But best thing of cause, would be to have one big bad ass division with everyone from Diamond, instead of divisions, or instead of those shitty battlegroups they figured out were such a success in WoW. A hint as to why they're doing this I think. | ||

There are some apparent correlation between patches and discussion that were had on Team Liquid. The Starcraft 2 development team listens to these thread and they sometimes make change related to them. On the subject though, I don't have any gripe with the ladder system. I think ratings are trivial and only matter when used to match a player against a player of similar skill. In my experience, that works. Knowing your rating relatively to others serves only to indicate improvement or decrease. I see the ladder as being adequate. Having a global ladder with a single division would not necessarily be more accurate. It would however, be far more crowded. As for the top players, isn't the the professional league? | ||
