UPDATE 7/17: US and EU 1v1 rankings for Silver+ are fully up to date. Updates will be occuring hourly starting tomorrow. www.starcraftrankings.com -------------
I think we can all agree that the current methods of viewing the ladder are lacking some important features. Rather than wait for Blizzard to improve it themselves, I've taken it upon myself to add some of the features I wanted most.
The initial beta is up at www.starcraftrankings.com
Currently I am only showing US Platinum Divisions 1-10. I will slowly be adding more divisions, leagues, and servers. I have it almost entirely automated so it is easy for me to update it several times per day (in the future it should be real-time).
Improvements: - Viewable without the beta client - Searchable by player names or partial names - Can combine all divisions for league wide rankings. - You can download all data in CSV format to run all sorts of fancy statistics! (Please credit the raw data to starcraftrankings.com)
Sorry I do not currently have win/loss data, but it is coming soon!
EDIT: sc2ranks.heroku.com - Nagash has created his own view of the data with a few extra stats/features
http://www.tjisher.com/sc2/index.html - Ithree's awesome stats (with graphs!)
If you create any useful statistics or ways of viewing the data (which you can download from the site!) let me know and I'll post it here. Please credit the source of the data to starcraftrankings.com

Yay this is great!
Really appreciate the work you're putting in to this, I really hope Blizzard realizes how bad the current system is for not displaying true rankings for who are currently the best and so forth.

GJ.
Edit: 1 Question i have been wondering, is it easier to acomplish good ELO rating in some divisions than others? So the divisionwide ranking is not really fair, or is it equally easy to reach high ELO in all divisions?
|
Bitches at Blizzard don't know about my overall ladder standing.
Any chance it could show the number of T/Z/P/R players in the population?

This is a question I had. I made the assumption that ELO is equivalent across divisions. I could be wrong, and I will adjust the combined rankings accordingly if I learn otherwise.

Sure, though statistics like that are a bit lower priority than many other things. Keep in mind that you can download the data as CSV, import to excel (or write a program), and find many statistics for yourself.
Since I happen to have the database open and that's a pretty easy query, here's the answer:
There are 254 Zerg, 218 Protoss, 236 Terran, and 84 random players in the first ten divisions (excluding 5 and 8).

When might you have all the divisions? I'm really curious as to where all the players stand right now.

I can probably have up to division 30 by tonight if I can get the appropriate player names and IDs.

Interesting to see, though rating is pretty meaningless by itself. Is it possible to have sorts by raw # of wins, win %, and # of losses? Those things would be fairly elementary to incorporate. I'd also love to see win % based on MU, but that's probably impossible or extremely difficult.
Edit: Ha, I should learn to read. You said win-loss info is coming soon. Regardless, include those sorts =D

No heh, I spent some time reverse engineering the client so that I could get the data programmatically. It's not fully automated yet though, I still have to type in the division numbers (for now!).

Yeah those are definitely easy to implement once I get win/loss data. Matchup info is much more difficult (nearly impossible with my current method), I think we'll just have to wait for Blizzard stats on that one

This is super awesome, thanks.
Looking forward to having win-loss stats, then we can all look at what the win-loss records for races looks like over time which will rule.
|
Ohh, very nice!
I was actually thinking about doing something like this today, believe it or not
|
I think a big problem is that once i got #1 of my division at 1640 i lost a lot of pressure to mass game. if i was in the same division as someone 1700+ i would keep going for #1. I realyl hope blizzard implaments a big ladder for the pro division. It's a huge motivator to be in a division that is highly active.; I was in a much more active division before the reset and missing the first couple days after reset i got stuck in a later one.
|
Is there any way of making ELO meaningful between the divisions, even if it's just an approximate? The OP's program seems to have at least potential access to win / losses ratios and numbers + rating. I wonder if there's a way to standardise the ratings based on that data...
|
*tear* no love for division 16?
Also, I would like to point out that basing players off score alone is not an equal way to show rank because of the way the bonus pool works. Although, its a good start, great job.
|
great stuff.
would love the same thing for multiple servers and divisions.

Division 2 is fucking insane.

The players in each division all get matched against each other, so there is definitely a way to make the ratings meaningful between divisions. When we have some more analysis done we can determine what way that is. There is a good chance though they are already equivalent.

As far as I'm aware, the bonus pool is a global value shared across all divisions from the time the ladder was last reset. That means a player in division 1 would have accumulated the same amount of bonus points as a player in division 25, even if the player in division 25 didn't start until weeks later.

Partly because I need account names, and partly because it's easier to work on other things like getting win/loss data when I have less divisions to worry about.
2v2 is certainly possible but I do not have immediate plans for it since I think better 1v1 info is in much higher demand.

thx for this, waiting for an EU server ranking.

This is great! And this is why Teamliquid is the best community out there - because we have people like Gibybo.
I wish upon a star, though, that we could see win-loss statistics too.

Wow nice stuff, I'm perhaps more interested in where your getting the data from, I mean are you pulling it as if you were the beta or from some web service I'm missing ?
Fair enough if you don't want to share the 'how' (having bought a domain an all) and of course it could all change when the game goes live, just wanted to have a crack at the data and graph up some of the details.
For instance percentage of race would look quite nice when you can compare pre and post (future) patches, that kind of thing.
Either way thanks for the showing bliz the way !

I intend to be pretty open about it as I think this will work best as a community effort and really I just want to put pressure on Blizzard to do it right. You can already download all of my data in CSV form using the link at the bottom of the page.
I have tried getting the data a few ways with varying success.
In order of preference: 1. Emulating the client and connecting to the Battle.net server. - This has proven quite tricky, since the protocol is very new and undiscovered, it's encrypted, and Blizzard decided they would rather put a ton of tedious roadblocks in the way of reversing it rather than providing actual server side security (/endrant). 2. Read the process memory and find where it stores the relevant data (this is what I am currently doing). 3. Take screenshots of the ladder pages and run some basic OCR routines. - I did this for awhile but decided it was going to be too hard to get the performance and accuracy I wanted.
|
nice, but i think the reason blizz didnt do it is because they figured we didnt need to, and that ladder doesnt really mean anything right now.
|
This is some really great work, Gibybo. I love it. Thanks for all your hard work =)

Alright I've just located the win/loss bits (after several hours of searching in the completely wrong area :/) but I've been up for 24 hours so I think I need a nap but I really want to get win/loss stats up tonight/early tomorrow.

