This ladder system sounds really cool. Could be particularly fun during off season and could make scrims slightly more meaningful (even though their #1 purpose is to improve), if it becomes popular to the point where it is easy and fast to quick match for scrims.

I really am looking forward to this new league, and perfect timing as well. Though it concerns me that the league is free to play.
Why not incorporate a pay-to-play and have a prize pool? You will certainly bring in more teams (a lot more teams) in a paid league.
Will the ladders always be there, constantly in the background, and then the league comes up once or twice a year? So after a season of league, can teams continue to climb the ladder year round?
EDIT: If you incorporated two ladder systems, one paid and one free ladder, you would draw in funds during off season, as well as create a ladder system for more dedicated players. There would be more incentive for players to actually use the ladder system (rather than letting it go by the wayside during off season) and there could be a cash payout (or perhaps paid league fees) based on your teams performance in ladder system.)
What is the spectating going to be like? Will there be a client for STV's, or will it be a livestream cast? Will viewers be able to choose who they want to watch, or is at the hands of the cameraman?

As a brand new league, I'd like to see how things work out for a bit before dumping money into them, and I think most people would say the same.

I think having separate ladders would be more detrimental than beneficial. Having paid and non-paid in different ranking systems would just reduce the prestige of climbing the ranks. And I know I am not willing to pay to play during ESEA off seasons, and I imagine many feel the same. Dedication to tf2 does not equal willingness to pay.

Our goal is primarily free to play.
Paid / pro divisions certainly are possibilities. We're doing our best to keep every aspect of the league free. Imagine prize pools with no registration fees...
Ladders are 24x7x365
Leagues are 2-4 times per year, 1 match per week; leaving plenty of opportunity to continue climbing the ladders. All match results across IGL will contribute to your team's RPI (The global rating across all teams, all competitions, all continents). IGL RPI could quite possibly become the new ranking standard for teams.

If possible, if one is rank #1 on ladder could the team get free entry to the paid league? It would give some great attention to actually be rank #1 and would promote the best teams to be in the league for more entertaining matches.
A ladder for open, IM, and invite... Maybe split up some more or how ever you want it.

Yes. Absolutely.
The ladders naturally divide based on the amounts of teams involved in the game. If there are only 20 teams playing, you will only see one tier. 500-team ladders will see tremendous value in the tiered ladder approach.
You get to play with people your skill level, whenever you want, with your team or with friends, within the context of a bigger purpose than just pubbing. And because it's a large-scale amateur league, the pro's will play with the pro's and the amateurs will play with the amateurs. The platform dynamically adjusts.
