Warrior General Games

+1. Reasonable suggestion as long as it is based on the end ranking from the previous season (which is reasonable since you can't base it on ranked pre-season scrim rating when many teams have played no ranked scrims).

Hatch, imho you're being crazy. Hedgehogs play a fuckload of ranked scrims and are ranked 46th. Granted we don't try to scrim lesser teams and seem to split even with WL teams, but the notion that that there will be Pro (or even WL) teams that are going to sched a bunch of easy scrims to boost their global rating by like 20, is pretty lolz. Some might do it, but the advantage won't be too big a deal and it'll be rare enough to be a non-issue.

It is better than the current system. I haven't actually paid for a scrim in like 15 seasons (team flex bank ftw) so they are basically free anyhow if you don't have a team with only your own dots as peeps tend to want to see their dots in more scrims. Don't make this harder than it has to be.


Fwiw I personally don't care if they fix seeding, but would make more sense to put it by global rankings or EL than the current system.

correct me if I am wrong here. the reason we have the suggestions forum is so people can post suggestions. and then other members are allowed to discuss and offer feedback on the suggestion. this is done to help ensure that all aspects of a suggestion are looked at. and that most possible exploits or drawbacks to a suggestion are brought to light. If I am wrong on this I do apoligize to T2 for pointing out a potential problem with his suggestion.

but to tell me I am crazy for pointing out a real exploit is a little frigged up to me. I agree the exploit doesn't mean shit to the overall game. but is it still not a possible exploit? you know what really gets me on this is it really seems T2 took me pointing out a flaw in the suggestion to heart. I meant no disrespect at all. I was just trying to have a open discussion and bring the suggestion full circle. so that there was no possible problems that could possibly arise if the suggestion was implemented.

per Catch, likely NGTH. The tourney is already seeded by EL and that's how it's likely to stay.
