Отличный пост написал Ryan (основатель husng.com) на 2+2, на тему блокнутых топ регов и для чего это делается :The legions of lower players that play the game because xyz hero is crushing it. A good amount of players when deciding what game to play look to where successful, visible people are playing, then jump into that (not that it's the only reason, but a primary reason).
How many of you have tried a game like PLO or heads up cash because someone like Isildur won 5 million in it one month and it made headlines?
That sort of stuff. When good players block their stats, it leaves less profitable players on the leaderboards and to lesser knowledgeable players (read: new players, bad players) they are going to get the impression that the games are dying.
Whereas good players already know the Olivier Busquets and Dan Colmans of the world (and have know how well they've done in the past), know they are good and are crushing it. Blocking is only really going to fool the exact players (on average) that everyone should want to start playing HUSNGs.
I see posts all the time on beginner and weaker strategy forums about how HUSNGs are hard, how they are filled with crazy variance and how only pros should play them. That's the exact opposite of what anyone should want for the game (and it's not true either, many low stakes players that take the time to improve and stay disciplined do pretty well in this game).
Plus, historically, when good cash players come over to HUSNGs they don't really fair that well (same with good HUSNG players going into HS HU Cash). They tend to play too high, not take the time to learn the intricacies and differences in the games, and they give their opponents too little respect. Even when they do put in time studying, not all that many do too well. There are obviously some good cash players that came over and win in HUSNGs now, but there are multiples more for each of those winners, and those muliples have lost a good bit before quitting.
And of course, all your good HUSNG opponents know you're good with or without blocked stats. Good players don't really judge you based on if you're up 400k or 550k this year, they know you're successful and they will judge you based on how you two match up (at the highest levels I mean).
That's why I believe it's good for the games to have the most successful players showing their stats, not hiding them.
I'm really talking just about guys that would make the main Sharkscope leaderboard. It doesn't really matter if you block if you wouldn't be on that because outside of that main leaderboard, the average new player/bad player that we want to start playing HUSNGs isn't going to be looking deeply at $100 buyin leaderboard filters and individual players too much.
