It was voted on, by players in this league, not to allow it. Its not about it being "unfair". If you actually read things said by other people (which it doesn't seem like you have), you would see why he isn't allowed in. You can keep making big ass posts trying to get him in the league if you want, but you are probably just wasting your time. Also, just an aside, no one cares if you think the upper level players in the league should leave the league or not. But if you want to complain about that, at least be more transparent about it. | ||

Also who voted? I didn't see any vote. Let's host a poll now. I don't know how well it will go for me but whatever lets see. Poll: Should puppykiller be allowed to join DRTL with his D+ zerg No (34) Yes (26) This poll is stupid. (13) 73 total votes Your vote: Should puppykiller be allowed to join DRTL with his D+ zerg | ||

Dunno what's so hard to understand that... | ||

Well, I guess I should point out that I'm not playing in the DRTL, or even ever applied to play in any D-ranked league. All I'm saying is that if people want to play in a league because they love playing StarCraft, and meet the requirements, then I see no problem. There are a bunch of C- people who don't want Puppykiller because they don't want to lose, and want to bash on players like yourself instead.

What a lot of people fail to realize is that a lot people when they first join the league (and I'll just use Nagisama as an example) struggled to stay out of D-, but through hard work and constant practice with people, not to mention taking a lot of pretty harsh coaching at times, he was able to scrape C- for the very first time. The same can be said for many players in this league who could do the same too, but don't because they either can't find games or they just choose not to ladder at a certain point. It's clear to me that Redaxis, Babo, Arb, Sentenal, and a number of other players in the league could easily do the same, but the reason why they're allowed to stay in was because they were in the league from the beginning and they've been improving steadily as time goes on. If you take away a lot of these players just from the basis that they're C-, you're robbing a lot of the personalities and gamers that are really fostering good competition and helping each other improve. The league has decided not to include players who are known in the community for having gotten C- relatively recently for their own reasons, and regardless of whether I agree or disagree, I think the distinction is pretty clear to me and is relatively consistent with how the league operates. I'm not one to really care, but I think when Nagisama is getting called out for being C- and trying to just keep "winning", that's just fucking dumb and is offensive to how much work and practice he puts in to making himself better. | ||

There is massive difference. Also, I know very well that you do not play in the DRTL. My point is that if you do not want for these so-called C- players (again you are just working on your own assumption on that one) to speak their mind, why the hell should you get to speak your own? Do not think you're anything special that gets to talk whatever the hell they want. | ||

thought it was made clear that people that joined this league were allowed to continue being in the league, even if they scraped C- rank (exceptions, like l3gendary, were those who made it all the way to C rank). The reason is because (hopefully), people improve. What a lot of people fail to realize is that a lot people when they first join the league (and I'll just use Nagisama as an example) struggled to stay out of D-, but through hard work and constant practice with people, not to mention taking a lot of pretty harsh coaching at times, he was able to scrape C- for the very first time.

This is worth noting. That is why some of these borderline players are indeed allowed. Especially in the absence of a currently running CRTL, I'm not going to remove players for getting to good as that is rather the opposite of what we would like to have happen (even if player improvement isn't a goal of the league). When/if I get an active CRTL running, many of these players will probably be asked/forced to play in the appropriate league. | ||

DeSPA - 1 Airforce Ace of Spades - 9 Phoenix - 5 Courage - 10 Stealth Bunnies - 10 TAKK - 13 NW Power - 14 SunKan - 9 This gives us 8 teams, which I am sure most agree is a nice number. I'm happy with number of players on Courage, SB, TAKK, and NW. SunKan and Ace could use an extra player or two, but they are low priority. AA needs a team. Phoenix needs a few. We have 12 free agents, 8 go to AA to bring him to 9, and 4 to Phoenix also giving 9. This doesn't leave any drafting for SunKan, but I think it's more important to get other teams up to a decent roster. Hopefully we can get another 3-4 in the next week or two. Thoughts? | ||

I guess understanding context is pretty hard. Okay. You keep saying that people don't want Puppykiller in the league, because they are afraid of him, and just want to bash on low level D- players. Who are you talking about? You are trying to talk shit to said players, but are too afraid to name them. | ||

DeSPA has two... With the number of free agents we have available and with SunKhan bolstering up their own roster, I say why not just let DeSPA and Phoenix get to around 8 players, and let other teams choose a free agent, starting from the team with the least number of players, so that even Airforce Ace of Spades and maybe Courage can get a chance to draft a player or two. | ||

I didn't realize that C- isn't C- so I apologize. I get what you're saying (and to some extent, I agree), but the league here has a very different interpretation for what comprises of a C- player (what they consider a "true" C- player). A lot of players here merely hit C- and stop without going any further. In a way this makes it difficult to gauge their true rank, but systems aren't perfect, and just from a good all around evaluation of the games played during the last few seasons, anyone can lose to anyone (almost). If you were a true C- rank player, you would have nigh ridiculous statistics and win rates over other people (at least according to this league). | ||
