are we even going to have 6-7 living invite teams? everything i hear about next season's lineups is that FT, CC, XEN are done so we'd be sitting on 4 survivors in bp, mix, ag, vector. throw in Mad Men, that xalox/anonemouse team, the hypothetical br0 reform, we're at 7, and then pull up dun's team if they come back with their predicted new roster, i guess you're moving up r5, the ducks, and ostrich poachers to hit 11, and then we're looking at big mangachu's squad in invite for the 12th spot.
i think a 12 team invite would be pretty reliant on another 2 teams to be made out of the recycling bin of tf2 players and i still don't know if it would generate all that much competition or kill team's spirits even more. it's interesting to think about, at least. i think a main would be better as an option to make divisions competitive beyond the top 2 but who knows really
