Dear illogical TPG admins,

[cassinoroyale]

dear kevin "mogers" edmunds and whoever who might be interested, please check below:

[spoiler]personally i'm sorry that this has happened again. during last seasons i tried to build and keep teams (invite teams lolol) to keep playing not only because i like to pretend i'm not a shitty rifle (being an retired counter-strike player that attended wcg, eswc, cpl qualifiers, i still love competitiveness) but we would have one more team and therefore i'd help not having teams like 3h, mvpz (last season) or even suap sandbaggers being moved up to a division they don't seem to belong. before going on, on a random side note, your post is god damn epic. it has everything a good read post need to have, even boob gifs. i'd rep train you if i could.

your and 3h's general complain about being moved up and down is a 100% legitimate and i guess it really sucks to be always moved up and down since like 2-3 seasons ago when 3h reformed but you should understand that these decisions needs to be done in order to keep the league stable. i really hope 3h carry on playing and though i can't answer on behalf tpg about this matter i don't see your team moved up and down again anymore through the season (personal opinion). this time around, with 6 teams dying and half of them for stupid actions made by their very players, for the sake of a skill-wise balanced 4 divisions format stability we needed to do that because like trevor said, you guys are halfway invite and main, slightly more invite in my opinion as well.

from what i get not only reading this thread but old pred/random threads is that though you're also saying that it's a misguided idea since your argument is that all the complains and statements about how bad you guys are might have been 1911's jokes i believe you may be acquainted to the proverb "when a thing is funny, search it carefully for a hidden truth" right? you have to agree that even though you guys may not have seriously said that you wanted your team moved down thats how most of the community feel towards 3h situation. me and the rest of the tpg admins feel the same. i'm not saying it's not the truth, but it's how pretty much everyone who isn't from 3h feel.

yours truly,

3h is bad, suap is better. What's wrong about voicing frustration about their legitimate skill level and placement. If im not mistaken this game is about having fun, not getting rolled every week so that there can be an even amount of teams in a division. Is there anything inherently wrong with an odd number of teams in a division? I think it's better to not play 1 match a season than a team just dying because it isn't fun getting destroyed every week. Cal did this all the time and it worked fine, and it allowed for make-up matches to actually be held in the last week (P.S.unlike some brilliant decisions by tpg to not let anyone makeup matches because they didn't have ffs, yet still taking the week off)(P.P.S. avoiding teams not playing every week with even numbered divisions effectively made every team not play for a week.)

3h complained to themselves about being in invite because they knew they didn't belong, but only made a few comments publicly. Again, why do you care if they voice their frustration in a very minor way? Leave them in main, it's not like they steam rolled main last 2 seasons. And if you really need your even divisions move up Suap, they wrecked 3h yesterday.

Well I can't speak for the rest of my team, nor do I heavily follow their posts. I didn't see us complaining, and I haven't complained. We won Main, we go to Invite, it makes sense. If someone has been complaining, it was likely after one of our many horrible losses against every invite team there is. If someone has a screenshot of us doing well against a decent team, I'd love to see it just for the novelty.

Didn't call me either.

You can all blame Matt for not calling you. He's the scrim telemarketer.

Suap, they wrecked 3h yesterday.

We also had two ringers, one of which dropped two 40s.

I do agree that its not the end of the world to have an odd number of teams in a division. SuaP is on the upper end of the skill level of main (no thanks to me), but would get wrecked in invite. I think 3h is in the same boat.
