If anything, that plus his games against NesTea mean he's just not that good anymore. ;p It's ok, he can always fall back on his cooking career. | ||

The only way to combat inflation is by having more games be played. ... I realize that the aligulac system has inflation based on the fact that some of these players (eg Stardust) play in a lot of foreign tournaments which increases their rating based on the number of matches. My point is that aligulac's rating system is flawed (not much you can do about it and I think aligulac is great) in that the rating system will then project a "farmed" player such as Stardust to beat a player that plays only in Korean tournaments that is better than him. So I'm just saying take aligulac ratings with a grain of salt when making your projections. Your insistence that I go support the Korean scene to make some good players have better aligulac ratings is strange. | ||

Both Apocalypse and elfi play in the foreign scene and both compete online as well as far as I know, so I don't see how this affects it in any way. Inflation only applies when comparing people from different regions. And elfi's a good couple hundred points ahead, not like a minor difference. | ||

Well elfi has ~1550 games recorded on aligulac to Apocalypse's ~600 so elfi certainly has had more tournaments and matches. However like I said I agree with you in the case of elfi and Apoc. However, your earlier assertion that welmu is better than Paralyze/other protosses Life has beaten in Korea was based on aligulac as well. | ||

Better to promote playing and winning a lot of games than watching Moonglade and Demuslim climb up to the top-2 TLPD by not competing at all for like six months. And doesn't the Koreans get a starting point bonus? I think I've read that once. Yeah they get a starting bonus of like 1200 compared to foreigners 1000 or something in rating. And yeah aligulac is an excellent rating system. | ||

That is correct. It was one of the measures put in place to combat inflation and it has turned out well so far. | ||

Koreans get a bonus because they in general have smaller sample sizes due to less small tournaments which may inflate stats On February 01 2014 03:28 Heartland wrote: All statistics hide as much as it shows. You have to be aware of it's limitations and how it's skewed to be able to fully understand statistics. I prefer to be completely sweeping about statistics. | ||
