Was sort of hoping Idra wouldn't be on this time. Seems the other guys can be quite a bit more frank about him than if he's, you know, actually there.

SHOW is NOT being canceled

Incontrol had something come up so he cant be on. Idra will join the Show so it is slightly delayed.

not MLG Style.
I give up, I just don't know what to write here.

Yeah this is just wrong and you don't even know what you're talking about. It's not like you lose once in a tournament and you're out. You're playing a big group of people over the course of two months. If you're not up to snuff, you'll be sent packing.



No the point is that some people can not win a single matchup and still make the top 24 in the tournament which still scores them points in the overall standings. Does that seem right to score points without winning at all? You should get zero points for that.

Also you could with zero wins in the group stage for all the tournaments, but win one or two matches in the winners brackets and still maintain your top rankings for the whole season. Makes it incredibly hard for some of these guys who like 50-3 over the course of three tournaments to break into the top spots.

Huk had a very good point.

yeah but its invite only for the first season (initially the rules were that you had to be on a team as well) with only 16 possible new spots for the next season, which I think is the point he's getting at. I don't think thats necessarily a bad thing, but I do think that there should be more open tournaments as well.
also i think you should be able to combine like 5 archons to make a really really shitty oliver stone film - Keanu_Reaver, bw balance genius

Cool, I thought it would be cancelled, the stream is a little confusing, glad I checked here to make sure.
