these are the number of players in every elo bracket on ps
youll notice that the number of players on bottom elo bracket is inflated - decay evens it out later on
working out ladder stats from the tiers' current peaks also inevitably adds a lot of variance. monotype, for example, currently has one guy with over 200 higher elo than the rest of the ladder (???)
the data is a few months old at this point, but the general trend that each 100 elo benchmark has about 2x the players as the previous one should remain about accurate
