bit of a stretch there

The gab definitely isn’t smaller but what you can say it’s easier to bridge right? I honestly think it’s easier to go from bronze to master than it was from 5.5 to 7k

I'd guess most people given enough time can raise their capabilities to GM whereas there's only very few 7k players despite many others putting in just as much time and effort. But percentile-wise GM is 0.1-0.2% / total, while out of 200 GMs if 2-4 are 7K then that's ~1-2% of GMs

Also on "the gap" I'd MUCH rather bet on a top 100 GM player to take a game from Serral or Maru vs a bronze taking a game from Masters provided everyone's trying their best

We're working on different definitions I think. The gap I mean is the difficulty scale. I think its harder to go from top masters to 7k than it is to go from bronze to masters.

Yeah, I think of the gap as the skill differential, the best/only objective measure in sc2 being your ability to win. But even going by your definition, if 0.1% of all are GM and 1% of GMs are 7k it'd be statistically easier to bridge the gap from GM to 7K also

Percentage wise certainly. There will be more people making it to masters than there are people making it 7k, which was how I was thinking of it.

Well yeah but that's not much representative of a gap, otherwise you could argue that the gap between the best and the next top 5 is always larger than the top 5 vs rest of the world of any discipline, since only 1 is the best at a given point in time.
