After seeing this type of data it's unclear to how they generated this list.

They're in the same division yet the person with 200 less points is ranked 2nd on the list. How do we begin to understand something like this?


It's because everyone was reset to the same number when they were promoted to masters (and by the way is a presage of what is to come with the ladder reset.)

Before master's, everyone had played enough games that their MMR was similar to their points (accounting for division offsets). But now someone could have a very high MMR but not have played enough games to get their actual points to their MMR yet. Evidence for this would be if they are still gaining 20+ points per win and only losing 2-5 per loss. As they come closer to their MMR the wins/losses per game will converge closer to 12.

And right now it's impossible to look at total games played, because we don't know how many of those games were before they were promoted to masters and how many were after.

Edit: just looked at TQState and it looks like mostly he's getting normal points, so IDK maybe I'm wrong.



If you have the same client as that player you can look up their profile and look through their match history and manually count their games after the patch.

no, they have clearly screwed up on this list they generated somehow.

Looking more at this list, REQRookie is 12th on the North American servers according to Blizzard.

But he's 15th in his own division and around 250th in total number of points. He also has a win percentage of under 52%. He has 3 bonus pool. His MMR seems to have returned to pre-patch status as he is winning and losing between 10 and 15 points in almost all of his ladder games.

edit: Not that his MMR has changed, but that his points have caught up to his MMR.

Rookie's always been a good player. A while ago, he went on tilt and threw a lot of games. His stats are going to be misleading.

Don't get me wrong. Rookie is very good and I watch him on iCCup TV sometimes.

But seeing him as #12 on NA when he is lower in his own division than he is on the entire server seems like the most major outlier I could find by skimming over this list.

I'm not trying to point out that he is a bad player or shouldn't be anywhere on the list. I'm simply trying to find out how this list is being calculated. I am baffled.

I got into Masters League with approximately 30 games. 24-6. I can't be top 200 of anything with that amount of games played.

I did beat 3 Master League players in a row though(I believe) It's obviously basing it off your hidden MMR, not actual points. I was in Platinum League, I won a single game --> Diamond. Played another right after, won it, straight into Master League.

Yeah, I have absolutely no idea how this list was generated. I'm really hoping the guys at Sc2ranks can break this one down for us.

Actually we do need to panic because this makes no sense. I already bumped the division tiers thread and updated its OP. We were assured of several things when the Master league was still in development:

- The Master league would not contain separate levels for each division
- The Top 200 is based on points alone without division influences

Now here's what we know about this week's Top 200:

- Inactivity cannot possibly be a factor because 1.2 only came out a week ago
- There are no Diamonds in the NA parse
- There are many many instances of people even in the same division who are not ranked in point order

i really can't think of any explanations other than

-blizzard fucked up big time generating the list
-we're seeing players ranked by mmr and blizzard's mmr system really, really sucks

what else could be even remotely possible? inactivity is absolutely not part of the equation considering some extremely good players who have been very active that are very low (select, others). divisions or points can't be part of the equation because of some players in the same division being ranked counter to their order in the division. win ratio can't be part of the equation (again, select and many others). what's left? what could it possibly be other than mmr? it seems like even if it was a calculation involving a lot of variables, players like select which seem to be at/near the top of every single possible variable could not possibly be as low as they are.

i thought while writing this that somehow people who had reached their "points equilibrium" after being promoted were benefitting somehow and that might explain part of it? because if you look at select's match history, he's still gaining an assload for each win and losing almost nothing, so he clearly hasn't.. but immediately below him on the top 200 is katari who also has a pretty sick ratio, lots of points, lots of games and it seems he has hit that equilibrium.. so what the fuck is going on? what am i missing?

Do Master league players play only master leagues or is like every other league?

Actually we do need to panic because this makes no sense. I already bumped the division tiers thread and updated its OP. We were assured of several things when the Master league was still in development:

- The Master league would not contain separate levels for each division
- The Top 200 is based on points alone without division influences

Now here's what we know about this week's Top 200:

- Inactivity cannot possibly be a factor because 1.2 only came out a week ago
- There are no Diamonds in the NA parse
- There are many many instances of people even in the same division who are not ranked in point order

Don't you think it's mainly because master league is so young that some people already get to catch their average point level by playing a lot while some others are still way far from their actual MMR ?
I think the ladder is (for the moment) very shaky and random, it needs something like a month or two to get back to normal
The stats that Top 200 give are misleading since it give the overall game played and not the game played since they are in master league. Someone with 2914 pts with 300/200 and 20/20 since promotion is obviously behind someone with 2700 and 1000-990 but 10/0 since promotion.

Well i'm pretty sure the top 200 formula care about MMR, if not it's a big fail.

No they don't read my post. Reposting this cause I just debunked the whole thing incidentally. Excal what do you think about it?

"I got into Masters League with approximately 30 games. 24-6. I can't be top 200 of anything with that amount of games played.

I did beat 3 Master League players in a row though(I believe) It's obviously basing it off your hidden MMR, not actual points. I was in Platinum League, I won a single game --> Diamond. Played another right after, won it, straight into Master League."

Not MMR. I give you an exemple

Someone (say Y) go to master with say 250-200 and 3200 pts (and a lot of game so his MMR is stable and around 3200), drop to 2300 pts.
X on the other hand, has 990-990 and 3200 pts, and drop to the same 2300 pts.

Well Y play 100 game in his new master league and go from his 250-200 to 300-250 (50% win ratio) and get back to 3000 pts (it's pure theory, don't try to math me to death since i'm not saying it's possible) but since he lost and won, his MMR should not have changed a lot since promotion.
Our dear friend X on the other hand only played 40 game but won 35 and only lost 5. He climb up from his 2300 to 2900, he is still behind Y in point, but obviously his MMR climbed up a lot with his absolute 35 victory and 5 defeat since promotion.

So in top 200, Y(with 300-250 and 3000 pts) is behind X (who has 1025-995 and 2900).
