Are you one of those people who finds themselves watching StarCraft more than playing it?

The Sc2replaystats.com ladder challenge is a fun but motivating challenge that provides what the StarCraft ladder system is missing.

Just choose a goal for weekly number of ranked 1v1 games played, and the Sc2replaystats.com website will track your progress, give you motivation reminders, pair you with a rival to compete against, and compare your progress to others.

Each season we’ve had hundreds of participants for the ladder challenge, and it’s proven time and time again to be great playing motivation, a fun tool, and an excellent way to improve to get that league promotion.

If you simply have a busy life and struggle to find time for StarCraft, the challenge can help you too. The challenge helps you stick to a schedule so you can plan a certain amount of games into your week.

Additionally, playing regularly and consistently is one of the best ways to improve. No matter who you are or how you enjoy SC2, the ladder challenge can help you.

Simply create an account (if you don’t already have one!) sign up on the ladder challenge page and choose your weekly goal and include a note for you rrival, and then upload your replays after you play them!

The website will automatically track your progress, offer you rich statistics, and pair you with a rival to compete against. During the sign-up process, you can even opt-in to receive email reminders when you fall behind in the challenge.

For our last challenge over 250 players participated, and thanks to the ladder challenge they played over 107322 games!

Here are what some participants think of the challenge:

Nightshark:

I decided to do the ladder challenge to give myself motivation for this season. I have been in gold since June 2013 until the start of this season. Yesterday I hit diamond. Cheers. I recommend it to everyone. There’s no magic build, race, strategy, etc that will get you where you want to be… just good old fashion practice, which the ladder challenge gives good motivation to do.

ChanKim:

“Sc2replaystats has definitely helped with my ladder practice. It keeps track of how many games I’ve played per week and I’d recommend it to anyone who needs some motivation to ladder. Hopefully I can play even more games in this new season!”
