You and I both know traditionally "on West" means "on West gateway" which is meaningless nowadays, if you meant "on the West coast/Latin America that routes to West coast and hypothetically catches Koreans more so than Europeans" then yea maybe. At the end of the day, Sabbath, if he is living in Argentina, will most likely match fewer Koreans than someone living in California and (probably, not 100% sure on the infrastructure optimization) around the same if not less than people living on the East coast. He is far more likely to hit other people close to him geographically (Latin America) than he is to hit West Coast, East Coast, or Koreans.

Fair enough. TBH - I have been away for years, started Remastered last week and the day after I joined they made ladder global. So I am pretty ignorant. I thought the old, I play on west because I'm in the west, was still relevent.

My bad.

All good!

Just to clarify, they made ladder MORE global recently, it seems. So, what you're saying is close to the truth, no doubt.

Hmmm, do the rules state that we must all play at least 20 games?

If not, my best shot is to keep rejoining and hope for a high placement score.

I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong
I registered as bsl7-janitor
I'm like 4-7 in ladder (I suck)
But I'm not listed on the standings page on the bsl site
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

I absolutely agree with a 20 or 30 game minimum -- it stops people from trying to game the placement to artificially inflate mmr going 5-0. It also stops people trying to game the system on the last day of the ladder as well. It would also stop people doing other clever things (one could go 4-0 on a bunch of accounts now, avoid decay and then just need to win 1 single game on the last day of the ladder).

ya 20 game minimum is enough, but necessary (at least unless we have a 1 account per user rule ).

Yeah, the 5-0 concept really goes against the concept of wanting to initiate ladder activity and to drive people to improve even further. With 20 games minimum you have to improve in order to increase your MMR, with 5-0 you only need to get lucky at your current skill. No real improvement required.

Love the ladder stage, but I agree that there should be a minimum requirement for games played to be a valid contestant.
It's ok. I still love you <3

For reference I'm currently at 2050 on my BSL account with 30+ games played, and playing 'legit' at my current skill level, I picture myself having a very hard time getting above 2150. Earlier in the season on another account however I went 5-0 in placement matches and got 2240 from that.

We decided to extend a minimum 20 games rule for Proleague and Gosuleague too.

IF you want to qualify for Proleague or Gosuleague, you should have minimum 20 games played in your BSL-Account.

We believe it will support healthy competition over abusing placement matches.

Thanks a lot.

Not only do I respect your strength as a broodwar player.

I respect the quickness with which you addressed a gameable flaw.

I hope to qualify for a league where that matter.

Thanks for lending your weight on the topic Eri - I am bouncing between 1850-1880 with a peak ability of 1920-1930 and got really disheartended when I saw how many people can go 5-0 and end up 2200.
