Are the first 10 games played against random league players or are they considered "leagueless" and will limit you to only playing other people who aren't in a league yet? I can imagine someone getting lucky matchups against bad players and winning 10 games in a row, then being placed too high in the league system. Game stats like APM aren't really a good measure of skill either, so I'm sure the launch will be similar to a new iccup season then get fleshed over time. They could easily make the intro games be against league players. Something like this: First four games you go up against bronze, if you win all you go up to silver. Then next four games you go against silver, if you win all you go up to gold. If you lose 3 in a row you go down again, and if you don't move you will stay till you have 80% wins/losses in that league and then you will get moved. After ~10 games you will be placed in the appropriate league on one of the lower divisions. Also this system would be totally worthless if it did not give you different medals for different races since if you were platinum zerg and silver terran and played a lot of terran then you would basically have to munch through two leagues with zerg to get back. So instead I would guess that if you off race it would do like normal and give you the 10 initial games and then place you in the appropriate league. So then when you watch a players profile you can see how rounded he is too, like "bronze zerg, silver terran, pro protoss". | ||

I mean words from blizzard themselves, if there will be one server for the world or many servers? 1 server for the whole world is bad for lag, it is better to have 4 different servers with much less lag and instead have world championships now and then like they do for wc3. | ||

That is already happening in wc3, Europe and Asia have noticeable harder ladders than the US servers. Do not worry, people will know of this. | ||

hmm. I was just thinking maybe since technology is better now, they could find a way to help lag and make one big server. that'd be cool =/ | ||

Hopefully they have some kind of "rank play mode" and "non rank play" general mode with a more universal player pool. There'll always be the ability to make custom games if you feel like not being ranked. You don't always have to use the ranked auto-match system. | ||

At the battle.net panel, Rob Pardo stated that there will be regions, but nothing final has been decided yet. Basically only confirmed that it won't be 'one server for the whole world'. | ||

That allow Blizzard to keep the professional games ranked inside the Battle.net system, they stated many times that they want to be more involved in the professional gaming scene for sc2. | ||

Well, they have something like that for wc3, a ladder for only the best players. | ||

I think, if i remember properly rfom the battlenet blizzcon panel, his profile said something like "Bronze Zerg" or something | ||
