Noam Profile Joined September 2010 Israel 2206 Posts #5 I would like to see that Top 10 list [for example] if the rating was calculated using only matches played in the last 30 days, or some other more significant date such as "After WCS S1", etc.. Liquipedia

I'm not so keen on that idea, personally. It would complicate the backend quite a bit if we were to do it properly (and not so much the hacky way, I guess). I'm also worried about reducing the "canonicity" of the system. I can maybe play around with it when I have more time, but there are other things that to me seem both more useful and which are easier to do.





Edit: Since Grovbolle doesn't know what he's talking about, what I'm doing right now is porting the whole thing to Python 3, cleaning up the code and patching up all or most of the minor bugs and annoyances as I find them. Otolia has promised to start working on an API very soon, and I know this is a highly sought after feature. Hopefully we can release all these changes together soonish. (That chart in the OP is one of them.)



And yeah, a big thank you to NRS for putting us on their team shirt totally free of charge. I know there are many closet NRS fans among the Aligulac staff. :D I'm not so keen on that idea, personally.

As a P I'm happy we keep at least one player in the top ten - even though SoS isn't exactly who I'd call best Protoss, but stats don't lie. Get off my lawn, young punks

Interpretations of stats do though. I personally think Rain or PartinG have a better claim, maybe First.

A system of this sorts is limited by loads of factors and imperfections, statistically sos can't be called better than any protoss with 250 or less lower ranking.

Still it's fun to track "Best protosses in the world." Interpretations of stats do though.

She's consistently below other foreigners (although not by too much) while arguably playing the best games (I know this is subjective, just my opinion).

My best guess is because our DB doesn't have separate HotS and WoL DB's. When TLPD HotS launched, everyone was back to ground zero, which is also the reason why the TLPD HotS DB looks somewhat funny still, their DB won't be "useful" untill it is at least one year old, simply due to lack of games in DB. We also had a shaky period right around the launch of HotS, but ours is mostly stabilized by now.



Example: While I do like Heromarine, he is probably not top 6 player in the World. And Happy as number 3 also seems a bit much My best guess is because our DB doesn't have separate HotS and WoL DB's.
