I was interested in knowing what the Glicko-2 ranking of the 10 teams competing in the EPIC League tournament during the round-robin group stage. On liquipedia the teams are sorted by simple win/loss record.
Glicko-2 is the ranking system used for many competitive sports/games--chess, go, Overwatch, etc.
Glicko-2 ratings (*before* tie-breakers):
1. VP 1545
2. NaVi 1529
3. OG 1527
4. Liquid 1520
5. Vikin.gg 1512
6. Nigma 1504
7. Secret 1492
8. Alliance 1470
9. Just Error 1458
10. Mudgolems 1434
Glicko-2 ratings (*after* tie-breakers):
1. VP 1545
2. NaVi 1529
3. Secret 1518
4. Vikin.gg 1512
5. Liquid 1511
6. OG 1510
7. Nigma 1504
8. Just Error 1474
9. Alliance 1461
10. Mudgolems 1426
Liquipedia's win/loss ranking (*after* tie-breakers):
1. Virtus.pro 7-2
2. Vikin.gg 6-3
3. Natus Vincere 6-3
4. Team Secret 5-4
5. Team Nigma 5-4
6. Team Liquid 5-4
7. OG 5-4
8. Just Error 2-7
9. Alliance 2-7
10. mudgolems 2-7
All teams started with the same ranking (1500) at the start of the competition.
I don't really know much about Glicko-2 so, I could be handling the best-of-three series wrong.
At the end of the group stage, it'll be interesting if any of the bottom two teams (that get kicked out) are ranked in the top 8 by the Glicko-2 algorithm.
In the end, the Glicko-2 ratings of the teams at the end of the group stage (including tiebreakers) mostly matched the win/loss+tiebreaker rankings as well. A couple teams are ranked lower in Glicko-2 (Nigma -2, Vikin.gg -2) and a few are ranked higher (Navi +1, Secret +1, OG +1, Liquid +1). While it changes the seeding of the tournament bracket a little, it does not change who is in the upper and lower brackets. By the end of the tiebreakers, the last two teams which are eliminated prior to the bracket at the same in the two ranking systems.
