I take it that Mitoe is an Aizamk smurf account? Because I cannot see Aiz11 anywhere

You don't have an average statistic so must use a specific date.[Armag] diarouga wrote:The issue is that you shouldn't seed people based on their form 2 hours before the seeding. For instance, kaiser was #1 and has been top 5 for months, and he lost a few games to #11, it's just a bad streak.the fact that remaining players ended up with lower elo in hours/days leading upto competition which implies their form isn't that great, unless someone intentionally lost elo.
No, top16 list is based on the average level people have.Every system is unreliable because it eventually ends up on each form on that particular day something which you can't predict.

Re: $1000 ESOC Challenge Cup - Group Stage Reveal
I think the system that was used for the NWC was very good (despite rating the eventual winner far too low !): qualifiers based on elo and final seeding based on players own evaluation.
Anyway really looking forward to this tournament and this death group !

Re: $1000 ESOC Challenge Cup - Group Stage Reveal
Is it not possible to add a qualifier? I mean still waiting for that H2O Samwise reunion after all this time. Kinda sad if it's not gonna happen just because of how the seeding worked. It seems H2O wanted to play this.
Re: $1000 ESOC Challenge Cup - Group Stage Reveal
Yeah we want to see a Samwise vs H2O match like in the old FP days

People want fair and equal seeding until it doesn't give the results they wanted.

Yes of course and that's normal. People don't want potential winners of a tourney to be eliminated in the first round.harcha wrote:People want fair and equal seeding until it doesn't give the results they wanted.

There will be potential winners dropping anyway, even if all those guys were in different groups, so what do you mean..?[Armag] diarouga wrote:Yes of course and that's normal.

Re: $1000 ESOC Challenge Cup - Group Stage Reveal
All 16 qualified players are potential winners, and each round half of them will be eliminated (or according to rules). You realize your prejudice, that only certain 3-4 people can win tournament is actually insulting to rest 70%+ players who have worked hard to get qualified and will to try and win?[Armag] diarouga wrote:Yes of course and that's normal.

Re: $1000 ESOC Challenge Cup - Group Stage Reveal
I meant favourite, not just potential winners.
And not all the 16 players are realistically potential winners btw. I'd say 10-11 players have a shot at winning, with some who're more likely than others.
You could also say that Sam has worked hard to get #1 and that it's unfair to give him the hardest group btw.

Re: $1000 ESOC Challenge Cup - Group Stage Reveal
Hardest group by what metric? He got lower end of the seeds. "I feel this is hard group" isn't a quantifiable metric, on the other hand elo is. Who is to say Kaiser's bad form/streak wouldn't continue in tournament and sam might end up washing up everyone else?

Re: $1000 ESOC Challenge Cup - Group Stage Reveal
Each seeding method has its merits, its downsides, and its different degrees of fairness. Would it be fair to Ezad to be seeded by his peers, completely neglecting any work he put into laddering? Hopefully, we can expect even the slightest degree of MS support soon with the development of a ladder so we can use max Elo and other metrics for our seeding purposes.
Re: $1000 ESOC Challenge Cup - Group Stage Reveal
I think the seeding is fair. And the seeding also served a purpose it got people to play the game in quick search So I don't disagree with the seeding at all. However; there should be a qualifier for people like H2O or Soldier.
Re: $1000 ESOC Challenge Cup - Group Stage Reveal
I don’t know what you’re all talking about, this is the easiest group of my life D:

Re: $1000 ESOC Challenge Cup - Group Stage Reveal
By the metric of every top player. Find a top player who would prefer group A over another group. GL.Hardest group by what metric?
It is. Just ask the top16 players to rate the other players, and make the seeding based on that.I feel this is hard group" isn't a quantifiable metric
It's impossible to predict. The issue is thatelo is just a coinflip unless people sit on their elo. kaiser could have decided to stop playing when he was #1, or lose 1 more game to get an easier groupWho is to say Kaiser's bad form/streak wouldn't continue in tournament and sam might end up washing up everyone else?

Re: $1000 ESOC Challenge Cup - Group Stage Reveal
It's actually the opposite. To exploit the seeding you should sit on your elo and stop playing after a good winning streak. kaiser didn't abuse that and decided to ladder while he was #1, and he got punished for that.bobabu wrote:I think the seeding is fair.

Iirc I was seeded #1 in the NWC qualifiers based on elo despite not playing for weeks because I abused the system. Now for a qualifier it doesn't really matter, but for a major tourney, seeding is important.
Re: $1000 ESOC Challenge Cup - Group Stage Reveal
If some people are willing to cherry-pick/sit on their elo, what embraces to give them honest player ratings? For example, player who believes he is gonna be seeded #7 should basically try to find as easy 8 as possible. Second, player-based ratings harm those who have improved a lot lately but not acknowledged by others.
Both systems have flaws. Death groups happen in any sport/game. Even without the possibility of cherry-picking/avoiding games. Definitely, the way isn't either letting the discriminating admins arbitrarily decide.

Re: $1000 ESOC Challenge Cup - Group Stage Reveal
You can't really cheat when ranking the players because tbh you simply cannot know how you ll be ranked (and how the other players will be ranked) + your ranking is just one out of 16 so you can't know how impactful your ranking is going to be.
Else there s the gsl system : players from the top4 pick a player in their group , then this player picks the next one and so on.

Re: $1000 ESOC Challenge Cup - Group Stage Reveal
Well, ignoring elo, every group has 1 player in it that has won a tournament before (I think?), except for group A, which has 4 players who have all won tournaments before, 3 of whom have won multiple tournaments. All 4 have also been ranked #1 on the ladder at certain points.princeofcarthage wrote:Hardest group by what metric? He got lower end of the seeds.

Re: $1000 ESOC Challenge Cup - Group Stage Reveal
Those are past results. They do not necessarily reflect current scenario. For ex. You have been hit and miss over the years, you have played like pr 50 and pr 15 within span of few days. I don't know your current form but can you definitively this may not happen again? You may end up playing lik PR 30. On paper I don't disagree it's the hardest group but it also has every potential to be the easiest one for any one of you.Mitoe wrote:Well, ignoring elo, every group has 1 player in it that has won a tournament before (I think?), except for group A, which has 4 players who have all won tournaments before, 3 of whom have won multiple tournaments.

It doesn't have the potential to be the easiest group, no. Mitoe is unconsistent ok, turk to some extent but kaiser and Sam are very consistent.princeofcarthage wrote:Those are past results.
