The games
What we run, what is next, and what you can vote for.
Ranked, head to head
Two sides, one winner. These are the games the ladder is made of, so every result moves a rating.

StarCraft: Brood War
Both versions of StarCraft are welcome. Against people, play on Remastered or on the 2009 version, 1.16.1. Against Nova (opens in a new tab), you need the 2009 version: it is the only one the bots can run on. The launcher starts the right one for each match.
3 brackets scheduled · 42 players · Nova plays all three races

Minecraft
A world made of blocks, and half a dozen ways to compete inside it. Which one the league runs is the whole question: a bracket needs two sides and a winner, and Minecraft can give you that or refuse to. Add your name and help pick.

Chess: Standard
Two players, one winner, and a rating system the game invented. Chess scores cleanly on a ladder, which is why it is here. Where it is played and on what is still open. Add your name and it gets decided with you in the room.

Co-operative
Players against the game. There is no loser, so there is nothing for a rating to be worked out from. These are scored their own way and never touch the competitive ladder.
-
Helldivers 2: Super Earth
Four players against the game, which means there is no loser and nothing for a rating to be calculated from. It will never touch the competitive ladder, and it will get its own table instead. Add your name if you want squads run properly.

Aliens: Fireteam Elite
Three players against the game. Same as Helldivers: no loser, so no rating, and no place on the competitive ladder. Scored on difficulty cleared and time taken once it opens. Add your name.

Single player
One player against the game. Scored on time and on challenge runs, on a table of its own, never the competitive ladder.

Threnody of Archaea: The Keep
A turn-based party RPG from Dark Loch Studios, built from its own tabletop rulebook. One player against the game, so there is no loser and no rating. It gets a table of its own for timed and challenge runs. Add your name.

What should we run next?
Games people have already named. There is no counter on these, because a game with no page has nowhere to vote. Once a game is running it gets its own page and a real count, and 50 is the number that gets a bracket built.
- Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 Not sold on Steam, so a copy has to be found.
- Unreal Tournament 99 On Steam, and it still has an active community.
- Diablo II A Battle.net game, so we can read the BattleTag and nothing else.
