I am like even w/l vs iopq or maybe even like 2-3 or something, if you want replays or you can elaborate better on why I am not permitted to play, then please do so, otherwise this is just complete and utter garbage bias, as if the BW Foreign scene is flooded with players right now, blah i'm done, but it is obvious that I am right. How many people have to vouch for me before this was an obvious BS decision? You've lied about your skill so often to fit into a league, it's become comical. If we go through your posting history, we will see evidence of you trying to sign up for: D Rank Team League C Rank Team League Coach Pupil League While also claiming a max rank of B. So frankly, if I was an organizer for a league of this nature, I would absolutely not let you in, knowing that you will say whatever it takes to get your ass into this league, present whatever account suits your narrative, etc. So, it's easier to just let you off easy and give you that validation that "you're too good" and continue to justifiably ostracize you. Just my two cents. | ||

The term rookie has never been more misused in the history of foreign Brood War. This league exists to stroke the egos of foreigners who have literally been playing since the game's inception. The tournament is bound to be filled with a bunch of genuine rookies who will act as mere punching bags for these heavily experienced foreigners. Meanwhile they get to all make it to the final stages of the tournament, and enjoy the false satisfaction of placing highly. Don't even bother applying unless you genuinely enjoy stroking the egos of experienced players who have always lacked the motivation or desire to actually become high level. I was wondering for myself. I'd like to participate in such thing, but I play SC since 2002, so I can't really say that I'm rookie. I haven't played for ~7 years and am at MMR ~1700 right now - I most probably will be able to reach much higher MMR, however i have no time to practice. On the other hand - there are already registered like tons of good players who will beat anyone at a 'rookie' level and joining the league makes no sense to me. I've just had this thought process going on for the past week... | ||

People who feel that the range of skill for this league is not low enough for them, I understand that is their prerogative, and I support their decision to not play. There used to be a league that may be more in line with their desired skill level that is called "Coach/Pupil League" that was previously ran by L_Master and uses a "teaching" format. A large portion of the players who participated in that league are actually in Rookie Teamleague 2. You can read more about it here: http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/Coach-Pupil_League Also I feel as if the only problem with ego issues is not of the people who have entered, but rather the people who are not entering on the basis that they don't feel like they will be able to win enough. As someone who enters tournaments all the time when I know I have no chance (Clash for Chars / TL Opens), I can tell you it is literally as easy as clicking "register" and having a fun time. If losing bothers you that much, especially at a lower level, maybe you should find another way to invest your time that is less stressful for you. | ||

Just my two cents. Peoples skills change, and this little league was just for fun, your attempt to try to justify a BS ruling just makes you look like even more of a band wagoner, than you already appear to be, you ever think for yourself or just run around spamming your over sense of entitlement for no reason?

Chat crafting hero He isn't even playing in the league and he was one of the people who took most issue with the rulings of the first league, so what you're saying makes literally no sense. Also I PM people because this thread really isn't for discussion, and it is distasteful to bring up names of people who were not allowed in without their permission. Also if you or anyone else I said no to genuinely believes I'm being unfair or doing this from a place of bias or malice, please read the first Rookie Teamleague thread: HERE.The topic sits at 36 pages and over half of the posts are debates and discussion about how lax I was about player entry and skill level. It killed the enjoyment for a portion of players and some even stopped showing up because of how stacked the rosters became after each subsequent week. My only intention with doing this new system was to prevent that from happening again. I honestly do not want to say no to people and feel regret when I have to exclude people who show interest in something I specifically made for people to take interest in. | ||

How about a grudge match, if I win I gain entry, if I lose then I’ll never sign up for another one of these amateur leagues again. Deal? ... Especially since you told people I dodged you, let’s make this interesting. | ||

Chat crafting hero You applied for the D and C leagues by LYING about your rank. That's not a change in skill. That's you intentionally trying to deceive organizers. "you ever think for yourself or just run around spamming your over sense of entitlement for no reason" Ignoring the fact that this is illegible garbage, name one thing that I said that was a repetition of what someone else said in this thread and was unoriginal? I brought an entirely new argument and perspective to the table. Just lol.
