Whats the difference between a ladder(when you search and match up for games against anytime i think, i saw it on the MLG/Gamebattles site) and a season like ESEA, CEVO etc?

Edit: after a google search(pre-thread) i looked and didnt see anything but things like "SC2 Ladder" or call of duty stuff

A season has a number of predetermined matchups, on set maps. Teams can usually play as many matches as they want against as many teams as they want, at the end of some amount of time the "best" team (as determined by ELO or something similar) is declared the winner. Ladders require a lot less commitment to play in, but haven't really worked all that well for TF2 (not since TWL I think).

Thanks much waldo!
Do you(or anybody else) know of any csgo ladders? Our team is currently awaiting Cevo-S5 and looking into ESEA/Faceit.
