Today the ISP changed my static IP address without notification...
The new ladder address is: http://bots-stats.krasi0.com

On the bot ladder why does Xelnaga have such a high ELO? It is ranked #4 despite a 50% overall win rate and poor win/loss ratios against the top 2.

I think it's because of the impressive result against the third one (12 / 3) which has higher rating than Xelnaga. Also it has played too few games compared to the others so maybe its ELO hasn't converged yet.
Anyway I am willing to give out a DB dump to anyone who wishes to verify the calculations independently.

What bot is this KillerBot_2 coming out of nowhere with 85 percent wins and highest ELO as zerg. Is the DLL for this bot around to download? I noticed a few of the replays of it I tried to watch crash with win32 errors so they are corrupted somehow. The marian_devecka bot from scai site has pretty high win percent maybe it could join this ladder if that author wants.
Its nice to see a few good zerg bots maybe challenge the top protoss bots. Hopefully someday we will see bots play full games using all the units right now critical units like say defilers are not even used late game against terran. Though I will admit intelligently using dark swarms might not be easy to do.

This is exactly marian devecka's Z bot. It has some good muta + zergling rush tactic. You can use replay tool from BWAPI to fix the reps

I actually asked him for the DLL from the scai website for this bot and he sent me it. The problem though is the zerglings get stuck and it had some kind of pathing issues the build he sent me on standard iccup maps. Is there a way you can get his permission to upload the version of the DLL we see in these replays? If he made a new version it would be nice to not have to bother him for it but get it from here.

Come at the IRC chan #BWAPI @ FreeNode and we'll send it to you.
BTW did the replay tool work for you (fixing the broken reps)?

abcdefg, you sometimes need to stick in the IRC chan a little longer before anyone replies. The other option is to PM me with your e-mail and I'll send you the bot.

I know easier said then done, but killerbot would be a lot better then it is if it simply had the micro from the overmind bot for its mutalisks. It seems some units like mutalisks or dragoons could have the same micro in every bot it never really changes so why have each bot reinvent that? Killerbot does not micro its mutalisks and just with basic ling/mutalisk its still a very strong bot just by executing well and good scouting. Better mutalisk micro and maybe when it sees the enemy force move out it could dynamically figure out how many sunkens to throw down to stop it with lings while it gets to mutas.
Oh yeah and good job on your bot krasi is the best terran bot and is pretty good. Terran is probably the hardest race for a bot to play just because good engagements and positioning is the way to win games.
