you can get great predictions with that. though sometimes you actually have to use your brain to compare some players.

If ForGG hit rank 1 would it do anything? Like what could actually happen?

If a guy that doesn't scout in more than 50% of the games gets even close to rank1 it means something is wrong with your ranking.

I feel like people should get banned or warned for saying the same thing about people rating too high etc again and again without reading more in the OP on how and why some of players are higher or lower than they should be.

I am not going to report every single person who doesn't read the OP. I want to, but I feel like I would lose my report button pretty fast, and I like it for when people spew crap in LR-threads about "X being IMBA".

To the rest: While I do love the discussion of the ForGG matter, rest assured that we are still considering what to do. Obviously we can't have that a Korean, who plays a lot of tournaments, both winning and losing, but mostly winning, is gaining more points than a player we get to see once or twice every month. Obviously

We are well aware that ForGG is overrated (see OP for proof). Anyone who plays mostly outside of Korea is overrated, as would be the case with any unbiased rating system. Still, we're a bit puzzled (and amused, I'll admit) at the reaction he gets. The guy has maintained a 70% winrate since he moved to France, 9 months ago. That's equal to, or even slightly better than Stephano had during similar time periods in 2012. There was no end to the hype then.

I've said it before, and I don't mind repeating, that I think people put too much weight on titles and prizes, and too little weight on steady positive winrates.

As for scouting, well if a player wins 70% of his games without even scouting, maybe he deserves a high rating.

It's just a joke about how ForGG's stats are heavily inflated by beating up Frenchies all the time therefore he's always high in the lists which prompts endless bitching all the time.

It could be fun to have some rivalry feature that display every match a player played against his nemesis/dominator (like DRG and MKP or so on)

It seems to me that your ranking is biased against Koreans who don't play outside of Korea as it follows a quantity over quality approach. Player A who travels to international events and beats a number of inferior opponents will get more points than Player B who plays a smaller number of games against the top tier of players and wins.

I imagine this problem is exacerbated by the top tier players Player B is beating likely also being low in the rankings due to not playing a bulk of games outside of KR. It's understandable but it does mean that you're going to have players widely recognised as top tier by the community not recognised in your rankings.

It seems to me that while you probably didn't read the spoiler I put in the OP, you are 100% correct. We all know that and are still thinking of a way to fix this.

While some of the rankings are a bit distorted (as many have mentioned), it's all based on a set formula, with very little subjective bias. For example, most people would agree that a player like Innovation is better than a player like ForGG, to adjust the rankings to reflect this would result in some subjectivity, which would weaken the objectivity of this ranking system.

Overall, it's a good system because it's quite objective, even if it results in certain distortions.
