TPG Season 27 Main Bracket

[Swiss]

Jim's < cBerry - I scrimmed jim's last night (I think it was their starting roster) and I was impressed. They seemed much more organized on lennon than rr2. And, as long as d-bo doesn't start cheating second half, I think cBerry will be able to pull this off. If they play as well as they did on solitude, that is. Plus, there aren't many ledges one must jump over to get a capout.

Players to watch:
Jim's: duality, ck
cBerry: Insane, scorch (assuming he plays?).

im pretty sure theres a good chance that dsnipes is going to be playing for scorch, not 100% sure on that one. youll have to ask chuck

tpg main and the players in it seem so competitive. seems like so much more fun than rolling over invite

How come you want fun and competition when you've built a "super team" to play in (paraphrasing Matt Rogers) in a world where no one gives shit about being top notch e-players? If you want to have fun you should seriously re-think how your team (and other THUNDER rosters but the currently as well) took away competitiveness and fun from the game.

Even the best rosters can lose... look at Elephant, pure skill and talent all around but they didn't do much at CPL or in Invite. I think THUNDER and Gskill are fair teams, I know Gskill is undefeated but they can lose and that's what keeps it interesting, the fact they can lose. I hate how people complain about these teams, I know I hate playing them but that's because they are just so much better than me and my team. That doesn't mean its not competitive or fun. People need to sit back and relax, play the game, try to win, and make a conscious decision about whether or not they care about winning enough to practice or strat a little; if you do, then do it and try your damn hardest to beat them. If you don't, then just shut up and except the outcome of the match or the season.

You missed my point, which was bitchslappin' taylor whining attitude about HIM not having fun rolling invite (as he says) with a slightly sarcasm. I can't answer for other teams here but as for my team, we much prefer playing against a better and be totally wrecked than steamroll and weaker team. In my opinion Gskill and THUNDER brings competition to the division hypothetically forcing teams who really want to beat them practice and develop. However we are in 2012 and the majority of people who is playing DoD nowadays are doing so strictly for fun and nostalgia sake rather than to prove who is the best team whatsoever.

sounds like you've missed my point.. i said the league seems competitive. want to know why? the players in it actually practice together as a team.. just yesterday i scrimmed two different main teams that put up a good fight against a pug i was in.. i can't remember the last time gskill had a practice. it's fun seeing teams actually try and become better.

also, my team isn't a super team.. i just enjoy playing with everyone on it (hence the reason i cut biggie; i **** hate him)

cass i don't understand why you're so bitter towards me. i figured you would have stopped after flipping in match comm a few weeks ago.

Whoa whoa whoa, pretty sure eLephant made it to invite finals after a big win over veracity. It's just too bad Steve can't do it on LAN.


Also Jared knows me very well, and is invited to do some all day drinking with me while watching Trailer Park Boys, Always Sunny, and FUBAR.

First of all, astonishingly, I wasn't rude in what I wrote I rather pulled your leg this time around. secondly, you have to agree with me that the competitiveness found in main is only obtained because teams are very balanced. When I stated that your "super team" (quoted) took away fun and competition I did it to reflect the way you seem to feel towards invite. Perhaps I missed an "from yourselves" in my last sentence but if that clear things up a bit please consider it in. Lastly, I'm pretty sure I overreacted in the match comm when you asked to use your server instead of ours, that's why I apologised. It have nothing with this or any time I crossed your opinions here before. Tbh I think you're a whiner sometimes but a cool nonetheless. And I'm glad you finally realized that biggie is a sore loser and a cancer of your previous teams. For Christ's sake I even removed my pug team from euro tournies when they corruptly banned you from their shitty league. l8pz

I think you might be right... they did make it pretty far in Invite. I guess the point I was trying to make is that the pure skill and talent of teams like elephant and gskill just doesn't trump team work like x6, coL, and thunder.

Yeah I was nitpicking because I'm a butthead. Your point stands that they underperformed given their enormous, elephant sized talent, especially given that it followed a website declaring that the express intention of forming this super team was to win CPL 05.
