EPTWouldn't it make sense to only look at the account that was active for last 3 months for example? Or maybe do a ladder stage like for BSL. :-)

Wouldn't it make sense to only look at the account that was active for last 3 months for example? Or maybe do a ladder stage like for BSL. :-) We will definately pick the active accounts only. Ladder stage using the new accounts would solve this completely, but initially we though that it's a bad idea to make players register the new accounts and lose time raising their MMR, because most of players are adults and have things to do (work, family, etc). Maybe we just need to set a minimum games to consider an account 'active'. Which number do you think would make sense? Maybe 50 games during last month? So players below that would have to advance via Qualifiers. | ||

When population was bigger, I was at around 2700~ peak, but as population started to drop I went back to 2450~ MMR. Since then I haven't played much or at all, as it's nearly impossible to find games. What I mean is, some players may register with their old accounts and mmr's that are not possible to achieve anymore.. I was also advised that if I rise my MMR that would guarantee me a spot in top8 for PRO series, but it's very difficult just because of the fact that there are no games to be found vs no-koreans at 2400+ level. Some players are using VPN to get games vs koreans, but I wasn't succesful for me so far. Wouldn't it make sense to only look at the account that was active for last 3 months for example? Or maybe do a ladder stage like for BSL. :-) Absolutely agree here. There's lot of people who have 2400++ from older accounts but the truth is, getting past 2400+ now and maintaining it is really hard. Someone could use an old 2800 account, play a few games, lose them, and still be at 2600 and would easily qualify. I would anticipate the "top 8" will be like 2350-2550 if we're talking active and recent accounts. Though, the strategy would be to peak really high (e.g. if you get a lucky streak to get you at 2500 and then stop playing). That's why using a new "SL-" tag might make the most sense but REQUIRE all players to get a minimum of 50 or 60 games in their accounts. And I get it - not everyone has time to play that much for ladder. But let's be honest here - you're not getting in the top8 if you can't play at least 50 games (on a fresh ladder acct)... | ||

how frequently will this be held? Future seasons have not been announced, but let's see how this one will go and how much people will be attracted. | ||

On the other hand, now we have two tourneys that compete with each other, our very own msl/osl. Blizzard needs to bring a lot though, before they're on par with zzzero. | ||

I m looking at the open series as I m way below 2000 but I agree too. May be 50 is a bit high but there should definitely be a minimum numbers of games played and i think 30 is good enough. Having to register with a new account like for bsl is good too: easy to track where you are in relation to others, easy to add friends/practice partners around your level (since you can find their accound through starlogg). It s also quite motivating as you feel you are part of the tournament (if that makes sense?), for bsl it motivated me to keep playing. It also helps with the admin side of things. At any case those are great initiatives, thank you! | ||

So if I haven't played on my main account for 3 months, then I can't participate in open tournament? I don't know if I should register. I have 1997 mmr currently on my main account Situation is tricky. Why don't you just play some games? | ||
