A money map ladder sounds really fun. I just wish there was a 3:3 ladder somewhere TT There's no 3:3 ladders anywhere

If there was some way to do 4v4 BGH on that ladder, I'd shit my pants. That would be sooooo much fun.

I think people are critizing to much simply because its a new ladder. The guy running it, Spartan, appears to be making huge attempts to modify and adjust it to what the community is looking for. Who cares if its got a money section, you don't have to play it as they have a low ladder. Also if BWScanner is working, ask your opponent to use it. That and they are trying to come up with a launcher.

Not only that but the alternative is WGT or Gamei, WGT doesn't really count as their ladder is fucked anyway.

IA-Newb is a community builder, solid gamer, and one hell of a nice guy. I just wish he wasn't given the task of defending a ladder system with FMP as an official map and with no anti-hack measures in place.

As soon as the $$$ is taken out I'm all over that ladder, though. I've always been a West gamer and probably always will be (with the occasional foray into Europe for WGT and private servers for other ladders). VGT, or as it is called now BattleGround Ladder, needs to stop making a fool of itself with the money ladder ^^; Then all the players I've talked to who laugh at the FMP in the official map section will join en masse.

It was good of you to tell us about VGT IA-Newb, but I have to keep pushing for no $$$. I've made contact with some of the regular clans on west and they don't like the fact that it has FMP either.

Wow the stuff I see in the forums is so terrible. Especially the "strategy" forum? What the fuck is with that guy that gives his godly PvT advice? I mean I appreciate his effort into putting together something, but seriously, if you don't know what the fuck you're talking about, don't post it.

EDIT: Here is an example. This is actually above average in terms of skill.

When asked "what strats do you do in pvt?" this person responds

"i go a 3 cannon choke to hold rine rush then tech right to storm, which is followed by a 5 reaver recall and a speed z mass".

Nice strategy.

I like how the website stole a ton of buttons from www.worldofwarcraft.com.

Check it out look at "Log In" and other buttons, it's kind of funny.

actually the economy and build orders of money map games are very different because the cash flow is much, much faster

Hey wow, you're right! I guess they don't realize that those images are *copyrighted* and they most likely have no permission to use them...Wonder how happy blizzard would be to see that. I'm not going to be an ass and report it, but I'd suggest they get their own images ASAP.

yeah i started this ladder 2 days ago and im 17-0 and currently ranked #2 on the ladder. i will be first to actually testify (having tried it) that the level is extremely low and game-i gets you much better games. Its also very abusable and sort of a pain to report ur games. There is no way of checking if the player is actually registered on the site or to find out how high he is in the ladder except for having to check it manually urself (once again, kind of a pain) and there is no anti-hack in force on the ladder T.T

With that being said, its about 2x more mannered then game-i and about 50x more mannered then wgt and I rely like the admin team alot (very friendly) which imo makes it funner then the other two ladders but whenever i want to get into shape or want some serious practice, I will not be playing this ladder. I personally would like to see this ladder get alot better but that would require the money part of the ladder being taken out of the website and i do not think people like Spartan are redy to do that. Wherever this ladder goes, good luck to it.
