Gone are the days where we refer to players as a "Ladder Hero" as a derogatory term referencing their struggle toward a goal of little meaning or value! Competition breeds ingenuity, hard work and skill! And EU Ladder Heroes is here to increase the competition!

This is a Blizzard sponsored event now as they are providing the bulk of the prize pool. Big thank you to Blizzard for supporting this project.

This event will begin starting July! Keep an eye out on the website for additional updates!

You can catch the stream for the broadcast here:
http://www.twitch.tv/feardragon64

Be sure to keep up to date with the amazing website run by Troy Pavlek.

OFFICIAL LADDER HEROES WEBPAGE

EU Ladder Heroes is a system to incentivize players to give more meaning to their ladder practice. This is heavily based off its sister event, NA Ladder Heroes which takes place on the North American server with an identical format. The system is split up into two parts that tie into each other. I will note that all of the values listed are the base prize pool values and may increase depending on both patreon and my own contributions to the prize pool. The total prizepool for the entire month for both weekly and monthly rewards is $1,000 USD.

1) Weekly Ladder competition
  • Every(or close to every) Saturdays at 11:59pm CEST, the top 20 registered players on the European Grandmaster list will be awarded points for finishing at the top of the ladder. Higher placement will result in more points earned. Point values will be as follows.
    + Show Spoiler +
    1st - 23 point
    2nd - 21 point
    3rd - 20 point
    4th - 19 point
    5th - 17 point
    6th - 16 point
    7th - 15 point
    8th - 14 point
    9th - 12 point
    10th - 11 point
    11th - 10 point
    12th - 9 point
    13th - 8 point
    14th - 7 point
    15th - 6 point
    16th - 5 point
    17th - 4 point
    18th - 3 point
    19th - 2 point
    20th - 1 point

  • The top 6 registered players will also win $50/$30/$20/$20/$15/$15 respectively for that week of the ladder competition.

2) Monthly Finals From Ladder Qualifications
  • Every month, the top 12 point holders from the weekly ladder competition will be invited to a monthly tournament with a $400 prizepool. The event will take place during a single day.
  • The tournament will be a single elimination with every round but the Finals being a Bo3 & the Finals being Bo5. A Bo3 3rd/4th place match will also be played before the finals.
  • The top 4 players are seeded one round in(into the ro8). Seeding is done in accordance to points that qualified them.
  • The tournament will pay out $200 to 1st, $75 to 2nd, $50 to 3rd, $25 to 4th. and $12.50 to 5th-8th.

Please note this event is constantly adapting and thus, everything here is subject to change.

[image loading]

Players will submit registration to participate in the event. Approved players will be added to a registered players list and will be subject to banned permanently from the event if they break any of the rules.
  • No Barcodes/Shared Accounts - Registered players agree to use an account that displays their real username(no barcodes) and agree that no other player or person will use the account for a ranked ladder match at any point. You also may not use name changes during the competition unless approved by me.
  • Publicly Listed Players - Registered players will be publicly displayed on the website, as well as players who have been banned from participating due to rule breaks.
  • Don't Be a BIG Jerk - I reserve the right to ban players from the event that show excessive levels of bm during ladder games(I will be very reasonable about this. I'm not going to ban you for dropping manner mules or offensive gg'ing. Just don't be dumb and start doing things like using racial slurs, extremely personal attacks, etc.)
  • Don't Be An idiot - Players of course agree not to hack/mod/stream cheat/etc.
  • Reregister if you name change - Ladder Heroes is tracked via an automated system. If you name change you need to reregister your new account name with me and justify the change.
  • This is not NA Ladder Heroes - Registering for NA Ladder Heroes is not the same as registering for EU Ladder Heroes and vice versa! You must sign up for each individually!
  • Winners send me replays - Every week I may do a "top replays from the winners" show and I may ask the top 6 to send me a replay of their favorite game that week. You don't have to send me your super secret build. Just a replay that would be fun to watch.

To register, send an email to feardragon64 [ at ] gmail [ dot ] com with the the subject line "EU LADDER HEROES APPLICATION" and the following information in the body:
  1. Your most well known username
  2. A link to the battle.net account you will use for the event
  3. The paypal account you would like to be paid at
  4. A replay of at least 15 minutes in length for identity verification/hotkey analysis if accused
  5. The best way to reach you(skype preferred, otherwise e-mail address, etc.)

Registered Players

Viewable over at http://www.ladderhero.es

History can be viewed on the (Wiki)EU Ladder Heroes liquipedia page or on the Ladder Heroes webpage.

The Prize Money/Patreon

Currently, the total prizepool between the weekly and monthly totals to $1000 per month. However, each month will actually have a slightly larger prize pool based on Patreon contributions.

With the additional funds I'm using there, I may increase the total prizepool for a particular month based on the percentage values listed above. Of course, as with everything, this is subject to change in the future and it is simply where I'm currently spending the patreon money I'm getting. If you do decide to contribute to the Patreon, the replays for the monthly finals will be available to those contributing at least $10. A link to the Patreon can be found here:

1) What About North America/Korea/South America/SEA/Etc?
I will start by saying that ALL players from ANY region are allowed and encouraged to participate, regardless of your citizenship, residency, etc. The only inherit requirement is that you of course have to be in the Europe's grandmaster list. However, if you are interested in playing on the NA Server, NA Ladder Heroes is also around and you are free to particulate in both NA and EU Ladder Heroes. If you can place in both then more power to you.

2) Won't maphackers/win traders/etc. just win?
Keep in mind every player participating *has* to register for this. A strict list will be maintained and anyone caught maphacking, win trading, cheating, etc. will be perma banned from the list and listed in the "banned" section of this thread. This is to ensure the participants able to earn any money will not be map hackers.

3) Can I play in both NA and EU Ladder Heroes?
Yes! If you can keep up your ranking on multiple servers then more power to you. Just remember to register for both individually!.

I've added tentative Ladder Lock dates for July. These dates are not final because the 3 week season makes things a bit odd and it's hard to predict when grandmaster will actually be open at this point. For now, consider the ladder lock dates:
Saturday July 2nd, 9th, 23rd and 30th at 11:59pm CEST

Now is the time to register! This new season should have given players a new name change if that's what you were waiting on. More info can be found here:

It's been a little while but BIG update. Ladder Heroes is going back to ranking players by POINTS rather than by MMR. After 2 months and a LOT of feedback from players, we decided we didn't want to rank players by mmr due to the loose activity requirements and the fact that the system incentives players to not play. While the point system has its own flaws, I hope it'll create a better competition regardless.

TRACK THE NEW STANDINGS OVER ON THE LADDER HEROES WEBSITE SINCE YOU WILL NO LONGER BE ABLE TO USE GRANDMASTER IN GAME TO SEE THE STANDINGS!
http://www.ladderhero.es


This change is effective immediately and will affect all of September Ladder Heroes for both NA and EU.

The new season is starting soon! If you were hesitant about joining before because you didn't want to make up the difference in points, now is the best time to! You'll also have a free name change available soon with the new season I believe so great time to get in on things! WCS off season also means less to compete in so give it a shot!
