In a perfect system beforehand you say the minimum amount of games required to qualify and then go by best record. These are their rules though so Coca won. | ||

10-2 should be seen as +8 wins and 11-4 as +7. Total amount of wins is a useless statistic in a league where not everyone plays the same amount. (For whoever said 7-1 should be better than 11-4 I don't think you can defend that with logic and uphold a normal ranking. By most reasoning you would end up with 2-0 beating both those scores.) | ||

You can rank them as by the spread (wins - losses). 11-4 = 7 but 10-2 = 8. So Symbol has the better spread. But CoCa has more wins. It's just a question of which ranking to use. Personally, I too ranking by spread because under the current system, 11-10 is better than 10-0, I believe. In my opinion, that should not be the case. | ||

The "lose and you're out" format guarantees there won't be players at the top end of the win spectrum with equal amounts of losses. I don't have a problem with the player who gets the most wins for his team receiving the top prize. | ||

Agreed. Really, it's pretty clear Symbol had the best season based on the statistics. I would place CoCa second because with the same +/-, you want the player who has played more games (even though it means lower win %). Yes that means the "Extra" games are played at 50/50 but it's tougher to do well with a higher number of games played. | ||

I'd disagree. It's not a misusage of statistics, it's just statistics used for a different purpose than you would have used it for. They wanted to know who won the most games, which is clearly CoCa. The questions wasn't who was the MVP or who had the best record, in which case net wins or even win percentage might be a more relevant. The fact of the matter is that CoCa contributed the most wins to his team of any player, and that's why he gets the interview. You get the same award in all sports: Most goals scored, most medals won, etc. None of these awards take the number of games played into consideration, they simply look at who did the most. So yeah, I think this is perfectly valid. Whether it says anything about who was the best player of the season is a different question. | ||

If you put it that way then the title is pretty misleading - I wouldn't say CoCa is #1 in the GSTL at all... Likewise, in the NBA, mid-season, people typically rank teams based on either W/L % or highest differential, not based on who has the most wins at any one point in time. | ||

1. Coca had a total of 7 CWs to score 11 wins. 2. Symbol had a total of 5 CWs to score 10 wins. 3. Life had a total of 3 CWs to score 9 wins. 4. Gumiho had a total of 5 CWs to score 9 wins. 5. Puzzle had a total of 7 CWs to score 9 wins. The large difference in amounts of played CWs makes it really hard to make a fair choice. Symbol made the greatest difference with +8. Sniper scored the best win/loss ratio (excluding players with less than 5 wins) of 87.5%. Life scored the most wins/CW averaging a stunning 3 wins per CW. Which of these is most legitimate is up to GSL, personally I'd prefer a win/loss difference giving the award to Symbol or perhaps a weighed decision by a panel of people (eg. all GSL-team coaches and similar). | ||
