PGTour Status #2

pgtlink.gif

What's happening on the other side? SG is now keeping track of two of the most poular ladders in the community, WGTour and PGTour. Last Tuesday it was the former's time, now we're checking out the latter.



PGTour is using the ELO system, the same kind of system that the Battle.Net ladder is using. In short, it means that you get a lot more points by beating someone far more higher ranked than yourself, and almost nothing by winning someone a lot worse ranked than you.

Fk.Timothy in the lead


In the first place, we find China Fk.Timothy, who was taking part in the » WGTour Season 9 playoffs this weekend. He is in the lead with 9 points ahead of United States 88)BlackJack, a player that was on the Top 10 list on WGTour as well, find the last WGTour status report » here. He has an impressively low losing number, and yet a high win score.

Unusual nations in the Top 10


Some countries like Korea Korea, Germany Germany and Poland Poland have a high number of StarCraft players, while some other countries don't. In the PGTour Top 10, you can find Samoa MisOdrOne in the fourth place, a player from the country of Samoa, located east of Australia, between the Fiji Island and Tahiti.
It's not often that you see players using the Hong Kong flag either, but in the eighth place Hong Kong JangManOk is loacted with 23 wins and only 2 losses. Either it is that PGTour applies to people in minority countries (StarCraftly speaking), or that PGTour has a bigger set of cool flags that people tend to use.

Races based on the highest % on the players' PGTour profiles


1 Protoss in the Top 10 - just as in WGT


If you compare the PGTour Top 10 to the WGTour Top 10 about a week ago, the race aspects are strikingly the same. Is it just a fluke, or do people play Protoss less?
