What's different? That this thread has way more content than a normal LR thread already? That's no reason to shut it down.

I did mention before that the mods actually harvest the hype to use as weapons of war.
Maybe they're using it to fuel the Liquid players in 2015 because of the Liquidbias.

I have a feeling this will get dirty
It would be really nice if an alternate solution was found though

Ya, a lot of this thread is cringeworthy, and it isn't high quality, but I still think keeping it as is and just start enforcing rules when the tournament starts is better than scraping the whole thing and starting over. You knew this was happening when the thread was made a month in advance.