This is a really great tool. Somehow seeing that I'm #41 on the US server (at the moment) is much more motivating than seeing that I'm #6 in my division, and now I really want to get on and try to climb into the top 25

Excellent! Thanks alot man

Jeez okay, well as the Americans say 'mad propz'
Must admit I would have drawn the line before you on this, so I'm going to have a look on the display side, what kind of slice will put this data to best use. If I get something up worthy of your time I'll pass it over.
As a non-official solution seems you've ended up in a good place, doesn't bother the official servers and non of the manual work or plain unreliably of OCR (I swear that whole tech hates me).

Why does division 5 only have 2 players :O
|
Whoa awesome. I can find myself =D
Nony must be lonely in division 5.
|
Division 5 is bugged, I assume. It's the same on the European server for Platinum Division 5, apparently.

Wow, this is great, could we get a pulldown to list more than 20 people at a time? maybe 100 or more?

Sure, eventually :x
If you want to hack around it a little bit for now you can append &playersPerPage=xxx to a specific view and it will increase the table size. It'l revert to 25 whenever you click a link/button though.
ex. http://starcraftrankings.com/index.php?division=all&playersPerPage=100

add division 25!
im mark.mark if u need some 1 in this division
|
I feel like this overall ladder can happen in one of two ways.
1. Blizzard ends up putting a global ladder up that players can view in-game / online that is similar to the current ladders on bnet.
2. Fan-based ladders and rankings are forced to be made by people similar to the way WoW works with arena. Arena # is all based on your battle group, but sites like areanajunkies really made a place where people can compare themselves across servers and battle groups.
I honestly think #2 is going to be the way blizzard forces us to go, which sucks, but it makes this beta global ladder all the more important. Whoever can expand this and make a solid global ladder for sc2 will get tons of money for their website from ads if blizzard goes this route 8]

Yes a lot of people are having wins/points not counting for a percentage of their games. I think it's database lag, their servers aren't able to handle all the data.

you should put an ad or two on it so you dont have to worry about domain fees or any of that ^^. im sure this site will get lots of traffic

Hah well right now it hardly costs me anything so it's no big deal. If I have to start adding servers to keep up with traffic then maybe

The compilation of all divisions has 5 protoss and 6 terran in the top 25(vs 11 zerg) and 12 toss/13 terran in the top 50 vs 21 zerg. this game is completely balanced and ready for launch i see so 44% of the top 25 and 42% of the top 50 is zerg, yet zerg players still claim that T is the most OP race?

Maybe more people play zerg because it is the most fun? I have been learning to play them all and just find zerg to be the most fun.

also these statistics neither prove nor disprove balance. there are too many other variables involved.
what if the game is perfectly balanced (obviously not doable, but for the sake of argument go with me) and all the top players play terran (for no reason, just cause everyone likes the way plays, its not over powered it's just preference)? now what would the statistics look like for the top 50 then?
100% Terran 0% Protoss 0% Zerg
TERRAN SO OVERPOWERED GAME IS IMBAAAA.
not true as one of the conditions of this problem is that the game is perfectly balanced.
see the issue here? 50 is too small of a sample to make any real statements about balance. In any group of 50 there is likely to be some preference that prevails, and for no other reason than just variance.
of course this example is way over the top, but you should get the point.

nooooooooo stupid full time work =.= gotta go home and mass games!

Looks like your work will get even more hectic. I played a game last night with a platinum division 36 player, it was a brand new division with only like 20 players all around 1000!
Great job on updating the other ones and quick as you do though!

Hah well, the more I reverse engineer from the client, the more automated and real-time it should become. Eventually I should be able to update all divisions from all leagues and all servers every few minutes automatically - it's just going to be a slow progression to that.

You can add me for div30 btw Gibybo, Ellipse.curve

shoey.cream
in division 34 if you're going ahead to adding divisions past 25.

Well I don't know how high up division wise you plan to go with this but heres my division and name so you can add my division (36).

I am extracting the values from the SC2.exe process memory with a little reverse engineering.
Unfortunately it's not quite as fast as I'd like it to be and only 98% or so accurate. Working on breaking the (useless) bnet encryption so I can read them more directly from the server atm...

Nice work, that's brilliant! The Battle.net interface makes it impossible to view this kind of information in real-time.

I have updated http://sc2ranks.heroku.com with ladder movement (icons indicating if the player has moved up/down/stayed the same). The movements are calculated daily, and since it was just added they will currently all show up as "new" ( ! ). It should start working in a day or so once updates are done.
Global ranking movements and division ranking movements are also tracked separately. So basically on the global page it could show someone as moving down (globally) but if you view their division it could show them moving up or vice versa.
Next on the cards is pagination and sorting by any column.

Good stuff nagash
I want to display rank next to the players name when I search for it like you do, but to do that I need to store the rank in my db (which I'm currently not doing). Is there a way I can add rank with one or two SQL queries or do I just have to do one for each player?
Also, currently doing a massive div 1-31 update.

Well, I've got the updates in for pagination and sorting. Also added a search option for "minimum rating" as it makes sense when sorting by ratio so you dont get a bunch of 5-0 players with 100% ratio at the top.
I personally just added the rank once for each player, since my database is only updated once an hour/day/whatever I don't see it as a big deal.
I'm sure it is possible to grab a rank using some sort of SQL function in one query, but I couldn't tell you how
Throw me a PM with MSN details or similar and we can help each other out / look at merging.
Edit: Actually I just realized it's easy, I was thinking way too much into it lol. $sql = "SELECT count(*) FROM players WHERE rating > $player_rating"; in SQL terms. Doesn't take into account if someone has the same rating as them, but no big deal I guess.

