wow my division (2) is the toughest.

Does that mean that my low points would probably be higher if I was in another division?



Your division is the not the hardest but the easiest, because it is bigger so you get the most points there. Elo points cannot be compared from division to division, so far now we can only compare ranks.

I dont understand this. Knowing that you can play against any people who are in any other division (and even any league apparently), i dont see why Elos shouldn't be compared. (And moreover, i dont see why there are divisions.)
Well, i see a reason: making kind of brackets for end season tournaments.

If anybody plays against anybody during the "regular season", the ratings are definitely comparable.
Then, the divisions are just there to pick up top seed players for tournaments?


Elos are only absolute within your own division.

If you play someone in your division the amount of points you gain = the amount of points your opponent loses (as far as I can tell).

When you play someone from another division the amount points you gain are only equal to the amount of points your opponent loses IF there are the same amount of players in both divisions.

My guess is Blizzard don't want players in empty divisions to gain too big of an ELO lead before it's filled up with players. For this reason you can't compare a division with 8 ppl to a division with 50.


Do you have a source on the ELOs being absolute only within their division? I see a lot of assertions flying around.

Wooow.... I'm actually kinda mad that even in the Top-200 in the US, there are People that actually have under 30 Games!

C'mon Blizzard: 20-30% Sell their Key on eBay, 20-30% don't even play more than a few games a Day - do a better Job distributing the Keys to ppl that really deserve them. :S

You don't have to play 30+ Games a day, but to see such a HUGE difference in Games played in the Top-200 is just sad for ppl that had the ambition to play many games to get to the Top of the Ladder.

... the way they didn't deliver things they would in SC2, the way they distribute their keys to ppl, the way they don't seem to answer emails concerning SC2-Beta-related questions etc.


I think 3-4 games a day is plenty of information for blizzard. To say that people that don't play tons of games don't deserve to be in the beta is a little ridiculous. Most people have jobs that prohibit them playing all day.

I don't think the purpose of the beta is game spamming and beefing up your record. What if the person who played 30 games has sent more feedback on his games than the person playing 400 games (which is kind of excessive if you think about it.... 400 games in 9 days)?

People need to chill out and stop e-mailing blizzard. Wonder how many emails they get per day regarding the beta. It's hardly week 2 of the beta and the battle.net forums are out of control.

Like they've said, ELO inflation seems like a likely problem.

Idra is hilarious, he rages so hard it seems xD

I randomed one game and got ZvP vs Idra, I think he was gonna go fast DT but I slipped a pair of lings up his ramp past his zeals and see a citadel, kill1 probe, and then he just quits.
