Insider eSports has released our first rankings using the ELO Ranking System.

The first Insider eSports Starcraft II rankings have been released using a modified ELO ranking system. So far only two events have been added to the rankings - IEM Global Challenge Cologne and Day9tv’s Razer King of the Beta tournament. More events will be added as the game progresses.

Simple breakdown of ranking system - all players start at 1200 and have points deducted/added to their ranking by winning matches.

You can find a extensive understanding here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elo_rating_system but I will be using this http://bzstats.strayer.de/bzinfo/elo/?lang=en due to my mind being blown to the math involved in the system.
