JuustinPersonally, I never got to play DIV 1 in S13 -- can't recall if was productive or ineffective division.
I believe div-1 was created Season 13 because there was 3 or 4 advanced teams so the admins just forced the combination of the div. Unfortunately for the main players, The Mafia was born from this season and dominated the season even with some restrictions.
hobophobiccityplannerAnd can we combine divs? Not enough people to even scrim in your div and everyone complained and threatend to quit when RGL wanted to combine last time but I don't see how you can keep the league running with 4-6 teams per div
This pre-season there was 6 invite teams (1 team was dying) and 6 advanced teams. The admins wanted to combine advanced into invite, the advanced players didn't like that and all the adv teams threatened to disband if this were to occur. You can see the drama behind that on b4nny's twitter. Unfortunately the best option here is to combine and make a Div-1 next season, we now have the problem of how many "Advanced" teams are going to play and if the restrictions will be fair.
P.S. if we make it Div-1 again please make it pick/ban i hate weekly maps especially when it matters for a top 4-8 playoffs.