Eh that seems expensive since I'd have to run it once for every search (or still once for every player if I cache it). It's probably plenty efficient, but I am pretty sure there is a way to do it in one query (though that query might not actually be much more efficient) for all players at once.

awesome, all divisions are there :D

Guess im late get back to the party, if you think the direction is useful I'l set about automating it, had more fun thinking about how to use the data. Only put a few up mind.
Mmman its been a while since i've done web dev outside corporate, didn't even have a db set up on my site let alone the apps.

Just reviewing the work from yesterday I think I've got as far as I can go without historic data, so theres going to be a lul before the site changes again. Not to mention having to set up the whole php+MySQL stack (some calls gonna be expensive) blah blah.
But I think we've got to an interesting point. For instance I think we can make judgements like excluding players with less than 20 wins from top player listings, as it just seems to be a hangover from a good placement round.

I have also added a new feature. In cooperation with TopReplays.com and soon to be many other replay sites, you can now view a player's replays by clicking the link next to their name. Top 100 players only.

The replays are coming from replay sites. I will be adding more sites to pull them from in the near future, just piloting it with TopReplays.com since they worked with me on the integration.

Great work, I hope blizzard takes notice of how popular this is and at least ad an option to view ladder rankings overall by server if they insist on keeping the split divisions. Truth be told, nobody will care in the slightest about their division standing at high levels of play, and programs/sites like this one will be the "real" ladder standings if the system remains unchanged.

This is amazing. Thank you so much for putting in the effort to keep this updated and adding new features!

I just pushed v2.0, looking for feedback/suggestions/bug reports (You may have to refresh it once to get it to reload the stylesheet).
Also updated the rankings - there really seems to be a lot of activity in the top 5. IdrA down to 13th and the top 3 are brand new (to the top 3).
|
great update, enjoying the new look
I'm too lazy to log into sc2 beta right now to check but is this a bug? 30 2 Protoss Win.win 0 1746 12 148 7.5% How does somebody go 12-148 and get to a rating of 1746?
|
Oh shit, yeah I don't know why it's doing that working on it...
EDIT: Found the problem: for players that have more than 255 wins, their wins are stored in 2 bytes rather than 1 (duh!) so my scanner needs to account for that which it doesn't. If someone's record looks suspicious you can probably add 256 wins and it will be correct (essentially they are rolling over after 255).
Will have it fixed later tonight I hope.
EDIT 2: Should now be fixed.

I'm highly amused by those top ranked players sporting sub-10% w/l ratios.

Yeah I will, it was just causing some trouble with IE the way I initially had it in this design so I did a quick fix by deleting it. I'll add it back in a bit. In the future updates will be more frequent and they will be per player so it'l be part of the table (maybe when you highlight their name or something).

I agree, except this doesn't show the "real" ladder standings either. Divisions aren't directly comparable because Blizzard decided to make a terrible system.
Even though you're all playing the same pool of players, you get more points from these players depending on your division. Sweet!

I would need access to an EU account and a list of people in each division. Alternatively, when I get my reader program to a more stable and easy to use stage, I can offer it for download and crowd-source the rankings.

I think they are directly comparable. I don't think it's accurate that that you get a different amount of points based on your division, where'd you get that from?
Keep in mind that it's not hard for me to adjust the points based on divisions if that would provide more accurate rankings. I just need evidence that it would be more accurate,

They are definitely not directly comparable and this is a fact and not opinion. A blue poster specifically said a while ago that one of the "problems" with creating an overall ladder was because the divisions were not directly comparable.
I've been trying to look up the post for a while now but it's buried pretty deep within one of the various sc2 forums.

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.

Hey just wanted to say the new layout and coding is amaaazzing. I was easily able to find myself and see my rank and everything, and was easily and QUICKLY able to browse the rest of the ladder.
Great work man, hope to see this continue!

Perhaps if you took the average of each division and adjusted ratings upwards or downwards based on the percentage of how far the division is from average, you'd have more accurate numbers. Just a guess, though. For example:
Presuming 1500 is the average rating in division 1, but 2000 is the average rating in division 2, we would adjust everyone in division 2 downwards by 25% to achieve equality.
That's the most balanced way I can think to do it with the presumption that rankings don't directly translate between each other.

Thanks for the link, this is interesting. I understand that rankings are not directly comparable (obviously since different divisions have different random levels of skill), but I don't understand why you can't compare the points. Everyone plays each other and the points awarded/lost are based on the hidden rating which afaik has nothing to do with division. I would appreciate any logical reasoning about why one division's points are more/less valuable than another division's points.
At the very least they seem to be pretty close right now.

That's an interesting idea and certainly one way of doing it (and very easy for me to implement), but it makes some assumptions beyond what we know:
- That divisions as a whole vary with a bias to how easy it is to get points in them. - That the average rating of a division is proportional to how easy it is to get points in that division. - That the effect of this bias applies equally to all players within it.
I think it's relatively easy to show that at least one of those is wrong with a simple example: Consider a new division 45 with one strong player and 99 players that hardly play. This one strong player will have the same bonus points as the players in division one and will be playing against the players in division one (and all the other divisions) such that the points gained by the player in division 45 are equal the amount of points a player in division 1 loses (outside of bonus points) when they play against each other. The average of division 45 is still roughly 1000, and the average of division 1 is 1200. In effect, the player in division 45 gets a 20% bonus to his points when playing directly against a player in division 1, why?

