The problem with PugChamp is after the IM+ pugs happen no one captains the Open pug so none of those players get picked. And then the previous pugs end and rinse and repeat. People just need to captain after the IM+ pugs happen. If you want to get your pugs up so you are able to captain just Medic and don't be god awful and you'll get picked.
Edit: There's also been a lot of players added up recently I don't remember the last time I've seen 20+ people added in pugs before 7 EST
