I think that its a great idea not only for the clans but for the SEA community as a whole

Making the ladder more active, especially in a friendly and competitive way such as Zeratul and Titan are suggesting will without a doubt be beneficial to the server as well as those who use it for their primary area of practice or playing. Not everyone has access to the Korean server and some struggle with ping and latency on NA. It also gives players more goals and incentive apart from mass laddering for position on the ladder. Representing their clan more actively in their laddering will also give players a sense of pride in their play. It's also a good way for a clan to prove themselves apart from repetitive clan wars. I can see where Light and Benji are coming from, playing on different servers as professionals and very high level practice would be a better option for them, but this Ladder Challenge seems more suited to more casual based clans that generally play for fun.

There's obviously going to be some concerns such as those stated before, but with a proposal as big as this there will always be small things that will need to be addressed. Most of them shouldn't be too much of a worry given some thought and flexibility on the matter. There's no doubt that some will still effect the Challenge, especially the presence of hackers on the server, but I'm sure there is a way to get around this at the least.

A lot of time and organisation has been put into the idea, I like the direction it's looking to lead in, although this is only my opinion

Best of luck to your idea guys

For example, when I used to ladder on SEA to keep my GM spot, I would ask anyone on my friends list to come play a bo5 on ladder. Are you saying that playing against mafia is bad practice? Or Iaguz? Or Glade? Or Ninja?

All it takes is a slight amount of co-ordination to participate in, what is going to be, a nice community-driven event.

this is actually the smartest post I've seen in this thread, I'd do this, could also do like a clan/team practice by doing this at same time. I blame Illness for my slowness. Tgun wins thread peace out GG WP

I'm okay with this.

I'm trying to get rank 1 at the end of the season so why not. ^^

Awesome idea - any thought on encouraging lower leagues to play more rather than just concentrating on the M/GM leagues?

I can only hope this encourages lower leagues to get promoted so they can represent their clan. We would have liked to implement something similar for other leagues but it would be incredibly hard to admin. I think for lower leagues the ladder is more active anyway so we should be focusing on tournaments and clan wars to get them involved in the competitive scene more.

Always happy to help get all of sea more active. But the main thing with doing

/

was that teh true

s were basically not playing at all. Lower leagues are sill pretty populated by comparison. I think if this goes well in it's first season, we might look at extending it to include other leagues.
