Because you, Nastay, Yowza, Pizza, and his crew aren't already dividing the bracket by treating people like shit?
Whether you believe it or not we have been discussing this issue heavily over the last week. Fird,Nasty, and myself have all come to the consensus that this
is a problem, that it needs to be addressed, and that is going to require constant time and effort to remedy. Between the article and skype discussion these issues should all be put into light.
Just to set the record straight, this bracket wouldn't exist right now if it weren't for the efforts of Daksa and Luplis in organizing and building a base for 29s on Ursin. You wouldn't have the ability to grab your friends and queue up with your shitty attitudes that cause people to quit the bracket
I can see how my post may have seemed very ungrateful, and let me clarify as to why. In the article that is being released there is a shoutout/props given to Daks and Lup for building this foundation that we stand upon known as the 29 bracket. I did not mean to seem as if I was taking it for granted, all of whats been said this week has kind of mushed together and I see now how demeaning this seems. Honestly this wasn't my intention.
when you jump on them like a pack of hyenas over silly little mistakes.
This is one of the issues I hope we can get to in the Skype call tonight. There is a middle ground to be reached that I hope everyone will be okay with.
What we envision for the bracket is a place for people to queue up and have a good time with friends, not this 'you must play perfectly or suffer the wrath of Derv and Co' environment you drag around with you like a dirty stuffy toy.
I'm glad that you have a vision as to where you would like to take/see the bracket go, but unfortunately it doesn't look in the cards that is entirely what is going to happen. I honestly would like to find a mid ground because it would do those who have put so much work into the bracket so much injustice for the massive amount of time and effort (I can only imagine) they have put in.
Although I do not deny ever have this attitude, mine has changed over the last little while as things have been put in perspective with not having a bracket that you can constantly get queues for. It makes those game that we do that much more special and is the main reason as to why my previously unbudging elitist attitude has started to shift slightly to help benefit all. Neither side of this topic is going to get 100% their way, we need to come to an agreement and compromise.
When I said "Leave setting up WSG to..." I was merely saying that setting team balance should be left up to some of us who do not just take into account class balance but also personal skill(which is perfectly and extremely relevant). We make teams to try and make the best balance possible because at the end of the day, getting rolled or rolling becomes boring fast. As much as you wont believe me, we filter out (with our 3+ Council rule) anything but our unbiased objective opinions. It is in the best interest of everyone playing that the highest level of balance is achieved, we will have hiccups, but we also have the drive to move past them and make better decisions.

At some point you are going to have to let the bird take flight. Be hopeful and confident that the values and lessons which have been instilled upon this metaphoric bird (the 29 bracket) will hold true and allow it to succeed and progress.
It is not going to do any good fending off persons who are willing to contribute in building something great upon the solid foundation that has been laid by Ursin. I know we have some bad blood but I hope that that will not get in the way of this brackets progression and growth. It has massive potential and I along with many others wish to take a better crack at it than we have in the past.
P.S. Putting "- The 29 Bracket" after my last post was wrong, I admit that. It was a short sight on my part and wasn't meant to be malicious or condescending in any way. My sincerest apologies.
