So, one of the features I'm in the process of adding is the ability to view VoDs by profile. The problem with this, unlike replays, is that they are purely by name, rather than using bnet ids. I'm going through the list myself as well trying to identify or verify profiles, but people who either knows one or two of the profiles offhand would be a great help.

This is faked data and slightly out of date, but http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5050/5348058409_06d4616bf2_b.jpg is what it will look like.

There is about 790 characters total, some of them are identified by name, some have a few profiles. You don't need to be able to identify every single one, but even one or two is a great help.

(I'll be editing the page as I get names)

just fyi, from the list, the second manually verified entry (zergbong) is now also a part of nestea's regular profile (http://sc2casts.com/player368-NesTea).

It had 1 vod under zergbong, and the rest under nestea, now they are merged.

Do you want us to post the information here?

Also liquipedia will be a huge help in this.

For example, you can just type in TSL_Killer or SangHo or babybyebye to find his profile, and it has all of his names, but states that he ladders under the name "티에스엘킬러" which can be found here http://sc2ranks.com/kr/2039264/티에스엘킬러

I can help you with some more if you need!

P.S. by the way, "티에스엘" is phonetically "TSL" (like saying "tieseuel" out loud) while "킬러" translates to "killer". So, anyone with a name that starts with "티에스엘" is in TSL.

Ah thanks, that will make the korean names a lot easier to find. Posting here or emailing shadow@sc2ranks.com works, whichever is easier for you.

is there a reason the player search is case-sensitive now? makes it really hard to find people :\ i don't think it was always like that, and there doesn't seem to be any way to search without it

Where are you with this? Can you enable the feature for the manually verified accounts?

It'll be up soonish. Waiting to see if SC2Replayed gets an API fix out soon, if they don't by tomorrow night I'll push it all live.

Ok great. Once it's live and working, I'll try to identify more players (maybe the more popular first?), and will post in here.

New versions up, changes:

SC2Casts integration is mostly in, a global page still needs to be added but you can now see the last 10 vods for a player that is associated. Right now about 130 players will have vods show up, but it's being improved as I get name -> profile associations. You can help improve it by checking out https://gist.github.com/b0428571370facd0c8c7 if you know one or two profiles of a name, let me know and I'll get them added. Example: http://sc2ranks.com/us/315652/ROOTCatZ

Added the ability to search for replays by league, this is based on someones current league, not necessarily the league they were when they played the match. For example: http://sc2ranks.com/replays

Fixed masters league being cut off in league stats.
Fixed masters league race points graph not showing up.
The top 200 master players will have there divisions updated once every 20 minutes, this is about 56 divisions right now.

For people who do replay sites and are interested in having your replays show up in profiles, I'm looking to expand the database. Here's what is needed:

The URL should accept an unix timestamp and only return replays that were added to your DB at/after the time period passed, or 0 to pull everything (for initial imports).

Data should be returned as JSON, for example the replay http://replayfu.com/r/tjk72q would return data that looks something like this:

{bracket: "1v1", site_url: "http://replayfu.com/r/tjk72q", map: "Blistering Sands", played_on: "2011-01-08 09:13:00", match_length: 863, build_version: 16939, characters: [{region: "eu", bnet_id: 889628, name: "ExiZ"}, {region: "eu", bnet_id: 1006110, name: "Alaran"}]}

bracket is 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, 4v4, ffa.

If you're interested, have more questions or a URL to provide, you can email shadow@sc2ranks.com (or PM me here).

I'll start going through the profiles.

As some players have multiple IDs, can you link multiple sc2ranks profiles to an sc2casts player?

Especially when it's confirmed that it's the same player on multiple servers and or just different IDs?

Added another 40 names to the DB thanks to chukpeev.

Right now you can't associate a name with multiple profiles, it's something I need to change thought.

Blizzard's Top 200 list for North America seems drastically different to Sc2rank's Top 200 list. Anyone know why? It's not even a division disparity.. A player 200 points ahead of me in my division is actually lower than me on Blizzard's Top 200 page. Is this just a mistake on Blizzard's part?

thats because blizzard's top 200 is by MMR, and sc2ranks is by points, which masters league has majorly skewed towards those who have played/won more games since master league began.

No, something is majorly different and it's not due to MMR vs points. Excal is looking it and he'll have more posted later.

the top 200 has always been based on points in the past and if you really look at it this week it makes no sense that it would be based on mmr considering how low some pro players with crazy win ratios are compared to mass gamers near the top, unless their mmr system is just awful

oh i thought it was based on MMR in the past -.-

i guess the disparity i was noticing before that made me think it was based on MMR was probably because of division tiers and i just didn't know about those yet

There's two disparities you would see, one is unknown divisions so you would see someone on the top 200 list that wasn't on SC2Ranks. The other was just time delay, Blizzards top 200 and the blog post aren't done at the same time, so you could see a snapshot on the top 200 that was 4-6+ hours old. In that case, SC2Ranks wasn't inaccurate, it was just more up to date.

when typing in names you have the option of contains, exactly, etc. check these options again and post back if it fixed your problem or not
