But I'd like to apply for D or at least D+ skill level. I have roughly played 60 or 70 1on1 in the past 3 years (including like 20 or 30 DRTL/CRTL games). Yes I have hit C-, but I am really noobish. Especially playing all 3 races and all 9 matchups. So please re-evaluate my ranking to D or D+. Thank you. | ||

Despite being on the same team, I disagree with this second proposal, first one is up to Lmaster, but no specific practice kind of defeats the purpose of prep leagues. You want to be both random and to have easier opponents (where playing random will be a greater advantage), for a fun league you care a lot about winning in that case. | ||

As long as their isnt any overwhelming amount of c- players in pool as a whole, D players will primarily be meeting other D rank players. But that shouldnt mean they dont run the risk of getting curb stomped, or perhaps even rise to the occasion and beat someone whos 'better'. Finding myself on both sides of the fence it's both not fun being owned and not fun owning people so hard. It's much more entertaining to play somewhat close games which is hopefully what this will end up doing. | ||

Really most of the people here complaining about random, never played random themselves. Its a massive addition of knowledge you need to understand 9 matchups instead of 3. If I would care about winning, I would play Protoss only (easy race). I am only asking to re-evaluate my ranking, as I just play some matches yesterday and saw that I suck hard. I do not mind playing in the C- class, as I will have my fun, but I just wanted to say that I am definitly not C- anymore and thus might lower the fun part for the C- players having literally zero competition. | ||

Also, in light of: On November 19 2014 14:07 Snipinpanda wrote: So I've technically never hit C, though if you want to consider my rank as that, then whatever. I've also have not been active over the past two years. Panda never hit C, much less C+, and has been inactive for a long time, same as many people in this league. I think allowing Panda as a C- player should be fine, especially seeing as you are allowing other former C Rank players into the league. | ||

Not only does it reduce the strategy involved on picking the lineup, it'd also be incredibly boring to see the same map played out 4-7 times in a cast. If multiple clanwars are casted on the same day, you could see the same map up to 14 times. | ||

Who needs diversity anyways??? | ||

Is this he same caller that talked a lot of shit about how good he was at BW, got called out by Chill and had his ass handed to him? | ||

Come on man, don't give me the passive aggressive stuff. The explanation is good enough. I don't see any reason not to take you at your word, and you're a longstanding TL member so I'm okay with you playing.

Could be amended either direction depending on just how he looks. On November 20 2014 23:25 Artanis[Xp] wrote: I'd be strongly against one map per week.

For ease of facilitation and practicing for newer players maps will remain as is. Rest assured if this goes reasonably well and a full length league is held one map for all matchups will not be the modus operandi for that league.
