Same old matchmaking problem

Not necessarily.

Would you say that the participants in the ALGS are similarly skilled?  I would. So what would be interesting would be to take all of the players stats from the last major ALGS tournament or such and computing their KD's during that tournament.

Hmm I just looked at Team Never to Change stats from the split one playoffs .9 kills per game avg and 24 games played with no wins. I went ahead and called the team kills per game avg 1.0 for simplicity and divided by 3 to get .33 kills per game per player. Which of course after 24 games and Deaths lead to a .33 K/D ratio which of course could be lower if they were respawned in any games (this data I cannot find).

Also TSM from the split one playoffs. 3.1 kills per game 30 games played and 1 game won. lets call it 1.33 kills per player per game, and 29 deaths the game they won lets just say they were all alive at the end. that's a 1.375 KD without factoring in any possible respawns. 

Lastly I will add Dark Zero 6.1 kills per game avg 24 games played and 6 games won. Lets call it 2.33 kills per player per game and will say that the same one player was alive at the end of each game won. That would be a 3.10 KD without factoring in any respawns. 

So even here the variance of KD's and outcomes with "similarly skilled" players is eye opening, .33 another is 1.375 and the last is 3.10.
