i think its cool he gets banned an extra 5 days because it took whatever RGL admin 5 days to get around to watching the demo

if u guys like being banned whyd u make this shit thread

when at least half of your team is banned in at least one league

the funniest thing u can do imo is take 30% heals running liberty launcher + conch sitting in choke spamming 30 damage rockets to build conch while taking all the ammo packs. and then when you get conch you pop it on yourself and die instantly

(saying something for the first time) Once again,

I was curious about this, and whether my memory of past rosters actually matches up with reality. So I made a spreadsheet to act as sort of a visual and statistical representation of the seasonal roster history of "The Banny Team", going back to eMg from season 6.

[Link to google sheet]

I'm mostly going off of Liquipedia records here since I can't be bothered to scour thru the dogshit ESEA match records to validate every roster, so let me know if I got something wrong. I didn't include CEVO cos it ran completely parallel to ESEA. There's a second tab at the bottom showing the roster history in a more text-based format.

In short, the FROYO Veterans roster would be (by class) arekk / clockwork / blaze / b4nny / habib / shade

The closest class-appropriate FROYO Veterans BLACK roster would be cyzer / Freestate / yomps / lansky / duwatna / Nursey

And the closest class-appropriate FROYO Veterans BLACK After Dark roster would be shrugger / Yz50 / mackey / enoryt / Muma / skeez

its not worth it dogg just let him have the meme

cos everyone in this community knows eachother and it is a relatively very small community in general
also cos there's less money involved

u guys love to say u want to "improve" something without ever clarifying what u think the problem with that thing is

i think going 29-62 while beating banny is the best possible thing for any roamer to do. a real career moment.

@zeekaptain ( ° ͜ʖ͡°)╭∩╮

the clear solution here would be to have all 11 teams play the qualifier

RGL theoretically

Yes you're right its much smarter to not allow any playtesting at all.

The point of this is largely that it puts it into the players' hands to start practicing. it's saying "hey, we're giving you a few months heads up here that next season you will be playing officials on this map!" If people still choose to not scrim it that's on them.

Again going to CSGO, Valve, who are still relatively non-transparent, give a few months of time after a map pool change is announced to actually add it. Teams are free to ignore it or permaban it, but that's crippling their map pool. And even then, maps are given YEARS to settle into the map pool before new changes are made. RGL are somehow doing both parts wrong by adding new maps abruptly and then also removing them immediately when they don't get played as much as process and snakewater.

What if the S6 preseason map testing cup determined the map (not maps) to potentially be added in S7, instead of S6? The map could be run in pugs and scrims during S6 so that people were used to it and ready for it when it came out.

You could even run a fan-voted Invite Allstars showmatch on it before invite grand finals, like how CSGO does showmatches on potentially new maps at big events or majors (Cache remake showmatch) (Tuscan remake showmatch)

This could help prevent the natural dislike people have for new maps due to unfamiliarity, and provide more transparency to your playerbase, allowing you to enact your agenda of rotating maps in the pool seasonally, all in a way that's fun and community-sourced.
