Enjoy some MTL statistics portrayed in a way you haven't seen before and feel free to add your own. I base my ones on clan-related metrics and the mastery titles system I proposed. It considers the highest rating ever achieved and goes as follows:
Grandmaster (GM) from 2100 onwards International Master (IM) from 2000 to 2099 National Master (NM) from 1900 to 1999 Candidate Master (CM) from 1800 to 1899
It's originated in the mastery titles system the FIDE features for chess players and takes into account comparable appropriate distribution (there must be much more IMs than GMs, much more NMs than IMs and so on). The alternative GM norms I rejected, 2200 (100 higher) or 2000 (100 lower) that seemed imaginable, I opted against because one would produce too few GMs for an own category (5) and the other too many to be the highest title (41). With the norm I picked, 2100, 18 players would be GMs as of today. This seems adequate relative to the player base and is close to the number of chess players that were awarded the GM title when it was first introduced by the FIDE, which was 27.
This thread can also be used as a platform for discussion on these things. Now go and find your name! :)
*The player Licota is identical to Octane, so to correct the number in my first post, the true GM count is 17. I will not consider this alt account in any further statistics.
Sorted by clans, the following clans have the most GMs (in case of tie, ranked by highest rated player):
