Note that some older games were added, so ratings will have changed in previous lists too.
In the top 10, DongRaeGu passes BaBy in the rankings. VortiX makes an appearance after gaining 118 points, and Jaedong sneaks in on 10th place after gaining 151. HerO and EffOrt fall out.

New this week is the team ranking, at the moment displayed in percentages, but I will turn them into rating points soon when I figure out how to do it. Here's the allkill rank, which rewards topped teams:
- StarTale
- MVP
- SK Telecom T1
- Team Liquid
- FXOpen e-Sports Korea
- STX SouL
- Incredible Miracle
- KT Rolster
- Evil Geniuses
- Woongjin Stars
- StarTale
- MVP
- SK Telecom T1
- STX SouL
- Team Liquid
- Incredible Miracle
- AZUBU
- Evil Geniuses
- FXOpen e-Sports Korea
- KT Rolster
New features from last week:
- You can see all the recorded games for a player by going to the player page and clicking the "Match history" link. Example.
- The records are now only counted once per player.
- You can now sort the list by any of the four reported ratings.
- We have a new Hall of Fame that attempts to assess performance over time. I failed a bit trying to put it into words, so here's an example. If Life is #1 on the list three times consecutively, with a rating gap of 10, 40 and 80 points, his PP for this period is 130. If he drops to number 2 but back to number 1 again (-10 and 20) his PP will be 140 over those five lists. The system will find the range for each player that gives them the maximal PP. Currently Bomber is demolishing this ranking due to his powerful run for four months in the spring and summer of 2011. Life is second, and he's piling up points as we speak. His run is nearly as long, but he hasn't been as far ahead of his peers as Bomber was.
- As mentioned, the teams. I have been adding historical rosters, but they are incomplete still, and due to spotty record-keeping I'm not sure if I can ever provide historical team ratings . Still, the current rosters should be mostly correct.
- The prediction interface has changed a bit, in anticipation of supporting prediction for groups and brackets.
This time I would like some feedback from you guys, on two points. First, the HotS release is coming up. What to do? I was originally planning to do nothing and just let the ratings modify themselves (which happens quite quickly). I don't think the games are that different. The other thing I could do is reset all ratings to 1000 and start from scratch. This would mean that the ratings would become quite unreliable for a fairly long period of time (several months) until they readjust. The third option is that I keep the rating, but I reset the uncertainty. This would be akin to marking the WoL ratings as "less trusted", putting a far heavier weight on new results in HotS.

Secondly, fonts. I'm a sucker for serifs, but are you? All the tabular data keep the old sans-serif font, but the more textual things are now serif.

To round off this post, I would like to thank my ever hardworking team of helpers. They are: KristofferAG, PhoenixVoid, Grovbolle, Conti (who was a great help with the team rosters), and new guy kiekaboe (who has been adding results like crazy).
Feedback is always appreciated (particularly on the two points above), but if you have any other suggestions or questions, may I kindly request that you read the FAQ first, as your question may have already been answered there.
