Step up and test your progaming knowledge! A lot of things in TLPD have been changing, so I thought I'd show off some of the interesting facts that are encapsulated in it without just making a general boring post. The questions add up to a 105* pt value if you want to see how you did % wise, and I tried to order them from easiest to hardest (not in exact order, just in general). Good luck!

#1) Which race has the most representatives in TLPD? (5 pts)

BoxeR for becoming the 7th member of the 2300 club not too long ago!

[image loading]

The four bonjwas are fittingly all members of the 2300 club now! This isn't something I was consciously working towards when adding games, but I'm pleasantly surprised BoxeR is in the ranks of the ELO elite.

37%. ^_^

It's interesting to see that newer player's ELO peaks are affected by old games.
So has anyone gotten better than a 16 winstreak?

I got all the questions wrong lol, but at least I could answer like half of the multiple answer questions I guess..... T_T

Oh well, I didn't start following the pro scene until the beginning of this year.

I don't think so. At least none of the usual suspects (Bisu, Flash, oov, JD, etc) have streaks that high. Most of them max out at about 12/13 games.

Why are Boxer and Nada's Elo peaks higher than they used to be? Were some missing old games added?

Anyway, some interesting trivia there.

I count Boxer and Gorush at 16 each.
Maybe it's another one of those walls, like 10 consecutive TvT wins.

There were a lot of old tournaments that weren't in TLPD before (iTV leagues 1-6, Game-Q Starleagues 1-3, 2001 WCG, etc.). There's still more to be added, so the peaks may change even more, but for now that's why they're > 2300 all of the sudden.
