Panda Global Rankings Ultimate: Difference between revisions

A notable issue with the PGRU was its points system and strict thresholds. As values were either based on entrants count or the number of PGR attendees present, several tournaments were either undervalued or were left unranked, even with the international multipliers. The issue was most prominent in the first season, which based tournament values solely on entrants count. As a result, there were several tournaments that were either left unranked or were undervalued. Notable examples include {{Trn|Collision 2019}}, which despite being a major was only a PGR C-tier, and {{Trn|EGS Cup}}, which despite featuring {{Sm|MkLeo}} and several notable Japanese talent did not meet the attendance requirement and was therefore left unranked. Although the issue was addressed in the second season with the addition of PGR attendee points, the issue still remained, albeit on a much smaller scale. A notable example from this season was the superregional {{Trn|DreamHack Winter 2019}} which featured notable talent from all of Europe but was left unranked as it did not meet either requirements: only two PGRU players were present -- {{Sm|Glutonny}} and {{Sm|Mr.R}} -- and the tournament was 2 entrants short of the C-tier threshold. Likely as a result of this, tournament and player representation in Japan (for the first season) and Europe (for both season) were underrepresented on the TTS and the rankings, respectively.
