Fuck u Rgl.

just put them both in

We legit know nothing besides it being on Sunday, round robin best of 3. :D

we think its around scrim time!

its in 1 day and nothing is being told to any of us. God Bless RGL.

wtf is this hahahaha

makka I hope you trip and fall fucking moron

makka plez let me play invite !!!

So Makka told me there might be a qualifier on Thursday night. Initially it was meant to be just my team (HRT) vs 503xAG, but now the esper team is also playing the qualifier. He kept telling me that the qualifier was just in case one of three teams didn't die, and well it seems like all three of us really want to play invite. I have had to ask him for info repeatedly to figure out that each team will play 2 maps against each other, and maps are 30 minutes 5 rounds. There probably will not be a cast, and I don't have an RGL page for the matches yet so I don't know much more than that.

It seems like makka was really hoping one of our teams would die before the season started. Now he has put together a last minute qualifier the day before the season starts and is forcing us to play on a Sunday night with no chance at rescheduling. Awesome!

Edit: I was literally just asked if I want our matches to start at 9 or 10pm ! Wish us good luck!

GOOD LUCK !!!!

and anyone on any of these teams, PLEASE STREAM IT !!!!!!

I'll stream my pov
twitch.tv/dankk_

I think part of it is also reliant on if my team lives or dies, cause that's still a bit up in the air rn, and if we die all 3 of u guys can play inv and I still am not sure either way

apparently makka said that if an invite team dies and they need another one they'd move up someone within the first three weeks of the season? not 100% on that tho

good luck to both teams

edit: shut the fuck up brad

I will be streaming this at twitch.tv/charis_bruh .

was cancelled lol

virgil team died :/

we get told it's canceled. so all 3 teams start to pay up, now we are being told we have to play the qualifiers again. LOL! awesome

Apparently the virgil team isn't dead according to ire circa 5 minutes ago? yerb's team can't make tonight anymore so there's no way this shit is happening, and no one knows what's going on. actually a fucking shitshow

lets go!!!!

I'm willing to put up with a lot of things from RGL, including the sudden need for a 3 team qualifier, but I can't fathom why there wasn't a strict deadline for invite teams to get settled. I like everyone on the virgil team and no hate to them because frankly, this isn't their fault. But they were given the option by RGL to come back after saying they were dead, after we started paying up, and after people started making other plans with a night we had no business competing on this late.

I respect the need for a qualifier, but having a minimum of 18 people waiting at the last minute on whether they are playing an incredibly important match night is very frustrating.

Also, I just got word that the virgil team has decided to not play invite and I just wanted to give my immense respect to them for a hugely selfless decision that came from an awful situation.

edit: guess it was on RGL to take out pootis and not entirely their decision? Either way I can't blame them in the slightest for wanting to keep their invite team alive because they're great, but man what an awful situation in general

I take this as the final decision, I hope.

It's actually astounding the inconsistency in how RGL (a.k.a. Makkabeus) is handling invite as a whole this season. This is a fucking joke. Initially, we were told we were getting moved to invite. Everyone was fine with it. Then the day before it was planned to happen, we are told that there will be a 2 (then 3) team qualifier but if a team dies it's off? Ok, we live with it. Then a team dies the day the qualifier is supposed to take place (their team page was taken down from the list of invite teams too) and it's said that the qualifier is off. Now we're being told last fucking minute that the team is apparently undead (even though I can't find their team page) and we're gonna have to play said qualifier.

Where is the consistency? This league is actually making this game so unfun due to their horrendous ability to make consistent rulings and plan things ahead. I really hope that Makkabeus is removed from the position of head admin because this is unbearable.

It's all so tiresome.

tbh i like the idea of an invite qualifier a lot but they shouldnt it be doing it this close to the start of matches, the probably correct decision would be to either make invite teams be set earlier or to push back the season a bit so the qualifier can happen at least ~a week before the first matches instead of just a few days in order to avoid situations like this

i understand their unpreparedness though considering that rgl has really struggled to populate invite for the past few seasons so it must be weird to suddenly have 3 moveup teams trying to get in

i told makka my team is dead then like 15 minutes later i messaged him that it wasn't cause something changed, and now we're being told no qualifier and that we can't play invite :D

this is a fucking joke we were told we had to get 6 by 10, we did, and now we're told we can't play invite!!

also i appreciate the kudos but it was NOT up to us that we don't get to play invite

extremely lame decision but in fairness u dont just message an admin that your team is dead unless you're 200% sure

RGL definitely should have had all of this planned out way earlier, the teams should've played each other a week ago and settled it. Isn't the season starting literally tomorrow?

yea that's fair but even still yosh messaged the invite admin (ire) seperately and he told him that we had till 10 est to get 6 and then when we met that he changed his mind.
