I mean i agree with you Ralphis I like the fact that there's lots of variety in the map pack I'm all for it and it's the reason why I don't like 31 and think it should just be thrown out. Not only does it emphasize singular player 1v1 skill but it does so in such a shitty manner that other maps have already perfected the concept of. Take bad moon, or generic gray, or ralphis's magical ice forts. All of these maps are maps that are frag heavy and focus more on how strong each player is in their position rather than how the team works as a singular unit. These maps pull off the concept that map31 tries to pull off much more effectively because they have A REASON for having flags in the map. Map31 has zero strategy, zero brain play, zero teamwork, and we already have lots of maps that flow just like it (Charon orbit, ralphis's magical ice forts, generic gray etc...) it's a fucking shit map not because I don't like the way it plays or the way it's laid out or it's ssg spawn mania, it's a shit map because it has no place in ctf, it's just tdm with flags and nothing more. At least map01 has some depth and complexity to it like flag pickups and deciding on whether to run out with just a shotgun or with a super shotgun depending on the situation, but map31 doesn't even have that. It's a boring uninteresting 10 minute piss break for most spectators and it's not just me complaining about it. Otherwise I do like the introduction of maps like toxic refineries II and bad moon they were fun and had new interesting game styles to try out, even if some might consider boring they brought something new to the wdl mappack(UNLIKE MAP31 COUGH).

Also zakken I change my mind 4 teams seems reasonable I had to think about it for a while but your points alongside ralphis's have convinced me.

Infer is technically new to the WDL, but he's been playing competitively for nearly as long as I have. He also played in the last IDL season's MasterBowl. I think the rookie of the year award should go to somebody who's actually relatively new to this side of competition, like Cartel or Razor. But either way is fine by me!

Cartel was around for much longer than I have been in the competitive ctf scene I only started after I joined a3 about a year ago (summer of 2016)

Franchising: nice bones doesn't know how to not draft kalfoxis shadowfox on his team and gets so upset that he didn't have a proper third that he wants the system to play to his rules horrible idea

Season map voting: yeah this is cool I'd support it nice

Expanding mappack: I don't think expanding the map pack is the issue here(while that's a good idea in my opinion) I think the bigger issue is the actual maps like Isolation was taken out in favor of Bad Moon and 31 IS STILL IN THE PACK WHY I think that adding more maps like bad moon are a great idea but they should replace maps that don't fit with the idea of TEAMWORK and COORDINATION because ctf is not supposed to be 3v3 tdm with a flag in each base COUGH 31 COUGH but rather a gamemode in which teamwork should play a bigger role than who has ammar and edd 300 frags blindfolded tier players on their team for Defence

5 player teams: I actually support denzoa's suggestion, the 4th player usually does just kinda sit there collecting dust most of the time I don't think that 4 ppl is necessary oh well ur teammate missed a match? Just reschedule like what literally every single other team did over the  quarterfinals and semifinals weeks

DEM vs BST

Rude has an ammar shield of mythical proportions and turSKA

Spoiler: show

can activate iddqd midgame https://youtu.be/MsnpKogDF-Q?t=70

meanwhile avc is making his debut as a professional Atlanta rapper giving dem the practice advantage as well as the ingame advantage. Dem takes it in 6 rounds 3-2-1(one is a tie)

TKV vs SUC

both maps are maps that tkv is comfortable playing with meanwhile SUC's only strength comes from their homefield which tkv has shown to be more than capable of playing on. TKV in 5 3-1-1(one tie)

TPT vs TKV

I don't mean to be a debbie downer but im saddened that we didn't find a diff homefield for us nonetheless I hope we can adapt and I feel very confident in the map08 matches as I think that Tai's wise experience on this map alongside d'sparil's clearing out mid fragging style with my super "im good at 08" style running will seal the deal. Not sure how either team sizes up on map02 but it will be interesting to see the match play out :) Also jake is TKV's power player for map08 and I don't see him being able to handle 3 positions at the same time. if he D's TKV's O power is weakened, if jake runs then their D is hampered.

TPT 3-2 tkv(6 rounds[one is a tie])

DEM vs GPS

On paper both of these teams look very evenly matched however my gut is telling me to go with DEM simply because of the fact that everybody on dem seems to just walk through everything I throw at them. And this isn't a personal complaint, I've talked to multiple people about this and they all agree with me that for some reason, Rude, turSKA and their merry gang take just a fraction of the damage that anyone else would take. Now on paper ignoring these ammar shields, GPS would seem to have the upper hand with overall player skill level and their map playing extremely well to Alt-Stab's strengths however I just don't see GPS being able to land shots consistently on DEM, and what would be a crucial save right before DEM captures the game winning flag could turn into a measly 15 dmg shot from point blank, letting DEM walk flag after flag into their own base.

DEM 3-2 GPS

TKV VS DEM

game of the week in my opinion DEM has godmode turned on for them and TKV pulled the upset against BST's best lineup if i had to guess I'd say that it depends on my man bill's wifi If he decides to sit down and play at taco bell and get dropped shots every 3 seconds then DEM would easily sweep them under the rug but if TKV fields infer instead to outsmart Rude's defensive plays then TKV would take it. I'm leaning more to TKV

TKV 2-1 DEM

SXP vs SUC

Dranzer threw on my team to end up not winning against us and suc is back baby

SUC 2-0 SXP

GPS vs BST

Very tough matchup as well close to Game of the week material because gps has denzoa who walks through everything but all the other gps players are sitting ducks if BST ends up practicing a little more this season then they could easily take this 2-0

BST 2-0-1(its a tie) GPS

TPT vs HYP

I was sick this week and couldn't play up to par but I'm sure that I'll be back in action by next week also TMD was a legendary player

TPT 2-0 HYP

gps vs hyp

gps just goes through everything they are DEM 2.0 in this league and dragon loses his temper too

gps 2-0 hyp

sxp vs tpt

wheelchair matchup im giving up because tai was at a furry convention and d'sparil is praying

sxp 2-0 tpt

Suc vs dem

Dem just goes throuhg everything and suc has shown themselves to not be as strong of a team as everyone had hyped them up to be with that loss to tkv

dem 2-1 suc

tkv vs bst

avc gets mad that no one cares about him and goes to home depot leaving cab to field dastan and cartel, tkv could pull an upset win but its unlikely unless they really practice their balls off

bst 2-1 tkv

Bst 2-0 hyp(war torn and decay are new :( )

Suc vs TKV game of the week I think suc will take it because you don't need a mid on this map so just throw jwar d Ralph o and u win

 suc 2-1 TKV

Sxp vs dem too bad rude will just never die due to the power of wifi and Turska is on a totally diff continent European perrondon

 dem 2-0 sxp

TPT vs gps

It depends I am now a good doom runner so if dee sparil can clear mid everytime I step outside the base then we can take it unless tai leaves d

TPT 2-1 gps
