Look rufus, I didn't mean to discount your victory with a subpar mass.
But there wasn't much to say. Your team got up early, and our team could never just find good timing. The decision to switch laura was controversial and I wasn't that happy with it at the time. But like I said it the mass, blue team, us, kept frantically trying to stay in the game, for the most part.
But yes, thor's lag doesn't serve him well in future. Ibo's still good. Trip's a good player. Laura is good. I'm not able to comment about myself. But yeah, we lost bad. I thought it was 6-2, not 6-3 but w/e. Yeah ibo was standing around for a while. But I can't blame him. We hadn't score in about 15 minutes, and all our efforts seemed to be in vein at that point. Maybe he got an important pm or something.
Also, there's about 6 people who actualy read the masses in depth. Everyone else either ignores it or skims over it.
Rufus, what did you want me to put? "Team oni pulls off the biggest upset so far of the tournament, knocking off team trip 6-2 blah blah blah"
That pretty much goes as implied.
But I had other things to turn my attention to after the game. Trip was quiting, and suddenly I had control over his CTF League.
Grats on your win, and next time we'll attempt to give credit where credit is due.

will the games of week 3 and 4 be switching places next week? If so it'd be team Zero's game choice.

Just to add on to Rufus' point... Our team (Clel's team) absolutely slaughtered Mystic's team 6-0 in under 10 minutes. Yet the only mention we got from Gladius' mass was that it finished quickly.......................
Seriously Glad, you need to change the way you host, and for gods sake
stop
massing
like
this

Trials can't play in events anymore. And although you claim there is a command to add trials, no one has told me this command.
Plus your accounts, or at least 2 of them, are currently banned. Thus you really shouldn't be playing at all, even on a trial.

Well yeah, remember all that talk about Trip quitting, well apparently by popular demand he cut off his vacation plans. Big news? Well for the league it is, this means that Trip could still be in control. But since we have no proof of that it's time to take a direct look on the changes Gladius is making on the tournament.
BYE BYE TO UNEVEN TEAMS!!! Great news right? That means even if only three of my players show up we can still be comfortable, even if two of my players show up no worries we'll kick ass in LOL. This even team business ensures that we'll all get a fair shot, regardless of who shows and who doesn't, and it's a welcome change actually.
CORE OF THE TEAM. I don't know about this one, while the initial idea is good it's hard to be sure. One half of my team will be there on Saturdays, the other will be there on Sundays, so it's hard to say they'll be at 90% of the matches. Actually though Deophite has been to every game, I missed one, I don't know about the rest though. I don't see a real point in stating who'll be at 90% of the games but he's trying to make sure atleast 3 people will be at each game. I'm strongly against finding some random player off the streets and having them fill in if you're under players. I'd rather play with 3 players against 4 than to have someone else come on our team to even things up, but that's me. I guess some teams should atleast have the choice. I'd much rather it be we only have three people so the other team has to drop to three aswell to even things up. But then I could break the system by only having two of my people show up, forcing everyone to play my team in LOL, and I'm probably the only person who's good in that mode. Well this leads back to the original setup, teams could say SCREW YOU CLEL and use all their players for a 4v2 to avoid LOL mode and to avoid being outnumbered I'd have to settle with grabbing random people from the street, so I guess it's for the best...
The allstar moving to the 6th week is both good and bad. It's good cause we get some ACTION this saturday and sunday, meaningful ACTION. The bad is that I was planning on taking a break from the tournament during Allstar weekend. It's not that much.
The final thing 5v5s and 6v6s. Despite me probably doing better in a 5v5 or 6v6 (on Future/Large) I'd have to say my team's sticking strictly to 4 on 4 for the easy managment, they can risk going with 5v5 or whatever if I'm not there. Nothing much to this rule either.
Now I'd like to request a couple of things. The ability to have people join your team even after the deadline. This will allow teams to constantly change, my team may have no competition right now, but maybe a team can gain the edge through getting new players in the middle of the tournament. Also it's already known that players can leave your team (laura left Trip's), so if someone leaves you can replace them with another player. While pulling someone off the streets you can most likely just add them to your team which would be great and dandy. Simply put, the possible chance of this tournament failing would be hindered if captains could still add players if they wanted or needed to. Also I'd probably get some underdog players, get into a 5v5, and then teach them how to play in the middle of a match.
Other thing, is include more gametypes, right now there's only Sumo, Large, Future and Small. For a tournament I'd atleast expect Indoors to be included since it's by far the most far map. Mighty's Indoors2 looks like it'd also would be a great map to include in. The cool part? Then the next time I face Trip's team it won't be on Large again, the more variety the better.

