What happens if someone as bad as ripe challenges me to a match, am I allowed to not play simply because it's a no contest?


While master tag holders are more than welcome to accept each and every challenge. We will not throw money at every single challenge. For arguments sake lets say Yamon loses to Lux in his challenge. He is more than welcome to come back to this thread and challenge another master tag holder. We will do our best to set up a proper match and time for both players should said master tag holder accept.  However chances are we will not be interested in giving out prize money for multiple challenges by the same competitor in a short time frame. Furthermore should a lower tier player challenge a master tag holder we also will not be interested in giving out prize money for a successful defense.

At the moment we do not have any system for preventing master tag holders from dodging challenges. However if it becomes apparent that a master tag holder for unreasonable reasons is purposefully dodging multiple challenges they may be liable to lose their master tag status.


In fairness Shotgun Ripe isn't that bad.
Also depending on the challenge we do give out a $25 prize for a successful defense by a master tag holder. In other words you will be compensated for your time if the challenge seems legit and not just a waste of time.

TBH I think he falls into the beatable with vision on category.

ok call  viet we will play!

Does anyone know why braviet has been MIA except to play szwaiger in that tier 1 tournament that NEVER finished. I think we should've just skipped straight to the two best active players Shotgun vs. Szwaiger (JesK would be cool too).

I think knitter got #1 because someone else was demoted for inacrivity, star beat knitter to get #1 ... and hasn't given anyone the chance to beat him bo3 the last 2+ months.  SG or u8 could a had #1 a long time ago

You are already good, you just need to focus on being "damn good" like ST

it's interesting looking at the top players startale plays, and the top players lone plays.. then comparing how they do against other players.

lone is 18-23 vs u8

ST is 7-18 vs u8   .... lone has a better win %


lone is 13-1 vs spb

ST is 105-34 vs spb   .... lone has better win %


Lone is 4-0 vs medivh

ST is 13-17 vs medivh  ... lone has better win %


Lone is 61-51 vs braviet

ST is 34-71 vs braviet      ... lone has much better win %


but ST vs lone 15-5 (ST's favor)   ... i highly doubt lone had 15 bad games. but i do highly suspect ST has a style of playing that does well against Lone's style.... another possibility is ST rages when he loses, and that might affect how Lone plays vs ST. He does well against calm players who just enjoy playing (u8.. spb.. brav..)  sometimes med rages, but its not the same as ST.

.... just more evidence suggesting the "tier" system is b.s.



It will be interesting to see what the ELO looks like on ladder in another couple months.
