Well, for starters I can check your account career and exclude you if you ever were above gold in any ladder season... But if you really want to "pwn some noobs" that's okay, they're still bo5 matches and at most you'd be winning a game for your team when they need 3 to win the match. I don't think a troll would be that big of a deal, if anything shows commitment from the troll in participating in a league for a minimum 7 straight weeks without trolling anyone at all. And I'm okay with that.

I was a Diamond Terran EIGHT months ago. I quit for seven months, and came back playing Zerg. I'm a gold Zerg now, but I am strictly a gold zerg if you look at my match history, so I don't think checking careers should be the only thing to exclude the dishonest people..

Agreed on that, I was in Platinum 2 seasons ago myself. But I redid placement matches and played 5 bronzies in a row so I went 5-0

I meant that it's kinda easy to see if a Diamond player who was always Diamond gets demoted to a lower rank in the current ladder season just to play in this league. Of course season 1 ranks don't mean that much since it was easier to be higher ranked at the beginning of the game. Either way, my point is that by having a proleague format for the team matches, it gets hard to compromise the match if a higher ranked player is playing.

You also have to think about the fact that you will be on a team, practicing with them and such. Surely they would figure it out and kick you from the team, or at the very least not let you on the roster for the league. Actually i could still pretend through that. "Whats a 10 pool?" "Just build stuff" "O well, its about having fun :D" "O crap my base is mined out time to expand" You know what people do in hardcore d2? They make friends with people for like 2 months then stab each other in the back. I don't do that I've just heard stories. I actually think there are far fewer assholes like yourself than you imagine. Whatever, have fun trolling because 0 people will care.
LOL hopefully you are right. Could you at least come up with a good account name for me to sign up with? :D

Hmm that is a fairly resilient system yes hmm. How about me and my friends all go down to bronze and do it up?

I voted all-kill format, but after reading this, I think that a pro-league format would be beast, to avoid any smurfing.
Anyways, I'd be interested, I do lack a team though. If anyone wants me on their team for this team league,, hit me up! I play on EU, btw.

How would me 5-0 my placement matches (whom where all bronze) be alienating to them? I'm in a different league (Gold) than them so I wouldn't ever play them in this league.

We don't have an exact date right now, but after the teams are finalized, a few days after that it will most likely start barring unforseen issues.

No Bronze players as of yet though, unless EU division decides to change their league to fit this, but can always hope for an influx of players!

Nothing wrong with it, but if, say, a masters players used a smurf bronze account, he'd trash the competition, and that wouldn't be fair now, would it?
OT: Will we look at casting these games? If so, I'd love to be a caster, though I'd have to not stream, due to my internet being bad =/
(What I'm trying to say is that if we get like someone to stream and maybe cast, I'd be more than willing to cast with him)

It will be the pro-league format, that is decided already.
Obviously we would like it if someone would want to cast certain games, as this is the first season it isn't that large of a priority. If we do push for it later, it will probably be around when the playoffs take place.

Cool, it sounds awesome! I love when there are tournaments for "normal" players, like the playhem daily, and SCV rush among other things
