About the name change: well, might as well give credit where it's due to the creator...the Bacon league? in fact, it barely changes the original name you have now (from NTBL to TBL) xD.

Personally I think you should stay away from Auto-Matchmaking. Without the AMM feature it forces people into the channel to find games. Suddenly we have active chat channels. When I played this last night I was hanging out in the channel talking about games... joining other games to watch people play. Doing re-matches. It feels like BW. I worry that AMM would take away the personality of a system where you have to find someone you want to play with.


I prefer AMM because it makes it easier to find games. The channels aren't all that good for this, at least not with SC2BW.

I strongly support this idea, by the way. I've been hoping for something like this for months. I knew it was only a matter of time!

The NTBL channel is actually rather active.

This, 67 ppl in it already and were at two days.

This is helping a ton of people who hate ladder.

Cant wait for match making, going to be epic.

People are all asking for matchmaking, but I'm pretty sure this is impossible with the current state of the Blizzard API. If someone knows otherwise do tell. I certainly hope bacon can find a way around this.

You dont have to do it through the game, you can do it through the website, have everyone in a chat room and have a program do the matchmaking, you get matched then you go in game and play the person.

As bacon stated, matchmaking is planned after we get automatic replay uploading working. Likely this will occur using the same client that uploads replays. You will either press a key combination which will be detected or alt-tab and press a button on the client to ask for a matchmaking game. After a short period of time (hopefully enough people will play that it can be short) the client will play a sound, and display a notification. It will then both display the name of a chat channel where you can meet your partner and copy it to the clipboard so you can paste it directly into the channel name. This will avoid having to add your partner to a friends list etc.

Played, it's not bad. Hopefully we can keep up the activity though until it's finished (until then it's not bad to just find some matches with like minded people )

If you could have everyone on your website sign in and then click a button to basically search for an opponent hopefully similar to your skill level and then it spits out a map and your opps name and char code for a game. Then you start it up and you can have the report option afterward it basically would look something like this. Super rough but just an idea.

you should give like a 10s or 15s grace period for people to leave the game without losing points if people lie about their rating or whatever

ICCUP gave people like 2min or something...can't remember the exact amt.
In Hungry Hungry Hippos there are no such constraints—one can constantly attempt to collect marbles with one’s hippo, limited only by one’s hippo-levering capabilities.
