#28, all 5 teams from ur list to div1!

some viagra and he'll perform just fine :p

Depends if Hagge is able to perform or not.

I can't see blt winning div2. Sd2 will win followed by dc, fu (depending on lineup) and blt. But who knows, maybe it's time for Chosen this season? ;)

I think you forgot me kapo? The biggest star in div2 8(

Well it's multiple problems.
A lot of div1 players stopped playing. And a lot of those players are spread out over many teams, that makes each team short 1-2 player and unable to play. And they dont wanna pickup div2 players cause they know they wont be able to compete in div1 with teams like fom created and other teams have to stack up to keep up.

So they disband, and join div2 teams for relaxation and some action or retire - essentially leaving the arms race of div1.

So as I said before the season, I would like to see a lot more teams in div1. like 12 teams. Sure there are 3-4 favourite teams, but then there are 9 other teams that would have good and tight games.

Perhaps those other 9 teams would actually pick up those free div1 players and improve, that would be nice.

But it's hard for admins to "pick the future victims" from div2 pool and watch the whine fest begin :D

But that's how I would have preferred it anyhow.

In any case, we should start another smackdown tournament with groups. Completely different format from EQL.

5 teams per group, top 2 to playoffs A, next 2 to playoffs B, and last out. Put teams in groups by seeding. like 1 div1 in each, fillup with div2/3 teams for rest.

Perfect combo - each division play within their own division in eql, but play mixed games in smackdown :)

max_power well its not my fault you're not ready for div2 lol

The thing is, there doesn't seem to be a plan for div1 at all. Admins just decide what teams are div1 and just bunch them together, this season we got 5 teams, if no new teams are made for next season we might have 4 teams if one drops out. Since div2 teams cant compete and if admins dont even decide to move the winner of div2 up to div1 then that just shows what the future holds for div1. I don't see the point in this at all, who wants to see 5 teams in div1 play eachother 3 teams or more a season? It's just ridiculous, if you take other popular games as an example the topteams are rarely seen playing eachother other than tournaments where they at most play eachother once, or twice at most.

You might as well call it Swedish and Finnish Championships (div1/2)

kapo, i played against you and i know how good you are, guys. Now you have Medar in your lineup. Iirc, he used to play in div1 team.

max_power: have you even bothered to have a look at the lineups other clans have before you come here guns blazing claiming that div2 is way too ez for blt? Player: well... ofc it isnt with players like moje, kloze, diki, kassim, rkd or ok98 in it...

i could create a 2-3 div1 clan from players who signed up to div2...

BLT for div1 and stop whining!

Btw max_power, what do you even care? You ain't even in any team and yet you are the only one whining... Sense, makes none :D Martin: I honestly think that the gap is just too big to close, if it hasn't changed for a bit in years, how could it be changed all of a sudden in a season or two. It's just that div1 is nowdays a div0, div2 is just div2.

i dont think div2 will be an easy ride for blt against theese clans.

Admins try to do their job best yhey can I hope. Its just hard to cater for everyone's needs.
With huge div2 I still vote for 4 divs system though. That would be a better solution imho

nitram, well said. I just looked at div1, and omfg, 5 teams :) Gonna be a busy season for them, ahah.

"We sure aint gonna win it this time :D"
Sure you will win and play next season in div2, you freeriders :P

Well people talk about how the current div2 teams would perform against div1 teams and so on, ever thought about ACTUALLY changing this and trying to close the gap?

I don't see how packing 16 teams in div2 and 5 teams in div1 would be a solution to this, the gap will just get bigger and bigger like how it all started years ago. I can go back 7 years when most starplayers of today played in div2, div2 was actually div1,5 back in those days, most of those teams could even make a decent result against the actual topteams of that time. Nowadays, I dunno, div2 seems to just serve one purpose, and that is some sort of retirement home for the lazy.

I think it's alright - div1 is like elite division, should be tons of great games there...

Yeah, I'd bet one of these: dc, ssc or sd2... We sure aint gonna win it this time :D

lastentarha was the only clan able to give you a good fight, since they had uberskilled Scenic and other players were good as well. And now div2 winner is already decided, good job.

16+11=27/3=9
div2/3/4: 9 teams in each.

IMHO.

OMG, div2 16 teams!

About Misters: few days ago Opel (team leader) said me about this situation: they will play without xpr in div3, but not in div2 with xpr.
Anyway I'll ask Opel again.

We decided to keep div1 for the absolute top clans this time.

There are enough div1 players still *around* to make a few more teams but other than that the rest of the teams arent good enough to compete. Its just a shame that so many div1 players have quit over the last 2-5 years.

Everyone can see the level of skill in div1, do you really really really believe that we (blt) would stand even a slightest of chance there? Would we come even close of winning ONE map? *NOT*. Ye sure we "outplayed" everyone last season for example by winning lastentarha in the final 3-2 and the last map by one frag :D We've all seen how top div2 clans make it in div1... fu, lastentarha, demolition crew etc... Just saying... :D

Tricky situation.. 5 teams in div1 _sucks_. Merging div1 and div2 would probably be nice in some way, but still suck since most div2 teams wont stand a chance, and it would be rapefest..

I would gladly play if I had the time :(

Just because a team is in the top of a division it doesnt automatically mean that they would stand a chance in a higher division.

Also, we dont use the system where the top teams automatically are moved up each season anymore. It just didnt work. We make new divisions each season based on the teams at hand and their best possible lineups.

No whine, just a question: Why isn't DC in div1?

BLT in div2 again? Have you seen the results of the last season?

And yeah, all the div1 free agents out there: As you can see there is plenty of space in div1 so just go ahead and sign up a dreamteam asap.
