[R]anked will be just fine. After all, it's still the place where all the great tournies are.

I do hope [B]lackbox will remain strong though, as it's a very cool thing to have on board. In the end as long as both divisions draw enough coaches to remain viable there is nothing wrong with either of them.

To be honest I don't get the whole halleluja thing going on around [B], as there is still at least 1 matchup that is just not good in every draw. So far the only thing I see in [B] that is substantially better than in [R] is the fact that you can plan when you want to play, thus reducing the amount of time you have to reserve in your schedule for a single game.

I predict a downturn to 1/3 of the ranked games in 1 year.

Pythrr, why are you bothered of CR so much? If you don't like it, ignore it! I tried to be #1 some time ago, then didn't care at all (cr sunk by 22 points) and now do sth between it = keeping it a +170.

So two quarters of negative growth in ranked and we will see a reduction in VAT on winnings.....

It looks like ranked games have dropped by around a 1/3 just since [B] started from just over 400 to just over 300. I for one am hoping for no [B]oom and [B]ust.

I'd say wait a bit. Every is hot for the new girl, until they've gotten to know her. Check back a bit later.

.... or that the time it takes to find a game is a big factor in the number of games played. Probably both are having an effect (I know I've played alot more since [B] came out).


Search for game no one wants one, its close to the hour / half...

I expressed it wrong: I predict a downturn of Blackbox games by 2/3 in 1 year compared to Ranked games.
