The SEA ladder is an essential part of the SEA Starcraft 2 scene and the community as a whole. Lately, however, the SEA ladder has fallen stagnant due to a lack of competition, especially at the Grandmaster level, with many good players opting to play on foreign servers instead. We propose a fun competition between clans on the SEA ladder, in order to make the ladder experience more exciting: The SEA Clan Ladder Challenge!
Before the start of next season, each participating clan submits a full list of their Grandmaster and Master players (so if they get into Grandmaster we can immediately add their points to the team score).
Every Sunday night at midnight, the ladder points of the Grandmasters from each clan will be averaged, and that average will be the number of points the clan receives that week (rounded to the nearest integer).
At the end of the season, the clan with the most points will be crowned the Gods of ladder, and will gain the community's ovation and fame forever! (or at least until the next season)
"Thy Kingdom Come"
Gods of the Ladder in mGG's clan ladder contest!
(Thanks to TheGentleman)
Running parallel to the weekly clan rankings, there will be weekly player rankings within each individual clan. At season's end, the MVP for each clan will be awarded the title Ladder Hero as well as the adoration and jelly of their clan!
At the end of the season, all Ladder Heroes will go into a bracket to determine who will receive the title of Ultimate Ladder Hero, supreme bragging rights, and $50! Details about the brackets will be released near the end of the season in which this takes place.
At the end of each week if the clan has fewer than 3 Grandmasters, they will not receive points for that week. This is to ensure that this is a team effort and not a solo effort.
The points of every Grandmaster in participating clans will be tallied. You can't opt out.
If any players in diamond or below reach Grandmaster, please inform the admins ASAP.
If bad manners are encountered from any participating players, please try to ignore them. If they are severe and consistent however, action will be taken.
Hacking will not be tolerated. If any member of a participating clan is caught hacking, that clan will be disqualified.
If clans do not have enough GMs they can form a clan alliance so their players may still have a chance at winning or being a Ladder Hero.
Both clans and teams are allowed to participate.
A player can only be on one clan's roster.
If there are suggestions, queries or concerns please contact the admins and we will attempt to address them in a speedy manner.
We highly encourage as many clans as possible to participate in order to foster more friendly competition and make laddering on SEA a more enjoyable experience.
First Scoreboard will be taken on Sunday 20th of January, and each subsequent Sunday thereafter. Scores taken Sunday night midnight AEDT.

In my opinion you need to make everyone want to play SEA, you need the tiop players back so that means you need the queue times lowered which means everyone else needs to be playing. This will make everyone else play but you need a monetary award to give the final shove to the pros I think. Doesn;t have to be something huge, maybe just something for the MVP.
Edit: I see, sounds like a good idea but even just having it for the ultimate MVP might not be enough.

This is awesome. Great way to make the SEA ladder more competitive, as GM is really easy to get on this server due to the low amount of people playing on it.
I used to still play a game or two on SEA when I'm tired of getting my ass whooped on Korea. Then I met the infamous WhiteLuxury, lost and got called horrible names. I have since not laddered on SEA.
Love it guys! I hope it pays off! Are you open to trialling it for the rest of this season, since we only have a few weeks left, just to iron out the kinks?
@IXLRunaMoK We only did house clans for the most part because they were the only logos we had, it is hard to add every logo for every clan but if you send Titan a message I'm sure he will gladly add it in.

SecretJieun + Zeratul: It isn't about beating him, I could care less about beating him or him beating me. Just can't bring myself to knowingly search into a hacker who has multiple accounts in GM, stuffing up any real integrity of the SEA server.

This is part of the reason why we started this initiative. People like whiteluxury are not the root of the problem but a byproduct. He's only a problem at the moment because not many people play on SEA. If more people played on SEA we would be much less likely to queue against him and nobody would really care too much about him. Hackers exist on every server but since there is more competition on the other servers it doesn't matter.
Btw can people please stop acknowledging Whiteluxury, it's just feeding the troll.

And give him the satisfaction of knowing that he had 'won'? What about all the other players on SEA? There are many others who try their best and earned their way legitly into masters or gm.
We know him as he is : hacker, bm troll etc. When he finds that he needs more satisfaction, he joins clan channels and trolls and picks on other players. Why should we let him dictate how we feel about a server? This one person has serious issues. And are we to say for certain that all other servers, there are no hackers just because we dun know who they are.
Sorry if I do come across as being harsh or if I did word it incorrectly. But I'm a little annoyed about how a minority can dictate how the majority should feel or behave. Laddering to move up and down in this initiative should promote more healthy competition.
If an unworthy person such as whiteluxury could stop you from laddering on SEA, then perhaps you have forgotten the many others who care about this server.
Sorry if I offended in anyway. And yes I'm only plat but I'm not afraid to say what I just said.
