They could easily have 2 teammates in each division and just get them to play their matches first. That works just fine.
And then they're changing their schedule around to accommodate for the team affiliation, so basically their match scheduling will be dictated by a couple of teams that have more than five members... Not to mention, in the case where Team Member A is much stronger than Team Member B, and has a better chance of winning the division, TMA can throw that first match to TMB so TMB has a better chance of being in the top two for the division... Not fool-proof collusion, but possible

Until a team with 11 good members comes along... Then 15 will be just fine, even though team kills are even more inevitable! Until someone has 16 players, then 20 players per team is necessary, even though that's half the god damn league, etc., etc. ad infinitum...
I imagine Tyler honestly doesn't like the fact TLO plays random, especially against a protoss given the state of PvP and to a lesser extent ZvP. While it's commendable to be able to play all races at such a high level, in doing so you do yourself more harm than good. To me it also gives an impression that he doesn't take the game all that seriously unless he really thinks it gives him an edge. I know this is unlikely to be the case, but I dislike it regardless as it just isn't smart.

What is wrong with changing the schedule to accommodate the teams?
It's a terrible rule, if a team has 6 players that deserve to be in the league then they should be in the league. If they're wanting this to be the best league it can be, then they should be wanting the best players regardless of their team status.

I'm quoting myself because I really would like to know ^^
I'm just confused in which order I should actually listen these :D I have two preshow files that are 22min in total, one .mp3 that is 2h long and one .flv transformed into 3h .mp3
Anyone wanna help a brother out and chuck this up on filefront? none of the links in the OP or iTunes are currently downloading at more than 1bite per second
hi guys, JP would appreciate if you can put a link where we can DOWNLOAD the MP3 as here in the middle east our internet connection does not allow us to stream video sometimes even audio.
so it would be prefferable for us if we can download the MP3 so we can listen to it later.

Geoff sounds like he's been practicing his TotalBiscuit impression, it's actually pretty good now. He used to sound Australian before (especially since he would say "G'day mate" which English people do not say.)
Hey guys I really hope im not sounding like im a complainer or anything. But I was wondering what is going on with the dl speed? I only have a window in the moring before work of about 40 min or less. The dl usually takes an hour or more. Thank you for the awesome show every week and wed is my fav day because of this ^^!
Completely agree with Tyler about the team thing, I don't think it will be an issue for the first seasons but it might become an issue later.
As for example EG, Mouz and Dignitas and probably more teams as well are exactly on 5 competent players that could easily compete with the top. If one of their "lesser" players gets a lot better then it might force one of the players to leave if they want to compete in this league which is not what you made this rule for.

Pause - Resume, Try it
Pause - Resume in my Google Chrome doesn't seem to work. So I tried it again in Firefox and it worked fine. If anyone else is having problems try switching browsers? helped me at least!
