This is bullshit, what the fuck guys? What the FUCK?

How can we have an awesome money ladder/tourney and STILL manage to fag this shit up with hacks/abuse/overall shadiness/stupidity?

Maybe the next TSL should be fucking invite only.

Another thing, does abuse have to be EXPLICITLY mentioned as a reason for ban? REALLY? I feel bad for G5 honestly, he played all those games only to get kicked for a reason he himself knew he would get in trouble for (among other things). Maybe the ban is too harsh or maybe isn't harsh enough, I'm going to have to trust the TL staff on this one.

In addition, as far as I'm concerned whatever Mani says is fucking set in stone.

Edit: so it wasn't a ban, like I said trust TL.

Abuse in inevitable. Most players do the right thing by the system, but there are always going to be those who ruin it for the many.

G5 did what he did, it has been dealt with. Whether or not people think it was the right thing is irrelevant now. A decision has been made, so it's time to move on.

Basically Hot_Bid's argument is: we work a lot, thanks us, don't look for mistakes.

Fine, the ladder looks great until now (really). No further comments from me. Just think if maybe improvement and progress don't somtimes come from people who don't just say 'Bravo' all the time.

And yeah, i have a comfortable chair, I hope that's not a problem.


No, HB's argument was we work really hard, thus we have a lot more information and experience dealing with these issues than you do. The decisions you are questioning are a result of a long and exhaustive process in which we analyzed all the possibilities. You are welcome to your opinion, but the TSL team has made the decision that it felt was best for the ladder.

Constructive, informed criticism is great. We actually fixed a lot of the problems with the ladder this way. Many of the top players spent time suggesting and discussing things with our staff, along with several others who volunteered their time and effort (flag being the most notable right now). Many others contributed by finding us music, writing interview questions, talking about format, donating art, or even something as small as finding grammatical or format or timing errors.

Lol G5, 3 games vs an offrace playing friend that all last under 10 minutes (for TvP thats quite unusual I guess). And having that happen after numerous complaints..

I don't know why people doubt this decision

Anyone with an ounce of common sense can see what G5 did.

Maybe he thought it wasn't against the rules, but the admins have found that it was.

Case closed people, move on!

People constantly confunse the right to play with a freeride to being a bitch.
It's the same when some people jump at iccup staff for being to slow or incompetent for whatever reason.

It's truly wonderfull how the majority of players are able to just play and have a good (or hard) time climbing the ladder. Lot's of excitement here and there and a league that, without a doubt, generates a ton of work for the admins but keeps on riding the path of success.

Some players need to just enjoy the game, maybe take a step back and think about why they're allways in the line of fire.

With eager i await the next step of tsl.

Ideally all players should play with only sportsmanship in mind. This means always playing your best, winning through fair means (by this I mean no cheating), not handpicking opponents or matchups, not using friendships to exploit tournament rules. I feel that several players have faltered to live up to this ideal. And I am not sad at all to see some of these players get punished for it.

Because I'm not in control of looking at abusers, and unfortunately everyone is very busy. HotBid is writing his finals this week, which is why he hasn't had the time to spend listening to every complaint.

All I can say is that we are handling it. I don't think you would have the dedication to spend 10 hours looking at abusers the day before your finals began, so just appreciate what our admins are putting into this, and have faith that we will address all issues as they are brought to our attention.

God if I hear one more person ask why X player hasn't been adjusted for too many games yet or why they haven't announced the top 48 yet I'm going to suicide. They've already said clearly that it will take them a little time. They aren't machines (outside of the bedroom).

G5 knew better than to play his friend for 3 wins to get him in the top 48. I'm sure he knew while he was doing it that it was going to be a problem.

I understand why some people would want something to be specifically in the rules in order for it to warrant a DQ, but sometimes you have to just let people use their god given ability to reason.

KATRINA or maybe we should just call that map *Auir* since thats what it is =D

here's you guys a rep from my other "account" beating leggionair pvp 30 min game.. since my off race is now considered a free win~ enjoy ^^
