Official Texas Power Rankings! - Updated June 15, 2012

[UTDZac]

I still don't get why it would be worth less to beat the same person in Loser's Bracket.

I'm really good. I go to tournament with lots of people. I lose first round, intentionally. Then I breeze through losers, winner almost twice as many games as I would have if I just stayed in winners. I just gained double ELO, essentially. Don't believe me? Go look at a typical full bracket.

 

[Tesh]

I'm a little lost here. How would you be getting double ELO? If I beat Bio in Loser's Bracket (someone in F tier), how would that be better than beating Gnes in Winner's bracket. The people in Loser's bracket are worse than the people in Winners and you already get less points because of that.

You say "breeze through losers" as if there isn't a 2nd player involved. Those people in Loser's bracket used to be in Winner's bracket right? If I deserve like 24 points for beating Razer in winner's bracket, why is that worth only half as much if I beat him in loser's bracket?

 

[Sync.]

Because being in loser's is a privilege Tesh. Gnes, Razer, Trela, Dojo could forfeit and farm points by forfeiting first round if he wanted at ANY Texas tournament.

 

[Tesh]

Wouldn't a top seed losing the maximum amount of points to a bottom seed by forfeit basically invalidate him getting +3-5 points for beating people way below him.

Like:
Winner's Round 1 -Dojo forfeits to Tesh -24 points
losers round 1-dojo beats bio +4
lr2-dojo beats xyro +5
etc.
and in later losers rounds he could run into gnes, razer, denti etc. and wind up with a net loss regardless so i still dont see it.

im curious now so im reading all the links in the OP hoping it will give me a better understanding

 

[Sky Pirate]

EDIT: WOW, HOW LONG DID IT TAKE ME TO TYPE THAT? Double ninjas.

And I'm not saying it's a BAD system, Infinity. It's just something I've never really seen before. ^^;

 

[UTDZac]

Tesh, here's an example bracket. Follow Dphat and assume he wins as many games as possible (excluding Winner Finals / Grand Finals). If he wins round 1, follow the red. If he loses round 1, follow the blue.

[collapse=Hobo 31 Bracket]

[Fogo]

Damn Dphat catch that Jerm bro!

And come on tesh. The points are that way so they can't farm, that's why there's a possibility of a net loss. If it was 24 pts on each side it'd be easy to gain major points, see above example.

 

[Dojo]

Lol I would have a lot more points.. So many early losses....

 

[Infinitysmash]

For real dude, you love to bully those loser's bracket kids

 

[Dojo]

Oh yeah, that **** gets me off....

 

[ruin`]

Would be something I'd be interested in if every set didn't take 15 minutes.

 

[Dojo]

But dood, you play like 3 games of league in a row and that takes like 3 hours!

 

[Fogo]

Damien you make those sets that long lol You time people out for fun.

 

[Tesh]

Ok I understand now that Loser's bracket is bigger than winner's bracket. But I still don't see how beating all the worse players would be a bigger gain than beating all the good players.

I guess I get it now though....

 

[CY]

But dood, you play like 3 games of league in a row and that takes like 3 hours!

that's why I don't like playing LoL, the games take way too long imo.

sc2 is a better pace, but my computer is too ****ty.

 

[Nike.]

For real dude, you love to bully those loser's bracket kids

OMGGGGG

Dojo, I played the Loser of you and Illmatic.
Howwwwwwwwwwww could you do that to me?

 

[ruin`]

Damien you make those sets that long lol You time people out for fun.

[Fear]

Go ahead and put me on the G-tier

/flex etc.

 

[Denti]

I'm going down next update. I'm not as good as the PR shows. >.>

I am going to train as hard as possible tho.. more so than ever before. Hopefully I improve.

 

[PantyRaider08]

How often do you practice Denti? You've improved an absurd amount.

 

[UTDZac]

He's better than me, imo, I just got a fluke win.

 

[Denti]

Hell no zac, you beat me solidly.

 

[Thebest1pj]

I beat both of you.

[Dakpo]

[Player-4]

I 2-0'd Roy_R in a friendly set

Am I A tier yet?

 

[Nike.]

WHAT?!?
Where was this?!?

 

[Player-4]

At Sync's the other day, I asked if RT had his recording set up like he always does but sure enough he didn't, I knew you would be sad

 

[Nike.]

Oh, Idc about videos lol I'm just super glad that Roy_R actually went to a smashfest.
Is he gonna play again? His Marth still ****?

Tell me. Everything.

 

[Player-4]

Is he gonna play again? His Marth still ****?

Tell me. Everything.

Idk what he's gonna do, he may play, who knows

His Marth is still good, just too agressive, once he plays Brawl as Brawl instead of Melee he'll be ****

 

[Xyro77]

WHAT?!?
Where was this?!?

royr has not played brawl in like a full year. its expected for him to lose. if he ever decides to play again he will be top 5 in tx like normal

 

[z00ted]

no he wont

 

[RT]

RoyR the hero!

But yeah, he'll never come back in full force...he's more interested in Melee anyways.

 

[Reizilla]

Tell him MK might get banned! That'll bring him back for sure! Oh boy!

 

[gunterrsmash01]

didnt royr ether illmatic at a small tourney
