Hero of the Horde

I think it's safe to say this is the RBG equivalent of Gladiator

Blizz need to change this to a feat of strength, i think last season 10 people got this

Insanely hard to get due to blitz taking almost all the population for this

Calculating Hero of the Alliance

I recently posted this on the main WoW PvP BG forums, anyone else that could perhaps shed some light?

I’ve decided to try and reach this feat of strength during SL Season 1.

I’m currently monitoring pvpleaderboard dot com, and filtering for Horde and Hero of the Horde. However, as this site only gives the top rated 5000 players I wondered how accurate it may be?

My question… Hero of the Horde is a 0.5% achievement of the bracket, how do I calculate it?

- Where does the bracket begin? 0? 1400?
- How many people are between the highest ranked player and this minimum?
- If a player dips below minimum, say, 1400, how far until they’re not in the 0.5% calculation? 1350?
- Does the HOTH/A achievement count one faction or both? eg if 0.5% is a total of 500 players, is that 500 horde, 500 alliance or only 250 of each?
- How many players are in this bracket? Where can I try and figure this out to then calculate the 0.5% and therefore my current minimum CR to be within a chance of the achievement?

Thank you for any and all replies.

Kind Regards
