Well some people seem to insist on the fact that he just beat DRG 2-0 in Code S Group A and therefore that he must be better ... that's like saying that Jjakji should be #1 and Taeja #2 because Jjakji 2-1'd Taeja. And your right that's not how Elo works. | ||

Since i can't see teamliquid having 12 players it doesn't sound very likely that the koreans will out number the rest. Would be more likely that 1 "foreigner" would be sacked and 1 more korean added so there would be a more equal number of both. | ||

You obviously don't know how Elo works. How do you judge the "strength" of a tournament? By the "strength" of the participating players. How do you judge the "strength" of a player? By his ELO. How do you calculate the point gain/loss? By the ELO difference of the players. It doesn't matter if a tournament is "stronger" or "weaker", if player A wins vs player B in tournament C, he deserves the same amount of points as if the match was in tournament D. Apart from nerve issues and external factors, players don't play better or worse in different tournaments. Yes, some foreigners have inflated ELO because they rarely ever play against Koreans, but the effect is limited because they play and probably lose against other players that HAVE played against Koreans, so the effect is mitigated and over the long term it won't really matter. ELO is a model, not a perfect representation of reality. Without every player constantly playing against every other player, it's impossible to create a 100% accurate description of reality.

And your right that's not how Elo works. TaeJa has played 4 games against Jjakji in the ESV grand prix, so it's 5:2 now in favour of TaeJa, which is ok in the model of ELO as it just describes probability to win. A player with higher ELO has a better chance to win against someone with lower ELO, it doesn't mean he will win every game. That TaeJa won against DRG just means that he is capable of it, not that he is "better" than DRG. Without a higher amount of games, there is no clear indication either way. | ||

What I meant by : "Code S "strength" >>> ESV "strength" " is that the average Elo of a player in Code S is a lot higher than the average Elo of the ESV players. | ||

EG has supported a ton of NA players (Machine, incontrol, idra, was supporting Axslav, LZgamer, etc.) and Liquid has supported European players like Jinro, TLO, etc, both of them have invested into talent, but the Koreans are just better buys. They're better players, period. They deserve the spots on EG and TL more than NA/EU players; they practice more, are better, have more drive, etc. | ||

Don't forget that it might also be interesting to look at the peaks of the players. This really shows who was constant and who maybe got lucky. | ||
