z4chAloSecMr_PerfectI think that a TFTV League/ Community made league sounds intriguing and I bet a lot of people would be willing to try this out, hopefully...
I'm also in support of a TFTV league: it's the most centralized of all the current options. Almost everyone who plays comp TF2 has at least heard of TFTV or even visited it... it would be the easiest for people to transition into.
In my opinion, the best option is a merge of efforts between UGC, AG, and TFTV to create a centralized NA league.
I think that's a pretty good idea. Which leads to another.
Why not combine a bunch of these ideas? Have TFTV sponsor a community made league that is either made from, or made with tf2.gg? Have the competitive site, league, and pug system all together so we can be one strong community?
Yep, this is exactly my thinking, you worded it in a way I can't.
Right now ESEA's major edge on other leagues is its centralization & monopoly on the top players: everyone is already playing ESEA and the top players have nowhere else to play seriously. The easiest way for a new league to topple these defenses is to have a league built from the ground up by the community's biggest players (enigma, banny, etc) created specifically with the idea of making a uniform mass migration from one league to the other.
Emphasis being on 'uniform'. We don't have enough players to scatter them across two leagues. We either have one working league or a number of failing leagues.
edit: web-site based pug systems are facing this issue as well: tf2center vs. tf2lobby vs. tf2.gg
