Not that it much matters at this point, but Tadow does have a game/set win, as we defeated JAM last Sunday in the first game.

[Cracker]

Same for SMILE, we defeated ball 1 game..

[darknietzsche]

Fixed, I had another admin update the challonge last week, he did it slightly incorrect, so actually everyone had points deducted, everyone should be fixed with their new scores.

Thanks for pointing it out!

[Threevenge]

So many critical matches this week: BBQ vs. Vlix, arr vs. t3c, JAM vs. Smile I think are key for positioning in the play-off brackets. Plus might even get to watch ball vs. Vlix when us t3c-ers are finished. I am pretty pumped, could be quite a bit of movement in the rankings.

[ragnorak727]

It might be that we cannot fit our game with Ball in until after sunday DN since they have three games already - we have yet to discuss with Ball but how much of a pain would it be for vlix - Ball to be played midweek?

[darknietzsche]

I may skip a week between regular season and playoffs so you guys should be fine.

I think I can speak on behalf of {ball} that we would really appreciate it if you did. 4 teams in one day (with the potential of 12 matches) is a bit much, and if we can postpone either Vlix or even Arr for another week, we'd appreciate it.

[darknietzsche]

I think the 3 regular rounds should take priority. Your make-up with vlix can wait.

He meant postpone 2 so we played 2 this week 2 next week, not postpone vlix OR arr.

[darknietzsche]

I dont personally care, but your opponents have to agree.

[mjolnir416]

Wimps. Grow some real {ball}s

Also, Your matches would be shorter if balln could figure out a lineup in less than half an hour...

[JWhatever]

Vlix 1-2 "BBQ"
Vlix 2-0 tadow

-J

[Xorg]

Smile 0-2 arr
Smile 2-0 JAM

[malkin]

Requesting that no more league matches are played in any clans' private server. Proleague and ladders are fine but private clan servers are a massive disadvantage for the away team.

[sunshineduck]

what kind of disadvantages?

[malkin]

Lag, not being used to the lag, having the ability to throttle connection, etc.

[angryirishman0]

TADOW < ZroG 0-2 (5-6, 3-6)
TADOW < Vlix 0-2 (0-6, 2-6)

lol why giving US teams this advantage of server then?
There are no EU "official" servers..

[Hollywood]

{ball} 99992-0 t3c
{ball} 1-2 [BBQ]

[leggomyeggo]

ball 2 - 0 t3c
t3c 2 - 0 arr
t3c 2 - 0 jam

ggs arr/jam, congrats to ball for winning the "#1 Bitchiest team in SL7" award. your whining and pissy mood was much appreciated. i lol'd a lot at the fact you thought we were trying to sneak in players. it was even better than watching forum drama.

Whereas APL might be all US, Ladder servers, which I guess you can classify as "official" are 2 EU and 2 US (once fixed anyway).

I would believe it. Your team has shmo. Period.

stop whining about our whining. You pulled off a successful troll, so be happy. You had to know that we'd be pissed about it, or you wouldn't have done it.

[Clapon]

what happened?

[Threevenge]

It backfired pretty hard on us by getting you guys pumped up. I wasn't big on the idea but it was original and I'm sure it'll lead to a new rule making it the only time teams have switched nicknames for league play.

t3c/bbq swapped names and tags. ball had a temper tantrum. hilarity ensued.

[Slender]

I'm sure people can associate pings+badges right? Right???

[Duck Duck Pwn]

jam 0-2 twisted
jam 0-2 smile
jam 0-2 t3c

good games

I'd expect it. Being that DN got ~50 different PMs today regarding this and is still in a bit of a mood hours later, I would anticipate a rule being in place for next SL.

Not the point.

ZeroG 2 - 0 Tadow
ZeroG 1 - 2 Twisted

It was a real pity we didn't get that last game against Twisted, but no matter, it was a good day for ZeroG.

Thanks for those who've been greatly helping and cheering on this team. Good games for ya at playoffs, and good luck for those who'll need it. :]

[BBQ] > Vlix (2-1)
[BBQ] > ball (2-1)

Suggestion: "At least half the team (3 players in both game modes) that plays in a game must have their clan's standard tag without other tags from clans of the same game mode."

Why not all the players actively playing? Refs don't allow football players to wear other team's jerseys or none at all, why not do the same for League play?

Because football players can change their shirt every 15 seconds. We can only change our names every 24 hours. You wanna be the dick admin that DQ'ed a team because someone was having fun last night? Have fun with that. I've seen several teams on their first game have just enough to have a sub.

[Radium]

because players changing their names is as much a travesty as having some frusty people make the translatino brrrrrrrrra instead of grrrrrrreat

[Duck Duck Pwn]

Rules on names are ****ing stupid. We know who people are, both due to the nature of the small community and due to knowing who is on each roster. We can punish after the fact if a team is cheating (heh we had BBQ play for us that'll show them!!!!). This is a complete non-issue. Please stop complaining about this; it's silly.

You do realize that behind the scenes, your so called "friends" don't actually do it just for fun... I personally don't care, but apparently my ballers found this act disturbing.
