I suggest a system where pro's will meet pro's and new players will be in the new player league.
A first time (new created account) will automatically be assinged to the new player league...
Once a player has proven skill etc, they can be upgraded to the intermediate league etc... this works great in startcraft.
You can also have more then one "winner" ..
Ranked 1 of pro league,
Ranked 1 of intermediate league, etc..
This helps as well vs point harvesting, noob bashing etc, since you should only be able to play vs opponents in the same league.
It will also be attractive to new players since they have the time to learn the game.
just some thoughts..
