Re: Excluding Prelude corps

That's why I am talking about elo instead of plain arena points. And the truth is that no one hit high arena points before the show down. So it's much lower, even the break aways are much lower. You can see the difference between season 26 and the others clearly. When I am talking about peak, I am t...

Re: Excluding Prelude corps

Having a higher MLS doesn't necessarily translate to a higher elo nor arena points. The one who lose less and more consistent always gonna enjoy a higher elo and arena points than the ones who win more games. You can't just read the numbers, you have to look beyond that and understand the output. Th...

Re: Excluding Prelude corps

It's not about MLS, it's about not losing a game at the top. Elo and arena points reflects the mastery of the game from that. We are talking about mastery of the game and an arena season. Contrary to popular belief, including prelude corps when playing across the player pool actually gives you great...

We should study it and figure out why, instead of just going along with conventional wisdoms that excluding prelude corps makes the game better. Me, myse...

Re: Excluding Prelude corps

You did amazingly and won, I am talking about overall elo and arena points, elo topped lower this season and last season arena points went over 2150. The more important indicator is overall elo at the top are lower.

Re: Excluding Prelude corps

It's much worse, the meta data shows last season both arena and elo points are significantly lower when prelude corps are excluded. I talked about this with some of the top players, the reason is that it actually punish higher elo players, since CSM Vitor Luna and Credicor have easier time to overco...

Re: Bounty Alert: $100 for 3p Corp Era Prelude Colony Arena Season

it was -35 just couple days ago, so if people start voting and downvote others, it can easily happen. Make awareness, get people motivated for 3p colony instead of another same o' same o' 2p prelude season. Make a post on the Guru page, mobilize the undecided and get the swing votes. You don't win e...

Re: Starting Hand Drafting

There is no clock they do heats and WBC is week long with all kinds of tournament games under the sun. Generally, Class A events don't have noobies, so there is no problem for slow players, and if a decision is difficult others would understand.
