CAL-invite Moveups/Movedowns

[entRo]

vapor, iwa/esT has always sucked at that level. They'll never stop sucking unless they go through a complete roster change.



If you don't like CAL's ruling, dont play. No one is forcing you to play for CAL, you're not paying for it, there's no prize at stake so why all the whining? This last year or so online play has become less and less important. I play in CAL-main for Sinister7, we scrim many times a day against CAL-m and CAL-i teams. If we lose, big deal as long as we tried. If CS was strictly online play, I, and probably many other players in higher ends of leagues would have quit by now. Scrimmages and matches can be fun but LAN tournaments are the only reason I continue playing.



Ironically I'm too young for CPL so bleh.

[vapor (v4p0r)]

well admins have volunteered there time.. no one forced them to sign up.. i expect them to do their job the best they possibly can.. yes lan is more important but how are you gonna prepare for lan if you are playing clans below your level?

[entRo]

vapor, just because they were in CAL-i does not mean that they are better then everyone in CAL-m. Plus, even if they were better than everyone in CAL-m, who says they can't scrim against CAL-i teams?



About the admins, I doubt it was just a few random admins who decided they should be moved down. I bet Frank Nuccio had a say in it, too. It was a judgement call, I'm sure they feel they made the right call so how can you say they're not doing their job correctly?



TSO will never be moved down as long as Speakeasy sponsors CAL with servers.

[dRage]

esT doesn't suck, if they wouldn't have entered CAL-i two weeks late they may have been able to make a nice run in the playoffs. So far, there has been no reason for esT's movedown, hell CAL won't even answer esT's PM's asking why they were moved down.

[russianmobster]

so basically they moved down all the teams that got moved up last year, and moved up some new teams? And why did v2m get moved down? what about TSO?!?! They won 2 games!!! (or something like that...a very low number anyway). I think the only reason they get to stick around is because they were once really good and won the CAL-I season.

[xlokix]

stop saying they cheated that was at the CPL .. at the cpl there is an age limit, in CAL there is none...this is cal rules...cpl disqualification has nothing to do with why d0f was moved down

[SinaC]

I thought the cal-m move up list was stupid, then comes this... wow.



Just join UGS, taking this fucking bullshit isn't worth it. How is it possible that LgD/tso/nerve/shock/wew/hell, even RIVAL don't get moved down, but est/d0f/exs do?



If you want to talk about roster changes, look at WEW. They lost at least 5 members, gained 15, lost 10. Rival added the population of China to their roster. TSO is about as active as my dead grandmother's anal passage, and almost as good at CS. Shock: THEY HAD A CHEATER AND NOW HAVE ABOUT AS MANY ORIGINAL MEMBERS AS 3D HAS ex-TSO MEMBERS. LgD: didn't they die? Or does CAL have to keep their minority quota up?



You move est down. I would love to see just ONE reason to move them down. They change their name? Oh God no, lets ban ksharp from CAL for changing his SKIN TONE! (not like that will ever happen) ExS has had the same members since the time of the dinosaurs, and they actually were looking somewhat decent last season(some of the time). As for d0f, I understand why you moved them down, but you already did enough to them. They had very, very little roster changes, the addition being a good one. They made a mistake, they took their punishment. Now you have to rape them with a strap on that has razor blades attached?



Just join UGS, I mean this is just sickening.

[entRo]

/me waits for SinaC to drop from his CAL-m team (you still in it?) and join UGS.



I think I'm going to be waiting a long time. :[

Again, you fail to realize that CAL isn't forcing you to play in their league. If d0f or anyone else that got moved down doesn't like it, so what? Did they pay to join CAL? Are they going to win anything in CAL? Are there any contracts? No, no, and no. They probably sacrificed time to get to that level, but how smart is it to go into a free league that anyone can join, with no contracts, no prize money, and expect that the league owes you something if anything at all?

You're right. Now here's the problem: I didn't say the sucked in general, I said they sucked at that level. iwa is basically esT, and I can't see esT doing any significant damage in CAL-i or on LAN against people of their "talent".

Looks like these guys get to enjoy a little peace and cal-m next season, har har har.

[Ghengis]

Rofl, cal-m, ure such a wag, lol

[vapor (v4p0r)]

Entro you fail to realize that no one forced them to become a cal admin. They volunteered to do the best job possible that they can and they are picking favorites and fucking teams over.

[InferNus69]

lets make a clan and win the champonship yay

[entRo]

Vapor, if you don't like it, don't play by their rules or in their league. Is that hard to comprehend?



My team just got moved down from CAL-m to CAL-im because we changed 3 of the 7 members for a different 3. I'm dissapointed, those 2 of those 3 weren't even starters, but I'm not whining because it's their league and they can do what they want. If they do something extreme and I feel it will cause me to whine like crazy, I'll quit CAL.