Well to start with you'd have to start recording rating exchanges between various players and establish a point of comparison to see if in fact rating exchange is unbiased in terms of divisions. It's not unreasonable to ask this as Blizzard says that the points are not comparable - so we'd just need to prove it for ourselves. A logical reason (again, speculation) would be that one division's points are more or less valuable than another division's points because: Blizzard has coded the ladder so that each individual division exists in its own bubble, with points being given out based on a combination of rank within the division, the existing points within the division, and ELO (the only thing people in different divisions have in common).
If we do establish that the rating exchange varies from division to division, however, we come into a pretty huge problem: If Blizzard can't compare points between divisions yet, then we'd have to figure out a formula ourselves. And even for a person gifted in mathematics, this would be quite difficult. Thus my advice on averaging the points is one for simplicities sake, rather than accuracy.
edit: Just from a personal point of view (this isn't good evidence, just my subjective experience) I'd say the system definitely feels like it's based more on rankings than it is in points for comparison. I'm in the top 10, I regularly play (and beat) top 10 players. I don't regularly fight people that are near my "points".

I just started doing this by asking my opponents how many points they gained/lost after the game. It would be great if some other people did this too so we could get some more data
I played one game against someone in another division, I got 11 points but he only lost 7. (div 28) I played another game against someone in my own division, I got 14 and he lost 14. (div 21) I played another game against someone in another division, I lost 6 he gained 8 (div 7)
Of course bonus points are excluded.
Just for reference, the average ratings of those divisions as of 4/11 10 AM: 28: 1181.825 21: 1131.927 7: 1205.135
Out of this very large sample size it does appear there might be a bias to different divisions. Now we just have to figure out what it is (and why..)

Keep in mind, when you win you gain extra points from your bonus pool. So if you weren't taking that into account that could be why you have different readings?
Edit: Ah I have the flu, my reading comprehension is not so great, sorry about that.

That is very interesting. However i think the most important part of comparing divisions are the number of points gained from bonus pools in each division. If one division has gotten 1200 bonus points and another has gained 2000 there will be more points gained outside of the games on the latter division. If i had to make a system, that would be the only problem with comparing divisions.
Therefore it could be funny to have stats like how many people are in the divisions each hour/day (depending on how exactly that part of the system works) and how that would impact the points gained or lost. Also tracking of activity of each player in the divisions are needed to gain a deeper knowledge of this function in the ladder.
Those stats would give an enormous advantage in developing the comparison of the divisions.

Afaik, bonus points are awarded equally to all players (if someone joins later, they are given enough to make up for the ones they missed), so certain divisions shouldn't have more than others.
I might be wrong of course but there was another thread on this forum about how it worked with more details.

That was posted before the ladder reset, it was true for that period, but the calculation for bonus pool changed a lot since then.
I found out that before the reset, you gained 1 bonus point (sent in the pool) for every player that was in the division (whether they were there when you got it or when they joined) and I can guarantee this is no longer the case after the reset.
The only variable I can envisage with the new ladder system regarding the bonus pool, is how much time has elapsed starting at some point which I believe is fixed for everyone, that would be the time at which the ladder reset.
As I am writing this, the reset has been done 17 days and 9 hours ago.
I have used 45 bonus points when I was in the silver league, which amounts to approx. 5 days and 2 hours after the reset (for the last bonus point used) - that's an average of 2,71 hours/pt.
I have used 115 points while I was (still am) in the gold division. I have been in that league for 12 days, 3 hours and 25 minutes (between switch and the time I used my last bonus point), that would make an average of 2.53 hours/pt. But since that was after a ladder promotion, we would have to calculate that on a period where the initial bonus pool was depleted (on top that I had not 1000 MMR after promotion).
So, I depleted my initial bonus pool on 2010-04-05 at 01:22 and earned my last bonus point on 2010-04-12 at 06:52 (although it is entirely possible that I earned that last point in the previous 2 hours, that's an margin of error of ~0,05) - that's a length of 7 days, 5.5 hours (and for a total of 60pts). That makes an average of 2.89 hours/pt.
On the other hand, I had entered a 2v2 division quite some time after the reset (april 3rd) with 77 points in the bonus pool, that's an average of 2,87 hours/pt, which is inside the margin of error for the value calculated since I am in the gold division.
Bottom line is, I would be extremely surprised there would be another factor than time that affects the bonus pool.
|
From what I understand, bonus points exist to help you fight against mass gamers. That is to say, if you want to take a break for a few days while some other guy keeps playing game after game, the bonus points are a way to catch up. I don't think they would be unique to each division, but rather to activity or time. They probably exist as a way to sort of normalize players within the division.
I agree with the post above me that says that time is the only thing that affects the bonus pool, as it goes in line with what previous blue posters have told us.

Very well done! Thanks!!
Now when I get mercd I know they have awesome stats and don't feel so bad!!!
|
Edit: nevermind
Thanks for the site!!

I'd love for www.starcraftrankings.com to eventually evolve into something as complete as this similar site made for AOE3:
http://aoe3.game-server.cc/rating2/ladder/age3ySP1v1
It provides a very clear overview of player rankings and personal stats, in addition to having fun and handy features like the ability to view your rating history in graph form to illustrate your skill progression through total played time.
But for starters maybe you could just steal the clean layout!
Edit: Completely forgot to give my appreciation for starcraftrankings as well! The above post was not to say that starcraftrankings is not very much appreciated in its current form. (Irregardless of problems of direct rating comparisons and personal layout preferences!) Extremely nice feature having links to replays right at the player list, I must say!

wow THIS IS AWESOME! How did you manage to do this? Wootwoot top 1000 in US beta (not much of an achievement, but i suck lol)
Thanks for all the hard work!

Is there a way to sort by win ratio, or wins, or losses? If not, that would be something cool to add. Great work!

Awesome job, this is pretty sweet

However i think the most important part of comparing divisions are the number of points gained from bonus pools in each division. If one division has gotten 1200 bonus points and another has gained 2000 there will be more points gained outside of the games on the latter division. If i had to make a system, that would be the only problem with comparing divisions. Afaik, bonus points are awarded equally to all players (if someone joins later, they are given enough to make up for the ones they missed), so certain divisions shouldn't have more than others. I might be wrong of course but there was another thread on this forum about how it worked with more details.
ok, didn't see it, and I am not familiar with how the bonus points are awarded. What I mean with this post however, is that the number of unused points in the bonus pool for each division will vary based on the activity of the division, so a division with a lot of unused bonus points, will have a lower average number of points, thus the division with most activity will have the least bonus points that are not used. Therefore the different average point values you use for each division is more a result of activity than anything else.
Therefore it could be funny to have stats like how many people are in the divisions each hour/day (depending on how exactly that part of the system works) and how that would impact the points gained or lost. Also tracking of activity of each player in the divisions are needed to gain a deeper knowledge of this function in the ladder.
Those stats would give an enormous advantage in developing the comparison of the divisions. I'm not sure what you mean here, like how often they are online? Or how the divisions grow over time in terms of the number of people in them?[/QUOTE]
the growth of the division over time(not sure those data are available?) AND the activity of each player (which is available as it stands).

