Can we have an amateur league(C-/C+) instead? I don't think the majority of Tl.netter's are noobs :/. Better yet, we should have gg.net vs tl.net vs yaoyuan 3 way 200 man tourney!

Like eager-beaver said, how is this gonna work? Super noob vs super noob at finals? No fun man

Yeah in that poll where we had what is your pgt rank it seems that we had most in the C rank range.

noobs wouldn't visit tl.net

and from waht i can see from that list a lot of those people are 200 apm + and can go pretty good on wgt/pgt.. this aint no "noob" league (you could call it that if u used korean standards perhaps)
I really wanted a bigger opponent, like Nate Marquardt, or King Neptune, or Zeus, or Zeus and Fedor, or Fedor on Zeus's shoulders, and they can both punch but only Zeus can kick.

Well, C/C+ rank are good enough to play PGT and this leauge was intended (I think) for those who aren't good enough to compete competitively in a ladder.

pgtour would still be best for them if people would stop resetting/new account and would play at their proper rank. maybe pgtour needs more lower ranks, too, but isnt the main problem that people aren't willing to play at their rank, mainly?

the point was to encourage noobs to play. if new people don't pick up the game, it will mean a slow death for starcraft

Noobs do visit this site :p
This site reads well (layout) and theres a lot of interesting and funny stuff posted with the occasional bad apple which i just skip reading.

I don't really play starcraft anymore. I played about a year ago on wgt about 5 or 6 games when I got abused (I lost vs someone and he reported it 3 times with the same replay if I remember it correctly) not that I actually won any games on wgt but still :p

Nowadays I don't really play any strategy games, occasional wc3 game against friends or classmates but nothing competative really. Can I come try playing in about 6+ hours? I'm at work right now. I'll have to play from my old pc though since my new one doesnt have starcarft on it
xD

TNL is pretty much inactive at the moment. We need to wait for Smurg or Tracil to do something and organize before we can actually gather people.

So.. the winner will be like nominated the worst player ever award or?
Would be cool if in the finals of the tournament the judges would disqualify the winner because he played too good

There is no intermediate level playground. 200 APM players as newbees is rediculous in TNL. Between players who can only execute 1 strat a bit and the lower competative tiers of PGT and other legueas there is just B.net wasteland. It's a huge gap. Losing at least 9 out of 10 games on ladders but demolishing absolute beginners. They are in the gap.

i think the way to do a newbie league would be to hold a series of tourneys

tourney 1 - open to anyone
tourney 2 - open to people who were eliminated in tourney 1 in the first or second round
...

of course you can't stop fakers, so maybe you need to coerce people to try to win. like make 2 leagues. winners and losers.

tourney 1 - open to anyone
tourney 2a - open to the top half of tourney 1
tourney 2b - open to the top half of tourney 1
etc.
u could use this to create a Winner's league and a Loser's league.

the league should try to give people what they want. which is probably a series of games in a predictable environment, like, you know the player's race (sorry randomers), you play the same map, 7 games against the same person, who hopefully is matched evenly with you. the league would schedule matches like this for you guys and try to keep track of who is better than who.
