Introducing the SC2 World Ranking

-Why do this?

I love stats, and it was fun to make. Plus, you see every tournament seeding players, but by only that one tournaments past results. Why should someone be punished for not playing an MLG, even if they are the best in the world?

Now note, I didn't include ALL events. I used Liquipedia, both the Premier and Major events list. Every tournament that has finished since today (August 7th) last year. So one year of results. I skipped over Team Events because I don't know how to incorporate that into an individual list. I also skipped qualifiers (minus WCS National events), because I felt that it overlay reward qualified players. Some people may disagree with my decision to skip Code A, and I can understand that, but since Code S players go through Code A every season, I didn't want to think about how to work that out.

This is a regression system. Events degrade each day according to the equation 0.9999792^(#ofDays^2), where #ofDays is the number of days since the events FINALS occured.

I'll go through the player list later and clean it up, introduce race and tlpd links, etc.

If you want the Excel Sheet I was using to calculate the point totals, see here:

If you want to look through and make sure that everything is good and correct, I would appreciate that!

EDIT: ATTENTION. These are the point values for tournaments BEFORE the weekend of August 10th, 2012. All tournaments beyond that weekend will use the formula: [(Mean points of players in event)+(Median points of players in event)+(Prize for winner in US Dollars)]/10

Events degrade each day according to the equation 0.9999792^(#ofDays^2), where #ofDays is the number of days since the events FINALS occured.

So essentially, I wanted GSL to be the top event, since it is most prestigious of all events. Then the top events (MLG, Dreamhack, NASL, etc). Events listed as "Major" on Liquipedia are significantly weaker in point values.
