It would probably be better if it was some bayesian estimate or the K value would be lower so it would take longer to reach high ranks. A player like combatex is probably ranked highly because he played few ranked games and did quite well in the most recent ones. Of course this is just conjecture since I didn't go through the data but the foreigner list just feels off | ||

No he's there because he placed top 8 at WCG. This system can't magically tell your play unless it has tournament results to back it up. | ||

I can't even fathom what type of alghoritm is used here, how is Grubby not above them considering his recent IEM win, and same for BabyK @ wcs, this whole topic just seems like a giant flamebait :S | ||

Yup we like our rankings to be an accurate representation of a player's skill, and somewhat realistic. This "ranking" just further proves that statistics are completely overrated. | ||

The fact that MC was #2 in a recent GSL and #3 at OSL should put him in the top 25 players despite his otherwise slumping results. Conversely, the recent top 10 performances by CombatEX at a few tournaments s not really that impressive. The ranking does not weight any games, as there's no automatic (and sensible) way to do so. | ||

Do You Weigh Games Differently? No, I don't. Korean tournaments and players receive no special treatment. The GSL is difficult because good players play there; the players aren't good because they play in the GSL. The more data we have describing a player, the more we can expect them to play at their given rating. Since both CombatEx and MacSeed aren't that well documented, it still "surprises" the model when they perform well, meaning that the model will think they are better than they are. When we receive more and more information about players, we will have a more accurate representation of a players true skill level on a pretty current level. Winning tournaments does NOT give you a higher rating, beating higher ranked players does. (Which you usually do to win a tournament, but it takes wins, not "overall wins") | ||

So please define the sufficient amount of games played before we can rank a player? What about the already ranked player the unranked player played, how would he have points assigned? | ||

(so EU vs EU matches are fine, but EU vs NA matches would have this flag, etc) Would require an entire rework of the way results are currently added. Maybe it can be done when we "start" fresh with HoTS | ||
