You're always going to get some random aspect because your not going to have the same people every time. Assuming that you guys are still balancing teams the way you were when I was active in these, I think it's fine. | ||

It was a lot more fun for me at least when there were a lot of platinum+ people there, they seemed like more fun games than 1-2 platinum and the rest silver/bronze/gold. I like these for learning experiences, and I definitely learned more when there were higher level people playing. | ||

This could be very interesting, although logistically difficult to pull off, as people mentioned. I, for one, know my skill level improved immensely S2 when I started playing with TL B. Having a coordinated team, and the same people to play with really amps up your game. You get to learn personalities, when you can rely on your teammate to do things. It offers a really good internal environment to breed skill, on top of the larger community of the NA IH group to build on. If it could be pulled off, I really think we'd see a marked skill improvement in general. | ||

Nonetheless, I think it'd be worth a try to see whether or not it works. Can't come to conclusions without actually trying. | ||

Could do some sort of "Newbie" teams, with a higher level coach. Have these teams compete, critique gameplay, etc? Also, would there be subs for teams? If so, how many? Obviously, this would only work if there was actually enough interest. Also, I'm sure higher level guys would still want to play as well. Idk how the organization could go, but I'll start brainstorming. | ||

you dont even need higher level critique commentary or w\e just have the teams be all on ts or something and actually talk about the game obv you'd need to find teams of similar skill level | ||

But how do the teams get set up? It can't be like 5 people pick to play with each other, that's when things get stacked. There should be some sort of organizer creating and monitoring things I would think (assuming people want to actually get something out of these team games). Things would have to be set up in a way so that teams are of similar skill level from the beginning. Then, improvement could actually be monitored. | ||

Stacking will work as long as someone will help coach the lower teams (and obviously not play heavily mismatched, like a high silver/low gold vs high plat/diamond etc.) If people want to "stack" teams it will require more work overall since the lower teams should have some sort of coaching. | ||
