Three league squads / TWLB

[Disqualifier]

As you all know, TWLD is for the elite, TWLJ for the wannabe-vets and TWLB just to keep newbies entertained.. All three leagues have their purpose, although not quite those what I said, but something along with those lines..

Anyway, to the point. There are quite many squads around that play in all three leagues - Ancients, -FINAL-, Disoblige, Pallies, Pirates, Venom - but not many that can put up a fight in all of those three different playing types of TW.

At the moment, correct me if I'm wrong, only -FINAL- and Disoblige are going to make playoffs in all three leagues. Ancients, Pirates and Venom are out in basing, Pallies are just out in general. (What happened to them?)

Okay, if there still is a slight chance that this thread has a meaning, it's that is basing really that tough for dueling squads? Basing itself isn't hard, even winning a TWDD game is much tougher - but when you bring basing to this level, it is hard and tough, and it's just more than these squads can handle. Why's that? Could it be that TWLB has the potential to be a league taken seriously?

So now you got the idea that TWLB means nothing to me.. That's untrue, it is a league that has a meaning but to me, as I've played this league since its very first days and ran it for a few seasons, if you compare the winner of TWLD and TWLB, it's not hard to put them in order. TWLD is what TWL was and still is about. Only my opinion, but that's how it goes.

Okay, now this post turned into bashing of TWLB.. which isn't good - but not that bad either. I actually started this thread to mention that Venom, Pallies and the other squads aren't competing - and that we're still in - in TWLB anymore but it turned into this. I was just too bored, had 30 minutes to kill in school. Sorry!

Hey Disq ^-^
If some squads are made up of players who purely base, you would think they should always be able to beat a squad of players who only devote a small proportion of their gaming time to basing. But theres other factors that should affect if a team is good in all three leagues like the experience of the players, how they work as a team. if the backup players can match the performance of the first team.
and -Final- will make play-offs in all three leagues because of the depth of their team, the players seem commited and the amount of experience they share between them
<3 -Final- :wub:

YOU TWLB HATER 3> 3> 3>

If TWLD is that close to TWLB why the hell do i have this lil thingle in my head that says your not 100% right?

Dont know whats really your point of view disq. You think that twld/lj are harder because there are few (3/4) top squads that compete between themselves ?

I think the oposite, i think twlb is the hardest league to win because its the most competitive one. Atm there are about 6/7 squads that can win the champ at my concern. Also upsets are more common than at twlj/ld. See spastic vs sk8 for ex. bc vs spastic. Spastic played good lines and still lost. And about spastic vs A-s ? Wtf a-s was 5-0 then lost to spastic 2-15 ?

So i think playoffs gonna be pretty exciting and very unpredictable. I wouldnt be surprised to se lots of "upsets" at twlb and a non expected champ. While at twlj/ld we allways know that the winner is any of those 3 top squads

Dueling is hard because 95% of the newbs started with warbird and can't play anything else until they figure out how to change ships. :fear:

Good thread and I must agree, basing is the easiest league, Pallies will always suck, and Disoblige will _probably_ once again succeed in making all the playoffs... that would make three seasons in a row now biatches..

However, basing is the hardest to win, because it's so easy and therefor anyone has a chance to win as long as they practise enough and can stay concentrated on doing their job..

Yeah, that pretty much showes that TWLJ and TWLD are harder leagues, you really have to work to be one of the top competitors in those leagues. Sure there is wider scale of competitive squads in TWLB, and anyone can take the championship, but that shows that it's easier to become a good squad in TWLB. I'm not saying that winning TWLB is easier than winning TWLJ/LD, it probably isn't as there are so many good squads, but it's harder to become a real threath in those other two leagues.

Wow, this thread is worthless... I mean, on top of everything here being complete opinion, incoherent, and pointless, it's already been said before. Why do we need to go down this stale road one more time?

[Sumpson]

TWLD for the elites? I thougt the warbird was created for newbies. Warbird can be fun to players, it's just what you care about. for example I only care about TWLB and it doesn't mean anything to me who wins TWLJ or TWLD.
Altho BasingCrew will get into dueling for next season since there are some members interested in this also, and could add some fun to the squad.
I don't think you can compair the leagues, they are all very different and the only thing that matters about it is how much you care about it.

[Ephemeral]

My opinion is that Warbirding and Javving are subsets of the team game that Basing represents. It is like taking a single position in another team games and making it stand-alone.

Example. Make a new sport out of soccer or hockey by simply shooting penalty shots. Who needs all those other positions? The excitement is really about the scoring of goals, not play making.
Another example would be basketball. Simply make a new sport for slam-dunking. This is the excitement anyway, gorilla slams with plenty of trash talking to go along with it?

All are subsets of the original team games.

TWLB has the largest luck factor.

In javelins and warbirds, a good team will always beat a bad one.
In base, even a "bad" team can surprise the good one I think.


btw did Predator Rulez hack disq's forum account? :fear:

edit: I agree with everything Ephemeral said.

I love it when you are an underdog ..

[AnZu]

haha i'm happy we aren't 3 league squad!

[Sleepy Weasel]

All the cool people have left and are doing other things so the game isn't that fun for us anymore. It was always about the people that kept us all logged on, not the spaceships.

I agree with Disq here. I think the reason why TWL-B has more competition, is that it doesn't take nearly amount of skill that is needed to succeed in TWL-D or in TWL-J. It's a fun league to play, I don't mind playing it sometimes. But its just the truth, IMO.
