you know guys, maybe its not so bad being contempt where you are.
I think there's more to life than trying to make playoffs in main every season, wouldn't yall agree?

At this point I feel like they should combine IM and main for this season. There’s just not enough teams to make an interesting playoffs. Maybe they could at least move a couple of teams up from IM.

Seinfeldare they gonna be forcibly charged the extra money to be in main too

if you check their team page they're all partial payment so looks like it
it also looks like their wr has been set to 50% as well (other teams won and lost 5 rounds each both matches)
what a mess

the best course of action when someone doesnt reply to your in game shit talk is to DM them so they know, screenshot it, post it in a team server, post it on a forum, and then act nonchalant

you guys seem like some cool people

Look the logs? 4 paid up scout subs who combine for less than 20 hours past month btw lmao. Our pscout is arguably the best scout in the div and has played with us the entire season but they fear the scout they literally beat so much as if there is any quantifiable way to prove he's better (proves the opposite actually) other than them losing to him on a map after letting him replace the WORST scout in the div LOL.

ggs only. all im gonna say is that your pocket scout did not play a single playoffs match and minaaj dropped over 60 kills last night across 2 maps. accept the fact that you could have played with a sub. congrats on the win.

I don’t think in this case it would have made a difference as ccp looked a lot better and fluff is good, but I do think this is a good time to bring up a discussion on ringer vs sub culture.

IMO, the current rules give way to much leeway to teams who literally are showing up to an official, scheduled match without 6 players on their roster. Why should the team who show up with a full roster ready to play have to be inconvenienced by having the enemy team literally get their choice of possible ringers who fulfill some vague criteria about being “close to the skill level” of the player they’re replacing.

Subs exist for a reason. You SHOULD be getting subs on your roster to sub in. Ofc, you can always claim that your subs can’t play, they’re away etc (even if it isn’t true), but in that case, the enemy team is really doing you a courtesy to allow you to play the match without a full team. Allowing that team to then pick whoever they want is a little crazy to me. In many cases (again, maybe not in grands this szn, just in general), the team needing a ringer can just pick someone better than their actual player who still qualifies as a default ringer, and now the team who are showing up without 6 are at an advantage?? How does that make sense? The team that has their full team should have MUCH more leverage about allowing players to ring.

Will it suck when you need a ringer for real, and the enemy force you to take a weaker player? Sure, but it’s really not their problem that you don’t have a useful sub and they shouldn’t be forced to just accept a good player. In a big game like this grands, just reschedule if possible, and if it isn’t possible, then again, not sure why the team who have showed up with a full roster are forced to just let the other team get the best possible option.
