With this practice, however, the channel chat window would quickly become flooded with with a wall of text, making it very difficult to decipher in finding a potential opponent. In years past, players would post their points status and readiness to play in the channel chat window as they to sought out potential opponents of a comparable skill level. New or reset ladder accounts start at 1000 points while the bottom floor is 150 players dropping below 150 points will have to reset their point totals to 1000.įish 1v1 Ladder players generally congregate in the "" channel. The amount of meele wins gained or lost is affected by winning/losing streaks. A loss in a ladder game will subtract a win from one's melee win total, so players who dip below 30 wins may have to play further melee games to re-qualify for the ladder.
To qualify as a ladder game, both players must have 30 or more melee wins and must have been logged-in for at least 48 hours total to the server (the remaining time can be checked by the server command /lc). the losing streak penalty is capped at -37 (losing streak of 8+). Correspondingly, losing three consecutive games would result in -25, -26, -27 points, and so on. The win streak bonus is capped at +35 points (a winning streak of 6+). For example, during a three consecutive win streak against an opponent of the same rank, the winner earns +25, +27, and +28 points, respectively, and so on. Similarly, a two rank difference results in a +15 (in winning)/-35 (in losing) points swing for the higher ranked player, while the lower ranked player experiences a +35/-15 point swing.įurthermore, effective January 1, 2015, players can earn win streak bonuses while getting penalized for losing streaks. Consequently, if the B-ranked player were to beat the A-ranked player, the former exchanges +30 (in winning) or -20 (in losing) points. If the A-ranked player competes against a B-ranked player, however, the former would exchange either +20 (in winning) or -30 (in losing) points - in this example, the one rank difference between the two competitors results in a 5 more points exchanged (1 ranking difference x 5 points/ranking difference) than a game between equivalent ranks. For example, a match between A-ranked players results in the same amount of points exchanged (+25/-25) as one between E-ranked players. Each disparity in rank results in five more points being exchanged than a match between equally ranked players. More points are won in beating opponents who are higher ranked. That is, if 25 points are gained, or expressed as +25, by the winner, the losing player loses 25 points, or -25. Generally, the number of points gained by the victor and lost by the defeated are of equal in magnitude (in opposite directions) and totals 50 net. The rank assignments are divided per the table below : The Fish ladder provides an objective gauge of player skill or achievement, alongside other ranking systems such as Elo ratings and KeSPA rankings. The Ladder ranks range from F- to S, with the ranking determined by the points earned by the player.
generally every three months, such that all accumulated Ladder points are expunged. The Ladders reset on a regular basis, i.e. The Fish Server operates a 1v1 Ladder and 2v2 Ladder that updates in real-time. The higher skill level and language barrier are the primary reasons as to why beginners are urged to play on ICCup instead.Īs of 2019, the Fish server is no longer running. Because the server and website is in Korean and have no translations available, the language barrier has usually driven many players to play on the ICCup instead.Īlthough there are players of all skill levels on Fish, the playerbase is generally considered much more skillful than even the best melee players on any other server due to the large number of ex-pro-gamers and strong amateurs. It has about 10,000 - 15,000 users online during its peak hours (~6:00 PM - 12:00 PM KST), comprising of mostly Korean players.
