LOL! at Terrancraft

Per your list:
2 Zerg
3 Protoss
19 Terran

Congrats to Marine King.. he's definitely a solid player. He must have learned how to use a second unit in order to get to top spot though!


How did you get 19 terrans?


24 - 3 - 2 = 19

Just noticed a random on the list though

So disregard my post.. game is balanced

This league pits each region’s top StarCraft II players against one another to determine who belongs at the top of the ladder

-_-

@jiabung Your right, I was just going to write about how they worded it, it's never crystal clear is it :/

@Sein Hm, but ICCUP had like players from all over the world, mostly Koreans dominating thou...


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

yea, 18 terran in top 24 but none of them going into final in the GSL. Points in ladder just mean you grind alot. It's awesome, but still doesn't indicate anything. It might just mean that 18 terran are workign way harder than other to be up there. Anyway, sick score!!! 1600 o-o

Yep. 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.

also the US servers tend to be a hell of alot more random in terms of strategies encountered, and sometimes you just lose to stuff you've never seen and never will again because you scouting him going one thing and it was actually something completely different.

White-ra was super close to that, too bad the new (bugged?) match making system absolutely crushed his chances.

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.

18 terrans in top 24 :O


2 Zergs, 1 Random and only 4 Toss as well, Honestly not surprising, it's the easiest race to play and every game feel you "Deserved" your win or loss, so their ladder sessions can be surprisingly longer. Just my Zerg Tears opinion

O.O I don't understand how it's physically possible to play enough games to get that high on three separate accounts. 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.

I'm pretty sure you're right.

This means MKP pretty much holds the top3 at the moment..


I'm pretty sure MarineKingPrime doesn't plays protoss.


It's a shared account in Prime house. 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.

Bonus pool allows it. That and aggressive laddering with an equally aggressive style like MKPs

apart from experience no, no basis at all. but people do random stuff in the US server. it's alot less standardized than Euro or Korea or SEA. 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.

Why do people keep on saying that bonus pool had anything to do with anything. 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).

Perhaps several top players in the US does what Tyler does.
