To me that the decay system will not hurt first or second place players, it seems unfair for everyone beyond 10th place where every point matters. Pros: - Provides relevant tournament results. Can't just win 1 tournament and nothing else. i.e. Jjakji - Consistency is proven over time. 1 strong placing shouldn't mean you keep the points forever else you risk having "undeserving" players. - Decay is extremely minor as 1 point per day is nothing in comparison to how often tournaments run Cons: - Extremely unforgiving to people who can't travel to events often Believe it or not, there are several cases of players who place respectably in the top 16-32 all the time and have a strong ranking because of it. Grubby comes to mind here. | ||

Interesting piece of Trivia: Nerchio was one of our invites, but he declined participation in the league, allowing us to invite someone lower than him on our international ranking. Aww Nerchio  | ||

GSL happens much more frequently than these other events, and as such is actually valued more. edit: weighted is probably the wrong word to use there, but because GSL happens just about once per month, the guys doing well there will end up with more points. | ||

DRG played Jangbi like yesterday in OSL but we havent seen MMA very much at all and since DRG is practicing up for OSL and GSL and couldnt go to any MLGs this season I understand what you mean and I agree. | ||
