Hey all

Just wandering if anyone of you know what the world rank means in your profile on SC2 ranks.

Pretty sure I wasn't ranked 150 in the world when I was in gold league. And now I'm in plat, it says I'm 800'ish.

Doesn't make sense!!
Are you calling moi a dipshit?

it's out of your league. there are 800 people with more points than you, iirc

Edit: In platinum.

For example, if you're #150 Gold, there are 149 ppl higher than you in Gold. THen when you get promoted, you lose a lot of points, and now there's 800 ppl w/ more points than you in plat.

It is just your World rank in that league. So it means you are ranked 800 of all Platinum players. Not of all players in every league.

It is your rank relative to others within your division. So you have more points than all but 800 or so of the platinum league players.

Is this adjusted for division tiers. Or are there only tiers in diamond?

Yeah I was really surprised to see that I was #300 in the world in platinum at one point. Kind of fun. Distracts from the fact that there are like 100,000 people better overall.

There are definitely tiers in other leagues, but I don't think they are calculable, that is no one has figured them out yet.
If all you're offering is Dos Equis, I will stay thirsty thank you very much.

It's not adjusted for division tiers, so best to take it with a grain of salt (in Diamond especially, where there are 7 tiers).

I pretty sure there are tiers in all leagues, but on in Diamond does it really show because of the large discrepancy between a low diamond player and a high diamond - master player. Although I do not know if that effects your points directly or if the tier system is kind of a meta-system where 800 points in one group IS equal to 800 points in another group BUT if one guy got 800 points in a division of casual nobodies versus a guy who got 800 points versus all pros...then there is a difference.

There is a thread about the whole point system, I didn't follow it very closely though so I am sure I have some errors here and there in my understanding.

Wait what? Tiers?

Where do tiers come into play, when MMR determines who you play against?

Each tier just grants you a set amount of free points to compensate for the lower level of skill of that division.

Um, I just checked my profile, and it seems there's a World Rank and Region rank that's related to your achievement points, there's also a World: and a Region: related to ladder.

Are you sure you're talking about the right one?

Hey guys, I looked at my division's world rank column and saw something really weird.
I'm #2 in my 3v3v division in plat, and according to sc2ranks I'm world ranked at #2014. That's all well and good, but the dude at #1, who is only 2 points ahead of me, is world ranked at #540. Not only that, but the guy at #3 is world ranked at #607. Furthermore, there are many places in the division where a person's world ranks is inconsistant with his place in the division.
Can anyone make sense of this? I'm especially curious to hear Excalibur's take on the matter.

Why? Does it matter if you are '5,000,000 instead of 6,800,000?

Link your profile. Are you sure you're not looking at the wrong world rank, like the Achievement points rank?

No, no, I know the difference between the two.
Oddly enough, I just checked back and it seems to have sorted itself out, guess it has long update intervals.
Anyway, I'm really sorry for having wasted your time, and thanks for the response .
