Next League

[Beast]

dang, I was about to donate 1k, but had zero info on structure. but this is still nice, and a good start, may the best idea, and implementation win

[Pressure]

I think a TWDT with 10 teams using the prize money would be far more interesting than TSL personally...

Giving a bigger amount of the prize $$$ to captains to incentivize the best caps & most competitive season possible, and then still giving the players the majority of the $$$. Dont know how it would be split and it's probably (?) too soon to start another DT.

Assuming Wirah doesn't host other money leagues after donating the $5,000, then splitting that prize money and putting a small amount of that toward a summer league to increase activity and incentivize veterans logging in may be helpful. Throughout that summer league, a money-incentivized TWDT or TWL could be announced and squads can form and prepare in the background of TSL, with the remainder of the prize money going toward the bigger/more important league.

Again, a hybrid TWDT/TWL draft league with 4-6 person squad cores could also be interesting.

Potential map for TSLJ

I made some minimal changes to actual map aside from the doors.

Doors would close after 15 mins of play. (If we are playing to 10)

People can still endlessly run, but this may cut down on it.

What if we made TSL dollar value change to penny value that was real cash .. lol that could be amazing.. :idea3:

Wow so that 5k come from Wirah solely? Holy shit. If it is then Wirah solely should decide how it must be spend. As others I have my opinion and I think a simple top 10 (18 for base) get money based on which position and a bonus for winners in the all star game. I think giving money to everybody that play is bad, but yeah if let say Ease finish 1st in all 3 leagues and win the 3 all star games he would take a big part. But the fight would be awesome and people would play a lot I think!

Super appreciative and grateful for Wirah's willingness to put money up for a league. I would never tell someone what to do with their money, but perhaps such a large sum of money can be spread across multiple leagues, as TSL is definitely not the premier TW league.

Potential TSLB map.

I removed some cram blocks and beefed up mid to make up for weaker cram. This should also make under more fun to play, will be bit awful for terr.

Not sure how to upload it but could be fun to test in some bds. Could be utter trash, who knows.

Upload the map and i'll gladely host it! -snoop

Could be interesting to get paid by the win. some small amount that tally's up all season. Everyone would get something, and we could increase the payday as games go on to really up the intensity.

Gotta do something about the running in jav/wb, probably what i suggested earlier.

$5k is a very specific amount of money to throw in, and it seems as though its a given that there will be a prizepool of this amount.

So is this money an incentive for participating or a reward for winning?

Spreading the awards out a bit to include more potential winners while simultaneously reducing the potential for an absurd personal payoff for any one player may help to make people less crazy over it. So in addition to the obvious stipends to the winners, you could throw in an award for best comeback, most improved player/squad, most tks, most r4s, most deaths to sprackle, whatever. It could be fun to throw in a few mario party style awards that nobody will know about until after all is said and done.

Before anybody accuses me of wanting to add meaningless awards because thats the only way I may see some cash,
that is accurate.

But in all seriousness, I think the monetary aspect is uncharted territory for this community and should be treated delicately. I'd like to believe we're all mature adults and can handle a bit of competition accordingly, but I just finished the last chapter of the fire appeal last night before bed.

Can't we keep things that have been almost 99% the way they have been for the past 20 years... the same?

If you're trying to make it easier on weaker teams, the side tubes should be easier on Terriers not harder. That looks like a nightmare to fly through side tubes at fast speeds. I like the extra tiles in mid tube though, should provide some cover, same with extra tiles in mid base. It does raise some concerns about weaker teams not being able to enter mid base though.

It would be interesting to try out that taller cram. Why does nobody ever consider moving the flag, and completely changing the cram entrance?

Would be fun to play and give it a try. Mid-cram will be the new meta for this.

I like it. TSLB is notorious for uneven teams, making it less cram prone could open things up and help making some less improbable wins happen.
