There is a very solid idea in the works so it's time to get some public feedback.
First, semi-offtopic, we have a new tour system which can be found at
http://warden.eurobattle.net/toursThis way we will track PSR gain from tournaments and latest tournaments will be displayed in forum sidebar (see att. 1 and 2).
Additionally, each tournament win will show up in your bnet profile (under "demon" aka tour column).
I would also like to remind you at this point that we are still recruiting more tour mods.
Now to the season proposal.Proposal is to have
fixed season resets at
1. January and
1. July. Since stats reset has all kind of negatives that come with it, it is time to start looking how to show progress and reward mid-season.
We started tracking the following stats (see attachments or check xpam forum sidebar):
1. Upcoming players: players who gained most PSR in current month
2. Players with most played games current month
3. The existing season top players (regular ladder)
4. Top players for each month in current season, calculated on W/L ratio only (PSR gain is not fair to track for monthly winners, W/L is better but not perfect, it might need to be mixed in with PSR somehow).
5. ?? <good ideas welcome for more categories> ??
Each player that is in top X in these categories will automatically receive an icon with his rank on it (some w3 themed icon with text like #1 AUG, or #1 UPC, #1 SE)... we haven't decided yet which categories would be rewarded this way, how many top players and what icons, all we know at this point is that this rewarding will be automatic, refreshed daily and the goal is that you can see top players immediately in channel due to these icons.
I do not know yet if these monthly winners will also receive some reward on the end of the season, it is still too early.
Rewards at the end of season remain the same for now, altho we'll have to think how to better reward people who stay on top for such a long period.
