People were joking before about allowing Nina to play in this because she'd dominate, but now there's plenty of players better than her who've signed up. Even Talent playing doesn't seem unfair now, but if he signed up weeks ago it would have been ridiculous.

The league was never made for specifically D ranks, that was obvious from the get go. I just made a tournament for lower ranked people and it turned out most of the interested audience was C ranks. The format being decided upon will not reward teams that have only C ranks. People may whine about who gets to play and who doesn't, but the only outcomes are:

1) Only D rankers: Maybe 3 teams sign up?
2) D ranks and C ranks: Our current position
3) All ranks: Who the heck knows. It would be so one sided it wouldn't even be worth organizing.

@Siz)Beggar Didn't you reach B- back in the day?

@Team Sexy Gladiators http://iccup.com/en/starcraft/gamingprofile/MX[raGe].html mx[rage] and
http://iccup.com/en/starcraft/gamingprofile/Eptenax.html Epetenax will not be able to play in the tournament. You may have signed them up as coaches or coordinators,I just wanted to be sure that everyone was on the same page.

@samsung865 Just being completely honest here, your iCCup account seems really sketchy. Also the fact that you posted from a 4 post account. Anyway, we're just double checking your status.

@Everyone The format will be posted tomorrow after we finalize some things. I'm having help from the amazing ggrrg so that things will be as balanced as possible. Teams that have 1 or 2 D rankers, I'm giving you a fair and final warning: Recruit more D ranks or you will receive a W.O. in that tier.

That's fine though.

It's only because no one on our team is recruiting anyone. We just need two decent C ranks and we're solid.

Are you forgetting to include this profile that is B- now?

http://iccup.com/en/starcraft/gamingprofile/Art_Of_Eptenax.html (B- on Oct 10th which is 4 days before Shimy opened this thread)

Also, another player that you put as 'C': msj[clickmer] was B- a few seasons back.

http://iccup.com/starcraft/gamingprofile/[SC1f]ClickMer.html [copy and paste url to make it work]

That's 3 different people in your team that you added that you 'claim' are C+ or lower...

So you're saying the rule should be "Never hit B until season 36, ranks after that don't matter" ?

What's the point of rank constraints? What's the point of the new ICCup system at all then?

Yeah, after Season 36, ranks don't matter. The new iCCup system is to encourage a high number of games played on the server. You simply rank up by playing a lot of games, which no longer reflect skill level at all. D- and B+ are equivalent.

Makes sense for raising activity. Decrease point losses, increase point gains, decrease ladder anxiety, increase player population.

Makes no sense for a competitive ranking system. Let's say I was C- back then and I am worse now but I play 100 games against D ranks, according to what I've heard I'll hit B-. But a person who was C- back then, improved to the point of being around B- by the old standards, they can play 50 games and also hit B- like they would have under the old system. This makes it impossible to differentiate between the two. The only real difference is activity level in the current seasons. Am I understanding this correctly?

If it's impossible to differentiate between former C- players who are still C- (by the old ranking) and C- players who are now B- players (again, by the old ranking), then rank restrictions have become irrelevant. People who might still qualify for the tournament based on skill are disallowed because they are active and have hit B-, people who would not qualify based on skill are allowed because they aren't active enough. I guess it's the same issue as in prior leagues, just with another wrench thrown in the works.

It just all seems so goddamn stupid :/

EDIT: @Yaqoob: If he was being sarcastic, I didn't get that impression. Hyperbole maybe (D- and B+ being equivalent, obviously an exaggeration). But the truth is the new system IS skewed, no? Ranks have been inflated? Even mishin hit C-.
