Ya he won a couple today after gm went live. Its just odd to me since we have been identical in rating for the last 9 months almost. You would think our MMR is similar.. maybe I just peaked at the right time | ||

I guess we'd need to know how many games he played and win% and his opponents and on and on and on | ||

As it is, you're much better off getting into GM with 30 games played than 300. I'm biased because I'm GM with only 25 games, but just because you have 300 games doesn't mean you should be ranked above someone who has 30 games but is better than you. People had thousands of games in iCCup, does that mean they deserve to be A+ for effort? The 300 games should just be treated by the player as something that is helping them improve ![]() | ||

This probably only affects a handful of people, but I can understand his point | ||

Basically this is to showcase the top 200 players on the server but the activity requirement is there to keep the league from stagnating. If it were just the top 200 then the bottom ~70-80ish slots would probably be fluctuating constantly. Yeah, that's true. However I'm somewhat dissatisfied with it because if players aren't laddering like beasts now, they won't be able to make it into grandmaster ![]() | ||
