Within the next two-three weeks I am going to launch a new competitive scene in PA. I will be inviting anyone that's willing to play competitively to this new endeavor. This is not the start of a new Esports group, a new tournament league, nothing like that. but something different in it's own.
Can you go into some more details? Trying to reinvigorate the scene, how exactly? Need official ranked ladder plox.
I'd be up for a few competitive games... I'll provide newer players with a nice low entry point haha.
I am thinking a 5 tiered system in which to move up into the next tier you need to win a best of 5 vs a higher tier player. you can also move up into the next tier either by hitting a benchmark rating based off the elo or by beating a certain number of people in a row in your own tier. demotions from tier to tier also, if you lose x amount of games vs your own tier then you go down. If you lose the best of 5 and you are the higher tiered player then you move down. tournaments could be then be based off of tiers not just from uberskill, 1v1 elo rating, etc. also there would be an inavtive rule that if you do not have a match once a week atleast then you move down a tier automatically. starting tier would be bottom tier or could be based off of existing elo.
Do you mean something with auto matching based on your skill bracket? Or more like a fixed match plan like a soccer league? If I don't have to commit to a set time that would be interesting.
I find it quite interesting. Is it going to be 1v1 or for teams as well? Such as 2v2? Because I really prefer playing with a friend (mostly 2v2v2v2v2 )
This seems remarkably similar to my PA Triangle system which I suggested a while ago. Though some interesting changes too.
This should get tied into PA Stats' matchmaking. Or make a new mod that has that same type of matchmaking. Also, I really hope matches are automatically recorded through PA Stats or something. Sounds like a lot of fun! Can't wait to learn more.
So will this be some kind of Mod that integrates itself into PA or more of a PA stats ladder kinda thing...?
It sounds a little complex... Also I'm not sure being inactive for 1 week is really long enough to forcibly demote a player. I tend to get short blocks of time where I can play every few weeks due to life commitments, and it would be pretty annoying to have to grind back up to position every time. Otherwise the concept is good. I'd also be interested if there could be a wild card mechanism in there as the only danger with this is it segregates the top players from everyone else, which may prevent skills and knowledge transfer between players.
sounds like a cool idea, I'll take part when I have abit more time to train and play, till then I wish this project good luck and awesomeness
I'm currently working non stop on getting the Ablegamers Tournament all set up, as soon as it is all done I will make a mock up of this league and what my idea truly is in a visual manner with more in depth explanations.
