Another quick update to those who care. Unfortunately the only way to check this is if you have a friend online where you can check his profile to see where he stands in the rankings. (Blizzard really needs to fix this).
Div 17 not taken into account for any of this, didn't have the data yet. Will be in next week though.
Stats currently among the top 8 ranks:

Thanks to Yoren we have some additional stats on some of the top players when compared to last week:
I appreciate you posting these since I'm not in beta to see them so I'll take you up on comparing the players you had last week with this week.
(My first post here so didn't know how to make a table look nice so its in narrative form)
1. Oversky went 86-46 (65%) this week. This is 8% lower than their overall win rate going into this week (73%). New overall win rate: 71%
2. Smuft went 110-43 (72%) this week. This is 9% lower than their overall win rate going into this week (81%). new overall win rate: 78%
3. Lorelei went 75-49 (60%) this week. This is 13% lower than their overall win rate going into this week (73%). New overall win rate: 67%
4. CowGoMoo went 7-2 (77%) this week. This is 15% lower than their overall win rate going into this week (92%). New overall win rate: 91%
5. vOidwards went 37-26 (62%) this week. This is 9% lower than their overall win rate going into this week (71%). New overall win rate: 70%
6. CrunCher went 43-31 (58%) this week. This is 13% lwoer than their overall win rate going into this week (71%). new overall win rate: 68%
7. philanderer went 24-14 (63%) this week. This is 6% lower than their overall win rate going into this week (69%). New overall win rate: 68%
8. Real went 18-16 (53%) this week. This is 10% lower than their overall win rate going into this week (63%). New overall win rate: 56%
9. hotsauce went 110-100 (52%) this week. This is 6% lower than their overall win rate going into this week (58%). New overall win rate: 56%
10. Dev went 36-31 (54%) this week. This is 4% lower than their overall win rate going into this week (58%). new overall win rate is 57%
I only compared people who were number 1 last week as I don't have the data on what the new number 1s were last week.
Some other observations.
1. Average decline in this weeks records with their overall win percentage from all games before this week was 9.3%
Analysis: The field is tightening quickly. Not a single player who was the top of a platinum leage last week was able to maintain their same win percentage. This clearly shows that the field as a whole is getting better.
2. Overall win rates of these 10 players dropped an average of 2.7% The large dispartiy between this and the weekly declind of 9.3% suggests to me that the game is tightening faster than the win loss rates indicate as its the volume of games these players played early on that really helps keep their records looking so incredible.
3. The total record of these players this week was 546-358 (60%).

I posted last week's in the OP as well, Protoss still dominating in #1 spots. The top 8 ranks evened a little, but I think that's only because I added like 10 more divisions since last week and the newer divisions are still kinda fluctuating for stats and top spots (a bunch of the teen ones have like 4 terrans who are like 40-20 records and shit). Just look at Div 18, I probably should have left it out.
last week there were :
Z 38%, P 35%, T 19%, R 9%
among the top ranks.
This week:
Z 35%, P 29%, 26%, R 10%
|
I remember an Idra interview where he said he picked terran because he thought it was the most difficult race.
|
Nooo my div 15 rank has been restored! Me failing protoss trying all sorts of cool strategies that throw the game sent me to gold for tonight lol.
BTW charlie it was an honor playing you at blizzcon =)
U wooped me up 3 games before I had to take some more practice learning games :D

Nice first post Yoren, welcome to TL =)
|
the reason why win rate is going down is because ever since either the first or second patch, blizzard fixed the matchmaking system to where it is willing to take a lot longer to find an opponent to actually match your skill level. a lot of people had inflated records before the first-second patch because the previous matchmaking system would match you up with a noob if it didnt find a capable opponent within the first 10 seconds of search.

:O I hope that is actually dinot, that would be sweet if he came back.

Thanks for posting, keep us updated

iono, top 4 in my division (including myself) play T
I think that once people figure out how to use T effectively it's going to be just as good or better than the other races

I just discovered that the number of ladders you can access through your friends is limited. What it means is that if you have a large number of people on your friend list and you look at "Your friend's leagues", it will display only the leagues for your 30 highest ranking friends. If it was only that, it would be fine, but no...even if you look at your friend's profile, and he's ranked outside that top 30 of your list, you will not even be able to see it's ladder, unless you have someone else in that top 30 in that same division.
In short, that makes it a total nightmare to have people on the 22+ 2v2 platinum ladders on your friend's list as well as having your real friends on there. Specially when you have players that rank high in all their teams (which often ended up with 2 teams in the same league...)
That specific limitation just set me back at least half an hour of profile browsing to find players on every 2v2 ladders...
edit : does anyone have the full ID of BuMrUsH (or something like that), he's the only player I have on the 2v2 division 4...? I would also need the full ID of at least one player in the 2v2 Plat. divisions 19 and 21 ??
With these info I should be able to post the entire 2v2 platinum league (well, unless there are more than 22 divisions).

I wrote a script yesterday morning that does this, I'll be posting it but it might be a day or two as news or something. It adds up the winrates of all the top 8 though by race, not individual players.
Thanks for posting this. Also, the friends don't need to be online, they just have to be in your list (and it looks to me like you don't need to be mutual friends or whatever to do it).
Yoren: great work thanks for that!

