TWL Qualification Rules and Updates!! READ THIS!!

[Vehicle]

As far as my two cents are concerned: TWLB has become pretty bland with this 5 spider stuff. But I would tend to agree that a 5 spider line is generally (with some exception,) stronger than a 4 spider + one specialty ship. This means that most squads with the intention of winning will play 5 spiders and thus continue the dull series of TWL seasons. (By series, I mean the past two seasons.)

You are then left with two choices: Limit the amount of spiders in TWL to increase excitement (for lack of a better word.) Or leave the amount of spiders the same for the sake of nostalgia, and be left with gameplay similar to the last two seasons.

Both choices present valid points, but it seems to me that base is on a downward trend. And, while I wouldn't place all the blame on bad TWLB seasons, I would say that it definatly has had some effect.

So basically, I think a 4 spider limit should have been imposed.

[Randedl]

Im sort of glad there is a 4 spider limit considering there really arent many specialty s hip players atm. Plus Ice is already a favorite in LB dont need to make them even stronger by making squads play vs necro in jav.

don't forget that guy they have in warbird? what's his name? he's pretty damn good!

[Peace_Maker]

Warbird is not strong enough to help break cram vs sharks that have any sort of common sense. -Peace

[Jeenyuss]

Not true, fuck. FUCK.:santa:

[PjOtTeR]

Actually nickname that was spoken like someone that beat ice yesterday while necro was in jav. Isn't he considered to be the best jav right now? -Peace

Might be the best, though i've no idea never saw him play as of lately. But is he a good basejav? nope... Atm i don't think there is a basejav that can make his team better then an additional spider would like crvenban was for diso 2 seasons back( wether that was cause of our lack of good spiders or him being good(laggy), i have no idea.)

My opinion is that the league shouldn't try to control any of the ships. 8 terriers? Go for it. 1 Terrier and 7 sharks? Why not? I think it would make for some very interesting matches.
And remove the hard ship switch limits too, perhaps change it to a 15 second time 'cost' to switch a ship.
And allow a few Thors too. LOL

Well ya a wb like urself can be deadly also, but its ezier to control a wb like u then it is to control necro...or lets say necro's lag. Plus his bombs kill or can kill multiple ppl Its hard to tell when necro can or will bomb for the simple fact even tho u see bullets hitting him on our screens it dont seem to hit on his.

All playoff Squads that participated in the previous Trench Wars Leagues playoff will be granted automatic admission to play in this season. At a date to be later disclosed by the League Operators, the highest-ranking TWD Squads in each division will fill the remaining TWL spots of that division. Squads that dissolved at any time during the previous season, or prior to the new season's start, will have to re-enter Trench Wars Leagues through the TWD system. Squads that intend to return must have at least ONE captain from previous season.

In order for a TWD Squad to qualify for TWL consideration, that Squad must meet all Trench Wars Leagues requirements. In addition, the Squad must have played a minimum of 15 matches in the specific division (Basing, Dueling, Javelins) they are attempting to qualify for. Squads that have not met the minimum 15 games played requirement will not be considered for Trench Wars Leagues qualification. Also, the average rating of squads the squad played (aka Ave R on twd lader) will also be considered during qualification. It is adviced to at least get it above 1000.

Returning Squads

the following squads will be returning to their respective leagues if they choose to accept the invitation, which will be send out in a later date

TWLD: -Final-, Pirates, Ancients, Sk8
TWLJ: -Final-, Pirates, Sk8, Ancients, Disoblige
TWLB: -Final-, Anti-Scrub, Basingcrew, Disoblige

Spider-Limit

The TWL Ops have decided that there will be NO 4-spider limit this season.

TWL Rules

TWL Ops are now working on fixing/revamping the twl rules. Once done, an update will be posted.

oh shit, we need to get at least 1000 points by the end of december..

Terr, 3 sharks and 4 spids would be some serious ownage in the cram. I'd rather quit basing than play with those lines.

Against a team with 6 terriers and two greened levs? Or a team of 8 terriers? Think about all the portals and bursts! LOL Thors! Thors! LOL

But seriously, if it is true that there needs to be a certain and limited blend of ships to make things competitive in a league, then why are pubs pretty much wide open as far as ship combinations? If the point is to make things competitive, why aren't there 8 ?go Bases running instead of pubs? Why is there even a ship called lev in TW?

Sometimes I think that the current situation is that TW is half-pregnant. Like TW isn't quite sure what it wants to be and how to be it.

[Troll King]

People always counter by saying that people will just stick to the same lines anyway. I never understood that position, because that's not an argument for removing ship limits; taking that rule out gives them more choice. If they still make the same choice anyway then that's fine. They can still do that.

I am pretty sure Neth was talking about the AVE Rating, which is the average rating of the squads you play. I think your's is above 1000.

[Dyers eve]

No 4 Spider limit? There goes my chance to prove my true jav skills this Twl

[T Mac-1]

special ships are esily controled by good spiders it would be a lame duck in a league match

I'm pretty sure you havent been in a twlb game or seen a twlb game where da1andonly or nockm javs.

Then you have no idea who Kuukunen is.

[Cig Smoke]

Kuukunen is lagg, thast what he is. But dad's is basicaly correct. Any special ship with 2 decent sharks it can be controled, of course there are a few exceptions like Necro who will get a few bombs through a game that could impact it, but overall most special ships are useless.
