Confusion of Leagues/Ladders/and their management.

[Squigibo]

Maybe it's me, but with ManiaPlanet games, there seems to be some sort of "disconnect" between the game, finding games, leagues, tourney's, and their management.

You play on a ladder, but you can't see the ladder from any sort of website. I was under the impression that we could set up matches and leagues with ease from the ManiaPlanet Interface. Well, for such a huge part of the game, I can't seem where to see stats, nor setup any sort of league.

I seem to have to resort to digging around forums to find leagues/software etc. I thought this was all supposed to be already built. I find a ton of information in Europe, but in N. America, it's a wasteland. It's cool that ManiaPlanet decided to distribute through Steam, but once the game is installed, we are stuck with PUG games.

I want to setup a league using "Planet" but there doesn't seem to be any incentive to collect "planets".

For this game to be successful in the US, you have to have it as a separate genre, (eSport) and have the tools to promote it. If it's in game,.... I sure can't find it.

any information would be helpful, I just find it odd, that a game that relies on Leagues and Tourney's not to have any access to those important tools.

yeah you are right.
Those things really could be better.

You can create a tourney and have it appear for others under the tab "competitions". but thats about it.
You can also create a team and have it ranked etc etc , but honestly there is no use for it atm.

They should really improve these things.

I think they are working hard on it at that moment, since it's one of the main plans from Hylis, ingame competition and management. Should be released soon.

Atm, i think you can not yt host completly your competition ingame, and h team ladder is not yet active, the only thing you can do is to enter your cometition ingame, with some externl links (and ony in JOUST and ELITE). I may be wrong...

I guess you need to double check or review it.