I gotta admit it feels pretty good to be number one in division 18. I'm the terran named Nikola. I went from bronze league (lol i know, so bad) to gold and just now have been put into platinum. Took a bit to get to number one in platinum though. Gotta get to 2000 ELO gogogo

I think SC2 is going to be a way different game, where kors wont dominate (as much) because of the ease of control.

Whoever puts in the most time, will dominate. Similarly, whichever region has the best E-Sports infrastructure will most likely dominate. Hopefully MLG, Blizzard, and others don't screw up the perfect storm for SCII. SC II could very well be as big as Halo in the NA E-Sports scene (Contracts of millions, ESPN televised, etc.). If it comes to that, I could very well see a thriving competition between NA and Asia, and if the Europeans get something similar (ESL?, TV viewers, etc.), then we could see a cool three-way dynamic where each region develops their own meta-games.
Who knows, though. All conjecture at this point. Contrary to popular belief Asians are not born with RTS genes. :p

I lost 100+ points when I did that from losing so many games off that lol.

Can someone actually work in a top 200(updated) like the threads before, although the highest in divisions is nice to know it is always a little skewed depending on the players in the divisions themselves, for example a #1 being a 1300 in division x while division y can have 2000.

Makes sense and its things like that that statistics unfortunately do not easily capture.

Still haven't found anyone in division 17. My guess is that the leader of division 17 still has a small elo and hasn't played any of the top rank platinums from other divisions.

Hey just something i saw, in the screenshot for div 14 it has glade as over 2000 elo, but in those rankings it says he has 1800. Maybe im not getting it but just something i noticed!

looking at these rankings (both us and eu) make terran not seem as bad as everyone is making them out to be.

a nice winning streak can easily give you a couple hundred of points, don't worry, we don't shop these screenshots

i know u are super high rank so u probably know better than me, but it has been my feeling that games are longer in sc2. However, this may just be an illusion since games usually get to later tech than sc1, but in reality buildings and tech all build/research faster than in sc1.

good to see the racial balance at the top is improving actually, it's about the same. Anyone care to add up games played and W/L for some of the top players since last week? I'm all mathed out right now haha I appreciate you posting these since I'm not in beta to see them so I'll take you up on comparing the players you had last week with this week. (My first post here so didn't know how to make a table look nice so its in narrative form) 1. Oversky went 86-46 (65%) this week. This is 8% lower than their overall win rate going into this week (73%). New overall win rate: 71% 2. Smuft went 110-43 (72%) this week. This is 9% lower than their overall win rate going into this week (81%). new overall win rate: 78% 3. Lorelei went 75-49 (60%) this week. This is 13% lower than their overall win rate going into this week (73%). New overall win rate: 67% 4. CowGoMoo went 7-2 (77%) this week. This is 15% lower than their overall win rate going into this week (92%). New overall win rate: 91% 5. vOidwards went 37-26 (62%) this week. This is 9% lower than their overall win rate going into this week (71%). New overall win rate: 70% 6. CrunCher went 43-31 (58%) this week. This is 13% lwoer than their overall win rate going into this week (71%). new overall win rate: 68% 7. philanderer went 24-14 (63%) this week. This is 6% lower than their overall win rate going into this week (69%). New overall win rate: 68% 8. Real went 18-16 (53%) this week. This is 10% lower than their overall win rate going into this week (63%). New overall win rate: 56% 9. hotsauce went 110-100 (52%) this week. This is 6% lower than their overall win rate going into this week (58%). New overall win rate: 56% 10. Dev went 36-31 (54%) this week. This is 4% lower than their overall win rate going into this week (58%). new overall win rate is 57% I only compared people who were number 1 last week as I don't have the data on what the new number 1s were last week. Some other observations.1. Average decline in this weeks records with their overall win percentage from all games before this week was 9.3% Analysis: The field is tightening quickly. Not a single player who was the top of a platinum leage last week was able to maintain their same win percentage. This clearly shows that the field as a whole is getting better. 2. Overall win rates of these 10 players dropped an average of 2.7% The large dispartiy between this and the weekly declind of 9.3% suggests to me that the game is tightening faster than the win loss rates indicate as its the volume of games these players played early on that really helps keep their records looking so incredible. 3. The total record of these players this week was 546-358 (60%).
Actually the main reason for the drop in win rates is that they changed the AMM system around the time the first Platinum Division Leader Rankings was released.

I think Smuft is the most impressive player in the US ladders.

I got bumped to platinum tonight after a good run.
Add - Jambi.rts to see Division 17 platinum.

