yes it's within the ladder rules but i just think it's so...dumb. this is one thing i do not like about ladder qualification systems. if one person starts doing it, i don't see why everybody else wouldn't. the laddeing process would become stupid. | ||

Well you do know that most of the foreigners(non chinese white-ra/ret/idra/ not included) are capable of low A- /B+ at best, but playing each other and cheesing constantly has given so many people A- with good stats/points its not funny. or playing your team mates in some cases | ||

The thing is he's not hurting anyone except himself, in the end when he has to face A/A- players in the qualification rounds we all know how that's gonna end, so i don't see what the problem is. Nobody was complaining when mondragon played only foreigners last TSL, people do what they believe they have to do in order to qualify and there is nothing wrong with that. | ||

Deanotic 2-0ed Lzgamer. It's not that I'm doing something others aren't or that I'm starting something. It's that my PvZ was strong enough to get the 2:1 win ratio required to make points doing it. If you think I had an easy road feel free to try and walk it. Tell me how that goes. | ||

Well that's true, but he could use the same tactics as Kwark, obviously playing straight up and not picking your players would be the most fair way to decide the top 48 but since there's nothing against it in the rules i don't see why everyone is giving him so much shit. | ||

If you think I had an easy road feel free to try and walk it. Tell me how that goes. Just because you're playing "real" games with your teammates doesn't change the fact that it looks like abuse. And even if you think you're actually playing games, there is a psychological factor involved, it goes like this "hey I'm playing KwarK, I know he's better than me and he's playing TSL and I'm not... if he continually beats me he might qualify" , such a thought process might lead him to play worse than he normally would and increase his likelihood of losing to you... making your games practically like getting free wins. | ||

Anyone who thinks it's especially easy can try to do it. Of course, I expect everyone in the top 100 right now could get A- the way I did but when I look down that list there are almost no names I don't recognise, no names that would seem out of place in a competition between decent foreigners. At present, the only difference between me and the vast majority of players below me is that I have played a lot more games. | ||

Anyone in Ladder A-B in the past week will have had direct experience with this, the players with worse records getting spammed and the players with better records struggling to get a game. People with weak matchups are avoiding playing them against top level players and people are refusing to play maps they dislike. If you're not going to have an invitational then this is the system.

At present, the only difference between me and the vast majority of players below me is that I have played a lot more games. either way, with this kind of play, you might barely squeeze into Q3 round, where you will be eliminated. that's the way I see it, your game picking will leave a better player a spot lower. I wish you luck in your legal ladder abuse. at least you are not denying it. | ||

I cheer for him a little bit like I cheered for the swimmer from that african country in the olympics. We both have 120 apm, I feel like I can relate to him. Realistically no one except a very select group of players has a legitimate shot of placing in the money, making this primarily a tournament for fun. All of these players can get significantly higher than KwarK currently is on the ladder. If it's proved that by cheesing/downranking someone can get significantly higher on the ladder than where KwarK already is, then I will be more concerned about the quality of the games being played in TSL. As it stands, I'm not worried at all. ICCup Rules are as follows: Playing against the same person too many times: You are not allowed to play more than: 6 games between D- and D+ 9 Games between C- and C+ 12 Games between B- and B+ A- and Olympic — No more than 1000 points gained from 1 player. That could be as little as 8 games in a row, or it could potentially be 30-40 so long as 1 player doesn't gain more than 1000 points in total. From A- and higher rank, it is hard to find players also it is hard to gain points if game was win and loss together. ex) A- vs A- winner gets 130 pts, but loser will get -140 pts. one win and loss each player it's total -10 points for the player. This rule give more oppotunity for higher rank players. Per day vs. same person(or Team). However some may think that they could play 6 games today 6 tomorrow (D ranks) and so on but nothing more wrong. Those cases will be handled separately and most of the times probably penalized since you can abuse your way into higher ranks with this method. Also cases of games played vs. same friends across bigger periods of time will be evaluated individually. So if you feel like training with friends and gaining some rank with it you should just switch to melee. Also its forbidden to play vs. people that have the same IP as you(LAN houses etc.), here number of consecutive games vs that person won't even mather. The punishment for breaking this rulle is points penalty, clearstats or ban depending on how many games were played. I bolded the relevant portion. Even though you are technically allowed to 12-0 someone every 24 hours (the period of 6/9/12 allowable games is 24 hours), you can't just do this infinitely. Going 200-0 vs the same guy over a few months is still abuse (read the bolded portion). Thus, ICCup (and TSL) is allowed to review accounts on a case-by-case basis to determine whether they have abused. If Player 1 plays Player 2 48 times over 10 days @ B rank, going 48-0, this is technically "allowed" under the 12 games per day, but we can still DQ for abuse. The bolded part up there allows for a more flexible evaluation standard. | ||

Don't call it dumb. TL staff made a good decision. New players can qualify and make a name for themselves thanks to a ladder. Not to mention it's disrespectful to TL staff. | ||