I'm pretty sure some of the divisions aren't updating as often as you say they are. My rating in division 39 has been the same on this ranking list for like 6 days or something.

Oops, didn't realize I had a name for 39. It didn't show up on https://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0Ac7yROTo2o8SZDh2ZnQyaF82NjNmNXF0Z3RkZA&hl=en so I've been skipping 39/40. 39 will be in the updates from now on.

I've added a section to the doc ( https://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0Ac7yROTo2o8SZDh2ZnQyaF82NjNmNXF0Z3RkZA&hl=en&pli=1 ) for euro names. If someone gives me a euro account (it only needs to be for an hour or so per update) I can add them now, otherwise I will be distributing the ladder reader program in the near future (though I may still need a euro account to modify it for the euro client).

http://sc2ranks.heroku.com updated.
* Minor UI improvements, didn't spend a lot of time here. * Race/Division pages are basically just placeholders, not sure what I'm gonna do with them yet. * Player pages -- click a player's name to go to their page. The results returned are the player plus 3 players either side of the players current position, based on the sort criteria you select (defaults to "Rating")
And finally the most interesting feature, * Historical Data & Interactive Graphs. Graphs display information based on the sort criteria you select. Check/uncheck a player's checkbox in the table to display them in the graph.
If you have problems with the site, use Firefox. I've tested in Firefox and IE8 only, and I will probably never support IE6/7 actively.

Hey! get division 46 on there, im finally high ranked lol ...... still only 1250 rating though

You can revert to previous versions similar to Wikipedia, just go to file -> revision history. I've changed it so you at least have to log in to a Google account to edit now, then I'll just block any trolls by their account name.

Will there ever be a 2v2 ladder?

Yeah, I'd very much like to see 2v2 as well!
and by the way, for some reason I am unable to edit the list of division names (the google document) - and I did it before
anyways, for division 49 there's Andrik.duskbin (already 94 players in this division, so we'll probably hit 50 today)
|
I'd sort of like to see 2v2, except it's difficult to take it seriously when I beat rank 1 AT teams with a random partner all the time. It seems to me that the 2v2 ladder is not taken seriously at all at the moment. This may change on release but solo ladder is much harder atm.
Couldn't hurt to throw it up there, though.

I am adding an initial update for Europe today, it's at http://www.dev2.starcraftrankings.com/ (may have all sorts of bugs that appear and disappear as I am working on it).
I need European platinum account names, right now I only have 29 Please update the doc in the OP or PM me with the account names if you have trouble editing it.

Might notice lots of duplicates on Europe. Many players have had their accounts "reset", with their old account and their stats frozen in an old state.
And then rank up a new account (which is identical to but disconnected from the first one), in a different division.
Just a heads up since that might interfere with your ranking.

Wow this is pretty sick! How is the data gotten? Directly from SC2?

I just need an account name in that division to add it.
In the very near future (a day or two) you will be able to automatically update the divisions of you and your friends. That will also mean all leagues will be available rather than just platinum

there are so many 2v2 divisions, it's really not that hard to hit top2-3, you just need to be decent enough and play a lot of games
of course it's not taken as seriously, even though I found 2v2 to be quite fun, it's a bit redundant as it's much harder to get away with teching or FE'ing than 1v1
BUT, the 2 main reasons I can see why it's not taken seriously are those:
- There's almost no competition (tournaments/leagues) in 2v2 - Out of the 3 maps in the pool you have Twilight Fortress which is considered quite a bad map and/or quite boring to play
but yeah, I have to agree there are not enough good teams in 2v2, I remember that when I played a lot of 2s with my teammate we had encountered only 3 or 4 teams that gave us trouble on a regular basis (teams with players like Axslav, iNControl, LzGamer)

Alright, you can now select the server and league you want to view
I've also released the updater program (link on front page) so you can update divisions yourself. There are so many now that there is no way I can do them all myself :p
I sent the updater for testing to 3 friends and it worked for 2 and failed on 1, your mileage may vary. enUS or enGB clients are required (US and EU servers respectively).

From the logs, your browser was never requesting the new javascript, css, or images. I'm not sure why it thought its cache was up to date, possibly a bad cache expiration setting on my server, but that seemed to be the problem since it needs the new javascript to request the data properly.

Did you try multiple times with multiple ladder pages? What about restarting StarCraft II? It might also be worth testing different graphics settings (restart sc2 after you make changes if it says you need to) since that dramatically changes the amount of memory SC2 uses (as possibly the memory that my program looks at).

Tried with many different ladders, i did restart SC2, still didn't work, and would changing the graphics really make that much of a difference ? on the program it said something like 1000mb of memory or something.

i used a high setting and got 3 or 4 errors each time i tried to update with the 1089 mb files. I changed the settings to low and now the program is scanning 300-500 mb of memory which is a more reasonable amount of data and it doesn't end with an error. However i can't see the changes in the ladder yet from my updates.

Just tried it again and it said.
Scanning 509 MB Of memory Error: No ladder page found, try viewing a different one then coming back to it.

On another note: You might want to add the possibility of choosing divisions above 100 in the division drop-down menu. Especially for the lower leagues as i'm in silver division 135 and i guess more people will have the same wishes.

Alec26: You have to stay in sc2 while the process is running. Wait 30 seconds with the screen at your ladder-page after you have used ctrl+shift+s. At the same time: If you use a firewall like comodo you might want to turn it off while you use the program, cause it can ask for privileges for the program, while it is scanning data.

