Hello everyone, 2 weeks have passed and thus it is time for yet another aligulac write-up. Lots of results from tournaments like Dreamhack, GSTL, ATC, SC2L etc.
Now before we get into this, remember that a difference of around 250 or less means that there is no statistically significant difference between two players, but who am I kidding, you just want to rage and yell at our stats, so here we go.
The list:
-
  INnoVation 2022 (+11: WCS KR, IEM NY Qualifiers, ATC, SC2L, GSTL, Dreamhack)
- Polt 1991 (+20: IEM NY Qualifiers)
- TaeJa 1962 (+62: IEM NY Qualifiers, SC2L, Dreamhack )
-
 HyuN 1891 (+16: IEM NY Qualifiers, go4sc2, ATC, Dreamhack)
-
 sOs 1885 (+27: IEM NY Qualifiers, Dreamhack)
- San 1861 (+62: IEM NY Qualifiers, go4sc2, Fragbite Qualifiers, ESET Qualifiers ATC)
- Life 1850 (-34: IEM NY Qualifiers, Dreamhack, GSTL)
- HerO 1847 (+31: IEM NY Qualifiers, Dreamhack, SC2L)
- MMA 1838 (+80: IEM NY Qualifiers, SC2L, GSTL, ATC, Dreamhack, WCS EU, ESET Qualifiers)
- Bomber 1819 (-73: GSTL, WCS KR)
A few months ago, it seemed clear that INnoVation had one MU that was far better than the other, having fantastic TvZ, raping zergs left and right. His TvT was also very good, taking advantage of Hellbats and their utillity. However, while his TvT is not as good as it used to be, his TvP has really taken off, going 18-3 in TvP the last 2 weeks, losing only to CranK and a single map to Pigbaby. Currently holding the record for highest vZ peak, he is also number 4 on the vP list, behind Polt, Stephano and MKP. However, his TvT is his big achilles heel, losing to players like Taeja, SuperNova, Heart and Ryung in the last 2 weeks, his TvT is around 200 and 300 points behind his TvP and TvZ.
Riding on the legend of the Taeja Summer, Team Liquid's Taeja adds 62 points to his rating, solidifying his 3rd place and gaining on both INnoVation and Polt. I personally think that Taeja might be the most complete Terran player currently, and can't wait to see how he does at Blizzcon. Taeja showed immaculate play at Dreamhack and the SC2L final and will hopefully keep climbing and threaten the dominance of INnoVation on our list.
In the other end of the top 10, HerO and MMA showed strong performances, gaining 31 and 80 points respectively. Hopefully this is the beginning of the return of MMA, let's see if he can qualifiy for WCS S3 finals and Blizzcon, if so, the Son of Boxer might climb even higher.
The protosses sOs and San both put on a strong showing the past 2 weeks, with San going 33-10 vs. a good mix of foreigners and top Koreans like Soulkey, Squirtle, HerO, soO and sC.
Finally we have yet another fall for Startale's Life, losing matches in GSTL, IEM Qualifiers etc. cost the Startale zerg 34 points.
Taeja applauds himself, because he is a boss.
The foreigner list:
-
 LucifroN 1784 (-12: Raidcall EES, WCS EU)
-
 Sen 1753 (+1: NSL, Starswar)
-
 NaNiwa 1733 (No matches)
-
 Jim 1725 (+0: ATC Qualifiers, NSL, Starswar, ATC)
-
 Nerchio 1700 (-15: Zotac, go4sc2, ATC, Raidcall EES, SC2L, WCS EU, Dreamhack)
-
 Scarlett 1690 (No matches)
- VortiX 1688 (+20: WCS EU, Raidcall EES, ATC)
-
 Snute 1668 (+0: Millenium Cup, SC2L, Dreamhack)
-
 Happy 1662 (-49: ATC, Zotac)
-
 HeRoMaRinE 1586 (+26: Raidcall EES, Fragbite Qualifiers, ESET Qualifiers)
The top 5 of the foreigner list is still unchanged, however LucifroN have been on a steady downfall for the last 5 periods, with Sen finally playing more than just TeSL and WCS AM, and Jim showing good performance in both the WCS system and various individual and teamleagues, it seems only a matter of time before the Spaniard loses his first place. Alliance's (EG's) NaNiwa has had no matches the last 2 weeks, but we expect to see how his current form is at the upcoming IEM. Happy falls quite a few points, while VortiX gains 20 points, moving him, Snute and Scarlett past Happy. Finally HeRoMaRinE makes a grand entrance, with a few good online results these past 2 weeks.
This week I want to welcome our latest additions to the staff team, slowbacontron, swz, Tempest and Hotspur. With a growing number of match submitters and coders, it becomes easier to maintain the Database and correct inconsistensies etc.
Also shoutouts to the ever hardworking team of match submitters: kiekaboe, MasterOfPuppets, Shellshock, PhoenixVoid and Sabre.
More previews and stuff coming Soon™

