Pretty sure I'd rather see Passafist vs Qikz rather than Passafist vs Echo in an all-kill series.
But yes, as Lmaster pointed out, the attendance has to be top-notch and there has to be a lot of available players for it to work out. DRATL worked out well since I think there were so many players that played and it had very few amount of walkovers as compared to DRTL Season 4 and 5.

I'm opposed to the winner's league(all-kill) format. It is fun to watch on the highest levels but this being a newbie practice type of league... I don't see the point.
It will be hard to implement smoothly due to the frequent postponements of games and the prolonged duration of all-kill series in comparison to regular series might cause even more postponements even further complicating things.
Second point is that this being somewhat a practice/newbie league we should promote playing over winning. I think it is less important who wins a match but rather to get as many players playing broodwar as possible. An all-kill format can in the extreme case have only half of the participant numbers compared to a classic series format.

Personally, I think games will be better if people know the map/opponent they'll play beforehand. I know that personally I'd prefer to prepare a build for a matchup, study the map, etc. rather than wondering if I'll get to play a good matchup/map or have to play 1 game or save the team and play 3 in a row lol.
even if they aren't better games per se, they might at least have some more interesting results.

Unfortunately, our team (Manner Hatch) looks like it'll have to pull out. We actually all have a class at the same time on Saturday morning. Good luck!
|
T.T is this the end? No more noobs?
|
that was to be expected, when pretty much the whole league was more of a D+/C- league instead of a real D league.
Sad but good things always come to an end.
|
You are all welcome to play in CRTL
|
I'd hardly say it's the end. Though a few more people would be ideal.
Obviously there are still plenty of D tankers...seems what has changed is that they no longer post on tl

Well if worst comes to worst, I'm sure we could always merge a couple teams so we have 4 larger teams.
DRTL so far
Takk (pretty much full strength) sGs.LMaster, captain (Non-Playing) Greenelve Hyeon(PvP) Borg sGs.Exy sGs.Click ColonBruise HappyBunnyTime Headstrong
DESPA art of turtle, captain (Non-Playing) AtomicArchon Jellokitty Qikz
Sun Kahn arb, captain (Non-Playing) Xkcd Pebble / Kopp
Ace - L1ghtning, captain - floladriblere, - filco, - iway,
Stealth Bunnies MinscandBoo Roy Falling Noddy
maybe in May. BigFan
...And MSJ is afk this time, I guess? Mind you, they never did frequent TL much.

Also, note to Wobulator - Manner Hatch can still be incorporated. If the entire team cannot play either we can alter the DRTL time/day, or just have it be known that all games vs MH will be pped
|
I want to start this in about 3 weeks, so I'll say Saturday April 26th for opening day

Or maybe Woublator-Manner hatch can merge with another team- and when those particular players are designated to play, just pp the match-ups. Birdie pp'd every single one of his matches last season and I think there was another New Zealander or some sort that did the same on our team.

Also, the Zbigneff dude is a guy called Sinedd, who got himself banned from Teamliquid for whatever reason. He tried to sign up for the last season or the season before of DRIT and I believe Harem figured out who he was and banned him.

So he is. I saw the mod note wondering about a second chance or not, but didn't bother to click on the other account linked. So in probability he won't be available, unless the mod note is resolved in his favour. Unlikely given he has made 3 alt accounts or more since being perm'd rather than waiting it out.
So that makes 6 free agents.

So that makes 6 free agents. Sinnedd is poison to this league, cheated in that one with C rank players and he's a total douchebag at that.

i will play for ACE, but i'll need to pp almost all my games to monday or tuesday.
