Re: main/invite
Three people (1 starter, 2 back up) from the WINNING MAIN TEAM are on this roster. That's not really fair to all the other players now is it? Yes they are decent, yes they can hold their own... what about the other players though. I don't think it's fair to them to be put into invite and be completely shit stomped. All that's asking for is one less team in TPG. We really just want to have fun, and play with our small group of friends. Put us in invite sure whatever, but we are bound to sit in corners prone and be completely gay.defiance wrote:How about actually moving up the team that won main?

Re: main/invite
You guys are crazy, you can't create incentive for individuals to play more just by reshuffling the the talent.
This is a very small community, and so the subtle variants in how people play the game and how "serious" they take it are going to show themselves no matter what you do.
Because our player base is so small, we are always going to have 1-2 teams that will be mostly dominant in their division, be it open, main, or invite.
This has been a problem for the community for such a long time, the notion that Leagues, be it STA, CAL, or TPG, can in any way influence the organic growth or contraction of the competitive community and it's skill base.
This, is simply not true. There is nothing TPG can do to make people "care" more or less about playing.
All a particular league can do is sort through the wreckage as best they can, and try to match up teams in as balanced a way as possible, and I think the TPG admins doing a damn good job of it given the ****.
The same goes for trying to organize a LAN for next year. There is very little that I or anyone else can do to influence the activity level of the community, or influence the number of teams who may/or may want to attend such an event. All we can do is try to come up with the best event we can think of that might incentivize the greatest number of players to attend. If the player base is organically there, and the demand for a tournament high enough, it will happen. If not, it won't. It's that simple.

Re: main/invite
the idea of a draft, i'm sorry, is a terrible idea. i still play now a days to play with the guys i've been playing with for years. if it turned to a draft, i more then likely would hang up my dod boots. but most of all i love yelling in vent and annoying sean with my constant bitching about how bad the other guy who just killed me is.
is thunder the best team every season? realistically yes, we lost a couple seasons back, and still lose 1 or 2 matches every season. but this just shows how the community has changed over the years. even back in 08/09, there were teams that wanted to beat us simply because we are a challenge to play against. but for some reason now everybody would rather show up and stomp people in lower divisions, just so they don't have to lose against us.
in all honesty, the matches where we shit stomp people are the least fun to play. its the matches against koalas/iwa, drugs, and sometimes a few other teams, where we have the most fun. understandable that the game is old and most don't want to practice much or anything, but why not have a challenge and move up? would just make it funner to play

We all know how you operate though, court. You are going to pick up more good people through the course of the season so you and taylor can sit back and play dungeon defenders or hon!c0urt wrote:Correction,alex kirk wrote: Stop dodging it.

Re: main/invite
team binary belongs in main if we wanted a higher caliber team like we intended on doing and succesfully accomplished like last season we would have done so. The fact of the matter is we are not mindflow cant help the fact that we are all realy good friends and were once apart of it. give the invite spot to mvp or 3h who will take the invite spot seriously.
