But I don't mean to derail the thread, I think the idea is pretty good but there shouldn't be a prize pool as mentioned before, otherwise it's too much incentive for someone to set up a smurf. | ||

I doubt a 10$ itunes gift card would isntigate cheating D: But on the flip side, it'll be a trophy for the one who wins!

Well... yes and no... it all depends, you never know, a D- rank player can win this and all and move up to be C- by the end. BUT! Who can deny the fact that this person has won the league, learned and improved his skills while being in the league, and become a legitimate C ranking player thanks to his experience to this league? This league can be used as a tool to help and improve one's self to rise up to be a better SC player and perhaps, who knows, he can be the one who will surprise us in the end with an A iccup rank! ^_^ Besides, he'll have that "title" we'll give to all our winners of each league and be acknowledge as the winner of that one league on every single Starleague event we host! :D | ||

Well, I am only bringing out the concept of it out now before ppl start going confused and all when I bring up the sign up thread. It's all a formality here and I am at the same time, using this thread as a base to get some core group of people willing to help out the league. I am also want to see some user feedback from our fellow TLers of how to have this league in the most relaxed exciting method. So this thread does serve its purpose not by the poll which is an extra since I plan to make one anyway, but by the suggestions, ideas, and further opinions given. On a plus side, I was able to find my first possible sponsor to this league if I ever decide and plan to use it as part of motivation to gather players to join.... but that is up to also user's decisions here to have such a reward or not... | ||

I'll be doing multiple roles for this if it happens, being the host, organizer, streamer, player and etc! The whole league will be designed just for us D ranking players hoping to improve and find matchups toward other D ranking players to play and experience with fellow skill level! So yea, definitely! | ||

#1 It probably won't get too much attention. Yes D players will be interested in it but anybody higher than D+ will have no motivation at all to watch crappy games (speaking for the majority). Even D players won't wanna watch each others' crappy games. I predict that it would start off with like 30 people watching one random stream to start and by the last match of the tourney hardly any will be watching. #2 Like CaucasianAsian mentioned there will be no real way to determine ranks. If there are actual prizes involved I'm sure many above D+ players will lie about their rank so they can just steal the prizes. #3 Sc2gg did something like this as well before. | ||

I am actually planning to start this sometime around early January if possible... or maybe even as early as late December but that would be really pushing it... so sometime in January is definite.... | ||

We may even see potential TSL qualifier materials (more like future c- lolol) if we get a big enough viewer turnout during the league. After all, who wouldn't want to give their best in front of the fans? If you want to see gg's, get more people to come watch. | ||
