hannah...would rather see RGL be improved to a point where we are happy with it than start a whole new thing
The only problem I have with there being one league is that it gives too much power to control its player base. A person getting banned for a minor non-cheating offense on RGL means they just can't play comp TF2 unless they want to resort to ringing or pugging. If your demo is banned for three months for whatever reason, you're not going to keep scrimming with him and then find a ringer for matches. You'll just find a new demo.
If the bans were limited to cheating, horrible behavior, or other things that the community can agree, "Yeah, we don't want this dude who keeps DDoSing teams to stick around in comp TF2, fuck him, gatekeep him the fuck out" it'd be one thing. But a lot of cool people get caught in the crosshairs with demo bans and casting bans, and we've had many threads about this before. And those aren't the things that you can fix by throwing money at them.
