I really appreciate your efforts! Your actions inspire me! Right now, I'm just trying to understand how interesting a new concept with planning in advance is for high-ranking players.

If this concept would be interesting, ETFreeman has already kindly offered to help and is ready to create a special bot in discord that automates this process. If you don't mind, it can be hosted on your server.

8 players have already chosen a convenient date and time!
Another 3 said they couldn't in the coming week, but would be happy to join later! And we're still waiting for some answers!

The most popular dates and times:

Monday, February 9th

18:00-20:00 UTC - 6 players

Sunday, February 15th

16:00-18:00 UTC - 6 players

Come on these dates! Be a gentleman, take small pauses to switch opponents. And most importantly - have fun playing the game! I wish you all good games!

I'm asking you to give me feedback, should I write about the dates and times when there are 4+ people who want to play, or only the most popular ones?

Below I am attaching screenshots with all the answers so that you can familiarize yourself.

Hello everyone For many, many years now, the 2k ladder scene has been practically dead. Everyone I asked gives one reason - there are few opponents. You have to make arrangements in advance to play, and it's not that interesting.

But many 2k players still want to play! Not all of them have retired yet, like the legendary Zock or Petric.

And players with lower ratings want to see more 2k level replays to learn!

Tournaments with cash prizes are good, but they require you to play for many hours and give you a lot of restrictions.

My suggestion. Once every 2 weeks, I will do a survey in Google forms, in which 2k players will choose convenient dates and times for their games.

And then I will publish dates and times comfortable for everyone. I will not specify the nicknames of the players, only the number of those who want to play on a particular day/time.

Please write if you would be interested in such events. No prizes, no rules, just the desire to press the 1x1 button and play the best RTS!

I did try to make the ladder discord to get a few people queueing at all ranks, and with tournaments like the uX series, hopefully a few more people get into ladder. Maybe a biweekly weekend can be chosen for a bunch of people to queue ladder.
