Ladder activates Auto Matches!
Yes ladies and gentlemen, you might already noticed that you could be in the ladder and not get a single match; unless you challenged someone yourself. Well, there is no longer any need to do that, ESL will from now on do it for you!


Auto Matches

Auto Matches are automatically generated matches. These matches can not be rejected and must be played.

When are the Auto Matches?
The system will generate a match against a random opponent once a week, always on Monday at 20.00 o'clock!

That does not mean every Monday evening you have to be glued to your seat to play the matches, you are free to move them to a time and date that suits you!

Can I still challenge people?
The auto system creates one match a week for everyone. That does however not limit your freedom to play against chosen opponents. You can still challenge people. The auto match making system is to prevent people from refusing all matches and it keeps the ladder active.

What does this mean for the rules?
We as Admin Team are still fairly new to this ladder, and just as new to these Auto Matches as you are, so there might be some small changes in the future. For now the following rules will apply:

- Auto matches can be moved, but not be rejected. Not playing them will results in 3 Penalty Points.
- Normal Challenges can rejected.

Be aware that if someone shows up 20 minutes to late you can take a screenshot of him being offline (add the person to the friendlist). Just be sure to use the /time command! You'll get the win for free and the opponent will be charged with 2 penalty points. Anyone with more then 4 penalty points in the ESL Benelux WC3 Ladder will be kicked.

If you have questions regarding this system you can contact us by using a Support ticket!

I don't want to play every week!
That is your free choice. ESL Ladders have a great memory, memorizing your score. You can leave the ladder and join them later on with the same score as you left. If you wish to quit playing you can leave the ladder. If you change your mind, you are free to join again without losing your score!

Your more an one evening of hardcore gaming instead of regular a few matches? Then the cups might be the solution for you! The first upcoming cup can be found here!!

If you have suggestions for the system, or perhaps other ideas that we should implement on ESL, you can create a support ticket, or post them publicly in the comments!

true,
It will result into no shows from time to time, but there are currently as well people who do not have any games played and would not even respond to challenges. Also prevents people from dodging other players. You'll still get the win if your opponent does not show up though.
