What it really means is: Don't compare cross regions, and you should be mostly fine.

Which is why there used to be a TLPD for Korea and a TLPD for, well, not Korea. These days, however, it's not so simple to neatly separate the regions, since most everyone (apart from the low tier Kespa players) plays in a region that's not his own pretty often, compared to how it used to be in BW.

And now with WCS, separating the regions is even worse, since the only option would be to count various Koreans as North American, or European. It'd be just weird.

Yup
We support all those functions and people are very welcome to do these kinds of lists using our site. We just post a simple one but I might consider doing weekly write-ups on some of these kind of statistics as well if people want it

No it's not worthless. It's the appliciants fault if he does not understand how to properly use a tool. Also obviously scouting has not much to do with a rating. See MKPs dominance.

Or maybe I don't give a shit if someone is a progamer.

Just because you are a pro does not mean you should reply to a thread without bothering to read the OP.

lol what "proper use"? proper use is to produce useless numbers?

they show something, but the method to calculate the points is not perfect (not technically, it's probably very well written, but the idea itself), hence we have a flawed list where forgg is on top. there is no proper use of this webpage to produce a better list.

and btw MKP never dominated as much, and it was inevitable that he falls with such an obvious flaw

comparing regions/match up/players head to head... all things aligulac does well.
And btw if you think that MKP's fall has anything to do with its scouting, you're just blatlantly showing your ignorance of the game.
Zest fanboy.

Aligulac gives predictions as well, just like ELO (even if you don't know about that). Those predictions are surprisingly accurate, as long as you do not compare cross regions. There's probably no easy answer to the ForGG problem, other than "subjective" analysis.

Edit: In fact, ELO suffers from a similar, but different, problem. Comparing across time period is useless due to grading inflation.

The formula behind the rating is optimized with regard to predictions, to predict as many results correctly as possible

Forgg being that high actually shows how bad the alligulac rating system is for sc2. also they need higher K-factor since sc2 is a game that evolves quickly. It shouldnt take 200 games and 1 year for a good player to reach the top

The funny thing is, Polt has exactly the same problem that ForGG has: Both are beating up lots of foreign scrubs in smaller, non-Korean tournaments, and thus inflating their ranking. Of course, nobody's going to complain about Polt being ranked too highly.
