Now that you mentioned him, it looks like Kai have risen a lot in rank. 23-5 and 16-1 this season. That's incredibly strong, although the sample size is small.


Honestly, his DRIT games looked really shaky...

And I'm far from being too good in this league, Iccup is just really easy...

If iccup is easy for you, then maybe you shouldn't play in this league. This league is meant for ppl who consistently win against red ranks around 35% of the time, maybe stretching up towards 50%. That's what it claims anyway. I know that there are other players who have performed really well on ladder, like arb, but his stats are not this strong, plus his performance in the league have not been top tier. You, on the other hand won the last DRIT, and have been a top performer in the league every single season you have played. If by saying "Iccup is just really easy..." you mean that this is the kind of winrate you typically get, then it's crystal clear that you shouldn't be playing in this league. However, if this is just a good run, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.

I just want the rules to be followed.

And l1ghtning., I understand your point, but I've only participated in drit4 and 5 so not dominant every time I played ;p anyways, I am pretty much floating around D+ and C-n on ladder, but in tournaments Im pretty bad because of the pressure ^^

I don't...kukuk DTs.

Yea, this poll is now making me suspicious as fuck. 100 votes? There aren't even 100 players in the league, and I am quite confident not all 40 or 50 players in the league care enough to vote.

I may just have to go with the "vote in thread" option. I'll make a decision tomorrow.

Democracy shouldnt be the way we make decisions in the league anyway. Its an unacceptable precedent for the league to say a player cant leave and make a new team. Simple as that, really.

Who said they can't? The poll's supposed to be about. Is a team allowed to split in 2 due to size. Get admins involved I say name and shame the troll voters.

I don't really get what the problem with the team split is. It just seems that people think that it would lead to cheating? Quite frankly, if that's the general sentiment, it's pretty sad and speaks loads about the state of the league... Why can't you just give them the benefit of the doubt and, you know, play? If some wonky business DOES happen (not saying that it would), I believe that L_Master would be able to make an adequate decision and that's that.

As for tonight, I'm not really familiar with him as a player, but after reading a bit around the thread, it seems that he's "good" enough to play in the league.

With that said, can't wait for Friday

I wanted to change nickname so I had the same nick on TL as on iccup, so it would be easier (especially for new players) to identify me. I have too many posts on ninini to change my nick, so I had to create a new account.

I don't see the point in comparing yourself with other top players in the league, as there are many players whose peak rank is fairly unknown, and if we freeze all the players in this league and move forward 2 years, then several players will probably be well into the C ranks. My point is that the skill levels of all top players needs to be re-evaluated regularly, and compared with outsiders, to make sure that this stays as a D rank league. That's why we need to look at iccup ladder results. This is not about removing players who are too op, it's about making sure that the league follows its own rules. If you can consistently put out those numbers on iccup, then you shouldn't be playing here, but if you can't, you might/might not be in the skill range for this league, it depends on how great of a difference we're talking about. TheMarine[BG], with 140 games over 3 seasons and a 55% winrate is a good example of the upper range. Anyone who consistently performs better than that shouldn't play here, not according to me, but according to the rules. Obviously you can't just look at winrates, but if there's not enough games for a player to reach his peak rank, it's a good place to start.

Basically as L1ghtning said, players that have been in these leagues for awhile are bound to improve to the point of C-/C. I definitely think people like the captains should all get together and firmly decide on whether certain players are right for the league, regardless of supposedly "flawed" iCCup ranking or TrueSkill.

Yes, it will hurt the league to take some of the strongest players out, if need be, even if they are the most active, but just for the sake of keeping the league active, should we extend the league to D-/D/D+/C-/C leagues?

I am not aware about all players, but at least from watching the DRIT games, I honestly doubt that there is anyone who could reach C without any kind of abuse like only playing against D-opponents.
On the other hand, I feel like there are tons of people who can, more or less easily, reach C-...

Yes, we should do that. Its pointless to go down on your sword just to 'follow the rules', something we can change at the drop of a hat. Regardless, most of Kais records are against d players. I never drop games to D players, it doesnt make him beyond the threshold of the league.

Edit: I vote YES on splitting the teams.

Yea, no fucking way this poll can be a true reflection.

I'll give people 5 days to vote in the thread if they have an opinion. If this is drastically different than the poll I will take that into consideration.

So, if you have an opinion on a team splitting you need to post here in the thread with a vote of yes or no
