Sure some people want to play together, but if one team consists just of players hitting the MMR limit it might get quite boring eventually. P.S: I assume the 24th will be no games?

For example I'm like 1500 mmr and would love to anchor one of the better players/team down to the "rookie" level Good suggestions. This is something I considered even in the first league, and although it would be more fair to spread all players out by MMR, it would be too hard of a task. Also it is really important in my opinion that people can play with their friends if they wish to form their own team. However, I will try my best to put the remaining players who do not have a team in groups with as equal MMR as I can. This is also another reason why I would like people to supply me with their starlog.gg profiles.

I definitely feel like I'm a mid-skilled player but peaked at 2k mmr a few months ago when i actually played. This is really a delicate predicament for me. Before making this thread, I was brainstorming what went wrong and what went right with my last league and for sure the most disliked parts of RTL1 was allowing stronger players into the league and also allowing B and above players enter with an offrace, so I wanted to be super careful to not reintroduce that experience for this league. I asked a few people on discord and on my battle.net friends list whom I regarded as decently strong players who could compete with me about their peak MMR and some of them floated around 2k. I was previously B rank on ICCup, and I do not want to have B ranked players in this league. Subsequently I had a conversation with people on discord moments ago that it is really hard to use MMR as a metric for skill as it is just wildly inaccurate in its current form. After talking to several people, I am moving it to a soft cap of 2k - but I will still require starlog.gg profiles. Basically, I am aiming for an ICCup "C" or below teamleague. If you're a previous B ranked ICCup user, if you can take games off the stronger foreigners (ie. Dandy, Dewalt, Bonyth, Eon, Trutacz, Ty2), and if you able to compete and put up a good record in other leagues with strong players like PATL, SKTL, or BWCL, this league isn't for you. That is basically what I'm trying to avoid in this league. This Sunday, I'm finalizing the poll choices and I'm setting everything in stone. | ||

That's pretty respectable, especially considering a sizeable portion of that comes from KR accounts. It's easily top 1% or better of all non KR players. On West that has you ranked almost in the top 500. | ||

TL;DR: MMR is a dumb metric and there doesn't really even exist a decent metric to scale people. Even H2H results are subjective af because Lumix is supposed to be garbage at any non-TvZ match-up, for example. Name value also don't mean shit as there are probably a hundred thousand unknown players out there who don't have TL accounts who could whoop my ass to Seoul and back and if ~C is the maximum rank for this league (based on another broken-ass metric) then I wouldn't be eligible even though last season I only managed to win a small handful of games and was probably below the mid-tier of skill. Also, never forget: ![[image loading]](https://i.imgur.com/hQPm5DO.jpg) EDIT: Oh okay I didn't see that you also said that MMR was a shitty rating scale @Faust. I also can't find the account I played with over the summer and subsequently deleted to make room for this one (tinyurl for clantag): https://tinyurl.com/y7pwjfhk I also have this one which I played random on: https://starlog.gg/en/profile/us-east/］2eti］2ed?v=ladder_stats | ||
