Multitasking Rookies, AoV, and Shieldbattery have had walkover matches but have at least 1-2 people show up every week. I'd ask Shieldbattery if they'd take you if you'd rather play there than on Mourning Wood, but I don't know what you mean by "active". But seeing as you're on the Shieldbattery server maybe you could practice with them. Also I'm trying to avoid having two teams not show every week. StarKraft Mac&Cheese has showed up week 1, had partial rosters week 2 & 3, and did not show up at all week 4. I'm not sure if they plan to show for the rest of the tournament. El Estarcraf did not show up for 3 weeks. 10/12 teams showing up is still pretty good for a Brood War league (esp considering ICCup nation league had a semi finalist for prize money not show lol) but that means 4 out of 6 teams play every week and 2 teams get a walkover. I'm trying pretty hard to mitigate that situation and have it, at worst, 5 out of 6. I have already seeded the matches and I do not think I can accommodate for two teams dropping out and rearrange the seeding easily. But I don't want to force people on a team they don't want to play on. If the players on Mourning Wood would rather be picked up by other teams, I can remove that team and they can be open to other teams. But as I said, don't expect to get on a team that actively practices together and has a full roster show up every week, as those teams are not having attendance issues. We need more players, we're happy to take anyone

Sorry for being SaltyToss. It's mad frustrating not having time to practice for the better part of 4 months, getting whooped a week straight on ladder, meanwhile losing to students you're meant to be coaching and then getting rekt by players above your level every week lol. That weekend was particularly heavy in losses, don't think I won a single game. In my defense, lumix is a friend so I was more vocal and i really didnt expect to see our series cast. I think my opponents in the other games so far will testify that I am gm and don't whine during the games I play with them.
Thanks for the cast! I'll try to be more graceful next time I get bodied ^^

I dunno I feel like a lot of the problems with this league really stem from my poor organization and "branding" if I can call it that. Even though everything runs smoothly for the most part, there definitely is some voiced concern every week, if only a little. I actually feel quite bad about it. I called the league "Rookie" and have advertised for newer players to join it, but in all honesty this is not a league for brand new players. I'm not gonna write paragraph over paragraph about this, but I do want to say that on the very first page of this TOPIC I did express the skill level I was aiming for in this tournament. And I am happy with the players in this league. But it is obvious to me I made a huge mistake with the name and the way I presented the league, and I really do apologize if players feel deceived or misguided. If I knew everything I know now back when I tried to organize this league, I would have done a few things differently.
Anyways, this seems to come up every week so I'm sorry to everyone for the way I handled the league and if you feel that I have misrepresented the players who could join. This is going to be the last time I talk about the issue in this thread though because it really disappoints me that the other aspects of the league get a bit overshadowed by something that could have been fixed by very simple measures if I just had the foresight and more careful wording when organizing. On another and more happy note, I hope tomorrow has a good turn out and everyone has fun.

You're doing great Faust. Don't let people whining and predictably dropping out (as is the case for ALL foreign leagues) tell you otherwise.

It really added a lot of personality to your game. I also agree with a lot of your sentiments, but I've been less vocal about my feelings in regards to this than I probably would have been in the past. When I was thinking about players and being in a team, I was looking for D+ to C+ and then maybe one former B- for an "ace" of sorts. I don't regret any of my picks, and I would not even if we lost every game, but boy, I'd sure be mad. Also, a couple of my friends that I asked are 'kind of inactive' at the moment. I've got some super cool friends that have reached B-, like FearTheQueen, DannyMicro, Herbmon, rlentless, munkie, Jemah, and more, that I passed up because I was under the impression that they were not eligible.
Lesson learned though: I will try to stack my team HARD if I do another team league. Right now, though, I'm in too much of a "Let's just have fun and see where things go" mood to really stay mad for longer than 10 minutes about this, though.
But, before I end with that, I think a perfectly valid "counter-argument" (if you want to call it that) is to ask me, "Aren't you winning so far?" and yes, that is true, but it's also because of the very simple fact that we work really well together (I wish you could see our team melee games so far, they've been awesome) and that the other teams basically were in the same boat as me in regards to their understanding of the rules for eligibility. So the players we've faced have been more or less very close to our level, and we've had some close calls, and a bit of luck.
Also, hats off to all the teams we've faced so far. Our team has had our moments where we've facepalmed at our fails, but overall, we're just having good, clean, family-fun and keepin' it G-rated. Sometimes we go PG if we've had a few too many mountain dews.

Does your team know you're coming into this thread to talk shit on them?
Also just so no one has any surprises, here are some roster changes so everyone knows I know, etc.
herbmon is on Whites and Chinks idegelchik (his offraces only) is on Holy Wheelbarrow Alliance SCC-Faggot (his offraces only) is on Dog Manner ArchdukeZeph is on Shieldbattery Bestduck is on Starkraft Mac&Cheese
These players may play starting today. Also I've been contacted by someone on Mourning Wood saying they will probably not show, so unfortunately my attempt at covering up a leaking hole didn't work as planned. I'm not quite sure on the specifics but everyone on Mourning Wood is welcome to play on other teams even as soon as today. Please get in contact with me in the next hour, otherwise I can help you guys find a team for next week. So far we know Shieldbattery is actively looking for members and I'd like to set you some people up on that team ASAP.

Our team features: iopq - our ace, a c level zerg YummyBlaBla - a c- protoss me - an ex c- protoss who can barely scrape D+ now aicy - an sc2 player who started practicing bw 1 week before the league started just to play with us Glaba - a d level protoss.
We rotate players so everyone gets a chance to play and have a good time. Yeah most teams are better than ours, but you know what we have a good time. It's what you make of it.

Holy shit Aicy is good for playing that short. Also I was just tugging iopq's tail. And I'm glad you guys are having fun.

I blame Faust for all cheese.

I'm taking a long awaited nap after people are done playing their matches but when I wake up I will update week 4 on the wiki, standings, and week 6 map pool and match-ups.

Does this mean player cap is completely off? Since Holy Wheelbarrow are at 7 players now then. Also I find it a little annoying that we were denied a 6th player because some teams only had 4 players on them for that logic (aka why aren't these players joining AoV or other teams that need players more desperately)

take me pls any team! Nickname: littlebastard. iCCup rank C RaCE: Terran

Yes, 1, 2. I should have updated the wiki with this information as I obviously don't expect people to go through 23 pages to find this information. Sorry.
Also I have stayed consistent throughout the league with how I give teams players. Players who sign up without a team are distributed to teams who have poor attendance. You asked for evilEye, and I gave evilEye to Shieldbattery. Even with him on that team, they have still given walkovers in matches during week 2 & 4 despite him always showing up. At most they have 3 members show up. If a player specifically requests a team, I put them on that team. Holy Wheelbarrow Alliance asked me for Sero first, and then I ended up putting Sero on PewPew despite them having the same number of players at the time because Sero specifically asked me to be put on PewPew. idegelchik asked specifically to be put on Nina's team and I am not sure if he would be interested in playing if he was on any other team. I am trying my best to accommodate teams who are having issues getting a full roster to show up by distributing late sign-ups as best I can (ArchdukeZeph was put on SB and bestduck was put on Mac&Cheese today - without them their match-ups would have had a walkover) but I do not want to force players on teams they do not want to play on.
