I would like to make a comment, and I do want to say elevengaming and I appreciate the opportunity to have a chance to play in your league. I just don't like how these qualifiers are being divided.

Basically you're going to have 4 or 5, maybe even more teams that get dropped from the SGL One qualifiers. Then might be much better than 90% of the SGL Two teams. So now they just aren't in any division.

I think you should set it up so that its one big qualifier. And have it so the top 6 teams or whatever in the qualifier are in SGL ONE, then the next 8 in that rankings are automatically SGL TWO. This way you have the top 16 teams but just in 2 divisions.

That's just how I envision it. I just feel that teams on the bubble such as my team could really miss out here.

We have already considered this option. this would result in a very very long qualifier which we don't want. We want the teams in SGL-One to have a double elimination bracket since teh teams are predicted to be among the same skill level, which is how it is turning out to be. We understand that we may have to shut out a few teams, and the fact that you can only apply for one league might be disappointing. Any team can be considered for SGL-One they just need the achievements to back themselves up and be accepted. SGL-Two is for teams who want the experience of playing in the SGL, or in a team league at all.

As for elevengaming's concern, all I can say as of this moment is that we have a solution to this problem. However to prevent exploitation of the system I don't want to release it to the public

KoDo, thanks for the quick response.

The issue in question on xi's hand here is that of all the applied teams in SGL TWO at the moment we already play 90% of those teams in NGP league + ESGL. Also, no disrespect to those teams some are very talented but they just aren't good competition (consistently) for our A team players.

So in that sense a 3rd league of playing the same "tier" of skilled clans doesn't really benefit us. It does for half our players, but we need a clan league to challenge our top tier players. I'm not saying we wouldn't want to do it play in SGL TWO at all. If thats our only option we might not be pleased but we will still like to compete. However we have shown in multiple clan wars that we can take games and even win wars versus some of the top teams in the CURRENT SGL ONE, and the SGL ONE APPLIED teams.

I don't think you should worry if the qualifiers are long. What is the downside to that? You end up with arguably the best 16 teams.

Either way thanks for listening to my comment and responding.

EDIT:

Once again please don't think i'm trying to BM you guys or just trying to piss you off because I can assure you I'm not.

Here's my plea:

1. Empire Gaming(Empire)
2. Team eSuba(eSuba)

Current teams that have applied for SGL-One:
3. vT Gaming(vT)
4. Meet Your Makers(MYM)
5. Against All Authority(aAa)
6. Regret eSports(REGret)
7. Reqiuem eSports(REQ)
8. Vision, Valor, Victory(vVv)
9. Vile Gaming(Vile)
10. Praetoriani(Prae)

Add elevengaming to that. +ONE, ROOT, Fnatic, EG. + 1 more team and that is 16 teams.

I hate to say it but you guys are practically going to have SGL ONE and SGL THREE. Because these 8 middle teams are getting, well, vanished? And once again no disrespect to the current SGL TWO applied teams but these remaining 8 are probably the next best 8, give or take a few.

I can assure you this isn't us wanting money, its honestly for our A-team players to get better competition.

If you get a total of 32 teams that apply, a 2-3 week qualifer is all you need. Remember you don't need to play this qualifer to the last 2 teams, only until theres 14 spots filled. So it might only take 2 weeks.

Okay I promise I will shut up now my point has been made. Thx again KoDo.
