The GSL ratings are superior because they are limited to games between top players. You fail to account for the quality of the games with your statistics 101 class project.

It takes a lot of work though. Your system is apparently less subjective and easier to construct, but you get what you pay for.


Please enlighten us with you vast knowledge, because obviously you are some sort of mathematical genius who can quantify subjectivity in a meaningful and objective/useful way.
Also, please define top players.

If you want subjectivity, just read power ranks plz.


With "less subjective" he probably means taking less "non-data", e.g. weights for tournaments, which make matches in big tournaments count more than online cups.

By the way, why is CombatEx appearing on the list. Did he place well in some tournaments I am not aware of?


he got 4th in WCG i believe, im not sure how that makes him appear on that list.


He took a map off PartinG who is highly ranked, and since there is very few CombatEX games in the database, the model is not sure of his skilllevel placing him relatively high because he took a map off a top-player.

Doing that still makes the rankings more subjective and less objective.

I have a pet theory about this. It strikes me that many (most?) of the great players of each race are (or were for a while) considered almost untouchable in their mirror matchups.

Jaedong, Flash, NesTea, Mvp...

I don't know if I'm seeing shadows or not.

I do agree that it seems like the best mirror match players tend to be top dogs of their race in general. Even when a player like (P)BeSt was the best PvP player, he was one of the strongest all around too.

Seeing this list reinforces my question why people call (Z)Stephano the undisputed best foreigner. I guess I don't buy into the hype and am more impressed with other foreigners more.


He has been performing a lot worst lately , that's the only reason he isn't #1, he is #4 on the TLPD Elo as well.
