March 2018 League Ratings

It's that time again. Ratings are now up on the sister site http://www.shirodaidoji.com

For here lets take our usual leisurely  stroll through the top 10's of most clans.


Crab 


He has finally done it. JoeFromSomeCityinAmerciathatSoundslikecinnamonish has pushed all those other fist players out of the way and taken his place as the leading Crab in the Discord League universe. Which is basically everywhere. Most of the top Crabs took a jump forward with the exception of Enegon who after a sterling climb last season was hurt by three pod losses.

Crane

Daidoji Micah retained his first place as top dog long legged bird with two new players taking advantage of favourable ratings jumps leaping up to 2nd and 3rd. FlyingZergling, Chutereve and Erik all gained big ratings jumps from either solid pod play (FlyingZergling) or deep Cup runs (Erik and Chutereve)

Dragon

An unbeaten cup and League  record allowed MindsDesire to increase his rating by almost one hundred points. If he does equally well in the Invitational then we could have our first Master. Things are precarious at the top though. Surprise of the league is 'Seth' who by winning all pod games managed an impressive 526 point jump to second place.

Lion

Bill.jr holds 1st place here slightly above Toreadory who should really be in the Crane section. Elsewhere KailamPD put together an impressive 330 point increase by doing very well in pods. The rest of the Lions all dropped slightly?

Phoenix

Phoenix did well with most senior players posting small increases. Though none are at Candidate Master status (or that close) that will probably change as we all welcome our new Phoenix overlords until the 3rd Quarter arrives this year.

Scorpion

Scorpion still control two Candidate Masters. Though I should have 'removed' Wydwen as he didn't play this month he was allowed in due to his rather exceptional record. Nomen managed to sneak his rating slightly higher so with MindsDesire they are the first Candidate Masters to remain in this status.

Unicorn

Has a rather disappointing list. Though look the lead player has a rating over 1600 and increased his rating. Whatever he is doing other Unicorns need to copy. Unless I have the clan wrong and he is actually playing Scorpion (or neutral Wandering Ronin decks) in which case don't...

Player Types

Player types! Yes it's time to be casually dismissive and place players into entirely arbitrary categories that will distress any who are so recognised.
I'm awesome!


Ah yes. The player who believes they are the best player in the known universe. They have beaten their mum and their friend Bob and came 1st out of 5 players in a core box tournament. The only thing left to do? Obviously to sign on to a global discord league and prove their outstanding skills. A quick raft of wins then they will be featured in the casted games and hobnobbing with the famous players! Unfortunately it does not go that way. A quick raft of big defeats and they rapidly see that perhaps they are not quite so dominant as they once thought. Dreams of being casted and mentioned in awe disappearing they instead lose interest and stop playing in the discord league.

Weirdly Timed June Results

Image
Bit of a red letter month this month as we have our first ever Full Master (U.S) - Minds Desire who has managed the almost impossible and gained 2232 points moving him to Full Master status. Not to put the pressure on but that is 'only' 168 points below Grand Master...

Additionally, after a good Invitational run, Bayushi Nomen increased his score to an impressive 2097 and we welcome a new Candidate Master in Shenful (on the back of another good invitational run) at 2078 points.

Some of the clans seem to have randomly adjusted so if this affects you then 'oops'

Top 10's now follow until I can post the full list updates (unlikely to be until later in the week as I am seriously overloaded this week enough so that this may be the last time the ratings are done in this format)

January 2018 League Ratings

Image
It is that time again! As the ratings start to mature one thing that is becoming blatantly obvious is that those at the very top have precarious positions that it is really hard to maintain and harder still to increase and those at the bottom are falling far less....

My second major announcement is that we have our first 'Candidate Master' (using ELO nomenclature) in Kingsley breaching the 2000. This is a perfect example of how hard it is to stay on top. He went undefeated in his pods and went all the way through to the semis before getting knocked out by a lower ranked player (they are all lower ranked...) with the loss to a lower ranked wiping out the  minuscule gains of beating much more lower ranked peeps. To a very high ranked player one unlucky game can really damage you.

Anyway to the pure results






From the hard results to the top 10 Clan players. Here the usual caveats apply...Players clans are set when they first play and I do not 'change' clans if the player i…
