I don't see how anyone could read IpKai's post and not understand why ladders are inferior methods of determining player skill. Let me provide an anecdotal example:
I had, for a time, two accounts in vCoh. One account I used when I felt like playing serious; I only played in the morning when I was alert and sober. It was evening in western Europe when I played, and I got about an 8:1 W/L ratio, and faced a fair amount of the top tier players.
My other account I only used when I was drunk, which was (usually) at night. The only people awake were Americans/Canucks/Brasilians/Chinese guys, and none of them were very good. I got a 20:1 ratio on that account, despite not ever playing sober while using it.
Also, while I won't name names, I'm sure most of you all know those guys who were consistently level 17+ or front page of the leaderboard, yet never got even close to winning a tournament.
