im prepared for downfrags but regardless of my current affiliation with RGL, i think its good to have the entire competitive community centralized in one league, we finished this season of RGL with more teams than last season of ESEA started with. by no means do i think this'll make TF2 A HUGE ESPORT POGCHAMP GUYS THIS IS EPIC, in terms of keeping the game afloat it is great to see
i would be blind if i said a lot of rules and situations were not accounted for but that doesnt mean they cant be quick fixes before starting the next season of RGL (TAKE THE SURVEY AND FILL OUT THE LAST 2 RESPONSES IF YOU HAVENT ALREADY), and while im certainly not opposed to playing NACL or RGL (or even both), I do think that it is a very bold overreaction to immediately ditch RGL after the launch season because of some oversights. yeah its pretty stupid that a 15-1 team can be ranked higher than a 16-0 team, and our bans could be a lot more standardized between cases, but at the end of the day, the 6v6 TF2 i played this season in RGL was IDENTICAL to the 6v6 TF2 i played in my 9 seasons of ESEA - and if the "b4nny doesnt support iseries" thread is anything to go off of, the game playing the way we want it to should be the most important factor right? lets not forget about the fact that RGL has a sustainable prize pool plan and the possibility of hosting a lan for invite playoffs was an idea from the very beginning (see http://sixes.rgl.gg/Public/Articles/Default.aspx?a=1236)
TLDR; RGL 6s had a bit of a shaky launch, but it was just that, a launch, and mistakes can be corrected. i think it is too early to abandon RGL at this point, considering the current prizepool and possibility of LANs for playoffs (not saying that these things are impossible for NACL to achieve), but in the future if things fail to change i believe it is within our rights as a community to choose the direction we want to take the game.
