My point is that rgl's methods seem to work and actually lead to growth in their formats, yes it's different from ESEA but when it comes to ESEA different is probably better

Jarring for ESEA only players

But this is how RGL has handled all their leagues for the past ~3 years and those formats seem to be doing fine so I'm inclined to trust it

m&ms + almonds + cashews + dried mango + banana chips + dried pineapple

equal proportions all

Honestly not really set on the inclusion of clearcut / kalinka. Both maps are pretty unknown / unplayed. Don't know why we couldn't just use proven maps like logjam or reckoner in the place of badlands/granary. (I think logjam is really slept on in NA and it has always seemed like a pretty decent map to me)

Although I do think testing and adding new KOTH maps is good

also @ phantom honestly i really disagree with the offclassing thing. literally every time I've played in the same division as one of those invite player offclass teams by the time I've played them in a match they're on their mains and scrimming normal days lol.

like just this season fyggs team went from having 3+ people offclassing to only cukei offclassing. (not to call them out just an example)

or like last season in open the kronge realm guys offclassed until playoffs and then when playoffs started it was just a high IM team playing open players.

It feels like most us (us as in IM / Invite players) have fallen into the mindset that sandbagging doesn't really matter that much because we had to deal with it when we started, but honestly I think if RGL actually has fair lower divisions we could see a lot of growth, personally, I know several people who were turned off of their first season of open because they were just getting dicked by people who'd been playing forever and didn't have a chance at all.

I think RGL.gg should just be the site for whole league, all the different sub domains are weird and annoying

What r u question marking thats literally the esea rules sami

Starting before 10 is rat for west coasters like myself ^^^

Default 6s times should be 1030 its what the whole esea community has been doing for 10 years

How is it a stranglehold

They just want to cast their own league.

Also as someone who has played several seasons of RGL leagues I've never had any problems with their rules or moderation.

It was a 2-3 60 minute game where the team that was down was pushing last as the time ran out

Seemed pretty close to me
