i agree with you, he doesn't attend important tourny's like oc3 and such
but at the tourny's he does show up to he has strong showings and beats HIGHLY ranked people I.E. alex and mango, who if i do recall has beaten the mighty #2 hugo...
How can you say that and then turn around and keep wolf ranked so high. no offense he's good but lmao he did poorly at oc3 and wait, didn't he lose winners to thomasexy? 0-2? ahaha when that happens to one of us we are frowned upon but now that it happened to wolf its overlooked? and just because wolf beat him in losers doesn't mean his win should be shadowed, that would be a disgrace to thomasexy.
once again: why bother argueing when some of these rankings are VERY BIASED
we might as well have ROFL on the panel that way teba can still be top 20
Ok, 1 we stated a long time ago that rankings are influenced by player history, and we've explained time and time again why this is the best way to do things. This fact is further proven when you take a look at other people's rankings. Ours are consistently good and other rankings seem to get a bit ******** at times.
With that said, please excuse wolf for losing to PC at oc3. And at the gamestore tourney, Yes he lost to thomas, and it wasn't overlooked. Even though he ended up getting 2nd quite easily later on.
The fact of the matter is, wolf has a lot of history behind him, but when he does poorly or doesn't show up to tournies, he will drop, and he has continually dropped ever since he started his slump. He just wont plummet that fast because we have to assume that he's fully capable of coming back up, because he has a good history. Luigi on the other hand, while he's been doing great, he shows up to 1 tourney a period, does pretty good, then doesn't show up to anything else? Does that really merit him a spot over people who do just as well, but enter way more tournies?
You say we're biased? Has wolf plummeted? No, cuz he still does fine at tournies. Then you have to think, does anyone below him deserve 9th? Perhaps DC, but he did poorly at EVO west and did decently at OC3, and if you think about it, he practically moved up a spot because mango moved above him yet he stayed at 10th. As far as I'm concerned, and I think most people will agree, at this point in time neither ROFL, Arash, MikeY, or Manacloud deserve the 9th place spot at the moment. MikeY did well at oc3, but he lost to azn lep and blitz at the triweekly. So really, he stayed in his same spot.
And yes mike, you did deserve at least a 1 spot move up, but the higher spots were too competitive with high ranking players moving down and people below you moving up. But with luigi, frankly, he deserves 24th at the moment. In the highly competitive 20-25th spots, where luigi was ranked 24th, He managed to hang on to his same spot with 3 new entrants. That's an accomplishment in itself. With the way things are in socal, you don't plummet or skyrocket unless you do extremely well/poorly. You gotta move up gradually. If it was up to you fabian, we'd have a changing list everyday.
This isn't a list of who can beat who, cuz that would make for a ****ed up list if you really think about it. This is a list of who has a better chance of performing well, and with our system you can clearly see who belongs where as time goes by. If luigi really deserves it, he'll keep climbing. We know what we're doing.