I do stay in SC2 while it happens, it only takes like 5 seconds, then the beep happens, and there isn't a firewall on my PC, what i don't get is why it worked earlier fine, and then i try it again and it doesn't work.

There are definitely issues with the program that cause it to not find data sometimes, as I have run into them myself. The problem is just that finding the specific data you need in the entire process memory is prone to these errors, especially since it moves every time you scan.
Technically speaking you don't need to stay in SC2 while it is running, and the program is completely done with it after the completion/error beep so you don't need to keep looking at the ladder page (though if you change before the beep it will very likely think the data is corrupted and abort). It also doesn't send the data until after the scan is completed, and the parsed data will remain in memory until the network connection to my server is terminated.
I'm working as fast as I can to increase the success rate of the scanning, but until then my only suggestion is to try at different times.
what i don't get is why it worked earlier fine, and then i try it again and it doesn't work. The ladder info jumps around all over in memory and sometimes it is hard to find, sometimes it will find it and sometimes it wont. There isn't a good reason for that, but when the only info I have to go on is raw binary memory dumps it takes some time

It is a good program though, when it works

Stangely it is claiming that ThisIsJimmy.silassassin is in Gold division 22 and ranked 0, but on my ladder page he is still rank 1 platinum division 22, rated 2168.
|
I ran the reader, and it works great for me, but when I look at the ladder rankings, it still shows players in my (gold) division that are no longer there (which I assume means they've been promoted) If the reader can add players into the rankings, removing them would make the rankings more accurate for the players in the lower divisions.
|
Yeah something is buggy now. Looks like a lot of platinum divisions got switched to Gold for some reason.

This is easy to fix (I think), just need a bit.

Will the new program your working on gunna be basically the same as the one that you already released ? Just for the newer patch etc ?

Yes, with some bug fixes. I am also adding a background mode so that it will optionally just automatically scan ladder pages whenever you view them without having to press a button (it might cause lag for single/dual core systems so its only an option).
In the future it may have some extra features as well like showing you your global rank in a window or show your opponents stats when you join a game etc. Some will depend on where I think Blizzard wants to draw the line between hacks and not hacks of course.
As far as an update on progress goes, I've been busy working on some school projects for my last week of school (ever!) so I haven't had much time for it, but hopefully I'll have it back up and running for the latest patch by the end of the week.

If needed, for plat division 90, Cynan.cynanmachae (as I see it's not there)

Alright updated for this patch. Lots of divisions missing though and data is a little less reliable now
There are over 100 divisions for each league (and multiple servers!). It looks like this method of updating is about reaching its limit :/ Looking into other ways, but it's a pain in the ass
Ladder reader v3 is up also. It's basically the same, just modified for this patch + some extra error messages when things don't work.
I had been testing a background mode that would just continually scan for ladder divisions, but I just couldn't get it reliable enough to turn on for this release :/

I only do platinum divisions myself - the others are just other people uploading them.

Hm I can't seem to be able to update anything, I always get the error League not detected

This is very nice indeed! Uploaded data for some EU-division that were not there.
EDIT: Hmmm, why does it store like 4 players from some divisions and 64 from another when I upload divisionstats ?

Well it's not perfect Have you tried after playing a game? For some strange reason my program is failing to read some sections of memory, and after going through the loading of a game it pushes memory around such that the ladder league/division part becomes readable. At least that's what happens on my computer.
Also, it needs to be an English client (GB or US).

I'm not sure what you mean, it says 'Uploaded 4 players ...' when there are actually more in the page you are looking at? That shouldn't happen (though there are lots of issues I know), you could try scanning again and/or refreshing the page by viewing another then coming back to it and scanning again.

Yeah, when I was looking at my own division it uploaded like the first 16 players or something and when I was looking at division 1 it uploaded 64 and on division 20-ish 4 players . It did not help to start the program over again it still only took a fixed number of players from each division I uploaded.

There is a window of time after you load a ladder page that the memory is valid and complete. It's like 3 seconds after it loads until 3-5 minutes later. Before or after that it can be fragmented. Sometimes it can get fragmented even within that window (especially with your own division if you haven't viewed others yet). Sometimes loading a different ladder division then coming back to it will clear it up, other times it won't :/

do you update the rankings or does it do it automatically?
or do you mean it just updates rankings daily

On May 03 2010 11:54 arb wrote: do you update the rankings or does it do it automatically?

Previously I was doing daily passes of all the divisions. I had a program that would upload the stats of a particular division while I was looking at it. So it was automatic, but I had to manually go visit all the divisions.
Now it's more distributed and divisions are updated independently by anyone who downloads the updater (link on the front page). You can see the last updated time next to each ranking on the site.
All of the players in the top 50 have been updated in the last 6 hours, most of them in the last 2.

Lol the bonus points really did screw up this ladder season, I thought they were just going to reset it again :/ I used 200 of mine, then logged off and they went away A day later my account got reset (GG division 4 -> 49). Others used 400+ of their points and never got reset.
The 6k+ person is a glitch yes. It has happened about 4 times (looking at my logs) in the past 2 days. I'm not sure how to prevent it, but it goes away on its own once someone updates the division that person is from again.

Do you know if it could be possible/easy to do for 2on2 as well ? (:

To be honest, I think that with there being so much work that already needs to go into the solo ladder, that 2v2 is pretty pointless. Someone can get high ranked in platinum by playing like 20 games. Its not really a competitive thing right now.

Yeah I plan to add 2v2 eventually, but I have a lot of other things I think are more important to do first.

It seems that division 34 is completely missing from the rankings O_o

well im trying to use it to help keep it updated but i get an error everytime.
Error:No players found. Error:League not detected. Error:Division not found, this may fix itself after playing a game.
Well after 10 games and trying it after every game, its still not working =\. Any tips?

100% sure blizzard will make an online searchable ladder. Obviously the game is still in beta.

