What does 2800 USATT vs 2600 USATT look like

Ok let's compare with a euro player, Hampus Nordberg. Hampus is a french Pro A regular since a while now in Angers Wolves. He's currently ranked FFTT 3334.25 this month. As I've previously said, since the FFTT ranking has changed it has inflated a lo since the rising of the Bros.

To me there's now a big gap in the USATT system located near the 2400/2500 area.
I think players ranked over this mark are arguably Pro A/B and Bundesliga A/B player, means european pros. They could get a pro contract there easily. But any USATT ranked between 2000 and 2400 would not get any chance to get hired by the european pro teams. Hampus has performed well last month in Pro A beating Freitas for example

Based on the clip I'd pick the 2800 to win a match, but not with any confidence. A drill can't show 2800 vs 2600 or really anything except these guys are not hobby players. Have to see them play a few games.

I do have some friendly matches between the two.
well, the 2800 9 out of 10 times will win. 2600 on a good day maybe. there is a level gap.

here is the 2800's record in his 3 US tournaments for some idea or how he fairs with other 2600 players

I feel the gap is smaller, the big gap starts from between 2500~2600 imo

Taiwan, or at least Songshan has hosted near a dozen 2500~2600 rated players (players from USA, Canada, Australia who all have plenty of USATT matches).

I think players ranked over this mark are arguably Pro A/B and Bundesliga A/B player, means european pros. They could get a pro contract there easily.

I have registered quite a few players in Germany, 2400~2500 is like hu heming, low win rate in 4th division Germany, and more likely a 5th division player (which he has a more higher win rate). He could maybe play 3rd division as the weakest player and there is no ways he will survive 2nd or even 1st division.

I have a 2500~2600 in 4th division this year with a high win rate.
I know of a 2800 in the 3rd division with all wins.
I have a 2800 in the 2nd with 5 win, 1 loss, 83% win rate (despite being injured during that period).
I have two 2800 in the 1st, and here the win rate is not accurate, due to some opponents being 2700 and some 3000
Chang Yu-An and Huang Yen-Cheng both having 2 win and 1 lost during they debut season in the TTBL.

I do not know how Pro B's level is like, but I do have a good idea of Germany (and its TTR).
a 2400 USATT, with 2200 TTR can't even be placed in an average 2nd division German team, need at least a 2350 TTR to be a solid 1 or 2 player in 2nd division and 2400+ to be in the higher win range.
