Somehow the OP does not mention the server it's played on... I take that it is going to be EU, since it's entry fee is in Euros and most the players are on EU... But Major and Catz are both participating.

And, a slight workaround for the rule that you cannot smurf would be to just play on the other servers (with lag) for practice. Or you could always make an anonymous smurf and I doubt they'd be able to figure it out

NA is a lot easier to get a high rank because there arent as many good players, I assume it is going to based off EU ladder
I plan to live forever, so far so good!

This is a great idea, putting the ladder to some good use as well! Hope to be able to watch some action!

The fact that there's a buy-in without a guarantee of making the month-end tournament may be questionable. I'd imagine you'd get more support if the buy-in was only for the tournament. I'm not sure people will want to buy in to a contest to see who gets the most ladder points, but I could be wrong.


The goal is to get people to take ladder more serious and add a competitive environment to the ladder. As we do not have a sponsor we use buy ins to generate a pricepool.
We take a screenshot of the ladder ranking each week and give points based on ranking.

isn't EU ladder taken pretty seriously compared to NA?

Haha excellent graphics, Harstem! Great idea, really excited for more people to take ladder seriously, making it somewhat of a miniature tournament every time you play

This is really cool, but one really important question... which ladder is this on? If you let people just do whichever region they want to, some players might just go to NA to get easier points.

I have seen this question a lot and i do think its meant to be on EU but if you think about it, even if just the few player so far that signed up play on NA it will make NA ladder that much better (since everyone thinks its the worst) and isn't that the point of this to make ladder better and even more competitive. Also I don't think its a bad thing because if some players play on NA to get free point then other players will come to do the same and just make NA as hard as EU, which isn't a bad thing because again its making ladder better.

Also i hope this becomes huge GL.

yea i would say so but it doesn't hurt to make it even more competitive and serious, all it does it make the game even better. I honestly think this could be really cool if it works out but we'll have to wait and see.
