The reason why is because these weekend tournaments have tons of games against highly ranked tournaments, and I don't necessarily believe that this should be valued more highly than a league-format (GSL). Also, weekend tournaments are way more violate than longer leagues such as GSL because of the lack of preparation. GSL is more prestigious than any other tournament right now (arguably), and it's not because of the prize pool (MLG, IPL, DreamHack, WCS, NASL, these tournaments have comparable prize pools). GSL is prestigious because it's filled with the absolute best players in the world and it allows you to prepare for your next opponent, so you cannot be randomly knocked out simply because you are too tired to play. Prestige is actually an important factor to consider because players will take it more seriously. For example, 4-time GSL champion Mvp will be playing to his peak in the GSL Finals. However, in an IPTL match against FXO, will he really be trying as hard? The answer is clearly no, Mvp (and LG-IM) would rather conserve his wrists. Is there an unbiased way to accommodate prestige into the rankings? No, but it's something to think about. Leenock beating Mvp in some online team league will be valued at a certain level. Leenock beating Mvp in a Bo3 in some online tournament will be valued higher. Leenock beating Mvp in a Bo3 series in the GSL group stages will mean something more. Leenock beating Mvp in GSL, 3-2, the day after they both flew in from NA is meaningful. Leenock beating Mvp 4-3 in the GSL finals after 2 weeks of preparation means far more. | ||

You don't become a progamer by getting twitch ads. You do it by winning games. There are so many good players out there that win tournaments but don't stream. And I don't think team owners are childish enough to not sign him because of his "past". | ||

EZ Read Pro Read The more games we have of anyone on record, the more certain we are of their level/rating. That is how statistics work. We are updating the site with as many games as possible from as many tournaments as possible, on that note, if you are running a minor/not so public tournament but want us to include the games played, plz feel free to msg me with the results as well as the dates the games were played and I will add them. Please not very old tournaments since it gets really hard to see if those are already added due to the buttload of loads from other sites which aren't properly named. The more games are played, the more results are gathered, the better/more accurate the ranking gets. Simple as that. Also to the people hating on CombatEX's ranking, he is ranked high, because even though everyone thinks he's satan, he beat some pretty good players, and there were no games of him in the database, meaning that we currently have the simple assumption that he is pretty fucking good. (And no he is not discriminated because of his history, this is statistics not politics) Now 3 things will either happen, 1: He will continue to play in tournaments and beat good players and thus rise to the level of SC2 god. 2: He will continue to play in tournaments and lose to good players and thus fall in ranking. 3: We will see no games from him in 4 weeks and he will automatically be removed from the list. | ||

First, the certainty decays, which means ratings will change quicker when an inactive player returns to the scene. Second, a player with no games for two months is removed from the list. His entry and rating remains, but it's just not listed.

Yeah, I have thought about it, and I have three reasons not to bother about it, really. (a) I can't think of a way to reliably measure prestige. (b) Some of the information you suggest is totally impractical to collect at this stage (and for the foreseeable future). I'm not about to start collecting information about people's travel habits. (And I realise you aren't seriously suggesting this, but still.) (c) In my personal opinion, if Mvp can only be bothered to really try half the time, then maybe he doesn't deserve a high rating. Oh, I really want to do teams. Puts on to-do list. On December 28 2012 08:13 krutopatkin wrote: how can a guy with a 2-7 record be on spot 19 :> He is 9-8.
