no trip will not be playing
rosters are locked and they are fully aware of the rules they are breaking and the consequences of doing so

he is simply practicing with them because those who will be playing the match don't want to play scrims / practicing for next season

It's understandable that blue should have the 5th seed, but I don't see why you care so much..if you deserve a placement, then you should be able to beat a team that has cloudmaker.

rather ironically had trip not been banned than we would be playing blue in the first place

It's not that I want to be able to unfairly claim my team as a top 4 IM team if we don't deserve it. Anyone who has talked to me for any length of time about my teams knows that I don't have a shred of Dunning-Kruger about them.

But,

1. As a point of pride, we had a better season than Gold, and I want the standings to reflect that.
2. If there's money on the line for making it x rounds in, of course I want an easier schedule, especially if it's actually deserved, ie the team that is getting a harder schedule due to us deserves a harder schedule, so we're not snatching money from them that they deserve.
3. Gold already had like the easiest schedule in IM, and shouldn't get extra benefits on top of that (though they already did get extra benefits, namely getting ranked above teams better than them in those weekly IM rankings for 2 seasons in a row).

1:23 PM - tri: in the event of a 3 way tie it goes down to rounds against the other teams in the 3 way tie
1:24 PM - tri: blue, gold, part time fraggers

...Gold never even played Part Time Fraggers rofl

So Gold got 4 rounds there (4 against us, 0 against PTF)
PTF got 5 rounds (5 against us, 0 against Gold)
we got 5 rounds (5 against Gold, 0 against PTF)

so AT BEST part time fraggers deserves the seed above us (even tho we have more rounds for)

careful mustard, wouldnt want to lose the sponsor that doesnt pay for you !

I told ex to change the team name to Mad Lucrative Blows but he wouldn't do it

...well this fucks up my scrapped together playoffs preview that I thought was finished...

yeah LOL time to ask everyone for statements again
but yeah the seeding is messed up

ya as soon as you can find someone to throw nearly 300$ at your team let me know and Ill opt out asap.

U represent ur brand v well 'lucrative'

idk everyone on mad lux gold should in theory make a really solid team but i think its impossible to play well and have fun with lucrative, their team starts off really strong every season and then gets worse the longer they play toghether.

nah actually we should be ahead of MLX Blue. you aren't taking into account the rule ESEA has where any team that you are a part of automatically has -10 RF and automatically loses all h2h regardless of match results for you being such an annoying twat every time you get the brilliant idea to post on the forums (who gives a fuck about power rankings ahah jesus).

joking aside, ESEA always changes playoff brackets manually this was just generated by their system. i'm sure it will get fixed. you've played very well this season and MLX-Blue had a great run at the end. i don't think there's a single person that believes we should be the higher seed, our team included.

luc has taken several hits to his cranium playing rugby and has a tendency to rage and is very competitive please cut him some slack. some people cant handle the heat, despite what you may have heard from others in the community that get butt hurt over luc's attitude this season has actually been fine, we have a group that gets a long well currently.

i think for the most part we are happy with how we've done since picking up dolphin rider and playing a bit, we'll be missing dance for the playoffs first round due to a business trip but it's whatever. i also play about 1/4th as much as the rest of my team so i can be blamed for some of our inconsistency.

Part time fraggers demand fair placement thanks for watching out for us mustard
