actual question because i feel like every week there's a new thread saying how rgl killed their dreams of becoming a full time tf2 player but nobody tries to make a new league or do an e-hunger strike to protest the rules

A new league needs 2 of three things to succeed:
LAN
Better Prize Pools
B4nny

LAN cant happen because of the pandemic
Nobody has the money to put forward better prize pools than RGL without an established playerbase
Fuck b4nny

people dont want to go through the effort of switching leagues, they just wanna play tf2 even if the status quo is not great. remember when tf2stadium tried to replace tf2center?

Does RGL actually provide any infrastructural resources of any kind other than a poorly designed website with a payment processing and distribution system?

Like the old argument for staying with ESEA was that they at least nominally provided servers and anticheat. Do RGL have any dedicated match servers, or a licensed anticheat? Obviously there's a ton of work that's been put into staff, rules, scheduling, etc, but none of that is physical or proprietary.

I get they have a lot of established value but there's nothing actually licensed is there? All their official statements ("Banned in RGL Scrim") talk like they have ESEA-esque match/scrim servers, but I've never actually seen one.

not only does rgl not provide servers, they police your private servers, and their website somehow is just as dysfunctional and provides less useful information/statistics than esea

at least they aren't mining bitcoin

I haven't been to the UGC website in half a decade...site looks pretty navigable and nice

Season 35 ends April 30th. With the right amount of effort we could have healthy competition for an alternative next season.

a new league could be set up fairly simply, the most difficult part would be having a main driver or group willing and capable of organizing everything, and most importantly, having everyone buy in and switch over uniformly. especially being such a small community, we don't want to get into a half in/half out scenario where the community is split between leagues or you risk fizzling out the entire comp scene by attrition. if you had some basic infrastructure to start with and full buy in from the most influential teams/players (& maybe even some crazy luxuries like dedicated servers) the rest would fall into place and everybody else (players, casters, production teams etc) would migrate over and you'd kill RGL. easier said than done, but if the motivation is there it can certainly be done

basically this. if you wanted to run something like regular cups you could definitely co exist with rgl, but there really isnt room in this community for two leagues that want to fill the same niche.
