Does anyone know what the GP number means in your profile? The RP total is clear enough, since it just indicates your rank with every thousand points being a stone over 18k, but I haven't been able to figure out what the GP score has to do with anything.

It's not consecutive. Tygem divides players into classes and has them rank up/down with different win percentages of different numbers of games.

When you open up your stats, I think you should see next to the "1k+ 2k+" bar "Recent #". The number is the number of games it will take into account for your rank changes.

It changes based on the class of player you are, so higher rated players need higher win percentages among a higher number of games to advance.