Yes but will they get rid of these stupid divisions? With the right implementation of pro league this whole thing will be solved and my site will be obsolete, but in the meantime I want league-wide rankings searchable and online

Seriously embarrassing on Blizzard's part that one has to visit a 3rd party website in order to view rankings based on ratings.
Maybe if divisions automatically grouped certain rating brackets?

Looks like someone f*cked up all the top ladder rankings on the site/battle.net

It probably was a wow player, I don't see how a SC player would be some dumb as to do this.

There seems to be a bug that's causing it to show wrong win counts for some players. For example jmsantos.jmsantos from the Copper league is shown to have a 94-65 rec (59.12%), but when I check ingame his actual record is 50-65 (43%) which is more consistent with the ladder system of keeping everyone in this league under 50%.
Jon.inhaledalarm from the Copper league is shown to have a 108-44 rec (71.05%), but ingame he's only 35-46 (43%).

along with a very graphic picture of a naked man pulling his asshole open which I decided not to post. Did someone else hack the site? cuz I sure as shit hope so

Should be fixed now.
sigh, yeah it's the same guy. He forged over 800 records from 2 IPs lol :p
to TL mods if you want to search for him here, IPs are:
66.7.199.108 71.61.17.176
Appear to be proxies though so that's probably pointless.
EDIT: To those wondering how the attacks happened:
The updater uploads data by sending a POST request to starcraftrankings.com/input.php with the players in the division (as well as a version number for the updater). This is unencrypted and trivial to forge.
hitting starcraftrankings.com/input.php?version=4&data=Gibybo.gibybo,9000,999,0 (with a POST so not your browser unless you make an html form with the POST method) will insert Gibybo.gibybo with a rating of 9000 and 999 wins 0 losses.
Further, hitting starcraftrankings.com/input.php?version=4&data=<img src='goatse'>,9000 etc will insert that image in place of my name.
The second one is a little emberassing since I wasn't escaping characters like I should have been, but the first was intentional because I just wanted to see how long it would take before someone did it. They will be encrypted from the next versions of the updater onwards as a trivial fix to spoofing the data.

I'm still getting that error saying I'm supposedly not looking at the page.

Is it not working for patch 12?

Guess not, I'll try and fix it today.

i think that any reporting done on player names shouldn't post the second identifier. Like when i see qxc, or TLO, i know their names and chat with them
so instead of qxc.root, i only see qxc
i can also pester them while they are busy competing.
lack of DnD isn't nice, so how bout a little privacy?
just a suggestion, that i think would do a great good for now (and perhaps in the future), in which only players Avatar names are displayed (instead of the dot ident).
since there has been countless amounts of times when im watching a game and a player gets messaged, or spammed.
again, i don't want to sound rude. but hey. if i was a top plat player, i wouldn't want everyone to know my ident, unless i say so. and honestly, this is a problem with blizzards ID function, and not related to the amazing work your doing with the ladder system

When you set yourself to busy/away you don't get messages during games. The messages are still received but you only see them when you leave the game.
Edit: Forgot to mention this rankings page is also not the only way to get someones identifier. They've been posted in countless threads with brackets for a tourney. If an idiot wanted to really spam someone over and over again they'd do it. There is a "block communication" function in the friends list for a reason.

I'd vote against this. I think if you're popular enough to have people stalk you (like movie stars for example) that's just something you have to live with. I for example like looking at popular players' match history, which would be impossible to do if I don't know the player's in-game identity. Blizzard could make life easier for the famous players by implementing spam filters etc.

this only sometimes works (i don't know about the newest patch).
day9 was casting a game (forgot which one), where the player logged off then back on and set status to busy.
yet he still got messaged in game.
if this has indeed been fixed, then i guess i don't have any problem. but i still find it a bit nerving that i can go look up anyone top in the ladder and talk to them at any time, and perhaps even spam them.

I very much dislike the secret identifier system in the first place. First of all, it's not really secret because you can get someone's identifier by looking at their ladder division on Battle.net, getting a message from them, or playing them in a game. It's really just an inconvenience to players that want to lookup other players and a way of endorsing impersonators.
I think it's a key feature of starcraftrankings.com that I can find someone's full game name and look up their profile if I so wish. I'm fixing Blizzard's ladder system as well as their broken identifier system at the same time!
If people are getting harassed because their name is public, then that is a failure of Blizzard's privacy features, not of a public ladder. Remember that ICCup, Wc3, and countless other competitive ladders provide the player's full game name and it wasn't a problem.
With that said, I might consider letting players change their own display name by request.
|
So I am getting
Error: No players found Error: League not detected Error: Division not found, this may fix itself after playing a game
when I try to update. I have the eu-uk client and try to scan eu plat division 20. Have had that problem forever, but I want to see my ranking and it's very obsolete. ilovecrk.ilovecrk is me if you need one.
|
I have the same error as Asta. US Platinum Division 131. Top player is MaiDoAri.rob.
|
Awesome idea, hope u get everything working some criticisms.
1. My name is not included and neither is the guy that just beat me so I assume a lot of people are still not included. 2. When I try to use the program it says Error: No players found so I guess it doesn't work with new patch 3. Rank 6 is 14-207 so there's still cheaters 4. The division list only goes down to 100
|
Same here, I get the error "Error: No players found" when I scan the ladder page.
|

This is more then likely because wins are stored in more then 1 byte or whatever, so if the player has > 255 wins it doesn't work. Safe to assume that record is probably more like 269 - 207.
Anyways, in other news I've finally updated http://sc2ranks.heroku.com to use all the new data (region, leagues, etc).
It now has global ranks, region ranks, and division ranks.
I'm going to have to setup some background jobs (and hence, paid hosting) if I want to keep history data and updates running smoothly which means it's gonna start costing me money. Not entirely sure if I want to go down that road.
Keep in mind if your using the search fields (division, race, min rating, player name) that your results are also filtered by your navigation selections (Region & League).

Mmmh, great. I love statistics !
Btw, is it possible to see race popularity by League ?

