He said the third place guy had 0 wins and 35 losses...are you talking about the fuckin versus challenger, or the versus challenger weekly? The versus Challenger is completely pointless, I don't even know how they came to terms with that. The challenger just shows who plays the most against people who have a "100" rank and win the majority of their games.
As far as true skill goes, if you hate on it you just ain't got it bro. Unless you're looking at the top hundred, or better yet roughly TS over 30, the TS is an extremely accurate placement on who can and will beat you, and who can't. The only reason its garbage above 30 is because there's only, what, 130 players up there? I believe 31 gets into the 90s. When you consider at least half of the top hundred are the guys who played right away and have no reason to be there, you can look at the rank as garbage. Only at the top though.
32 suckas, besides DC, CD, frankie, and konqrr, anyone got me beat?
