To add to that, there could very well be an RPS situation among three teams, and if there is a playoff spot battle between two of those teams, the losing one should not be punished for being on the losing end of that specific matchup. This is one example of many cases, but I think that's where even having a points system shows its value, rather than replacing W/L.

RGL Points System
in
TF2 General Discussion
you missed the point: they earned the ability to do so, but now they can't. It has nothing to do with what they would choose to do

RGL Points System
in
TF2 General Discussion
They make the argument that it promotes teams to try their hardest every match, and maybe it does, but all it really does is make the objective of playing getting points instead of winning. Sure, there might be a bit of excitement around this last playoff spot, but it's completely manufactured by the points system. If a team knows they're making playoffs, they've earned the luxury of not trying their hardest in their subsequent matches. You see it all the time in the NBA, where top players rest instead of playing irrelevant matches. Maybe the players in H5 Demoman and Rat Jail want to take a breather from TF2 to rejuvenate before LAN, but now they can't completely arbitrarily.

Who will make playoffs in RGL Season 2?

KCREW making lan with a worse record than the 5th place team would be the worst. Like I was rooting for them to make playoffs, but to do so in this manner just doesn't make any sense. Even if they don't qualify, this is simply a joke of a ruleset.

does dodging lan mean saying you're gonna go and then dipping or does saying you're not gonna go in advance without baiting your team still count? because banning someone for the latter seems kinda scuffed it that's the case

the one good thing about sigafoo banning froyo from prolander is that we know that if he says he's gonna do something, he'll actually do it
