6v6 or 7v7 would be nice option for those teams interested.

at least 7 would be nice, other ladders ive been in with more players per team has been more competitive.

i guess there is a previous thread about this, just a wierd thread name, oh well.

ummmmm no ?

yes yes yes !

i know AP would love it

so why cant it be done, people that dont like it, dont play

my vote = no.

i dont understand why you guys care, just dont play then.

it's been proven more ladders thin the competition level, I don't want some nub 7v7 team out there thinking their hot stuff b/c they can't hang with the 5v5 competition....

kinda like the competition where every team i challenge is either no show or forfiets cause there not even a clan, and team with at least 7 players would probally take it a little more seriously

i vote yes they should put a poll up

So sign up for 7v7 and beat them. Or, if you can't beat them, then they deserve the position they are in, and aren't quite "nubs."

your reply surprises me especially coming from a supposed retired competition manager.

It's about teams that have large rosters so more players can get in. Subbing players isn't a good option being that the 1 map we play is so fast paced.

You of all people should know that only nubs shit on someones thread.

Hrm, not shitting on the thread, merely stating an opinion- and I didn't name names - I made a statement from a competitive player's aspect.

As a 'retiring' CM, I can tell you from experience - the one's who stray from the league formats are generally the less experienced teams - and as a result of creating more ladders, it lessens the amount of competition you have in an individual ladder, the more ladders = the less size of each ladder = less sense of accomplishment for reaching 1st rung... There's years of a proven 5v5 format working and being the ideal # in CS - larger numbers is merely an excuse to reach a ladder serious league players won't compete in because they are too busy practicing the league format.

Coming from the BF series, more ladders = more competition. More oppurtunities to refine you skills, and more players that are able to enjoy the game. The more players who learn to enjoy the game, the more players that will gravitate towards the bigger titles, eg 5v5.

You can't compare BF to CS:S competition - bf is a game that was taylored toward large amounts of players in a squad, the maps were outrageously huge, in CS this isn't the case.

But just for kicks, Let's have a look at BF, the largest bf ladder is 109 teams (technically players because it's a 1v1 ladder) There are 18 ladders in BF and the game has been out for years...

CS:S just came out and already has over 140 teams on one ladder and over 100 on another... There are only 3 ladders... Not 18. To open another ladder will spread out the competition which will adversely affect the enjoyment of 'being the best'. I strongly recommend against it, but to each his own - it's not my decision to make, I just hope whoever does make it looks at the history of newer games and the negative effects large amounts of variated ladders have on killing a game prematurely or at least in lessening the interest in TWL.

Variations of ladders, if even being considered should happen way down the line when interest decreases and you're looking for a change of pace...

So if there are other ladders, and the experienced teams only play 5v5, how is it less "accomplishment" by reaching #1. The clans you say you are losing to other ladders are "nub" teams. Cannon fodder, filler, stepping stones, what have you. So what is the problem if they aren't in 5v5, or have their own ladder?

I would love to see something bigger than 5 v 5...because...


I don't need a damn reason. Just because.
