The top 200 of Europe just hit the tray.

Unfortunately sc2ranks.com has no access to most of the european database after the reset. It will therefore be impossible to find division tiers for the week!

Allow me to propose a situation then to see if I understand things correctly.

I am a low point diamond player (477) with a huge B.P. (almost 1700 I think). Over the weekend I was playing mostly against mid to upper platinums, all the while my screen telling me that I was slightly favored. Then I play a 2200 diamond and before the match it said we were even. I beat the 2200 zerg and win 36 points, including bonus.

Seeing we were "even", which is based my MMR vs his points (right?), would it be fair to assume that my division class would higher than his, the implication being that his 2200 points would be worth less than my 477? Or could my MMR have changed enough while largely winning against the platinums, such that my short term moving average would have estimated that the 2200 zerg was closer to my skill level? My guess is both, I'm likely to be in a higher division class than he, and my MMR took a short jump seeing as I don't get to play many games.

I'm looking at the questions conceptually, I know this 1 piece of data isn't enough to be of value. Is my understanding somewhat correct?

Other way around. His MMR vs your points.

There are less than 140 players on Master League on LA. Some players will only play on weekend, but there's actually a huge chance we'll have less than 200 players on Masters.

This means Grand Masters is stupid for us
This means we need to have a server merge with NA and make a "Americas" server :D
This also means that we can potencially have the next top 200 with diamonds inside, and calculate the off-set from there ^^

Wait and hope...

Will that even be relevant, though, considering Master points appear to be completely separate from the rest of the leagues?

It will be as interesting as it can be

Exc_Z, do you think that a stable 2700 diamond player won't be stable again in master after some games? Let's say 2500. Even though there was a reset, that doesn't mean an offset doesn't exist, and that offset will be visible as soon as people get their points back (less bonus points they got in this meanwhile).

There is a reason we don't see 3000 bronzes all the time. When we do see one they are promoted to diamond soon enough, most likely, that's cause points do correlate in some way to MMR.

In the same way, a 2700 diamond will eventually match his MMR on master and be X. A 3000 diamond will also be X + 300. If both 2700 and 3000 ex-diamond players stabilizes again with a 300 points difference, than that will mean the only difference than before is the bonus points they got plus the master offset(advantage).

Well, on NA where you already have more master divisions than LA has of diamond divisions it probably won't matter, who cares about diamond anymore? But if we indeed end up with less than 200 players on master here on LA, then yes it will matter for a lot of players here, it will actually matters for top 200!

So he may have had a short term losing streak in his moving average to make us "even"?

Or would that be indicative that he's in a lower division class? I've played many other players that were 1100-1800 points higher than me and seen us being even.

Hmm, that's a good question. Right now, new Master members are playing every game with their opponent Favored, meaning the points they started with are quite far from their true MMR. I suppose once we start seeing constant Even matches we might have a better idea of where their points will stabilize? So in the context of the Top 200 maybe we'll see how many Diamonds are in between Master players, if any, and perhaps get some idea of what translates to what. The only thing we know is it didn't translate to anything at the start.

I've done some searching but can't seem to find this information so I apologize in advance if it's already out there: where can I find division ranks for the EU?

hephaestos has been updating this thread, but I suppose it's pretty messy at this point. I'll update the OP with the tier info of the other regions in a collapsible spoiler.

I'm still trying to piece things together here but so far I'm not seeing any kind of logical correlations.

This is just a hypothesis, but since the master league ratings seems to be converging on the adjusted diamond-league ratings pre-patch (or something similar), is it possible that the normal "inactivity" penalty for not having used up all the bonus isn't as straight forward? Since some players have only been inactive for a couple of weeks, they don't have that much bonus, but possibly having played enough games for their master league rating to converge on their MMR?

So for example if some player was 3000 pre-patch in a class S division, but only played enough games to get their bonus pool to 0, but not enough to get their rating to the MMR, they're still being treated at their MMR?
I always try to shield slam face, just to make sure it doesnt work

I didn't look at this exhaustively, but I did consider that maybe it was a bonus pool thing. I compared two people within the same division:

12 REQRookie 675-623 2840 Tabrenus Zeta (current bonus pool: 4, pool at time of snapshot: possibly 0)
14 DarkChiGoXPn 759-678 3007 Tabrenus Zeta (current bonus pool: 3, pool at time of snapshot: maybe 1 or 2 at the most?)

It doesn't explain the huge gap in points.

There are a lot of diamond players on LA Top 200, But I am so tired today ZzZzZz

I'll do my best, maybe tomorrow I'll have something.

Things to look: Are at least the diamond players still using the same old logic? Is any diamond players higher than any master players? etc

Cya!

http://us.battle.net/sc2/pt/blog/2113739#blog

Edit:

The highest diamond on LA top 200 is top 5! That absolutelly means that not being in master league doesn't mean having a lower... whatever criteria it is for top 200 >.>

http://us.battle.net/sc2/pt/profile/63769/2/Nash/

There are less than 200 players on LA master league, also, most of the players with very low game (40-70) didn't make it into top 200, diamond players made it instead!!

The top 5, Nash, is actually a pretty active player, so why is he not Master?? Excalibur, that question goes to you!! He is from an E-Ranked division, with 2699 (2384) points, 100% used bonus pool (2346).

Edit3: Confirmed that the old "math" doesn't work even with diamond players!! ZOMG

I thought there wasn't any division tiers in master league, and that they patched that out for this or am I mistaken?

well the top 200 isn't determined solely by MMR, otherwise all the top diamond players who haven't played since 1.2 would be in it
