I think plenty of captains are having a tough time fielding and gathering an entire team to play for this Trench Wars Draft Tournament. The times for the most popular league in our zone are when a lot of players are either asleep or maybe hung over from Saturday nights on the west coast are incredibly inconvenient.
This you can only play 2 of 3 leagues rule until playoffs is absolutely counterproductive to the league and now because of an all new HMS Stargazer's ruling to destroy PUMA. (Last week he decided to manually host a broken down bot game and disrupt my squad. I wonder what staff will think of next week to take a win from my squad?
Anyways. I talked with HMS Stargazer in game about the lack of players I had forcing this situation and he replies, "well you had 6 in the dd and jd and 9 in the bd." This "League Coordinator" wasn't present in any of the games, didn't speak to anyone present in any of the games while making his 'informed decision.' Instead guess what he did? He looked at the logs. Now you don't have to be the sharpest tool in the shed to realize that a log of the game only tells half of the story. For the TWDTD my squad had the_paul as a 5th who was at work during the game and specced everytime a customer came. Whatever, his job was... a pimp? He had a lot of customers and we played 4v5. I desperately run into the corner of the arena and call Beastie who has on his dsb alias in dsb to come here. He replied he was unable to play due to 15% s2c lag. I said fuck it, let's just hope it miraculously dissolves upon entering TW and you can play. Well, that was a huge fail. We lost the DD, okay. Fine. It's not TW staff's fault. For the TWDTJ we had similar problems in organizing people and barely getting 5 to show.
Next comes the TWDTB. Well, many of our players had no other option but to play the other 2 leagues or we knew we'd have to forfeit them. I didn't want to add the players I did in these leagues when they don't even play that ship, however, an overall MISMANAGEMENT of this league, undersized rosters due to an unfair cap limit, and sloppy league coordinators who do not delve for the facts; instead they look at game logs leaves me with NO OTHER OPTIONS.
If this plague on this league persists. You're going to lose at least 1/8 of your player base. No one on my squad is happy about the last two rulings this past few weeks and will just move on with our lives and do something more fun on a Sunday morning, afternoon, or evening. Like sleep, watch paint peel, or drink Finlandia till we have no more brain cells and make retarded judgements like some people...
Change the rules or risk the fall out of an already lackadaisacal community of players.
