WHAT THIS SITE IS

Darwin Stalker tracks competitive Darwin Project — every recorded scrim set, a live ladder rating for every player, full game-by-game scoreboards, player profiles with career histories, and the complete tournament archive from the game's 2018–19 heyday.

Nothing here is hand-ranked. Ratings are computed from the set log, standings are rebuilt from the source data on every sync, and name changes are merged so a player's record follows them.

WHERE THE DATA COMES FROM

Scrim seasons S1 + S2
The community-run scrim seasons, imported from the score sheets and reconciled set-by-set. S2 was the live season through July 2026; its final ladder is archived and its top finishers carry permanent profile trophies.

Darwin Pro League (current)
New sets are recorded on this site by the moderator team and priced into the current DPL season's ladder as they publish. DPL S1 is complete — its final standings are permanent — and DPL S2 is coming soon.

The 2018–19 tournament archive
The Top 100 Tournament series (events 1–24, with the gold/silver skin winners you see highlighted across the site), plus iShock, Cherry Blossom, and DPL-qualifier brackets — standings, prize money, per-game detail where the source sheets carry it. Browse it under TOP 100 and TOURNAMENTS.

EU points league
The EU community's points-scored rounds, with a reconstructed rating for its ladder tab.

HOW THE RATING WORKS

The archived S2 ladder used a rank-based ELO: every set's placements, kills, and damage score into set points, and your rating moves by where you finished against the field. The full per-set chain is browsable on every profile.

The DPL seasons use Glicko-1, which also tracks how certain the system is about your rating. New and returning players are marked provisional until they've played enough, and the displayed number starts conservative and climbs as the system learns your level. Details on the DPL page.
