All it does is punish the first winner a little bit. You guys only pick the top 4, who will always have racked up some points early on because they are good and they would all be affected the same once they all have some points. Pretty sure if you did this without the decay all the top people would end up exactly the same. | ||

At this point next year, Leenock's current MLG win will have no impact on his standings, but right now he has a lot of points from a recent tournament. People will always complain, but this seems like a good system. The top 4 people will always have at lest 1 point right? So if they each lose 1 a day, they will still be in the same order. | ||

I was listening to the Bitterdam cast yesterday and at some point they were talking about forming an NASL team. Now, after a thorough investigation literally littered with investigative journalism, I can uncover the truth to the world. Bitter came up with this system because he is about to land MMA for his team. And the whole of season four is but a smokescreen for getting as much hype for the new team captain and figurehead as possible. This is according to my sources yo. | ||

Well I'm sold And I put my money where my post is. good job, guys. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/MzFOL.jpg) Those of you on the fence about this, please give NASL another chance. They seem more legit every season. And $15.99 is a very good deal for this amount of content. | ||

Invites can help ensure that the top level players who are competing for the GSL (actual contenders) will spend the time to go to foreign events. Making them go through a qualifier decreases the odds that they will take the time to go through the process. | ||

No top pro would ever get to 0 and since they all have the same decay it will be like there is no decay at all. So if they always take the top 4, it would never deviate from who the top 4 would be without decay. | ||

DRG has 1050 points. 300 days pass, MMA has 700, DRG has 750. Same difference. The only way they would switch places is if MMA were to win more than DRG. But if he did, he would pass DRG by the same amount in both systems. God this is hard to explain, people can still pass each other, but at any moment in the future when they take the top 4, it will be the same 4 people that would be on top in a no decay system because they would have the same amount of decay as each other. | ||
