One of the things I actually realized yesterday is that along with all the Islands of the foreign scene, that being European and American and Chinese, proleague may be in fact an Island? People in proleague play each other disproportionally more than people outside of proleague It could be that being good in proleague might very inflate ratings a bit since the average level of proleague is certainly lower than the average level of say WCS KR.
Thoughts?

MC number is the best feature I've ever seen.

Yup. Is it possible to filter input so it would only compute ratings based in something like "games played versus koreans"? Preferably live events only.
Koreans x foreigner (take San rising) or cross continent games (Lucifron) messes thing up when making a unified ranking. Oh well.

Unlikely, I'm pretty sure the rating is stored in the database itself at the row of every player. For the system to actually compute the rating at every page request would be an insurmountable load going through the entire history.

Bummer. Current form works well when comparing players that are almost entirely contained in the same "island", but outlying cases look like a mess (take the flash x lucifron prediction example). Still useful overall.
Maybe if they sorted different databases by "islands" it would help, but this seems arbitrary and a ton of work for a voluntary project, so no reason to complain..

You can actually modify the algorithm to recognise extra-islandic encounters. As in, give more weight to matches between players that rarely play each other and also rarely play against other players that play those players to speed up the transfer of points between different islands.
Like, because Flash and Lucifron rarely meet and because they also play mostly against players who rarely meet each other. You can put more weight on a match between Flash and Lucifron to better accurately normalize the Islands. In this case Lucifron will lose more points losing from Flash than he normally would and that disparency in points is then again spread to his own island.
