Great idea! It's alot more fun playing on some of these maps than the normal blizzard ladder deal. Of course, the more people that start playing games on this, the easier it will be to have mostly even matches. As for the whole question of protecting against win-trading, obs cheating, and rank editing, an actual server/client would probably help with this stuff - but even without anything like that I would hope that most people respect the system and realize that its just a game and that you're playing to have fun and/or improve, neither of which cheating helps with.

I created an account here just to post in this thread.

I was totally burnt out on Blizzard's ladder. I just couldn't take it anymore.]

Now I have hope. Me and a friend who had pretty much quit playing competitively, only playing customs, are now looking forward to this.

Excellent!

Things I'd love to see:

1) Matchmaking. Yeah, I realize it may be awhile, and this whole thing is in development, but an automated matchmaker would be so awesome.

2) Larger map pool. Or at least, rotate maps frequently. I think that 20 maps is a good pool, but if it has to be smaller, than at least change it up frequently so things don't get stale.

3) No Blizzard maps at all. Hate those. Use player created maps exclusively.

4) Change the name. I know, I'm kinda pissed at Blizz too for their ineptitude, but let's be diplomatic. Make a real name, instead of an insult towards Blizzard (even though they deserve it!) and let's see how popular it can get, and how serious people will take it.

Thank you so much for doing this, and good luck.

This is awesome, the channel has really started to pickup. My two friends and I will be using this a lot now, hopefully I can keep spreading the word.

Excuse my ignorance, but how exactly would a match maker work for this system? If it is possible, totally badass.

Great idea here. I appreciate the work you guys put into this. I would love to see iccup Match Point added. I wish that map was used more.

Thanks for the maps and I will try this out when I get a chance!

I doubt you can auto-matchmake, but finding matches in chat channels was never really that bad. Just took a bit more time. It worked fine for ICCUP no reason it shouldn't work for this.

Weren't Typhon, Shakuras, Metalopolis, and XNC made by blizzard? Or am I just having an old person moment. If they are maybe you could consider adding maps from Map of the month, or other maps such as neo enigma, or other ICCUP maps. Jus an idea... sounds great to me


The above maps were remade for GSL etc, and are very very similar. But have things like no close position spawns, and some have supply depots built & lowered on various ramps to prevent various types of Wall in's.

Would be awesome if you teamed up with iCCup, just giving the maps that name would make it 100x more popular

It's a good initiative, but it'll be hard to maintain a solid playerbase without marketing or something.

Well, all it really needs is a tournament with a decent prize pool, which adapts this ladder as qualification grounds for players. The bigger the tournament the better. But at this point, any tournament would be enough.

This is the best idea ever. A realistic and meaningful ladder and ranking system is what made the iCCup bw experience.

First of all I'd really like to see this on the EU region.

Secondly, I really think there should be more iCCup maps in the pool. The iCCup map pool is a greatly overlooked source for good maps.
