Hi, this might already been answered, but I did a few searches but couldent find any good thread about it..

How many active sc2 ladder accounts are there? And how many of them are in Bronze, silver etc up to Masters?

Can I find this info somewhere?

If I recall, percentage wise it works like this.

20% bronze
20% silver
20% gold
20% platinum
18% Diamond
2% Masters
(Then however GM works lol)

Note: I may be wrong, but this is just what I was told about it way back in the day.

Well if checking out frontpage of sc2ranks, it says that there are over 1 000 000 EU accounts. But you have no idea how many of them that are inactive.

Checking out http://www.sc2ranks.com/stats/league/eu/1/all gives updated stats about race distribution from this season, and it says that the stats are taken from 206,544 EU teams this season..

So if iam a Master guy, ranked 811 in EU, that makes me better then 99,996%? With those stats,100 000 random sc2 players from bronze to masters, I would be better then 999 994 of them o.O.. Seems like alot :x

there are 85 pages in sc2 ranks of masters players, 100 players per page, 100x85=8500 masters players. same can be done with other leagues. diamond=15000 players, platinum=25800 players, gold=34500 players, silver=45500 players, bronze=76600 players

now just add up the numbers and add 200 players who are GM and you have rougly the amount of people playing on the EU server (189400). now its also easy to find out what percentage is in masters.. (8500/189400)x100=4,48%

there you go, 4.48% of all players are masters on the EU server.

Being above someone in the ladder doesn't make you better than them, but if there's 206k players on the ladder and you're 811th, you're in the 0.4th percentile (of the ladder).

811/206544 = 0.003926 = 0.3926% (not 0.003926%) - so that's 99.6% not 99.996%.

haha sorry I had to laugh so hard at this, your ways works fine, but did you check the link? you can just see the numbers right there with a pretty graphic and percentages
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

sounds like your math is a bit off lol
First, i dont really understand what your saying here:

But anyways,
How can you be better than 999994 if there are only 206,544 active accounts?
EVEN if you take all 1 000 000 into account then as rank 811 you would be better than 999289 of them.
Infact what i think is true that at rank 811 your better than 205733, which makes you better than 99,6%.

But i wouldnt totally trust those numbers by sc2ranks. Just look at that graph saying 59.66% of GMs are randoms and then right below it says there is not a single one.

Assuming that the website logs everything properly (which it very well may not), then yes. Basically.
