Poor guys from incredible Panic.
They run a league called IPL, you come along as a big name, so they change their name to IPTL (Incredible Panic Team League). Now you change your name again to the exact same abbreviation they previously used.
I fear they'll run out of names soon. |

Awesome.  I would prefer if the challenger tier had the same format as the top tier, though. Also, I don't think "Amateur" is a good name for the open tier, since there will no doubt be several pro teams in it. |

| Awesome. Zenex deserves to be in this but each time they have very hard opponents. Now they can play again ! |

For every pro team I'd bet 2 or 3 scrub teams join, I know I'm going to try and get my CSL team to sign up |

I talked about this style a few weeks ago in some thread. would be awesome if you also created nonbroadcasted team leagues to get into the amateur league. kind of like game battles for mlg. love the style and I hope that you bring in a cup style tournament after main season to allow teams in different divisions to face off

I think calling it "Amateur division" is pretty odd. I mean, in IPLTAC3, there are temas like Zenex which aren't competing (because they didn't qualify). But if they want to qualify for later seasons, they get described as an "amateur" team, whereas they clearly aren't. I think something like "Open Division" would be a much better name.
Other than that, awesome. <3 |

This is pretty awesome. It has truly been a pleasure to see the evolution of the team arena, from it's beginning back in the summer of 2011 as a weekly showmatch between EG and Reign, then transforming into the IPL TAC challenge. TAC 1 was great, then TAC 2 became even larger, and now TAC 3 looks to be even bigger. All we need now are LAN finals please
Great job with the team league IPL. |

| I love this format, but like others think that only the top four teams in the elite level are guaranteed to keep their places. More churn! |

I feel like
Match 1 - Team A v Team B
Match 2 - Team C v Team D
Match 3 - Winner of Match 1 v Winner of Match 2
Match 4 - Loser of Match 1 v Loser of Match 2
Match 5 - Loser of Match 3 v Winner of Match 4
isn't a good format for getting the top 3 out of 4 from a group. Match 5 is one of those kinda pointless placement matches where neither team can be eliminated or get the 1st round bye, which makes it pretty boring to watch in my opinion. Why not just do an actual round robin?
Anyway, I'm excited for these changes as a whole, especially having an actual open bracket and a nice relegation system, so I hope this works out well for you all :D |

I missed this initially but I think this is a good point. If only the first place in the group gets a bye round, and only the last place gets sent to up/downs, then Match 5 matters very little.
I guess they could send the bottom place team to the challenger division automatically, and the 3rd place to up/downs. Or just change the format. Though it is nice since it's reminiscent of bw.Last edit: 2012-05-10 15:04:17 |
