The last of every month have the top 8 ladder players enter into a $1000 tournament. It would cost Blizzard pennies on the dollar and provide some incentive to ladder especially for the players that don't have big contracts or are preparing for major events. Glad TB is doing this, and appreciate his efforts just seems like it was really exciting to stay updated and I wish that it wasn't something that happens once or twice a year because it was entertaining following streams and ladder results. | ||

So I'm guessing scarlett will know what to expect out of him and will probably roll him. He isn't very well known except on NA ladder/SEA tournaments. He was consistently top 5 NA GM last season by just using cheese every game. He has some lethal cheese timings. Not much more to know about him :D | ||

Funny how forgg is still n°1 with all this try-harding, a shame byun just did not show up and sniped some people for the lulz (and to show how pointless ladder can be) | ||

* Bel'shir Vestige * Derelict Watcher * Polar Night * Star Station TE * Yeonsu TE * Frost LE * [Official] Fruitland TL We will be using the latest Gameheart variants of these maps. A coin-flip will determine who picks the first map and each player will get 1 veto prior to the BO5 beginning. Loser picks format is in effect. The finals will have no vetoes, all maps are in play. | ||

I know there are certainly flaws when it comes to the ladder system and wouldn't want many events using it to seed or invite players often, however I don't understand why Blizzard doesn't do something like this every month or two and generate the excitement themselves?

And another tournament for top masters with 100 bucks on the line. And another for top plat with 10 bucks and some kind of Blizzard unique picture. Gamify the ladder. | ||

Missing Rhapsody in this list - Red Bull Battlegrounds had it featured and it was a fantastic addition IMHO. The lava element made it very exciting to watch because progamers were forced into specific time windows which pretty much screw with boring "standard" builds. | ||

Hey man! I suggest checking out my guide to using the new GameHeart here. It's pretty simple but you may as well load up a map and give it a try so you aren't doing it for the first time live. And remember it uses interface files to customize the interface so you can use one you already have or you could download this one which we designed to look like the old version of GameHeart. I do not have Fruitland available yet though I will ask Semmo about letting me add GameHeart to it and try to get it up tomorrow. But because the new GameHeart uses interface files switching from a GameHeart map to a non-GameHeart map should not affect your production other than losing the extra gameheart features. Your interface will remain the same. I would be happy to answer any questions you might have on skype (rtschutter) or by email (teamgameheart@gmail.com). | ||

Considering what happened yesterday at ASUS ROG, changing our times due to them seems like a really bad idea, plus the longer we wait the later it gets for the europeans so thats not going to happen | ||
