Edit: I guess this belongs in the OP. FAQ.
So last night the April 17 rating list was finalized (link), and for the first time since May 2012, Zerg is not leading.
History: http://aligulac.com/periods/
Actually with Terran at +5% and Protoss at −9% we see that Zerg must be at +4%, so it's by a hair.
Here's the current top 10:
 Life 1921
-
 Polt 1837
- Bomber 1818
- ForGG 1816
-
 PartinG 1798
- HyuN 1768
- YoDa 1751
- viOLet 1738
- DongRaeGu 1736
- Leenock 1735
Life celebrates his seventh period in the number 1 spot, with a bigger rating gap than ever. Parting is still the only one in the top ten defending the Protoss pride. His closest compadres are Yonghwa at 1681 and Rain at 1675.
But if Terran has taken over in the Korean world, among the foreigners, it's still all Zerg.
- LucifroN 1710
- Sen 1677
- VortiX 1669
- Stephano 1638
- Scarlett 1625
- Nerchio 1617
- Snute 1604
- Happy 1558
- Welmu 1555
- Bunny 1526
Special mention must go to Feast, who rakes in a massive 171 points these two weeks, coming off of the Francophone Championship, ATC and two WTC EU qualifiers.

I still don't know what those points mean, or how they are even calculated.
Somebody who can explain?
EDIT never mind, i read the math paper.

The answers were just a few clicks away.

Funny how the top 1 foreigner has less points than the lowest korean.
I don't understand the math model, but I don't try to understand it either 
Looks like it's reflecting skill? Can someone explain how it's calculated in plain english?

Can someone explain how it's calculated in plain english? it's a statistical analysis of past games. I think it correlates with skill, but it's not a one on one relation.
I don't have much knowledge of the system, but i think this at least should be true.

We have a FAQ for exactly these kinds of questions.
http://aligulac.com/faq/
There is an explanation in plain English as well as in unplain English. I can answer further if there are more specific questions.
In short, it's a rating system. Like Elo, but different.

It's not a bad rating system and the predictions are most of the times pretty accurate but it certainly has flaws when you see ForGG as the 4th best Korean right now.

Still, poor protoss. Tournament results are not looking good either.
|
fOrGG .. O_o
That's a pretty big score inflation from smacking down some fairly mediocre French players. (and I'm being generous here)
|
The math seems pretty solid behind it. For those people wondering why the top 10 is rather strange, the website is based on a dataset of thousands of replays. Unfortuantely pro's dont release their replays (except streamers such as ForGG) and are therefore not rated correctly

Not so much replays, just official matches I would think.

I like how I have no idea of the current skill level of some of the names of that list.
Like, Lucifron, Sen and forGG what? :D
Edit: And no Kespa players

Haha I was just about to post the exact same thing. This list is pretty surprising.
