Times a good team I have been part of has lost to a CPU team: 0

Times a bad team I have had a dot on has lost to a CPU team: A whole bunch.

so what is your point dahmandabynes

I wish CPU teams were better, tbh.

Morale of this story... there is no morale! Haaaa

God, genetics, parents, or whatever else you want to blame achieved that. The accumulated history of your posting and achievements merely proved it.

Stop embarrasing yourself with this absurd line of reasoning. We are part of the same species. We share the same basic genetic code. Assuming you're an American citizen, the God-given rights delineated in the Constitution apply to us both equally, as do the laws of the United States. We have equal standing in court. Your vote and my vote in elections count exactly the same. If there's an afterlife and we both qualify for salvation, we'll both go to the same heaven, and if we both do not qualify, we'll both go to the same hell. And as paying-members-in-good-standing of this website, we both have the right to fully participate in this game and in the accompanying forums.

We are equals. Whether you want to acknowledge it or not is irrelevant to this fact. We are equals.

And I'm not going to leave this game or quit posting in these forums just because you tell me not to. You've been telling me to stop posting in these forums for about as long as these forums have existed, and yet here I am still. You have absolutely no authority on such matters on this site, and the further you pretend that you do, the more you embarrass yourself.

Stop embarrassing yourself with this absurd line of reasoning. You only started harping on Elite being a prerequisite after getting numerous examples of "good" teams in Competitive being beaten by CPU teams. It won't happen in elite because there are rarely any CPU teams there, not because the teams are too good to lose. What you still don't understand after multiple explanations is that the reason for CPU victories has everything to do with fluky scaling results and not the quality of the opponent. That's why the same CPU team in question will lose to an awful human team while beating one of the better human teams in that league.

I haven't changed my standard. My challenge all along has been to find me an example of a CPU team beating a good team. You moved the goal posts by stretching the definition of "good team" beyond any credibility. When I called you on it and moved the goal posts back to where they were in the first place, you started accusing me of "moving the goal posts."

I get your explanation about fluky scaling results. I just don't think that's the only thing in play, or that it's nearly as important as you claim it is. That's why the closest you can come to meeting my challenge is that undefeated team in Competitive losing to a CPU. While somewhat rare, there are in-fact a handful of CPU teams in Elite leagues every season, leagues with teams even stronger than that undefeated Competitive team -- and yet none of those even-stronger teams ever seem to lose to CPU teams. If your "fluky scaling results" were so important in this equation, then wouldn't these top Elite teams be even more likely to lose to CPU teams? And yet they don't lose to CPU teams.

By the way, shall I assume that the fact that you keep rehashing this argument with me over and over again means that you still haven't been able to find me an example of a CPU team beating a good team? 'Coz that's sure what it looks like.

I'll grant you an exception, Dub J, because you are exceptional.

You not realizing stratification within species illustrates precisely the inferiority I'm talking about. Fortunately humans are blessed to live in a world where you can exist despite your limitations instead of being eaten.

I have never pretended that I had any authority to make you stop posting. I have merely posited the reality that you're an obnoxious poster with an extremely limited intellect that leads you to be constantly wrong and offer almost nothing of value at any point in your GLB existence. You had that one playoff post in the WL that I praised you for, and that's pretty much all you have to show for the last five years.

Yes, you most certainly have. You never mentioned anything about "elite" leagues until provided with numerous examples of successful teams losing to CPUs. Not once. You absolutely never mentioned "elite" as a qualification until after proven wrong with those examples. And as noted, the main reason it doesn't happen in elite is because elite rarely has any CPU teams. Because you are so mentally limited, you still don't grasp the concept of CPU scaling and how that can cause an undefeated team to lose to a CPU roster that got blown out by some truly bad human teams.

That's because you are a person who rationalizes failure instead of learning from it. When the same CPU team loses to a previously winless human team one game and beats a previously unbeaten human team the next, it isn't because the AIs got better or worse.

Actually many people including myself have given you numerous examples. You simply refuse to accept them and then change your definition of "good" each time something proves you wrong. No example would ever be good enough for you to admit that you're wrong because that's something you simply don't ever do.

Newsflash, jdbolick: we are equals. You're better than me at posting witty insults on the Internet. That does not make you inherently superior to me overall.

That undefeated team said they had set tags and used their normal AIs.

You're assuming that their tagging and AIs were any good in the first place. The fact that they were in Competitive and not in Elite suggests otherwise.

As I said before, being in Competitive means one of three things happened to that team the prior season: 1.) they weren't even on the playoff bubble in Elite and demoted down, 2.) they were mediocre in Competitive and neither promoted nor demoted, or 3.) they made the playoffs in Regular as a low seed, lost in the first round and promoted up to Competitive but not up to Elite. The same is true for all of their opponents in Competitive as well, which means they're playing a very weak schedule. And going 16-0 against a weak schedule means nothing; there are quite a few teams who dominate in Competitive leagues and get their asses kicked in Elite leagues.

So, no, being undefeated in Competitive means nothing. I would expect someone like you to have higher standards, jdbolick, but if you really want to be impressed by a team going undefeated against inferior competition, I guess that's your right. But I won't be so easily impressed.

Now, go find me an example of a good team getting beat by a CPU team, or GTFO. If this is such a major problem, you ought to be able to find me one example fairly easily. Go do it.

you aren't equals at playing this game, which is all that really matters in this particular forum

Or in life. The notion of "equality" is one of the most deeply misunderstood and misused in Western society.

Holy crap...I come in here to learn about the inner workings of the inherently evil CPU teams & it feels like I got stuck in the Looney Bin at an Ivy League school...can't you two just kiss and make up already? DAMN!!!
