We have a choice with week two of the sandlot. If we choose a replacement, we could have sea.lionking. However, I am realistic. We trail FF 1-4 to 4-1. That means that even if FiFo goes 5/10 for the rest of the tourny, we have to win 9/10 to advance to the finals. This is not even considering the other teams.

The player with the most wins on each team gets 1k. I want to see this money go to a TL member, or Fantasy (who has been so very very manner). If we played only those people, we could ensure one of them will get the cash.

If you have any other suggestions for our week two strategy, post them here. I will entertain all options and opinions.

What if that's true? Is he definitely gone no-matter-what? Is this even our decision, or is it entirely up to Blizzard?

Suddenly this Kosiro situation makes me very sad.

[Edit]I found your post (didn't think to read through the 10 pages first)...

Blizzard has more or less left it up to the team captain to decide the outcome. But what is for sure is that kosiro is gone. We have a choice of replacing him, or continuing on with 7 players. I will make the decision tonight after I talk to some people, but I already know what I think is the right course of action.

I don't think it's fair that I vote, since I don't know a whole lot about the events that occurred, the situation, or the players involved. I think that if you've got a plan, you should stick to it. You've taken us this far, and I think I speak for everyone at TL.Net when I say that we trust your judgement, and that of all of the other admins taking care of us. You know what to do.

Read through the rest of it, especially the post by draco...It looks pretty unlikely right now.

...I say Yosh. Lionking might be the better player, but I would like it better if the team was close knit and I have no idea how seriously lionking would take it.

neSix, I say thanks for the vote of confidence. I do indeed have an idea, but as I was reminded in the past few days, sometimes it is important to take stock of how everyone else is thinking before coming to a conclusion. That is why this thread is open season for anyone who has suggestions.

Roster cards for week 2 have to be in tonight.

Just go with 7. Maybe it will inspire them to play harder!

I read trough the thread.

It sucks what kosiro did (considering it is true), and its bad for TL because i think it lowers our possibilities a lot...

between those 2 options i would take LionKing.

Taking him or not... hrmm is a hard decission. I would take him.

edit: i mean, if we want to make it, though our possibilities are low, we will need the best line up we can get, and lionking is a good player.

It goes without saying that I trust your judgement on this issue regardless of whether it's in line with my opinion or not because you're more informed and in the thick of it than anyone else, Mani.

But since you want opinions, I think we should just continue with 7.

It's enough players to continue, and they are all hand chosen for TL. I don't have anything against any of the replacement players mentioned, but I don't think it's necessary to replace either.

As long as we always have all 7 at our disposal, there will never be a need for more players, so I think we should just play it out.

Why is keeping Kosiro out of the question? That would be the happy end for me.

I'd like to say before I state my opinion that I have the utmost confidence in you and think you've done a great job thus far (considering the circumstances). Personally I would just remain at seven. The entire time TL.net has taken the high ground, and I think this is yet another chance to do so. Not that I think it would be wrong to take a replacement, but just that this team was chosen this way (more or less, because of freddy's situation...but in the end we got naz which is even better for tl.net really) because it was the best that could be chosen with the position and rules given. Going on with seven cements the fact that you chose correctly (with the information you had) and that you're willing to stay the course the whole way. Just my opinion, you know what you want to do better than I.

That said, in a way I agree with fakesteve. If you don't choose one of them it would probably be a disappointment to them and I don't think anyone could fault you for choosing either. I'd definitely go with the seven already chosen, but I can certainly understand picking up one of the other guys too. Personally, I'd go with yosh since he's more TL than lionking but that's just me.
