infinite-if you truly believe that the two leagues coming together is a good idea, why did you block the efforts to make it so the top 8 ugc 6s teams would get free premium/league fees for the following season of esea
Using the same rule set and map pool is certainly a strong step forward towards cooperation made by UGC. I don't see you giving any credit for that, only focusing on negatives as usual.
None of the ESEA admins ever spoke to Forn or I about this plan specifically. Someone talked to our 6s admin but I never heard any concrete plans from ESEA admins.
Secondly, how does that benefit UGC? Seems to me it only funnels teams away from UGC to ESEA. I am fine cooperating, but cooperation is a two way street. If any of the ESEA admins would like to discuss this idea in more detail they are free to add me or forn.
1. you can't possibly, after being an admin for so long, get angry when people "only focus on the negatives".
2. most of the positive contributions made by ugc 6s were done by marxist, because he was the one who spearheaded the drive to make ugc 6s the "training camp", so to speak, for the higher echelons of the esea divisions. and you know what? this effort has been hugely successful- rather than being a mess of various skill levels in a joke league, many teams that want to improve but don't feel good enough for esea and don't want to pay the money have a place.
3. I don't see how you can trumpet all the positive steps taken by your ugc 6s admin and then not give him enough autonomy for a modest plan that does not hurt your league. it just proves that you're an egomaniac.
4. you are thinking really short term and narrowly if you believe that this plan doesn't eventually benefit ugc. if too many good teams get stuck in ugc because they just don't feel like they can commit to paying for esea, or they don't have a sponsor like even better teams do, this provides them a way to keep the divisions balanced and for turnover to begin, so the ugc 6s league retains its reputation as a good league for beginning to low/mid teams. and no, it's not a viable option to try to make a ugc 6s league be a true rival to esea, including a skilled top division. no league since esea has ever successfully competed in terms of invite and im teams flocking to them, and none in na will while it exists. the prestige and professionalism of esea is too great.
5. even if the plan didn't help ugc, it could only be seen as hurting it if one is openly hostile towards esea, which you are to a fault. 8 teams in the grand scheme of things is tiny.
tl;dr you dumb girl
