Yes they can. We'll just take Garuda's spots. Not like they have any good teams.
We've got the season 10 SEAPL champions over here in Garuda...
Damn it PRJ stop derailing threads with your jokes
seriously. I have much respect for Manila, but they aren't champions by any stretch of the imagination.
I just don't see anyone other than LSP or Bangkok coming out of Garuda, at which point BPP or ESL will win that match, again.
Pa Dong is making a serious run at it this season. The marauders have a beasty front four. If it all fold out a certain way you might not see either BLPP or ESL in the league championship

So a world league wouldn't change BLPP's mind to stick it out another season, if they are in the top 4?
wouldn't change mine if I were them. This game is about the forums, not the flashing dots. The WPL forum is going to absolutely fucking blow. The competition will be fun, but isn't joe tired of gameplanning for like 3 regular season SEAPL games +playoffs already? I know of some people in ESL that are. How long till the allure wears off and you see twenty games minimum every two days you have to plan for, much harder than games you planned for here. I wonder the frustrations coordiantors will go through when they are doing all the work by themselves in that league.
Seeing the best teams in the WPL would be cool to watch no doubt and probably good for the game. But don't be shocked if some people don't want to put even more of there lives into this game. I just think this will lead to teams burning out quicker than they would have. Maybe i'm in the minority on the forums thing, but i'd rather come here and talk to some of the bad posters here then talk with 90% of the canada/usa people. I also worry that I will lose the thing that DID bring me to GLB because of this league.
This idea isn't a bad one, I just think the timing of it, the execution of it(well, once it happens), the forum bitching/posturing(USA already has started) and then the necessary fixes after it's done all stink. If there's one thing GLB taught me it's to not think Bort will get anything right the first time. For the king of the hill league, that just smells very very bad
the idea of planning day to day is what you will find is USAPL...im sorry to be like that...but its just straight up the truth....i personally think its time for teams like ESL and Bandar to put their money where their mouth is...so many times i hear i want to concentrate on league play and not put my heart into a tourney...well...the world league is certainly the time to do that as that will be your league...if its short lived...oh well...im sorry to see a dynasty like them die but it happens day to day in GLB...teams fold...new ones are formed...certainly havent seen the talent fall in GLB I can honestly say from being part of the rankings committee...
as far as forums are concerned...i really dont find this forum to be much more entertaining than any other forum...and ive been a part of all of them except CPL...and i hate CPL's forum...
I like SEAPL and all...but if this is what it comes to...its what it comes to and you work through it and continue till your the best...the forums are around no matter what league you play in...however the dots only play in certain leagues...and the point is to be the best or your just here spending money...
I definitely hear what you are saying bhall. I think the WPL is a good idea. It's the fact that Bort is going to fuck it up somehow, and on top of that, myself(Not ESL) play this game for the forums MUCH more than the dots. I also think Bort should be working on the decline, not something like this. It's not so much the WPL, it's I have no faith in Bort's ability to add things to this game without fucking up.
My posts in this thread also are purely how I feel, not the Tire FIres. To the best of my knowledge, Plank and Rusty are pumped about the WPL and excited about it. I personally feel this forum has been better than any other, check my other teams league forums and how often I post in them.
WPL isn't going to add anything for me enjoyment wise in GLB. So it's not like i'm going to quit because it's added, but it's not going to make me want to stay in GLB either. Just because you play this game for a certain reason doesn't mean everyone has to.
