Skill rating in gac matchmaking

Underdog wins with inferior roster are very much possible in higher brackets. There are quite some players with only 5 GLs hanging out in Kyber 1. But those players either excel in modding, are very focused on efficiency play or/and have developed a unique roster to compensate for the GL disadvantage (e.g. risky off-meta counters or stronger fleet). They don't win all the time but enough to keep them in Kyber 1.

6.4m with only 2 GLs definitely is a strong disadvantage. But being able to underdog stronger roster has a limit. Nobody says modding/strategy/scouting can fully compensate big holes in a roster. It's like you can be the grandmaster of Chess, but playing with less figures at your disposal, you are still likely to lose to less gifted players.



What he said.


Ive had only 5 GL's for awhile and hang out in Kyber 1. Low low end, but I manage to stay there. Im almost always fighting folks with 6 GL's and regularly win. Modding helps, but its mostly because they look at my defense on .gg and decide they would rather FC me than play it safe on defense. This gives me room for them to make mistakes and capitalize on that.

I am 6.4 mil player who has two gls. I work hard on my modding, strategy, researching my opponents. I have out played accounts with millions of gp more than me. 4-5 gls. To reach kyber 2. What awaits me a similar skill player?

No a bracket with opponents with all the gls, starkiller, malgus, Maul. More r9's R8s than I have r5-7. They could be worst player and yet still win because of their roster.

I do not mind losing due to the strategy or skill of my opponent but having no chance against an opponent that has me overpowered.
