Well, RootCatz is still on top 200 on LA, even though he doesn't play since 11th Jan.

http://us.battle.net/sc2/pt/profile/210314/2/ROOTCatZ/

Edit:

What I could grasp:

1) The old math doesn't work even for diamond players. (edit2: probably just a sorting problem though)

2) Inactivity (1 week) isn't a problem. (edit2: but inactive players will be lower on top 200)

3) Being diamond isn't a problem for top 200. This is interesting, that might prove that the system promote at somewhat random, or that the top 200 is somewhat random. (edit2: this isn't specially interesting, a top 5 diamond just means the sorting isn't by MMR)

4) It seems that having too little games (40-70) is a problem, so even diamond (that is suposedly lower than master) will be prevalent over them. (Edit2: low games isn't a problem, low activity is)

isnt it more likely for it to be a top 200 generation bug then anything else?

It is a possibility, but I kind of doubt it.

There could be only one difference from the new and old moddel. Instead of sorting by points, they now sort by something else (games played, activity, Idk), but it is still the top 200 points or mmr.

A good question would be: is there someone what should be there by mmr or points but isn't? If the answer is no, then the change could be only on sorting.

Edit:

Most players till top 127 on LA master on sc2ranks site are on top 200, the 128+ aren't though.

Coindence? I don't think so. Blizzard is still getting the top MMR/Points or whatever, just as before, they are just sorting them in a weird way.

I'll still take till tomorrow to have a full parse, sorry.

Edit2: I think they sorted it by activity or some math that involves activity.

Edit3: I just noticed there are no ties anymore, it would be weird to people to tie on activity, right? ^^

New theory on top 200 making:

3 pre-requisites:

1) Top X MMR

2) Top Y Points (edit5: actually points doesn't seem to be a criteria at all, it was a sorting criteria before, but now it means nothing it seems)

3) Top Z Activity

Then they sort it by anything they want, it used to be points, but it is now activity.

Edit4: That is interesting cause it tell us that activity by Blizzard isn't about "last day you played a game", but "how many games you played in the last X time", so a player that plays 1 game every week could be forever inactive on blizzard system.

Edit6: Blizzard actually has a good reason for sorting it by activity instead of points this week. The promotion reset means points will mean little for some time, so sorting by it would be weird. Ok, sorting by activity is also weird...

Edit7: If it was sorted by points, then master league offset would be very obvious. Unfortunetelly, all I can say is that master offset is probably between 120 and 190 points from a S Rank Diamond point of view.

The only info I have so far is that a different formula was used to calculate this week's Top 200 to compensate for the point reset that occurred when everyone went into Master league. That probably had an adverse effect on Diamond as well. That doesn't really make it any easier to figure out the new formula but this may turn out to just be an anomalous week. Maybe they'll go back to the old formula in future weeks, after points have stabilized a bit. I've reached out to the community team to see if they can provide an explanation.

Okay I got the real info. This week's Top 200 was actually erroneously being ranked by spent bonus pool. It's since been updated as of an hour ago. I'll start a new parse right now.

Supposedly the calculation had something to do with monitoring the bonus pool as well, so I decided to list the possible remaining bonus pool for players where anomalies existed. Some Diamond players also appeared in the Top 200 this week, and I noted that where applicable as well. I still can't find any correlation between these points and the bonus pool, even knowing that one exists.

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 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.

Yea, this week's top 200 is a clusterfuck. No idea where all these new players came from or why they're ranked the way they are.
I always try to shield slam face, just to make sure it doesnt work

Well, there was no bronze or gold players there, that mainly proves that they first elect the top X MMR (X > 200), and just then sort by something, like points. Cool.


Edit2: Scrap edit1.

Edit3: I think I am close to confirm that the master "advantage" from a S Diamond point of view is 126!! It might be impossible to prove 126 as the exact number today, but it is indeed somethign between 120-180

Edit4: Though it's obvious that players with more bonus points are higher than they should be by points alone, the correlation is not perfect, and this week fixed top 200 could actually be top 200 MMR (without the inactive players), or it use some internal numbers that could be MMR or not to make the math. That said, I think it's impossible for us to guess the formula this time.

I did a 1/4 parse on LA Top 200:

https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AoPq9zdgd7owdEo4UkNpRm9PdHVLMUVVNkxSQWhzWkE&hl=en#gid=0

Nothing is clear to me, they are most likelly using internal number to do the math, so it's pointless to try to figure much out of this. Though it seems to correlate MMR this time! (maybe it's now sorted by MMR?)

The top diamond players are inactive since before patch, which explain they being that high on Top 200, they do have high MMR, just having played yet. So I'd bet it is sorted by MMR this time!

Edit:

"If S rank" is a normalization to keep diamond players within the S Rank divisions range.

I used the spot to try what if master are indeed +126 from S ranks, don't take it for granted.

Someone just got demoted from Master. Not sure of his points before he was demoted, but he now has 73 + spent bonus pool in Diamond and is in division Drone Whiskey. Drone Whiskey, fortunately enough, has a known offset of +63. It seems that there would be no way to know that if we didn't have the Top 200 and find that out previously.

I'm pretty sure your thinking here is wrong. Master League isn't part of the same contiguous ladder as Bronze --> Diamond, since points are completely reset when new players enter Master League. Not that there isn't correlation between Diamond points and Master points, but as far as I can see there is no "offset" between S Diamond and Master

The point reset applies to all leagues, not just Master. We have that confirmed, now. There is very likely an offset in terms of the global ladder, just like there probably is for every other league and the tiers within those other leagues. We just probably won't be able to discover what those offsets are until they return to the old Top 200 calculation method, and possibly never for the NA server because Master is too large. Master is very likely part of the contiguous ladder (if we can prove its existence).

Is it just me or is the search feature on sc2ranks completely broken. I have tried for several days now and it always just says player not found when i use search or profile finder. I obviously spelled the names correctly and i used to do it without any problems. Is the search feature down for you guys?
I am order. I am logic. I know exactly who I am.

I had like 0 bonus pool when that ranking was made and I was way below the spot they put me at.

I think blizzard just places me highly because they know I am awesome. How nice of them!

Confirmed no division tiers exist for Master league. This week's list mirrors SC2Ranks perfectly so I won't go through parsing it.

Ok Top 200 LA is up, let's see...

Also by points and lots of diamond players!

http://us.battle.net/sc2/pt/blog/2058998#blog

I'll edit here if I finally find or disprove master offset/advantage.

Edit:

We do have a tie between a diamond and a master!!!

Vicarious E Diamond 2486 points

Boxer Master 2003 points

483 points difference!

S -> Master = 168

Let's see if that's an stable number. If my math is wrong please correct me XD

Edit2: Another tie:

Siloganjeiro -> Master -> 2234 points
IpMan -> E Diamond -> 2699 points

465 points difference!

S-> Master = 150

That means that there isn't a league offset from one another. Our dream is over!!!

Edit3: Another tie:

Elivolts -> Master -> 2464 points
Death -> A Diamond -> 2677 points

213 points difference!

S -> Master = 150

Hm, at least it isn't that unstable!
