A poll sounds like a good idea but the only thing that's worrying for me is that it would become a popularity contest to be able to play (i.e. people with the most friends and fans would always get voted in)

yea that is what im worried about by vote but then if you have someone like me picking people might accuse me of playing favourites etc. i think as a general rule if you are from the same team/clan as the challenger who just would be second string choice type thing. that to me would put a buffer on favourites and clans just putting heaps of votes behind a player. It also spreads the love around a bit

mirth:

have votes influence it, but then like u and two other people decide

[MezjE]

Awesome idea hope it gets off the ground!

Might have a go at casting if I can co-cast with anyone, always something I have wanted to try!

[Stallion]

yea as mirth said having a vote for like a top 3 and then having a panel of people to pick could work. i don't think we could put it all on just me id be too open to flaming and i don't like being flamed T_T im a sensitive soul

Gym leader system would be nice Collect the 8 badges LOL

[FvRphoneheha]

Would love to participate in this somehow ^^v

[mirth]

this is a great reason to start playing sc2 more, i wanna collect the badges! should send this to blizzard.

[SLCN.Kez]

would defs love to play in this, would also donate cash. My only concern would be how to pick a challenger for it, I like the idea of a mini tournament to decide it, maybe the winner from the wt weekly or just do its own small tourney, as the more tournaments we have weekly the better!

[FlashVeno]

pokemon ideas are always awesome

[Snx.FigJig]

I like the poll idea, just have say 3-5 people you would think would be good for the FC and get the community to vote who they would want. Another mini tourney I think would be too much hassle for it, the poll idea with community involvement also makes the FC feel unique and fresh.

Poll idea sounds awesome, can also hype it up a bit if done that way.

There are many things you could do with this idea. My idea is as follows...

Various people each week are tasked with finding an opponent to have a grudge match against. At the end of a set number of weeks the winners of each of the grudge matches face off in a single elimination tournament with the winner crowned gladiator (or something). Then the process could repeat itself.

Of course there doesn't have to be a tournament at the end, I just liked the idea of the grudge match winners facing off against each other.

Dont think grudge matches is the right term to use there tbh. We're all too nice to constantly be challenging each other WWE style FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP.

I suggest if you go with the poll that you have an 'up and coming' week were only 'up and coming' players can be voted for. This will allow more people to have a go and also help eliminate 'popularity wars' for voting.

Amazing idea!

[asdfSchnitzel]

This is going to be so sick whatever the format!

[nGenLight]

Let the panel who decides the up coming challengers be the established Professional players in the scene. The Protoss pros pick up and coming Protoss players whilst Zerg and Terran do the same respectively, see which race has the stronger new generation of players!

We(Established players) don't really have anything to prove in the scene and should focus on doing this ourselves internationally. It is the up and coming unknown GM players of SEA that really need the exposure, experience and motivation. Prize money is not really an issue, these players don't expect to win tournaments and are not expecting any monetary reward - As a player developing into one of the best in SEA back in the day, all I wanted was exposure/experience and respect.

I'm very biased here but I would like to see some of my upcoming Protoss brothers in mGGAlpha and FadeVenosaur a chance to show their worth.

Yeah that sounds good, provided though the pro players follow the scene enough as some (I assume) may focus there attention away from the up and coming players to focus on improving intenationally. I may be wrong tho

Everyone now and then, winners of BSG and GPD get to play against the champ, but with some hilarious handicap. Like mouse only, or having to recite poetry while playing, etc.

Asrathiel:

Vogon poetry?

[Stallion]

@Light that would be good but it also stops people being able to take on one of the top tier people to really put their name out there. This method also comes down a lot to who thinks whos established and whos up and coming. Do you mean name in the scene? or people yet to win that first tournament?

need a definition of what counts as someone established i think

[Fairyking]

Any of these ideas sound awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
