Players already naturally refer to it that way now when they say, "I am in diamond, but I am nowhere near pro level." I would hope the new league to be a more traditional ladder. No bonus pool please. I'm not so sure I like the idea of 'invitation only'. That would make it more like an 'elite club' than anything. What will likely happen is that Blizzard will promote only willing players that can be easily exploited for E-sports revenue. And by exploit, I mean it in the full sense of the word. I can see Blizzard saying, "Relax kid. Don't go to college. Keep working your pizza delivery job. Just keep playing Starcraft 2 really well so we can keep getting revenue off your games (revenue you won't see except for a pinch because young kids are financially stupid and can be manipulated)." That is my fear of what will happen. Pizza guys make a lot of money. Dave Ramsey approves | ||

Search times are bad already at random hours considering how popular the game is, so Ladders looks downhill. Hopefully you'll still be able to match others despite being in the league, else this is a terrible and bad idea. You aren't always matched against someone in your own league. | ||

Theres no way theres enough skilled players to fill a league at the level where most of the MLG/IEM players are playing at. if a league was composed of the top 100/200 at any one time there would be like 25/50 players on.. and how many of them would be searching for a match? make it top 500/1000 and your going to end up with a whole bunch of jobbers... keep in mind ~1800 points gets you into the top 500 in NA... | ||