Clel you type up too many novels.
Core of Team: I simply want to make sure each team will have people on, so we don't have to repeat the whole "hey only zero showed up for mystic's team" thing.
allstar: Thought week 3 was too early for voting.
5v5: If both teams had 5 members show up, i see no reason why someone has to be leftout.
People adding: Trip made the deadline. If a team needs to add somebody, then they will probably be allowed to do so. If a team with 5 ppl sees a good person come back from a long exile, but there is another team in need of people, it will be suggested that the exiled person join the team in need. Don't just keep adding good people to your team.
More gametypes: Ive never seen indoor2. People yelled at me when I tried to host it. I'll look into adding indoor/indoor2 once or twice.

It was nice to see Trip back in full effect. Kill, Shimmy, and I hosted the monthly and an hour after it ended Trip was there to make the next week of CTF happen. Our match against Kid Oni's team was great. The usual pair showed up (myself, Deophite, Rob, Zedo) and we went straight into ownin, well despite the few freezes throughout the game breaking up the action. Kid Oni's team was all confused and junk so we got three goals, but then Oni left because his teammates were saying stuff like "Well since Kid Oni is ganna be an idiot we're not ganna try", so he left and faithful teammate Rufus jumped in the fray. Our teams clashed together or whatever creating these huge server lag spikes that effected everyone, well at first Rufus was flying through them all nice and gravy scoring two points, but then Zedo got a score, followed by me getting one in, and then Zedo scored the final. It was nice, felt great... until Zedo pmed me telling me he was fludging his connection to score goals. He was always telling me about some plan or whatever he had, asking me to host CTF so he can test it out, and if his plan was to lag himself I'm disappointed that he didnt talk to me about that first. I wasn't supposed to mention this or whatever but since Trip and Deophite were also given the same pm it's safe to say it's out in the public. In the GC Waiting Room after the win Zedo demonstrated that he couldn't control this lag, and that it was just there - saying the internet company is having problems and won't be able to fix it for 3-4 weeks. I really cant say if he's intentionally doing these lag bursts or what, but Trip said if a GC gets the feeling he's self lagging he's banned from the tournament.
The second game was iffy, from the get go team Trip was planning to use Trip, Ibo, Gladius and Thor but Mystic's broken team only had 2 players Shimmy and Lakuta. They each chose a player resulting in Mighty and Deophite joining the fray for a 4 on 4. But while a 4 on 4 sounded good it wouldnt last long. Throughout trying to get things setted up many questions spurred. Trip said the game type to be played was selected by the team with the least wins, I thought this meant Mystic picked the map this game since he has more losses than Trip while Oni picked the map for our game. What he actually meant was the team with the most losses out of all four teams picked the map both teams would play on, but this didn't make since to me cause Mystic's team has the most losses even in that senario, but Kid Oni got to pick the map (sumo) and then they were going to have to play it again. Amongst all that Gladius and Trip got into some side-arguement and it ended in Trip leaving, yes by his own will. Once we figured all this out Ibo bailed aswell to his super secret untouchable level. Leaving Gladius and Thor there all alone whom Mighty would team up with to make the 3 on 3. Shimmy, Deo, and Lakuta were getting creamed, I replaced Shimmy cause he was having issues as Xiahou, we got two scores in before getting CREAMED again. It was a good week but it leaves room for questions, like did Trip get so pissed off that he just left, and will he return tommorow to get the next matches in?
Well they're getting shorter =), next time I'll remember to cut out 99.9% of the useless facts.

I do believe I can add it to my ctf website.
But anyways.
Still not sure why trip and ibo left. Neither answered my pm.
3v3 ctf sumo was lame, especialy when we had thor.
Once or twice I saw things that should just not happen.
Still, I scored the first goal.