Sorry I am slacking, there are a few bugs I need to fix (like the win/loss records not being accurate) and it needs to be updated for the latest patch. I plan on fixing it tomorrow but it's not the first time I've said that so no guarantees!
|
thanks for doing this gibybo, let us know when its fixed please ^^
|
Good Job Gibybo ! its nice to see the full rankings.
Hopefully the updater starts working soon.
|
Gibybo u should definitely stop slacking and get this up! I'm sure thousands of people need it up, you could probably make some money with advertisements too. I'd be happy to help I have some time and a bit of programming experience.

I think patch 13 is coming out in the next 24 hours which may change it again so I'll start after it comes out so I don't have to do it twice :p
|
this gonna get re-set up for the new reset?
|
Lol with no identifier and random divisions names this is gonna be such a pain in the ass to set this up...
|
So, now that the ladder 1st phase will end in 7th June, will you put an effort to update the data ?
i really hope so.

Well this update was long overdue, but starcraftrankings.com is now better than ever
In the next few days: 99% of all players on US and EU will be in the system (including all leagues). Updates will happen automatically every hour (and perhaps more frequently for the top players) with no client download required.
By SC2 release: 2v2, 3v3, and 4v4 will be included.
|
i love the ladder system and the sit ebut honestly im not sure i like people being able to look up my pofile, match history and all that. I do hope sc2 comes up with a private option.
|
you can't see any details of your actual matches apart from the fact that you played them and either won or lost on the online information (in-game is obviously a different story). You don't even see who the opponent was
|
yesh i love this site lol great job man
|
Added a ton more data. Everyone in a 1v1 ladder silver league or higher on either the US or EU should show up. Let me know if you don't see someone (actually the EU script will be going for another 20 minutes or so from this post, so wait until then :p).
|
I found something strange.
If I browse united states ranking it says WhiteRa is ranked 9.
If I search for WhiteRa it says he is ranked 7.
EDIT: Browsing on WhiteRa it says its updated 16 minutes ago. Searching for WhiteRa says it was updated 21 minutes ago. Probably thats the reason for different rankings.
|
Good catch.
I just turned on some more aggressive caching and it looks like it is causing some minor data integrity glitches The ranks from search are pulled from cache, the ranks from browse are computed on demand (so they are probably more accurate). Looking into fixing the cache.
|
Hi Gibybo,
thanks for bringing the service back up! The CSV seems to time out though, too much data in there.
Any possibility you can split it up?
Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /home/gibybo/starcraftrankings.com/csv.php on line 27
|
|
Hi Gibybo,
When looking at a specific ranking, any chance of seeing total number of players?
Like for example I see someone is ranked 7832.
That's fine and all. But still I don't know if there are 8 000 players or 8 000 000.
A suggestion is that you display the number of players within the search category, for example "US Platinum", or "EU Platinum" or "US Total", or whatever the search category is.
thanks for a great site.
|
Awesome. Suggestion to sort by league and then by rating in the search page.
|
please add asian!
and the top of the asian ladder better be 20/30 zergs.
|
this is amazing. keep up the great work.

This may be a noob question but as I'm new to SC in general I'm ok with that. =)
How do you find your division number? When I check my ladder I see a name like "Nexus Theta" but no numbers. I asume it's just somewhere and I've just over looked it but I can't seem to find it. Also, does your division number matter as far as rank or is it a way to seperate each group of 100 players?
I'm new to this ladder system and hear people say they were "1300" in SC1 and I asume that means... world rank? This TL account is new so I can't start a new post for three days so I was hoping to find some answers here.
I'm only gold now and have a long way to go but I'd really like to wrap my head around the ranking system and how it works. I've asked quite a few people and at least in the circle I play with nobody really knows but we'd all love to find out. Is this rank list "offical" or is it just a self made list that doesn't count towards a real ranking? I've also head of ranking such as B+ and D-. Is that the same ranking system? Why is one numbers and the other based of a grade system?
Anyone who could explain the basics of how it works and where I can find more info on how to get into the rankings would be a great help. I know there's a whole class of new players that have the same questions. I may only be gold now but I'm getting better everyday and really want to start tracking my progress as my skill grows.
Thanks! P.S. I have tried to find some of this information out on my own but I have not had much luck. It seems players either talk about it like everyone knows or not at all.
|
This is also a good way to see if others have your name lol, and how mAny WhiteRa fakes there are
|
Hardway, click Multiplayer, next to your league icon (like the Gold emblem), there is a number next to it, that's the rank in your division in your league

Division number means nothing, they took out division numbers because people thought it meant something, it was confusing. Your division is just random when you get put in a league just a way to split up leagues. Blizzard wants you to feel like you are competing vs 100 other people instead of 10,000+ in gold, ect.

Why is one numbers and the other based of a grade system?
Not exactly sure what you are talking about here, you are all over the map in asking questions. The grade system was popular ranking for ICCup. Blizzard is using named leagues + points system inside of leagues to rank people. So overall you have Diamond > Platinum > Gold > Silver > Bronze. Then inside of the league you have Rating, you get and lose Rating from games. How exactly you lose and gain points is loosely based on an ELO system. You can read a little bit more about it in the liquipedia (http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Battle.net_Leagues). Its not really important that you know the details of how it works really.
Also people saying they are "500" level Diamond doesn't mean anything really. 500 rating one day means something different the next day because of point inflation over time. As for if this is 'official' the answer is kind of. Right now in beta there is no way to go and look at different divisions and compare them. Starcraftrankings.com is using bots to crawl the sc2 website and get the information themselves. So the data should be accurate. Since the system has inflation in it, it does favor people who play more, though in theory over a large enough amount of games it should even out. As of writing this post Huk is #1 and idra #2, but idra has a better win:loss ratio, but less games played.
Anyone who could explain the basics of how it works and where I can find more info on how to get into the rankings would be a great help.

You sir, are god. I was waiting a long time to see when this would come back up (after the patch 12 fiasco!)
Thank you for your continued and renewed efforts, and I hope that you do the same after retail. =]

Good stuff as always. Your effort is appreciated.
