So last night the April 17 rating list was finalized (



History:



Actually with Terran at +5% and Protoss at −9% we see that Zerg must be at +4%, so it's by a hair.



Here's the current top 10:

Life 1921

Polt 1837

Bomber 1818

ForGG 1816

PartinG 1798

HyuN 1768

YoDa 1751

viOLet 1738

DongRaeGu 1736

Leenock 1735 Life celebrates his seventh period in the number 1 spot, with a bigger rating gap than ever. Parting is still the only one in the top ten defending the Protoss pride. His closest compadres are Yonghwa at 1681 and Rain at 1675.



But if Terran has taken over in the Korean world, among the foreigners, it's still all Zerg.

LucifroN 1710

Sen 1677

VortiX 1669

Stephano 1638

Scarlett 1625

Nerchio 1617

Snute 1604

Happy 1558

Welmu 1555

Bunny 1526 Special mention must go to Feast, who rakes in a massive 171 points these two weeks, coming off of the Francophone Championship, ATC and two WTC EU qualifiers.

I don't understand the math model, but I don't try to understand it either



Looks like it's reflecting skill? Can someone explain how it's calculated in plain english? Funny how the top 1 foreigner has less points than the lowest korean.I don't understand the math model, but I don't try to understand it eitherLooks like it's reflecting skill? Can someone explain how it's calculated in plain english? Comparing BW with SCII is like comparing a beautiful three-master sailing ship with a modern battlecruiser. Both are beautiful in their own way, both perform the same task, but they are worlds apart in how they are built and how they are steered.

I don't have much knowledge of the system, but i think this at least should be true.

There is an explanation in plain English as well as in unplain English. I can answer further if there are more specific questions.



In short, it's a rating system. Like Elo, but different. We have a FAQ for exactly these kinds of questions.There is an explanation in plain English as well as in unplain English.

That's a pretty big score inflation from smacking down some fairly mediocre French players. (and I'm being generous here) "my shaft scares me too" - strenx 2014

ScrubS Profile Joined September 2010 Netherlands 436 Posts #17 The math seems pretty solid behind it. For those people wondering why the top 10 is rather strange, the website is based on a dataset of thousands of replays. Unfortuantely pro's dont release their replays (except streamers such as ForGG) and are therefore not rated correctly

Not so much replays, just official matches I would think. Not so much replays, just official matches I would think.
