New Rating System

The effective ranks from now on will be D, C, B, A-, A, A+, Olympic.

We have virtually removed 6 ranks, still having the «middle» ones like C- and C+, but they are now not effective.
In this way we have increased the pool of players who can be challenged getting an appreciable amount of points and without risking to lose too many.

As you can see now a B+ player can play against a C- for +97 points (motw) risking to lose just -62, while before was for +16 points risking to lose -200.
As well for B+ vs B- that will be counted like a B vs B for +130 (motw) and -50 points.

Probably this season we will have many people hitting powerful ranks like A/A+, so give your best to achieve these records. We also really hope this update will increase your activity being easier to get a game.

Hopeful this will help to increase the number of players and will give the chance to our «noobs»  to find more games getting better and better.

Cheers guys!

I am sorry to ask it here, but i really couldn't find it. Where can I know which map is the MOTW? I have heard of the system but really don't know...

quantel, landowner and tonyblair got A- last season. So that won't change a lot.

A job well done! I have one suggestion - send a couple of mass messages in the server announcing the news so the players who are not visiting the site often get a hold of the news.

Put info about it to "welcome message", when you join to Ladder 1x1.

I think A- should be now not 9000 but 18 000 ..

win pts should be higher than 130. at least difference in 5 points per rank...

sorry guys I played iccup for a lot of year and still I like to follow the ladder; I totally disagree with new rules, already ranks had lost worth from a couple of years (cause the numbers of players decreased a lot), now I can say they are totally worthless. Anyone can achieve good ranks look this (Korean ?) player possofare, he is already A- and looking his matchlist he seems to be C+ player.

Sincerely

It's years you are inactive, so maybe you haven't the full picture about the server status, obviously the actual B+/A- will be the past C+ skilled, so we can't paragon new ranks with the oldest; but it's something that absolutely does not bother us.

The goal is to increase the activity with the actual status, not to try bringing back the golden years... that's a dream.

good idea. less dodge now

awful idea, you guys a few months ago said the rank system was fine and now you make this? What happened to you? The rank system was fine, if someone reached B-A was because he was really good. Now we will have lots of fakes/noobs B-A. I know you try to do the best for the server but this idea is not one, really. Anyway i will see how this change works for good o not but i'll play much less now. I'm really dissapointed.

The last rating system it-self had nothing bad, the problem was/is the players pool and the annoying delay to find a game.

From the first feedback of some friends, looks like the new system helps a lot, we will see.

Yes in past if someone reached B-A was because he was really good. Now the really good players will simply reach A+/olympic. So where's the problem exactly?

Yes, the new system works quite well so far. If you look the country ladder statistics its actually the first time in a while that #1 is Korea again. In the past lots of koreans quit iccup because they couldn't find opponents. I believe the new system have the potential to bring back lots of mid-level fish users into iccup because D/C fish will be consider quite good in here /and now they have the means to rank up/ and well.. people love fame and glory. ara.gif

can't wait to see how high i can climb up the new ranks. i haven't played much starcraft in a while, but i remember finding a match was difficult. so i think these changes were needed.

can someone tell me when the current season ends, please? gamer.gif
