Formerly known as Puckelrygg, MeatyOwlLegs has reached 4000 points on the EU ladder. It seems pretty much is confirmed that is is Naniwa. Our bm superhero Congrats on bringing the newest 1k ladder increment achievement to the EU servers!

His division has a division offset of +315
He is however at the top of EU Masters League

SC2 Ladder Analysis: Division Tiers

FAQ
Q: Why is it this way?
A: The answer is twofold. Blizzard's intent is for players to focus on their assigned division. To that end, divisions cover a relatively narrow range of skill. The objective is that players who are both active and skilled will reach the top of their division.

The tier to which you are assigned contains a rating offset in order to normalize ratings. If tiers didn't exist, it would be immediately evident that certain divisions are worse than others. While a top player's division may have many players around 2000 rating, a weaker player's division may have their average closer to 1500. However, after normalization, it may turn out that the weaker player's division has an average closer to 1815, which is much more competitive. This creates incentive for the lower-tier players to continue playing because the gap appears to be more manageable.

hopefully blizzard takes a hard look at this and kills the bonus pool as a result.

He hasn't confirmed to be Naniwa yet right? If so, its still uncertain who he actually is (I think he's bat/superman).

MeatyOwlLegs... it's not often I come across a name that instantly strikes me as being totally baller

but yea hes abusing the bonus pool shit... i was watching drewbie's stream where he was playing on his smurf... basically he always played favored ppl and gained 40-50 points per win and lost 0-1 points when he lost. It is quite silly that accounts like these receive no penalty for losing

That is because of his winloss ratio and the extremely low amount of games played, it has nothing to do with bonus pool.

and being in rather new division which is on a lower tier (his points are worth less than those of other divisions). He is still #1 in masters league by quite some margin though: http://sc2ranks.com/masters/eu

Yes, the 500+ APM confirms that it's SjoW and not Nani as Sjow is well known for his high APM.

Actually, I was watching TLO's stream yesterday and he hit MeatyOwlLegs on the ladder...

MeatyOwlLegs had a really weird build order too..it was interesting to watch (he won).

His 4k as nothing to do with bonus pool abuse but all about smurfing on a new account went other top player are all at really high ELO/MMR ranking.

It means that as he started at a low ELO every games he will win he would gain the maximum of point until he feels the gap to rearn his true MMR ranking. Every other top player will do the same result on a smurf.

That shows imo that's there is a lot of difference between the MMR/ELO ranking of a top player and a fresh new dilaond promoted player

That is because of his winloss ratio and the extremely low amount of games played, it has nothing to do with bonus pool.

It is about the bonus pool as the most points you can ever receive without the bonus pool is 25. So to get 40-50 a match he has to be burning through a huge bonus pool. The account was started only 2 months ago so he would have had a starting pool of well over 1000. Given that he didn't play much the first month or so it would proably be close to 1300. Without the bonus pool he could not have achieved his score with his record, not even close.

That's not to say he doesn't have an insane amount of talent. Just that the bonus pool skews things heavily in favor of smurfs.

Are you just trolling here?

Extremely low amount of games played = a lot of points without bonus pool?