hb grovbolle.
excited for the update

HB and good thread.
Strange to see Lucifron still at the top of the foreigner list, since his results as of late have been very lackluster.
Also Innovation/Polt/TaeJa too OP.
|
Happy Birthday and thanks for all the good work. Interesting that Life has, despite his poor results, still the highest ZvT rating, shows how incredible it used to be.

The Terran Triumvirate. We only need to have Innovation vs Polt matches now to build an 2011-esque system :D

He basically loses, but not that much, and not to that bad opponents, plus mainly in online stuff, which counts for less.

Yeah, he is still riding on his past prime in ZvT.
Also: HB = Happy birthday, it took me way to long to realize that, since it's not 20th here in Denmark yet, and I haven't really had time to think about it  Thanks guys

Yay Heromarine breaking into the Top 10!!! :D

A few month ago hellbats were still in TvT and INnoVation destroyed in that match up. He didn't do as well as in his other match ups, but putting down the statement that he was seemingly a one trick pony is blatantly insulting towards him. He destroyed Zerg and looked untouchable - a lot more untouchable compared to now but thats because Zergs caught up and did learn how to properly play against his style.
While there was a period of time he was absolutely beasting through everything, he never was a one trick pony. He destroyed Rain, sOs and he didn't lose an offline TvP for about 4 month. I don't know what time you are talking about when you are saying he was a one trick pony, but I certainly cannot remember the time when he was. Being outstanding and floating a nearly 90% winrate in one match up, doesn't make you a one trick pony just because your TvP is 70%. In fact - its still brilliant.
To underline my point only his Terran vs Protoss:
March: 5-2 (72%) with an 3-0 over Rain
April: 5-4 (56%) wins over PartinG, Rain, lost to Rain/sOs#
May: 4-1 (80%) wins over sOs both HerO's and his only loss coming form Rain
June: 5-1 (83%) with 4-0 over sOs even
July: 9-3 (75%) also with wins over Rain and CJ_herO
August: 2-3 (40%) having lost to PartinG in WCG
August is the first month since march he has a negative record and thats on maps, in series he is 50%. INnoVation never was a one trick pony so while I am trying to not be butthurt and defensive here, I simply believe that is a very wrong statement.
30-14 in total which makes a 68,18% winrate. I sure wish I would be a one trick pony like that.

Ah, Korean terrans dominating. All is well.

Did not Inno drop at least 2 games in march to Rain in GSL Ro32?
Also, what games did he EVER drop to sOs in PvT in HotS?

Obviously he is the greatest Terran in a long time, I meant him no disrespect, just trying to underline that he got famous for raping zerg players left and right, and now he is doing the same to a lot of protosses. So while I do understand what you mean, it is really just a matter of me formulating myself in a bad way, I'll edit it

INnoVation lost to sOs at Asian Indoors Masters 1-2. He won against Rain 3-0 in march, lost against Rain 1-2 in April. The games in April were GSL Code S Group F.

There's also an update to the match prediction.
+ Show Spoiler +
And team ranking.
+ Show Spoiler +
I also figured out how to do percentage bars. 
+ Show Spoiler +
There are a few other minor things, but nothing much. It's mostly behind the scenes... Kinda sucks taking the server down for a day for changes that most people will never notice.

I love it, keep up the great work.

Don't worry, I will notice.
Because I'll have to figure out how to run python 2.7 and python 3 simultaneously on windows then.
