Current system for determining whether a character counts for a major win/highest placement isn't the greatest. This is especially the case for the latter, since the rule we currently have is rather arbitrary and somewhat debatable, while for both the rules are somewhat more complicated than they should be. The purpose of this test is to see whether using the percent usage is better than just the raw number by looking at the "border" cases for major winners and character placements.
The following rules remain the same:
- Characters will only count if they are used outside of pools in a game win, then set win. For invitationals, all games/sets are counted.
