Super Titan Confusion

1ucky · 03-06-2013, 12:14 PM

So I've always known that there's been some discrepancy between rank and players who are super titans. There are a lot of masters in the 1v1 list that are ranked higher than super titans.
However, I always thought this was due to some delay in rating adjustment or something (not really sure about the logistical/technical stuff), but I always thought it was based on hidden rating and that the discrepancy was due to some time needed for the league placement to match up with the ranking.

However, this week, Alex decided to make a bunch of super titans, which is awesome. However, I'm confused why the top 10 ten teams aren't the teams that became super titans? This was done all at once, so naturally the teams with the highest hidden rating (thus highest rankings) should become the super titans?

It's most likely because they haven't finished a game with the new system yet. Smile

If that were the case, there is going to be 45 super titan teams?
(There is a super titan duo ranked 45)

Possibly. Or they rose a bunch between when the ranks were released and now.

Well the rank 45 pair that are super titans were ranked 45 when the ranks came out, so I don't think that's it.
And I would be very surprised if they let in 45 super titan teams; that's wayyyy too loose..
Hmm yeah I dunno

The ranks aren't live. They only change once a week.

I understand that. They were ranked 45 on March first, which is also when Alex decided to implement the super titan/non-super titan thing, I believe?

No just yesterday.

I share your concern Lucky. But we have to wait until every team has a chance to finish a game. For example, based on others making it into ST, I now expect to be promoted when I finish my next match. I agree that 45 STs would be too loose. We'll see how it looks in about a month methinks.

ah okay I see it was updated yesterday? that makes more sense.

Oh thanks Gonzalez; yeah, I guess we'll wait and see.
