Looks like this is a very unfortunate requirement. Many Plat+ players are interested in such a tourney (probably many more hiding in noob clothing).
We either gotta convince the host to change the requirement or luck out...or...

TBH, this is a horrible way at least at this point to prove rank. Considering how many players probably just blew placement games to rank low and grind vs lower ranked players(see 1/3 of D level iccup players).
Or the fact that people may have been screwed by doing placement matches in unstable Bnet times shoving them in a league weaker than themselves.
Or how resets happend every few weeks so this stated factors couldn't be diminished(for lack of a better word).
Or how most of the educated TL members agree that the entire league system has alot of flaws.
Or how players could just make new TL accts to put an image of newbiness when they could be quality players.

My point is that the BNET metal system is not accurate at displaying skill level, yet. Who knows after the game comes out.

I suggest as another player said earlier that you should be able to invite any player who havn't seemed to appear in any US tounaments. I can't imagine the list being very large to have to figure out. This can also give good but unknown players an option of acheving e-fame. Sort of like a minor league.

*prime example would be that after one reset 2 of my placement matches were just given to me. The opponents just purposful lost or just left the game after a few minutes. This means that i could be placed in Plat while only having the skill of a Gold level player. And vice versa the players who throw their matches could be Gosu but still in gold.

I agree with the past two posters 100%

But i can assure you that that tournaments without strict ways of enforcing and confirming skill level you will encouter smurfs(creating new accts to grind vs weak players). Iccup has a huge problem of this which discourages me of even using Iccup. While you can't have multiple accts with one SC2 key the concept still applies.

I actually think that with a cash prize you will have more Good players fakeing weakness then playing with players your own skill level.

Here is a suggestion. Try doing group stage play. Or double or even triple elimantion rounds. Some system where you will get plently of acutal games in the tournament feel.

To be honest, any players above Gold should just go play in the hundreds of tournaments available for them. Thanks to the people who are finding the liars in this thread

i dont think its about e-fame, for me, its about wanting to play people around my skill level in a tournament environment and learning to deal with the pressure.

that's exactly why i signed up for this and i'm sure this is why the other gold or lower level players signed up as well. most tourneys have platinum and diamond level players and it just won't be fun for the lower level players to participate in those because we'll just get roflstomped.

for there to be a gold level tourney like this gives us "noobs" a chance to have some fun and compete with each other in a tournament setting.
