What I'm saying that you've done extremely well in the past, and people have a reason to be scared of you. I'm not saying it's right. I don't think people should be mad at you for wanting to play.

Radley, you're awesome in a good way. You never had to sign up to play this but you offered to and even set up your own team to help people. If people are annoyed at you being good, who cares. It's a for fun league and there's bound to also be decent players in it!
|
Btw, tonight I am going to fill in the results of week 2 & 3. Will take some vyvanse and coffee and go through every single replay again. Wish me luck.
Also just so ppl are aware, I'm going to get in contact with Mac&Cheese and El Estarcraf tonight to see if any of the players are interested in joining together as well as picking up players for their team so we only have to deal with 1 walkover every week rather than 2.
edit: i'm gonna make an awesome long post tonight with updates and cool shet. you guys will luv it.
|
Someone should pick me up for their team c:
I'm a Protoss player
edit: nvm made a team
|
Pick me up. I wanna play. E-rank on ICCUP
:-)

I've made some big changes that I want to address real quack:
- El Estarcraf has been dropped from the league: They have not showed up for three weeks and the week they did show up, they only had two players show. They have been removed from the league and Mourning Wood has taken their place. Starting next week marks the halfway point of the league. No more team replacements will happen at that point. Starkraft Mac&Cheese is encouraged to show up, but is subject to replacement next week. New teams unfortunately start with the records of the teams they replace (0-4), but are eligible for prizes still.
- There are now prizes, as promised: There will be a bunch of small prizes available. This league is not about prizes, but since I did promise and wanted to personally have "for fun" prizes, they are now here! The categories for the prizes will not be revealed until the league is over as to prevent any sabotaging. Players may receive more than one prize. If your team did not have a walkover loss, you are eligible for a prize. New sign-ups are still eligible for prizes until week 6.
- New Caster: QS is unfortunately going to be unavailable to cast for the next 6+ weeks due to IRL commitments, but another volunteer has come forward so we are going to continue having casts of the Rookie TL.
- Wiki pages will be updated: Tonight/tomorrow I am going through three weeks of replays and am going to update all the info of the previous matches. This will have detailed info so you can see who specifically played on what map and how they did.
With this all said, I highly encourage teams to organize their rosters for week 5. We are very close to the halfway point of the league. If you have players that are not showing up, do not hesitate to add other players. Please get in contact with your leaders, and if they are unresponsive, take initiative to add players to your roster yourself.
Also a special thanks to all the players who have showed up and played all their games, even if they already lost for the week. You will have a higher chance of winning prizes. The categories will definitely surprise a lot of people I believe, and I just want to say that truly anyone is eligible for them. They will not be only for the best players.

On another note, I'm still missing some replays from Week 4:
All PewPew vs SFI replays.
All AoV vs Shieldbattery replays except evilEye vs Aiwekas.
Team Melee & BGH of Momo vs Whites and Chinks (unless they were not played).
|
Any available players can join team shieldbattery, I can't play and allandarity has gone awol for a few weeks so we're down to three

We've also only got 3 players really in Secret Forum Illuminati. FlashFTW hasn't been around since week 1 and Genji hasn't been around to play for 2 weeks either. (although Genji got the times mixed up last week)

Don't think I can take part but I like what you're doing and that you guys who are doing it!

My apologies, I have been away this week so have neglected some team organisation, aside from getting people to show up and play. I'll try and get my guys to send in their reps asap.

To weigh in, having played Radley in the first week he seems like a totally valid competitor within the rank restrictions, when playing as Z. I see no issue there.

Is there a discord channel to talk to my teammates? I would like to play some training games with the team.
|
Going to make some posts on other websites tonight to lure some more people in before we sort of close up the prize entrees and mark the halfway point of the league, so teams should keep their eye out and pick up players.
|
W&C is looking for a 5th as well. Ideally someone very active.
|
I just updated the first three weeks of the wiki. It took several hours so someone please notice and enjoy it.
Also updated the standings for up to week 3. After week 4 is casted, I'll update everything.

Hey everyone!
I finally finally edited/highlight/exported Rookie Teamleague Week 2 and Week 3 live casts to YouTube VODs!
YouTube VODs: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTFrszTgMIvbUWWO9SE84UmbS9zln9ORJ
That's it for me! I just started my new full-time job and I will be taking a break from casting for a while as I will move to a completely new city in few weeks due to job and not have a full load PC for a while.
|
Qikz and I are gonna cast week 4. I will post more details as they become available. Just prepare your bodies.

I fully appreciate the fact that this is a for-fun league and that there is a certain degree of vagueness of "rookie" in the title. Technically we are all noobs compared to the pros. I also appreciate top rank players playing off-race. But I just gotta put it out there: I think I have had the toughest set of matches in my 1v1 BW career in this tour. This is both daunting and exciting. Thank you to Faust and to my opponents. If I was extra salty after getting bopped like the noob I am, I'm sorry. Also sorry to my team for getting bopped on a weekly basis, and congratulations to those of you on my team who managed to win/have good games against strong players. Sorry I can't match your results.

Shieldbattery wouldn't mind merging with Secret Forum Illuminati. We currently have 2-3 active players, last week only 2.
