Goal for this week.

For starters, We need data.

To do this i plan to scrape about 3-4 weeks of data from the solo ladder ( http://www.leagueoflegends.com/ladders/solo-5x5)  and store it in a database. This will allow me to conduct analysis to best determine what the problem is.

The scraper will be implemented in python storing data into a MySQL database.

    This is really interesting. What are you going to use to 'scrape data'? I'm just getting into computer programming, and it'd be cool to know what people actually do with this stuff in the working world.

    I'll be using python with http://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/
    This is a quite common way of building a simple scraper and/or spider
