Attention WGTour Users,
We are proud to announce the release of the 1.15 Patch and the official announcement of the start of the new WGTour Ladder {BETA SEASON}, in conjunction with Blizzard Entertainment. After many pitfalls and failed attempts we are finally ready to release the product of our months of labor. You, the gamers, have been waiting patiently for this and we are happy to release definate and certain news about the return of the WGTour Ladder! It has been more than 1 year since the ladder originally went down and over 8 months since we anticipated our return, but we are finally ready!
Unlike the false pretense under patch 1.14, known now as the joke patch, patch 1.15 will represent the return of the WGTour Ladder. As you may or may not already know, the 1.15 patch that will be released next Monday hosts the new LDK package {League Development Kit}, which will enable any committed website to create a league of their own. The idea originally was exclusively for WGTour.com however it is unfair for Blizzard to only endorse 1 website, so the option is out there for everyone! WGTour will be the first ladder to use this kit and we are already set to go on to battle.net.
The Starcraft 1.15 patch is the most anticipated patch in the BW history since users already know it will be coming out, however the details are only somewhat known.

This is the important stuff, so it is vital that you read the following!
WGTour Beta Season {May 15 - May 22) :
We are going to start our test beta season, which will last approximately 1 week. The system has been minimally tested for 1v1 games, but to make the system run more smoothly, especially since it's new, we still need to test a few things. There are still a few bugs that need to be modified when the patch arrives, namely point rewards and penalties. We appreciate anybody who will help us test for the first week! We will have a special forum designed for problems during the beta, which you can find by clicking here,
Map Choice:
We require for our ladder games that all matches are to be played on WGTour Official Maps ONLY! If you play a game without it being a WGTour Season Official Map it will not count. The system will only recognize the maps that have been put in. All maps found on the map page {by going to Downloads --> Official Maps} are allowed in the games.
Disconnecting:
Currently there is no system for a disconnect yet since both players will assume the other disconnected on the server. You must follow this link to report games:
http://www.wgtour.com/manualComplaint1v1.php --> 1v1 Games
http://www.wgtour.com/manualComplaint2v2.php --> 2v2 Games
*Both links will be found on the website on your settings menu. It will be here with the other categories:
Problem ?
Update my launcher information
Restrict replays (10% penalty on points!)
Make a Complaint For 1v1 Game
REPAIR MY MATCH LIST
Contact a WGTour Admin
Read the FAQ
Read the bot manual
This menu is specifically for DISCONNECTED games. Other problems must be posted in the forums (EXAMPLES: Hack, Cheat, ETC.)
2vs2:
WGTour is allowing 2v2, however there are a few problems which in the event of a situation where there is conflict (server related, not gamer or personally related) we strongly urge users to post in the forum listed above, or by clicking here.
*You can locate the forum by going to forums --> English Forums --> Ladder Help
In-Game Bugs:
Supposedly there are a few bugs that will come up. If you use one chances are the game will be reviewed if a player complains. Refer to the ladder rules for the list of unallowed bugs.
We appreciate the patience of the WGTour Users, Thank You! Now we hope we can deliver the most efficient and exciting ladder!
