no joke.... lol TT

In fact, when you play at masters/gm level, you have a good knowledge of the game and you know how to macro well, so whatever the race you play, i believe you will still be able to smash lower league opponents as you will completely out-macro him/her.

But well we can maybe give it a try

As much as I may want to, the Fixtures have been generated and players may have already started arranging/playing matches
We have quite a few Master league participants tho, maybe I could form a separate ladder to run concurrent with this? You guys interested in that? So it would be a 8 or so size ladder just for

I've also thought of a possible solution for next season -
Beating a same ranked/lower player = 1 pt
Beating a higher ranked player = 1 + leaguedifference (Max total= 3)
So for example a gold league beats a diamond, he gets 1+2= 3
If a bronze beats a gold he still gets 3 as that's the cap

This way the lower leagues have a chance to climb the ladder by winning 'favored' opponents

Thoughts?

^^^ This is an awesome idea, it'll give everyone some motivation to aim higher and test themselves out, i like it.

Yes its good. It would possibly cause for cheesing if a lower player was playing a higher player - but thats part of the game.
Also, with the Masters you could either have them all start on Negative points by a reasonable sum, as well as a point Adding disadvantage, Or alternatively make us all offtrace?

BREAKING NEWS!
Due to popular demand, I have opened up a Masters Division for the league. Check out the OP for more information!
The following players need to confirm if you're still interested (and provide your Skype if you haven't)

PickleWeasel.945
Dox.792 i? (Skype: ? derek something) *
Izq.397 *

-----------

All playing off-race would kind of defeat the purpose of joining, I would rather have you play your main race. I think the points system I suggested should help balance things out in terms of ladder ranking, I'll think further about how to balance it even better.

ps: i was gm terran the seasons before this. i switched to zerg this season with a score of 10-12 now. hopefully i can participate cause i have no intention of using terran as my main anymore.

[crAzerk]

@navi Nope sorry the Main Ladder has already begun! Fixtures have been done and all so it's not very possible to slot anyone in.If you're interested, you can join the Masters Ladder and fight with the Masters/Diamond players Would you like to?
EDIT:
Ok after some thought, would you like to sub me? I can sit out and join the Masters Division or something. The condition is that you have to stay the whole way and dont be an idiot and go MIA, and you'll be taking my existing record of 1 Win 1 Loss.
You need to leave your SKYPE too!

@Izq Should be ok, since i'm gonna let derpy in too. I have to think about this though, if there's overwhelming demand from low Masters then I have to exclude both of you

[naviC]

@crAzerk: that would be great! i'd like to be able to play i do know i'll be steamrolled by master players so if I had a choice between the two i'd like to sub you :P if not you can slot me into the other league.
