Reflexion about 5on5 ladders

image: disckette

Is such an impossible though to make a global ladder? ESL & CB?
I see the same 4 or 5 teams searching offi here each week.

We don't really want to play in ESL without SLAC being forced and activity there doesn't seem much more than in CB, maybe im wrong. Nothing against ESL btw.
Maybe 15 teams playing actively? and in 2 ladders?

We are really having problems to find med-/med skilled opponents for offis, they are either low+ or med+.

I understand cups being separate for ESL and CB but ET has reach the point where a global ladder makes sense. Like Killerboy said in my last journal I agree that there are way too many cups and when you play vs a clan on a random irc war telling them to play a ladder offi, many will reply "we only play cups"

Shoutout to all the teams trying to revive the ladders, shame most clans don't realise the importance of this ladders for the game.

should i force the autochallenger to sunday for 2--4 weeks, might work as a kick start to boost the activity again

yesterday there were 4/5 5on5 ladder matches which is an improvement, if only that could happen everyday, the ladder would be much more active.

ladders need more promotion (and coverage?) and also note that MGCs are also interested in your RANK on Ladders, so don't ignore them and show the your Cup pocals only, just check the cod4 5on5 ladder: http://clanbase.ggl.com/rating.php?lid=7514 first page is 1900+ points only and you can see the top5 teams have some nice mgcs such as zeropoint,4frags,gigabyte,thermaltake and so on & cod2 http://clanbase.ggl.com/rating.php?lid=2355 you can see RAGE gaming is 1st place (which just picked up an ET team), tmoe, infinityskills, mindless gaming,exotic island,1stcav, etc

note: (after 4 noshows teams get removed from the ladder)
I don't know to what point forced automatches can help rising activity, if it does.. do it. We really hate that back in the day cause we had like 3 ladder matches each week but nowadays maybe is a good thing to do...

I noticed the slight increase in matches which is good but still many teams that could be playing there just dont give a shit... they are training for Open Cup or just don't care for ladders.
Just one match from all those teams per week and we will have an active ladder with many teams and more varierty of skills, not only med+ like right now :D

Global ladder is something impossible right?

yep it is unless its hosted on CF, but that would mean ESL & CB have to sacrifice their ladders and i doubt cf can code a ladder like that :p
Parent
ok.. then I have a dream that one way this website... xD
Parent
I made a column about this months ago!
Parent
U are right on some points but,

we have more games & opponents then we need :D i think we have all 2-3 days 1 or 2 offis..and its pretty hard to handle it ,ofc we are playing every cup and every ladder.


I dont belive that there will be only 1 global Ladder..

E: 2 ladders are good cause of different mappools :*
sry for engrish i just woke up
if you are still refusing to play on CB 5on5 ladder just because there is no delivery, then seriously.....

how do you expect to beat ANY team if you only know how to play 1 map
Parent
we play there 2 :D

we have just no time to play morge ladder games cause we play ECC,OC,EMS,ESl 2o2/ 3o3 /5o5 Ladder and CB 2o2/3o3/5o5 .

And when u play a Ladder game Mr Killerboy u allways take ur best map or ? And when the map dont exist there u will prefere for sure a Ladder where the map is in the map pool.

Im just bored playing Supply 24/7 at CB 5o5 ladder.

No offfense to CB they do a great work to keep ET alive :)
Parent
Personally I think delivery is the worst map ever done for ET, however I must agree that keeping it won't have been so much of a problem, we hate it and never play it but we understand that for tastes... maybe that was one error for CB, which we liked anyway ;D
Parent
I understand... but imo varierty is good when it comes to maps and opponents, in the case of cups there are way too many cups and the sense of ladders being the place to search for all teams and skills and challenge them is now a bit lost.

And about the ladder is impossible yeah but is a shame seeing for example your team in ESL ladder and our team in CB ladder so we can't challenge each other and there are not so many active teams on both...
Parent
Just make some feature on this site to organise cups and make a ladder on here with some prices.. This site is sponsored so that shoudlnt' be a too big problem I guess
