>>>



In March we launched a big project: The Starcraft 2 World Ranking. This huge database evaluates almost 4.000 tournament results of almost 1.200 players in more than 150 tournaments in the past 12 months. Players are ranked accordingly to their results.



Additionally the ranking features a filter which allows for custom rankings like the best zerg players of Brasil younger than 19 years... or the best players with an "A" in their nickname in premier-tournaments like GSL.



Besides the ranking, there is a profile-page for every player with detailed information about his performance in his tournaments. They show for example the latest and best results of a player and guide you to his social-media-accounts if you like that player.



The ranking will be updated once a month, for the April-update see here:



The profile pages still lack some information about some players. If you can contribute to that or if you detected a mistake somewhere or if you just want to leave general feedback, please post a comment or e-mail me.



For some first impressions, here are screenshots of the ranking and one profile page:

And Stephano got 25.000 points and 1st place in ranking even though he was raped horribly by mvp in recent iem 2-0?

bad:



the ranking itself xlord 5:0

Nekovivie Profile Joined October 2011 United Kingdom 2593 Posts #4 Stephano just bashes other foreigners in smaller tournaments. No offense to the player, but I wouldn't weight his achievements higher than winning GSL many times. If you are not supporting K-Pop you are hurting E-Sports.

edit: hell even being in Code S, is more valuable than finishing top 16 in those major foreign lans. yummy tomatoes

Wait until they realise Flash is at 91. Mvp - Leenock - Dongraegu - MC - Gumiho - Keen - Polt - Squirtle - Jjakji - Genius - Seed - Life - sC - Dream || LG-IM - MVP - FXO

Ghanburighan Profile Joined January 2011 Estonia 7494 Posts Last Edited: 2013-03-11 12:54:28 #11 It looks like the Ranking is way off.



The idea that you give points according to tournament placements and tournaments are ranked according to an arbitrary prize pool benchmark does not reflect the skill of players.



For example, high prize pool tournaments can have easy players (Parting's win of the world championship).



Also, the numbers are arbitrary: 25k, 10k, 5k.



Edit: It looks at the last 12 months only. Which seems to explain why for example Mvp, after winning GSL's, MLG Anaheim, IEM etc could rank that low. The results have to be recent. Although, I cannot find a way to see what you actually took into account and not on the web page.



Other points, the race is Terran, not Terraner. Cry 'havoc' and let slip the dogs of war

Come on, when you compare their results it's clear why ...



MVP : 4 GSL, 1 IEM, 1 GSL World Championship, 1 BlizzCon, 1 MLG, 1 WCG.



Nerchio : 1DH, 1 HSC, 17 Zotac (easily beats the poor 4 GSL of MVP ..!), etc etc





By the way there are mistakes, I saw a player that took 2 different rank, in the very same tournament (tournament had only 1 edition :D).



ps : I am making little fun, but the idea is very good I think, just need to work more on the system ^^.

I think you're right. MVP would swap with Nerchio instantly if he was able to. Those Zotac's are the pinnacle of SC2 eSports. I think you're right.

PhoenixVoid Profile Blog Joined December 2011 Canada 16298 Posts #20 This seems off in so many ways, it appears like you just used an arbitrary scale to determine how successful a player is, and the weighting of a tournament isn't very well done. Even looking purely at prize money, this ranking is ridiculously wrong, and even looking at current skill levels, it is awfully scaled. Seriously, Stephano first, and MaNa 10th is ridiculous in my eyes. I'm afraid of demented knife-wielding escaped lunatic libertarian zombie mutants
