Well if Bear moved to SEA he'd have a steady positive winrate too, it's all about the caliber of opponents. | ||

They just stayed at the level they were at through their LoL periods and I feel like that shouldn't really happen :< | ||

They are way higher than they are because unlike Chess ELO, beating up on 1500 scrubs can get you up to 3k if you dodge every decent player in existance. It's like if we get a Chess GM and throw him in a random Chess Club in the middle of nowhere where the top player is 2k rated. He will never even come close to getting above 2400 even if he has a 100% win record until he faces other Grandmasters, but in this system ForGG will be 3000 and best on the planet despite never facing a decent player in his whole life. I'm still curious why you don't just switch over to Chess ELO completely but adjust the amount of games for a stable rating and adjust for point decay. Wouldn't that just solve every single one of these ridiculous problems? It would also make it so Kespa players don't have to play 30 games against other top Koreans just to get ahead of ForGG <_< | ||

While I do understand you are just trying to make a point. No player has reached 2k under the current rating system. | ||

No one has reached 2k under the current system because there are massively more games played under Chess ELO and 100 years worth of Inflation, it was an example. Typical Chess GM is 2400+ ELO atm and due to inflation there are many more today than there were 60 years ago. | ||

As just an example, here's how Anand (first player to pop into my head) has been doing http://ratings.fide.com/id.phtml?event=5000017 Since February, Anand has played 29 games that count toward his ELO. What is the net change over that time? Three points (I think, I'm not sure how I should interpret the graph). Now see ForGG's rating history http://aligulac.com/players/34-ForGG/period/83/. Over a mere 13 days and 19 games, his rating has changed fifty-five points! That is a huge difference. Now, I am NOT trying to solve any problems here. I know that Kespa's ratings are changing with the same parameters as ForGG's, and I also am aware that ForGG has been playing SC2 for months whereas Anand has been playing chess for literally decades. But I am just saying that this high ratings change might be one source of shock to people who see Aligulac. | ||

People also seem to want every "flavor of the month" player to be in top 3. How does one do both?  | ||

or maybe one could think even if there is an explanation for it, that the rating is worthless if such a thing happens funny how dorks jump on the opportunity to be an ass with a progamer just because they can | ||

People need to realize that no rating system, which isn't being tampered with, can put him #1 so fast without giving up on the prediction power. Then factor in all the Kespa players we know close to nothing about and we have the issue. Honestly, as soon as a few players beat ForGG in TvT, it should stabilize. | ||

Definitely true, but what if, as Figgy pointed out, ForGG simply stays in his region and beats up on Europeans that aren't as good as he is? Aligulac continues to predict 2-1s for many of his matches, and as long as he can 2-0 them, his rating will rise to impossible heights. We should start a campaign to fund ForGG's travels to more Korean tournaments | ||
