You would lose =(, but the 2vs2 idea is good!

[Dreamwin]

I like this idea and i would definetly like to see this happen in tw. Also make a big tournament where best teams compete, like twl. Just like someone said before.

[Money]

Do it.

[Scoop]

I like it.

[Galaxy Turbo]

Exactly, I think the idea is small but if it ever made a TWL style league, it would be very manageable, lots of interest, and since it's 2v2, comparing that to the population, it would increase competition massively.

Game on.

[Valholy]

I agree completely. We should at least give this new 2v2 League a try. Because this game is very community based, everyone has at least a few friends, many players would participate in this league and would add some much needed competition to the zone. Keep it Warbird vs Warbird or Jav vs Jav, any variations will just decrease the competition and make things messy.
I think the two options that are available are:
1) Strictly two players per team. Switching teams would result in a penalty.
2) A small roster (of maybe 5?). The "squad" captains choose which two players to add in the 2v2. This style will allow the captain to make substitutes in case of lag or suckages.

This isn't new, it was done in like 2000 with mediocre results :P With the right person running it it might work though

[Mantra-Slider]

haha yeah I remember that league. funny shit.
players had a week or something to get the game going in a private pub arena and then send in the scores themselves to the leaguehost. I was quite new at the time and me and waaaaaah!! were robbed on our victory cos the more well-known opponents refused to confirm they had lost. They were so bitter
Im not sure what happend with that league really, I cant remember it being finished?

I think Kahlan just wants staff, like Sertifi, offering his 'vast' java knowledge (even though poor Sertifi had nothing to offer). Bad idea; would be another failure like TWSD, being popular for exactly 1 week. Besides, it would injure tourny competition. If you want to begin this "new league", just beg staff to make tourny full-time instead.

[Downfall]

sounds like a good idea. i already have a partner in mind :turned:

[Purple Heart]

What would you guys think of a permanent 2v2 league? A league identical to TWDD and TWJD except with 2 players instead of 4. I'd say, non-squad-based. You could pick your partner, so it was just ONE partner. And you'd be ranked together as a partnership and it wouldn't be individual at all. So changing partners would be pretty much pointless unless your partner was inactive or something. I think the TW community would respond positively toward it. I see that ?go tourny is incredibly popular on the weekends and that a number of people play with the same partner quite frequently. I've run it by a few people and I've gotten nothing but positive reinforcement for the idea so I thought I'd take it to the TW Forums to get large-scale feedback. So, to sum up:

A 2v2 league with 1 partner, ranking system based on the team as a whole. As a bonus to staffers: There could probably be several "boxes" in one arena with one bot controlling them all, so it would be less trouble than the current TWD setup. The ?go duel map should be pretty much all you'd need. Just a thought, I'd appreciate the feedback because if this league goes underway, I'd be really excited to play it.

-edit- It would also be beneficial because I know tons of people have the problem of waiting for a TWD game due to lack of players. Now if you and your partner have the same play-schedule then you could play your matches when you can't TWD. Just a thought

Would actually be kind of cool if 2v2 WAS squad related. As in if a squad needs points, put in your two best players against another squads 2 best to try to snag some last minute points (for w/e reason). Or hell, like you said if you don't have 4 online, just play with two.

[Kahlan]

I was thinking completely non-squad related. And of just a 2v2 partnership without a roster. I see the same people partner a lot in ?go tourny, probably the most famous for it is Sis + Soze. But whatever could get it going the fastest works for me.

[Ricko]

i was thinking more of this 2v2 being squad related, have mini squads with a roster of around 5, with a captain, with a twd style website and a twl style form of an elite league once or twice a year. Result.
