Personally I still consider Sjow vs Life one of the biggest upsets ever, considering it was DH offline main stage match in the ro8. Life was probably hungover or something, but still :D. | ||

That was an 825 rating point gap which is a ton for 2013. We'll see where it ends up once I figure out how to weigh different epochs properly. | ||

Some classic upset that i've watched was sjow vs life It’s a long time ago, I might be remembering it wrongly, so I’m open to correction. For me what made that such a staggering upset was the games were relatively standard and Sjow didn’t just cheese our Life with a couple of weird builds. Also at a LAN event too! | ||

That means the MMR gap with Reynor is closer to ~1300 than 2000, which while still huge, does it make it the biggest upset in history. I mean Aligulac can only go off tournament results, to some degree. Alas not all tournaments are equal and there’s pretty big differences in regions and how often the best from each play. I mean they don’t have a huge amount of games logged but it’s not nothing either. And they haven’t done amazingly well. Who are the similar players you’re cross-referencing with their MMR here? 5800 isn’t anything to scoff at on Kr by any means, but I mean you can’t extrapolate that into tournament play, it’s a different environment. It says they’re comparable to other players in that range playing a lot of games vs a rotating wheel of opponents, but playing series against known opponents is a different kettle of fish. Intuitively though, as much as I did love the OP’s research I guess I think the ‘biggest’ upset has to have real stakes on it too. Cool thread though and some fun old memories appeared too! | ||
