197 tournaments, 641 teams, 2.430 results and 6.775 ranking positions – e-Rankings expands to Dota 2 with a huge database. All you fans of Anti-Mage, Divine Rapier and Natus Vincere (or anything else) get a calculated World Ranking, a voted Community Ranking, a Quickrating game and lots of team profiles with detailed infomation about your favourite teams. How does it all work? Read on!
World Ranking: Calculated based on tournament performance
The key feature of e-Rankings is the World Ranking. It is calculated based on the tournament performance of teams. Each team receives points for finishing a tournament based on the category of this tournament. Events are sorted into six different categories based on prize money ranging from ‘Global’ with more than $100.000 to ‘Challenger’ with more than $500 prize money. The database currently consists of almost 200 tournaments from August 2011 to May 2014.
Community World Ranking: Rate teams and create your own ranking
Besides the calculated World Ranking there is another ranking: The Community World Ranking is based on the ratings of you, our users. You can rate each team from ‘Bad’ to ‘Pro’ which equals 1 to 4 points. The average values of all ratings of all teams create the Community World Ranking. Since there are not enough ratings yet, the current Community World Ranking is empty, but that will change in the future. You can rate teams directly in their profiles or multiple teams in our Quickrating game.
Quickrating Game: Rate teams and earn badges
I already mentioned the Quickrating game: It allows you to rate teams in a quick manner. By doing that you earn badges and user levels – the higher your userlevel the more features are unlocked. For example you can later on change your ratings or recommend your ratings to other users to help them evaluate teams.
Huge database: 200 tournaments, 650 teams and counting
Our database currently consists of almost 200 tournaments from August 2011 to today and contains the results of almost 650 different teams.

I agree that the number of korean teams deforms the ranking a bit and i think about ways to change that.
Concerning EG and Navi, i don't see the problem: For example, EG earned $50.000 this year in prize money and Navi ~$125.000 which is 2.5x. So why shouldn't they have 3x the points of EG (note: i only counted 2014 in this example, i guess the gap would be even greater if i include the past 12 months)? No offense, just asking for your opinion.

These rankings go further back than your memory. EG was essentially shit until this year. Na'Vi has been consistent for many, many years. And I'd still give Na'Vi the edge at this upcoming TI4.

Using tournament history and empirical data for dota teams is a bad idea. Teams always change...
As for the quickrating system, its interesting but biased, what is the point of it??

A problem I see when rating teams/players is a skip button, if I don't know who that person/team is and I am forced to vote it will be incorrectly rated.

Good point, i will add that.

Except you can't have a "current ranking" system that just takes all the results since the beginning of time. At least not without putting extreme weighting towards recent tournaments.
Otherwise it's just a ranking about which teams (and not even the players on the teams) have earned the most money, and which have been around the longest.
For example, with this site, I would imagine that Na'Vi could lose every single match for the next year straight and they'd still be in the top 10.

It doesn't matter if they were shit before, if these are ratings they are def top 5 in the world now, they should of won enough tournaments and got enough points to make up for it. I don't get why they are top 3 in GG/JD and ranked so poorly in this.

I honestly can't tell you why EG is Top3 in GG/JD, because i don't find any explanations on both sites about how their rankings are calculated. But you can always check my calculations

Yeah, as I said, your ranking has zero bearing on current standings and everything to do with how long a team has been around and how much money went into the team's pocket.
Don't see how your stats are any more relevant than SC2earnings.

You probably have cookies disabled. You need to turn them on.

No it does not have everything to do with how long a team has been around because the ranking only counts results of the past 12 months. If you want to know which team was the best in the past 3 month , there is a special ranking for that
Sc2Earnings has nothing to do with Dota and is not updated anymore.

Thats even bigger joke, noone sane would consider team that is losing to tier 2 SEA teams 2nd best team in last 3 months. Also MVP and Liquid in top 10...

As already mentioned, the ranking is a bit broken when it comes to korean teams.

It's not just korean teams. Fnatic did nothing to prove they are better than EG. And TL has absolutelly no reason to be above every single chinese team not called DK.
In the standard ranks, C9 is below VP, PR, even mousesports. Newbee is at 66th, a bit ahead of QPAD and below Relax, ForLove, Oslik Gaming. It just makes no sense, whether you are looking at short term or long term rankings.
Even looking at a single team it doesn't work. Navi got the same amount of points for winning the Alienware cup, 2nd place of TI and winning D2CL. And they got twice that amount for winning Starladder.

Then go Quickrating and create a ranking you think is best

Nobody has time for that, if you're going to take the time and effort to do it atleast do it right. These rankings are dumb and im pretty sure everyone above me agrees. Your logic behind the team rating is flawed. If you don't think EG/DK/VG are the best teams in the world right now I suggest you just dont do rankings.
