ranking oddity / question

[ndemic]

Question about how the ladder / points scoring works.

I am 11th in Master League - playing against someone who is 3rd in the master league.

First game - I beat him. I get 10 points, he loses 7 points.
2nd game - he beats me - I lose 18 points, he gains 27 points

I get that you should get more point if you beat someone better than you - but officially at least, his ranking is higher than mine.

Is this working as intended?
