Hi,

I've often been wondering how many duels it would generally take people to break 1200 or rise to 1300, 1500, 1800, ..., 2000+,... ELOs in Quake Live.

I'm not asking for your shining new, 50 duels 1600 ELOs QLranks profile (since chances are most of us have parked old accounts), but your all-time duel count vs your current skill (in ELO's :/ ).

Elos is not the whole truth of course, but it's the best measurement, we currently have to try and generalize this. With the Tier Slumming (TS) in mind, it gets a little better.

So I'll start it off I guess:

Duel Count: 1337
TS: 5%
Highest ELO: 1596
Current ELO: 1322

If people are honest, I guess we can figure out if we're severely disabled / mentally retarded, pretty average or genetically modified aspiring talents. Or at least get a rough estimate.

Ps. 1-mappers needn't participate in this thread. No offense. :-)
Pps. It would be best if only "new" players would participate in this. By new I mean people who started playing Quake Live, and didn't play in the old Q3/Q4 days. It would be hard and too inaccurate to give an estimate for these players. :-)
