wow, i wasnt expecting it to fill up so quickly, i was thinking groups of 6, 2 games at once, 3 day direct and auto, vacations honored (unfair to lose games just because you have something in rl) but if the vacation is super long (30 days or more) then you will be kicked out of the league, i will start when i get 30 people (i think 5 groups at first is a healthy number, and then maybe adding a group or two more later on, but i think it would be unfair if it is super popular to have some people take seven seasons to finally get competition, so i dont want too many groups

OK looks good I'm in
as to 1st season dividing of players I think it is not so important
but if i have to choose i would go with random dividing to even groups and 1st go to group 1 2nd to group 2 etc
or
do like in the warlight champions league and divide all player into tier 1,2,3
and have 2 of each tier in each group
after that divide them based on results again 1st go to group 1 2nd to group 2 etc

once again here is the poll http://poll.pollcode.com/isbx1

I'll join.

If we are doing Tiers i would like to go tier 2, I'm not very good at Guiroma, but I would like to have a challenge and play against better players.

Tried to vote twice but couldn't. Fucking democracy

Is there still room?

yes, i will create a new thread announcing that season 1 is guroma, and linking all the tourneys and stuff, people can join until that happens

I'd put myself in Tier 2 - same as Apollo.

So we decidevto let to people pick their tier?

well, about 20 people and 40 votes. That's interesting

23 players.

I vote we cut off players at 24 so that we can have 4 groups of 6.

It looks like dividing the groups by skill is winning, so I guess we're going to start that soon?

And I disagree with players picking their own tier. In my opinion the tiers right now look like this:

Tier 1:
JSA
Gnuffone
Frankdeslimste
Summer

Tier 2:
MilitaryManiac
Ineffable
Kzyshoo
Mr. Pink
ChrisCMU
Mirror

Tier 3:
Clifford
Miyagi
Dom
Austin
Rento

Tier 4:
Pushover
Peace
Apollo
Seahawks

Tier 5:
Arun
Ironheart
Turing
Bluemonkey

I think that is the most even way I can sort out the tiers. Since it will be groups of 6, I would have to rearrange the tiers just a little bit. I think it would be very accurate, especially if Frank and Gnuffone would help sort them out as well and we can go off of that.

The problem with picking tiers is that too many guys want more competition. Apollo and Arun are not bad players but I would definitely not put them with the guys I have right now in Tier 2 because they would lose most of their games, if not all.

If I divided them into groups right now, it would look like this:

Group A:
JSA (very good all-around player)
Gnuffone (very good all-around player)
Frankdeslimste (very good all-around player)
Summer (very good all-around player)
Ineffable (very good all-around player)
Kzyshoo (very good at medium earth, good at other templates)

Group B:
Mr. Pink (Better at other templates than Medium Earth)
ChrisCMU (Better at other templates than Medium Earth)
Mirror (All-around good player)
MilitaryManiac (All-around good player)
Austin (Low activity on warlight but is very good all-around)
Clifford (All-around good player)

Group C:
Rento (Solid-Good player)
Dom (Solid-Good player)
Miyagi (Solid-Good player)
Pushover (Solid-Good player)
Apollo (Solid player)
Seahawks (Solid player)

Group D:
Peace (Solid player)
Arun (Decent player)
Turing (Average player)
Ironheart (Decent at most templates)
Bluemonkey (Average player)

There's some notes to the side of their name about what I think about their play.

Seahawks, feel free to disregard this entire post if you want, I'm just putting my thoughts out there.

these groups look fine, i will create them tomorrow unless there are any objections

I completely agree at all with this tier. But who is austin? I never heard him.

same, but jsa seems to think he is good, and jsa knows more people than i do, so i trust him

Gnuffone, I have just seen him become active recently. I remember seeing his older name, Sir Thomas, in a multiday 1v1 autogame one time. He has done well in my small tournaments beating Kzyshoo twice, Chris once, and another guy once and not losing at all. He also played 1-2 games with Master Race(My brother, previously known as King Tut) on 2v2, and they beat giovanni and schmidt. I don't think he is an alt either because he seems like occasionally he'll make a stupid mistake like he taught himself by watching other players' games but hasn't practiced his moves much himself.

Just my two cents, I was tempted to put him in Group A but I'm not sure if he can consistently play at that level since I have a very small pool of his games that I can see.

As I see there might be still room in this tournament thingy - if I were to judge my own skills i'd rate them somewhere in between group b and c considering jsa's rankings, with a tendency to b perhaps. Is there still space for me to join? If yes, count me in.

Yes. My point wasn t criticizing. I think i know 99% of best player, and i never heard of him. Maybe he join wl before then me. Now was inactive, maybe for this i didn t kniw him.

I'd make the groups now look like this:

Group A:
JSA (very good all-around player)
Gnuffone (very good all-around player)
Frankdeslimste (very good all-around player)
Summer (very good all-around player)
Ineffable (very good all-around player)
Kzyshoo (very good at medium earth, good at other templates)

Group B:
Mr. Pink (Better at other templates than Medium Earth)
ChrisCMU (Better at other templates than Medium Earth)
Mirror (All-around good player)
MilitaryManiac (All-around good player)
Austin (Low activity on warlight but is very good all-around)
Razeev (All-around good player)

Group C:
Rento (Solid-Good player)
Dom (Solid-Good player)
Miyagi (Solid-Good player)
Pushover (Solid-Good player)
Seahawks (Solid player)
Clifford (All-around good player)

Group D:
Peace (Solid player)
Arun (Decent player)
Turing (Average player)
Ironheart (Decent at most templates)
Bluemonkey (Average player)
Apollo (Solid player)

And yeah I understand Gnuffone, I just want to explain my reasoning on putting him so high up in case anyone else had any questions either.

Miyagi disagree Miyagi think Mr. Pink should be in group A if we are rating on guiroma..

He is definitely one of the best guiroma players in game
