Tomorrow the *DAMN BL Map Pack 2.0 will be a must have for all GhR Ladders.

No major bugs were discovered yet and the few smaller ones will be fixed during the season once we have concrete improvment suggestions.

The rules gonna be changed tomorrow as well so you know which new maps you can also use for the CQB Ladder.

See ya tomorrow,

Hi all,

In the past, there were some problems so that 1vs1 players couldn't confirm their matches. This bug has now been fixed, so you can use this feature as it was intended.

If you encounter any other problems, please post an info in the BattleLeague forums, so I can look into it.

Here we go!

Welcome back to a new exciting season VII featuring Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield, 1vs1 and soon FFA ladders.

If you check out the BL staff page you will notice two new faces, Splinter and Horda. Welcome guys.

Let's start with the bad news: the FFA ladders aren't yet included because Elandrion and I discovered a critical bug in the beta test stage which forces us to rewrite mainparts of the code. But the FFA ladders will be added soon once we have fixed the bug.

The Ghost Recon Siege ladder has been removed due the unpredictable attacker/defense distribution. Monoman is currently working on a beta where we can select who is who due the team color so may we will reintroduce the ladder later midseason.

The GhR Team ladder now also includes the domination and *DBL domination gametype.

The 1vs1 ladders are following the relating game rules. To participate at a 1vs1 ladder you only have to register yourself at the BL site. Then go to your user settings and select the ladder you would like to participate. The submission system ("Submit a PvP cb") is very similiar to the clan submission system. The 1vs1 ladders don't have finals and you can play against each other as often as you want.

The Raven Shield ladder rules can be found at the BL rules page now. In a few sentences they are very similiar to the old R6 and RS rules except that you play at max 5 matches (1 map/match) and each match is a best of 3. The first clan with 2 wins is the winner of the match.

All clan application have now been granted. Clan leaders have to go to the clan management and activate their clan for the desired ladders.

Good luck everybody,

*DAMN Mauti

ps: only the rule version after this post has been made is correct 2.2 BL rules version.

z][t won the final final round against BTs clearly 2 - 0, 6 - 1 and 6 - 3. Congratulations. z][t dominated the whole main season and proofed their excellent skills throughout the finals.

BTs, although the team competition ladder was lost, dominated once more the fun ladders.

Only 2 clans were active in the RS team ladder so it doesn't surprise that this ladder will be dropped in season VII.

Season VII will feature Raven Shield, together with a 1vs1 R6 and RS ladder and a FFA GhR ladder. The GhR Siege ladder will be dropped because it is unpredictable who is attacker and who is defender... The domination and *DAMN Domination gametype will now be selectable for the GhR team ladder. The 2vs2 CQB ladder will remain as it is.

With the 1vs1 and FFA ladders the first time in the BL's history clanless players have the possibility to compare their skills with other GameRanger players in a fair BL environment. 1068 players are already registered and a lot more are expected to join in the upcoming season.

Last but not least Season VII will start early february.

Team and fun icons are sent to the clan leaders of z][t and BTs.

Bye,

*DAMN Mauti

z][t vs BTs is the final final round for season 6. BTs won season 4 but failed last season in the 2nd final round while z][t participates the first complete season.

Good luck both,

Mauti
ps: although the default cb times are for the coming weekend you can of course already play during the week if you both agree.
