I just read the slide that says how the community will be split into several different leagues, and ranked within each league. My initial reaction was "Holy shit, they got it right!" I honestly think this is the best idea i've seen seen for ranking competitive play online in a long, long time.
It perfectly mirrors how it would be outside of a game: you really don't like facing people a whole let better than you in competitions, but you also want a rank amung the people of similar skill & time investment levels. So you form leagues with similar skilled people. I love the idea of using this for a RTS ranking system, I hope they get this just right because it surely has the potential to be a great ranking system. Much better than the murdered ELO system they tried to do with WoW arena.
