EPTAfter several months of development, the SC: Evo Complete Ranked Ladder OPEN ALPHA is live, and it’s free for everyone to play.
You can find everything you need to get started here: https://rentry.co/evoladderbot-openalpha
The ladder runs entirely through Discord, letting players find opponents and report results in a structured practice environment. Because of how StarCraft II handles custom games, the bot can’t (and will never be able to) create in-game lobbies for you, but everything else you’d expect from a real ranked system is here: skill-based matchmaking, map vetoes, leaderboards, ranks, and more. All you have to do is meet your opponent in-game, set up the lobby with the provided settings, play your match, then upload the replay and report the result. We already have over a hundred players and hundreds of matches played!
The ladder depends on the honesty and sportsmanship of its community. Our admin team is dedicated to keeping things fair and transparent: we prohibit barcodes and actively investigate dishonest or toxic behavior. Together, we can build something that works better than StarCraft II’s own ladder.
We’re just a few days into alpha so expect bugs, missing features, and the occasional rough edge. I’m improving the bot daily to make the experience as smooth and seamless as possible.
See you on the ladder,
- HyperONE
