reread "Yumyum was a giant part of how that team even operated," ask urself "how," and any response from me is redundant. air is an emotionally unstable pedophile that a plethora of people (myself included) will never play on a team with under any circumstance, and even with my very negative thoughts of him, theres never been a second where i ever thought that fygg was even close to being as good as air. the fact of the matter is air was the centerpiece of those fygg teams, and when i learned this season that he mightve swapped to soldier with fygg on demo, i considered that a blessing, and it was even better when i heard he left. unsurprisingly, the fygg team would go from beating/contesting high adv teams, to going down to the very bottom into the inevitable path of dying, which they did. heres a log of fygg doing a lot worse than a low advanced demo.

im not saying ur policy is set in stone, im saying its dumb and laughably inconsistent. if u want another funny example, zaboomafoo (undoubtedly top 3 adv demo right now) was not class restricted in main this season, but i was on soldier after having just played on the same team together. and if u want an example of how not class restricting wound up doing good? had u class restricted me from iM scout out of fear cuz i played adv, the team i played on wouldve 100% died and outside of maybe 1, none of those players would ever consider getting back into comp cuz of how unfun itd be (and probably was when i wasnt in yet, putting them in iM was unreasonable) u wanna know how u couldve done something similar but for this season? letting dingo play soldier or demo. im the one whos actually playing against this shit bro, IM the one who actually loses out of it, and im telling u, it wouldnt have been a big deal at all, since at the end of the day better team wins. and if dingo demo is what it would take to save the slicerogue team from dying this season, so be it.

outside of marxist's outdated guides theres always been a lack of resources for the game but the gap being this wide is new, same goes for ppl not making long-term teams, and actually class restrictions make it so teams die earlier since ur either forced at gunpoint to go 0-16 in invite or kill ur team. most ppl wanna actually have fun while they play. i dont like using anecdotes but when i played my 1st season of open, i learned a lot from getting shat on by sandbaggers and it set a minimum bar that if u didnt reach u wouldnt play well. that bar not existing is why most main players have no way of making it to advanced unless they do what the crazy team did this season which is make a team with a bunch of other main players and get steamrolled. i rly respect the grind tho.

for the 2nd paragraph uve kinda forced me into a bad corner, i either have to concede and say i didnt mean what i actually do, or say negative things about yumyum which isnt the intention. the way i look at yumyum and cat posse is shining star and kurama did A LOT of work for the team and rly put them up there, yumyum just happened to be there. i think any low invite/high adv scout could have filled his shoes and i think scarfs and legit wouldve done better, even if on paper those 2 are supposed to be worse. if u think attributing the success of entire teams towards individuals is good practice, ive found at least one of ur guys' major flaws in deciding restrictions. but this still doesnt make any sense, by ur logic safrix should never be allowed to play advanced without class restrictions, and yet it was fygg that was the one that got restricted off demo... on the same team that has air in it... who's demo is significantly better than fygg's. theres plenty of other really dumb restrictions but i think ive made my point on how silly u guys are with them, i still stand by that yumyum deserves to have the option to play advanced if its what he wants.

id change the wording from "way more important" to "only important" for lower divs (nc & am). im of the opinion that class restrictions overall only ruin competition in higher divs rather than improve it, and that theyre the reason why the gap from invite to advanced and advanced to main is so big right now. for context, you could get top 3 in main, even win main, and people still wont want to even try u out because of that gap unless ur the last option out there, and more often than not it wont come to that. this season of main is actually decent but i still think the best season was 1 where there werent any class restrictions at all, they didnt exist at the time.

if anything, its very silly that low invite players are banned from their classes while theres a number of other players in advanced that are better than them. yumyums class restricted off scout, but scarfs and legit arent, and an easy way to be more consistent is to be more lenient.

manitous easy if ur good at ctapping and cheese. i found yona and hangar to be the easiest but i wall pogod a decent amount of hangar i think. minecraftia isnt bad its just really long, get a feel for c4&5 before map completion. crypt is easy outside of 1 jump that i had to random bhop twice lol, i think svid wanted me to edgebug into a bounce? its dumb, but enough tries and ull eventually get past it.

if they keep playing together with same roster its just a matter of time when they make invite. if u have the brain to understand that slow & steady wins the race, thats the only thing u need to want to be a part of this.

yes.

actually handled pretty well on rgl's end, couldve very easily turned out to be a bad situation but all things considered this was good. i think as it stands now its just hubida thats very negative of reno, but id like to point out anyways that reno's already doing a lot better than the brainless manchild makkabeus was, and her being the admin has saved us all from someone as absurdly stupid as ire from being head admin, since he was the only other applicant. so good on reno for handling this properly, and good on rgl for making the right decision between who ought to be the admin between those two.

there were better options in advanced, there were better options in ur own roster. my standards are a lot higher than that to be considered invite.

u make it sound like hubidas invite. not even close lol.

i watched it all and i pretty much agreed with everything, recommend to anyone who hasnt seen it. i especially liked the "if ur a good admin people wont even notice ur there" statement. class restrictions have proven to me to be very harmful at least from my personal experience with main. if i remember right, there were 0 players class restricted in s1 main and thats undoubtedly the best competition that divs seen that wouldve been ruined if those players had been restricted, which they definitely wouldve been since there were iM playoffs and old invite players mainclassing. in that season u had to be a complete noob if u didnt know how to double sac, nowadays in main ppl dont even know how to property single sac or do things i learned in my first season of open. if the gap keeps getting bigger between main and adv, all whats gonna happen is no one is going to want to play with moveups under any circumstance. thats kind of already the case actually.

i know absolutely nothing of this player but if the rumors are true and he did in fact have an 8 hour+ run of jump apex this guys epic.

u never played esea so u wouldnt know what the real issues were. class restricting adv players in main is why that divs full of babies and has kept degenerating since s1 outside of this szn. i liked ugc's sandbagging rules, each team is limited to 2 players 1 div higher, but for rgl change it to 1 so each team gets their own sandbagger. either way, class restrictions are dumb outside of amateur since thats where the actual kiddy pools at, and last thing we should want is a guy like jaguarfiend in there.

ur crying about nothing.

STFU
