laikLOL this game is a rotting corpse. Too many people who have the ability to play this game well have zero competitive integrity. In a division meant to be oriented towards newbies and players finding their wings, you have a team with 2 objectively invite-capable players winning. In the intermediate division which is supposed to mature up-and-coming players, you have 2 grand final teams stacked with players, who in all seriousness, SHOULD be playing invite. Sandbagging is reprehensible and TF2's competitive ecosystem would be better off with sandbaggers either playing in the division that matches their ability, or not playing at all.
One of the issues with a league like ESEA is the admins don't have the flexibility to force team move ups. Or if they do i have never seen them use it. This has always been an issue but it seems to have gotten worse as of late to the point that i had to make a team i was playing on that was unqualified for IM play IM to help save the div at one point. SMH these open sandbaggers.
