i think it's giving the entrants the benefit of the doubt and out of goodness of heart, which i like a lot what's so bad about D players watching other D players play other D players ? even if they are or were once a higher ranked player i guess it'd be up to you senses to see just how amazing of a player you are if you need to stomp around D players trying to have fun in a 'tournament' dedicated to them right ? lol just relax what's wrong with holding a small tournament and having fun with it? | ||

A rank does. Not everybody can achieve A rank. I honestly don't have any idea what rank I am. I have around 200 apm sometimes, and I guess I can play as high as C rank, and sometimes as low as D rank. Sometimes also I stop playing cuz I don't have time. My level is incredibly inconcistant. So what? Will I be smurfing if I take part of that? If I do really good, how will you prove that I am smurfing or not playing really good today? You say being D rank as "being bad", not at never achieving C-. Good. The purpose of a league is to play as good as possible. So the one who will win will probably be, at best around C+. You can't compare with people abusing TSL. You can prove that someone has been abusing. Now everytime someone will win a game you will have people to say "No, he is too good, he is not D, ban him ban him!" That's really stupid stupid stupid idea. Sorry. PS: Plus apm cap is moronic as at D level races are completely imba. 70 apm toss with limited knknowledge of the game can win a 170 apm ran who knows his bo and game flow but doesn't have the multitask to babysit his army. Kinda have to agree here, you can't measure 'skill' at d/d+ ranks entirely, and you won't be able to keep out smurfs or higher ranks. The pool of people that the tourney is intended for would be very hard to filter out between enormous range of people just with a D icon next to their name. | ||

U talk about the weekly turny? There is actually a lot of higher ranked ppl in the sc2gg turnys nowdays. All of the sc2gg turnys and cups have a high number of C and above ranked players. | ||

edit: an apm limit might be interesting... yes i know apm doesn't equal skill, but if i have to face against a 300 apm "d" level, i know something's fucked up. | ||

I agree. Simply removing any prize will drastically reduce the number of money smurfs and only leave the asshole smurfs. I'm only going to enter this for fun and to read people bashing our noobish playstyles. :D | ||

The 'prize', if you will, could also be something that really, very few good players would want. Like a banner that states "I won the D-rank Tournament." Not something that people want to win for material gain. | ||
