I'd like to say a few words about the recent situation of Kamukag3e, if anyone cares to read.
The WCL's rating system hasn't been updated since january of 2013. It is rather inactive, even the few good players there stopped playing a long time ago. Besides, WCL's point formula for rating is terrible, as it rewards players who play a thousand games too much. It is why the top2 guys with 3200+ points have literally more losses than wins (they only play against each other). On hw rankings I didnt find a single player in top60 who has more losses than wins. In conclusion, WCL rankings are worthless and should not be taken seriously.
I'd say a couple hundred games outside of HW are excusable, mostly because rules and the level of average players is quite different. What better opportunity to level up for HW than newbie tourney?