Just as I suspected the leader has a low elo or whatever it's called, which is why I wasn't having any luck finding anyone from division 17. Last game was a loss to a 54% rank 1 silver player. Probably the weakest platinum division at the moment.
|
I love these threads, keep em going!
Also the % analysis regarding this week and last was a nice bonus.
|
Division 19 just opened up, add shikhye.joeeee to see that ladder. Just 9 people in it at the moment.
|
damn you people and your fucked up names
|
Terrans making a comeback.. kinda
IDRA IS TOSS??? That traitor...
|
cant win lately as terran.
|
I think Smuft is the best player in the US side right now.
|
I got a friend in 17 so here is the SS of its current standing. I saw 17 left blank so far so hopefully this helps.
|
Definitely agree that Smuft is the best protoss if not player on the us server at the moment

I don't appreciate the BM... just because I'm constantly trying to form new strats instead of grinding ELO with cookie-cutter strats doesn't mean I'm the "weakest"... T_T

why does it seem like you're bitching about Terran EVERYWHERE? man up and learn how to play right.
if you listened to SC2 developer interview, he said winrates for almost all the MU's are about 50/50. If you look at plat div leaders, you can find Terrans up there!
the fact that you seem to not be able to win lately with terran just implies that you're bad at using them, stop blaming your lack of skill on game imbalances.

I disagree. As soon as my friend stops hogging the account I'm planning on getting online and owning many protosses and zergs (as well as terrans ofc.)
I mean, we don't have to worry about the super fast warp gate rush (which I do believe was imba and needed to be fixed somehow) and hydras are a bit weaker which is pretty nice.
I still think TvP is hard vs really good P's who know how to play it but I'm not ready to give up on terran yet.
|
Hydra's aren't really weaker. A .05 attack speed "nerf" is hardly noticeable. Roach/Hydra still owning.
Actually Xeris, Terrans are losing way more than they are winning in the Plat and Gold Leagues. Terran is just much weaker than Zerg and Protoss right now. Could you please show us how its done?
Lately I've seen a lot of Zerg's go pure zergling/baneling, and that combo is devastating. You really can't go air too much because they'll just run you over on the ground, and banelings literally destroy everything on the ground of Terran. Banelings w/ speed upgrade + creep = can't micro them down. Just about every Zerg spreads the whole map with creep now ;/
Ah....just a bit pissed at losing my last 6 games to weaker players ;/
|
I think the hydra nerf is kinda significant as hydras are basically support damage for roaches at the moment. Also the burrow cost/time change is going to make openings in zvz a little more random but maybe make fast expanding possible i dont know;;

if burrow is same cost as in BW i think it should be moved back to teir 1 imho. It was fine at lair because it was 50/50 but now that it's back to 100/100 (like bw) it should be lowered.
As for the hydras, the nerf really only shows itself when you have like over 10 maybe 20 hydras. Where the 1/10 of a second actually adds up to something noticeable. The other time it shows is when an air unit haplessly runs into a group of hydras, it won't be drilled so hard before it retreats.

hihi division 19 leader is me :D 69-29 1868 atm

There is a division 20 too.

EDIT: Sorry for ghetto print screen screenshot lol ^^

I was impressed at how fast I could destroy my record by switching race (I was about 70-45 when I joined the division), but oh well, it's all because there's a reset coming ^_^

They need to reorganize the ladder there are 90 ppl in my division some divisions have like 50 others barely have 30. imo every week or so they should re do the ladder orgination putting to top in elo going down so highest would be division 1 first rank, 2 highest would be division 2 first place etc etc

Going back to Terran gave me a leet rating :D

Yay got into platinum 19 with pitiful ZvZ.
Definitely thinking about switching races already as ZvZ bores me.

add tamer.spl to friend list to see platinum division 20 ladder.

you think other races mirror are fun??
ok, I have to admit, I'm a proxy rax abuser in TvT and I kind of enjoy those games (specially when the opponent reacts correctly and that makes some funny games), but otherwise, TvT is boring (although I think PvP is worse...despite my little experience of the game)

will the OP update with those new stats ?

there is more and more terran on top of there division. Finaly there is a kind of balance

I actually have only been playing for a few hours so I just finished playing the last of the three mirrors.
I rank them
TvT > PvP > ZvZ
I don't know how TvT is on higher levels but when I played it was like a tank wraith TvT.

Blue post on the official bnet forums(link):
"As far as the leagues are concerned, you'll be able to discern your progression based on the division within the league that you're in. In other words, you could be in the Platinum league as rank #1 division 10, whereas your friend may be in the same league as rank #1 but in division 48. So, there is definitely a distinction; as far as having a top 100 ladder, there may be an invite-only pro league that will be available."
then
"Sorry I misunderstood what the OP was referring to. I didn't mean to imply that one division is ranked better than the other, but simply explaining the basics of divisions. As far as comparison across divisions it's certainly something we've considered but there are issues, such that the rankings in one division don't directly translate to the other divisions. So you couldn't compare division 10 to division 48 and compare one player's points to another."
So a total rankings from the sound of this is that it wont happen.

zvz does get boring due to it still being ultra hard to stop 1 base mass roach, I've been messing with mass lings and expos but it's such a hard life.

Guys, I'll update another OP soon. I haven't been home for the last few days or been on sc2 so I dunno if ladder was reset or anything.

Say what? That sounds like a total contradiction of what their FAQ said. The FAQ says no distinction between divisions from the same league, this blue says there's definitely distinction.
