Timebon3s 408 Posts October 17 2021 14:23 GMT #7943 What was the first bw ladder like? Was it the same elo system as now, or was the games purely random with points given for wins? Does anybody have pictures of what it looked like? I also heard you got massive points for winning FFAs. How did that work, was it 1v1 and ffa? 2v2 and 3v3s as well? I saw a zerg from denmark was best in 1v1 was that because he just 4pooled or something?

Jealous 8916 Posts October 17 2021 15:06 GMT #7944 First BW ladder was on Battle.Net. It used something like an Elo system. I don't understand what you could possibly mean by "games purely random." It used a lobby system. You host a game on a map you want, with a lobby title that you want, and people join. The game mode was 1v1 only. The FFA and massive points thing, maybe you are thinking of a different game, for example AoE2 and Voobly server. Overall, it was very similar in appearance to ICCup. 1 hatch builds were indeed popular but it wasn't all 4 pool. I don't recall any Zerg from Denmark being dominant ever.

Timebon3s 408 Posts October 17 2021 15:58 GMT #7945 Well I meant that it just queued you against random people regardless of rating and gave/took away points if you won or lost, of it was a more sophisticated system like we have today. But as I understand it wasn’t a queue like it does now since u had to host yourself. Thanks for explaining

The reason I asked if it was 4pool is because the cost for spawning pool was increased to 200 early on. Was this the reason for that maby? Edit: Nevermind, found everything on http://web.archive.org/web/20001204130700/http://www.battle.net/index.shtml Interesting to "take a trip down memory lane" as they say.

PachiBW 1 Post 6 hours ago #7947 I was trying to find a calendar to import the ASL S12 to my personal calendar, but when I search the calendar on Liquipedia they don't have the upcoming matches. They only have the historical matches which isn't particularly helpful since I want to add it to my personal calendar for reminders. However, when I view the ASL S12 Liquipedia bracket page it has matches listed under the "info" icon to the second so it seems to be drawing the data from somewhere. Does anyone know where it is drawing the data from so I can import it?
