You're not reading it right. It says the top players in their respective regions, not cross-region play. | ||

Top US players either don't ladder as much (and play customs) or play on other servers. This is why there are no US players in the top of the world standings. | ||

Just look at his match history lol, 11wins 1 point wins (his 2point wins were bonus pool lol), and everytime he lost he lost like 20 points The other day on his stream he was getting +0 (thats actually what it said) for a win. | ||

Might be more protoss games played on the account and less Terran games. It's also possible that MKP plays protoss to learn how to counter it. He was a protoss player in BW. | ||

Uhh... no. What are you trying to say, that everyone does more coin flip builds and the skill gap is extremely small at the top? You have no basis at all for what you're suggesting. | ||

Especially since I see IdrA and Tyler and other people getting +2 and +0 points for some wins, and losing 20 points for a single loss. Bonus pool allows it. That and aggressive laddering with an equally aggressive style like MKPs | ||

ALOT less. the only people who play super standardized are the teamed players. | ||

Maybe that's true overall, but it's not true at the top of the ladder, and it definitely doesn't explain why top NA ladderers have lower points than the rest of the world. | ||

Every single guy on this list has received the same amount on bonus pool points. The only thing bonus pool does is fucking up rank comparisons over time and that is it. It doe not reward mass gaming (regarding how much even the laziest pro plays). | ||
