If you have found yourself wondering at some point how it is possible that Tim_ appears twice in top 10 RM Ladder, how come RiuT - the champion of BCC 3 - is ranked 249th, or whether the names that stand proudly in top 10 truly represent the best players in the world, then you are in for a piece of good news.

Following L_Clan_Chris's appeal for RM ladder quality improvement which stirred quite a discussion both here and over at Voobly Forums, Voobly team has introduced a new promising RM ladder that is going to be considerably more accurate at judging players' skill. The main feature that should help its popularity is that it only takes into account 1v1 games and while the old ladder still remains intact and people can continue playing in old RM Lobbys, it is quite possible that before soon everyone will come to regard the new rating as the one which shows players' true skill.
However, a new RM Ladder is not the only fruit of Chris's campaign - shortly after the Canadian legend claimed that most of the top-ranked players refused to face him, [RVK]Tim_ appeared and issued a challenge for a 1v1 match. Unfortunately, Chris was not online at the time but taking his words into consideration: "I have yet to turn down 1v1 rated from someone within 100 points", I think we can certainly expect this battle to take place soon.
