I am in as well

Ok, so Sephiroth's idea is quite good, but it does not really give a huge immediate incentive for people to get higher ranks and I intended to make rt laddeer popular again.

Anyway, I think I'll settle for the simplest solution:
a) the event will start on October 1st and it'll end on the 1st of January
b) every day the points will be assigned to top 30 players with 30 points for 1st place, 29 for 2nd place etc.
c) in order to ensure most players will try to play at least 60 games on rt ladder instead of the minimum amount of 30 to be constantly ranked over the span of the all the accumulated points at the end of the event will be multiplied by min(1, n/60) where n is the number of games played during the specified 90 days
d) 3 rt tournaments will be held and streamed to qualify for the final stage
e) 5 players with most points and 3 winners of tournaments will qualify for the final stage

I decided to allow all accounts, but during the event you may not use more than 1 account. If you participate and you have already used more than 1 account, please specify which account will be used during the event.

4 months of qualifiers? that's an eternity. 1 month would be more then enough imho, especially considering how little slots there are to fill.

agreed with PS -- Too much time will get people forgetting about this and bored.

It's actually 3 months and the problem is with only 1 month, it'd take only 10 games to always be ranked. Even if I'd apply the same multiplier it wouldn't incentivise enough people imo. Maybe 2 months would be a decent middle-ground? There is still 3 weeks till the start so if more people think 3 months is too much I'll make it shorter, 2 months with a multiplier n/40 trying for 40 games in 60 days.

what about everyone has to Play 30 games in 1 month?

yeah. i like what MOD propose, and i would add a rule: if you don't have time to play ALL 30 games, the multiplier will be the number of games you actually played, so 25,20, 27 depends.
What do you think?

so basically you can still compete, but you will get a lower score.

Honestly I don't like to impose rules like that, because it's a "hard" incentive, meaning you can't participate if you cannot play 1 game a day, which may be a lot for some people and ideally everyone will want to participate even if it is only for fun, not to qualify. I'm heavily leaning towards a "light" incentive.

if you don't have time to play ALL 30 games, the multiplier will be the number of games you actually played, so 25,20, 27 depends.

Isn't that exactly what I proposed? number of games divided by constant is basically the same multiplier as the number of games.


All in all I'd like to hear moe comments about 2 months vs 3 months of competing on rt ladder, do you think 3 months is too long?

yeah 3 months is too long.
it is not 1 game for day, it can also be 5 games 1 day, then no games for 2 days etc.

average 1 game per day sounds acceptable

i would also vote for 2 months. Personally it doesn't matter much for me, but more people will be attracted by shorter period.

2 months is the same as the length of the Seasonal Ladders too, so it seems like a good length to use for this as well.

@szeweningen
you don't have to play 1 game each day for 30/60 days
its just 30/60 games in 1/2 months,you can play 30 games in 1 day and do nothing for 29 days

Just reminding you guys it'll start in 4 days. Competition will last for 60 days, i'll talk with wgl crew about making qualification tournaments.

Hmm, so with new 1v1, seasonal and 3v3 ladder, are people still even interested? I'm guessing not...

is may Worth to delay a bit, considering fizzer also said he is willing to may change the template

Maybe start next month? I know that when a new season starts I try to play the first games quickly so they don't add up so fast. We also have the clan league starting in the next week.

i guess you abandonned this?

Yes, after the launch of 3v3 ladder, new seasonal and 1v1 there was no more interest. I got unlucky with the timing, althoguh if there is enouhg interest in the future I'd like to host that type of tournament.
