kwark plays bad players, octzerg turns games into a coin flip. theyre both getting unearned wins. just different ways to go about it. if anything kwark's way deserves more respect because he at least still has to outplay the bad players.

Mh, i'm sorry to say that all this dodging and lower rank playing is kinda ruining the ladder for me. I was hoping a lot of foreigners would be able to achieve A-, but the manly way. Frankly in the top 20 i see a lot of players who seem to be just way higher than their "real" Iccup rank. When you look at the matchlist of some players it just seems that the ranks in this ladder have no real meaning. Though i do understand that it's not really possible to prevent this it takes away a lot of excitement for me.
I used to check the ladder standings a couple times a day but i've increasingly lost interest. I just hope all the deserving players make it in and all the dogders get their butts kicked in the qualifiers.

The problem is that this format doesn´t encourage gamers to challenge themselves, the best option is massgaming+dodging+lower rank playing.
Only a few players deserve the ranking that they have, thats true, but that isnt going to affect the results in the qualifiers at all, the really good players will still qualify and rape those kids. My respect to IdrA, Ret, White-ra and the rest of the players that are legit.
This is just a proof that points and ranks don´t represent skill. Idra and white-ra winning/meeting in the finals of every tournament, ret being picked by eStro, chill beating LBH (=P), thats skill.

Well right now the rankings are very different from what it will look like in the end. The last couple days will have a fuckload of games and many players will have no choice but to play one another in an attempt to get points with the deadline coming up.

I fail to see how you losing to lings repeatedly is a coin flip. I guess that when Effort smashed you with a 5 pool @ Blizzcon it was a coin flip too. Honestly, stop being an asshole, play safer, since you're sooOoOoo much fucking better than these foreigners, they just do "stupid shit" that you still manage to lose to over and over. Seriously, make 6 fucking bunkers and you should still win since you're so much better.

Don't give me some bullshit about me trolling you because it's me and you, it has nothing to do with that. The only shit you post on TL are arrogant strat forum posts where you give accurate information but in a dickish way and posts where you call foreigners stupid or make some idiotic snide comment about them doing stupid shit or winning by luck or what the fuck ever new bullshit excuse you have made up to rationalize you losing.

Really need a rule that says you can't play people 2 ranks below your current rank.

Would be very sad if the end of this ladder was pestered with several people playing D ranks to get top 48.

that would be a stupid rule. People who play just D rank will not be able to get into the top 48.=p
