Korean ones. So if you ask me, it's Nestea, LosirA and July. In that order.

People who refer to ELO also believe Minigun is better than WhiteRa, Cloud better than Mvp, and hasuobs better than MC.

Nestea is without a doubt top.

Second tier is losira, fruitdealer, dimaga, idra, sen. In that order. Fruitdealer doing badly has been staying in code s, although this last season making ro16 and losing 2-1 to nestea is still pretty good.

The only one of those close to nestea imo is losira.

Ok you have a point
But still, after waching Nerchio's play and the fashion he is winning with people like MorroW, TT1, Strelok, etc. He is arguably the best zerg on EU and NA.

For me, Dimaga was the raigning champion no longer than a month ago but now, definately Nerchio.

Elo international is a bit of a joke atm as some of the people who are near the top just win small tournaments. It's even seen in korea where coda a has many of the highest elo since they have inflated win percentages against worse opponents. I see the korean elo finally balancing out in the next year or so but unless the international one severely restricts tournaments that are used as basis it will still be highly inaccurate.

No disrepect to Nerchio or the EU scene but I'm fairly certain Nestea faces harder opponents day in and day out.

There should be some kind of global BIG tournament ELO, which doesn't count the small stuff, would be much more "accurate".


The problem would be, how to choose wich tournments are "BIG" ?

Maybe based on a prize pool or sth.

It's a slippery subject, because of probbable accusations of disregarding one tournaments and favoring another :/

But yeah... Nerchio

While we're on the topic of the TLPD, was just wondering if the International and Korean TLPDs were merged, would it provide a better comparison or will the International players ELO be inflated because of the amount of games they play?
