I know the Pro leagues have become so watered down it is pathetic. But how is it that teams can promote to the WL, but then win 0-2 games the next season? Especially when they keep 99% of the same roster? I know it has been talked about many times, but too many good teams are staying in Pro's too long when we have teams that clearly don't need to play in the WL. Are play in games just not the right answer?

Because I play in EEPro, I know of the Black Sea Sunami , and know they would easily be a .500+ team in the WL the past few seasons. It IS their own fault for not getting promoted, but think teams like theirs would add more to the WL than some that get promoted each season. For me it's just that games that go to the wire are so fun to watch...win or lose (granted when you lose one it sucks). There just has to be a better way to decide who the best teams in GLB are and put them together. I doubt they will ever change it, but damn, it would be nice...

Disagree, I like the play-ins. It adds drama and value to Pro League play.

And if you're keeping the same WL roster from one season to the next, you're doinitrong. There are always upgrades that can be made, no matter how good your roster is.

This, and how can you say BSS would easily be a .500 plus team?

Also, who decides who the best teams are?

I didn't mean same WL roster...same roster you promoted with...meaning you don't take the chem hit and you didn't have to replace people and maybe get lower players (which would explain losing games).

Coll that you disagree, but I disagree and like to see really good/close games every week!

If you can't win your conference in your pro league you don't game plan well...plain and simple. This means you would get eaten up in the WL scrub. Go back to your EEPL forum scrub and cry to them about your team sucking.

I say it about BSS because they play tons of tournaments and ranked scrimmages against a lot of good teams and win a lot of them. You can give me the whole lolscimmage thing all you want to, but we all know 80% of that is just talk...people like to win. Yes sometimes people just want breaks, and yes sometimes they coast...but just take a look at how many games BSS has won over the past 3 seasons. Maybe they are all "lolscrims" ranked/tournaments or not...but I highly doubt it and think they are a quality team...I bet there are plenty of other ones just like it or better too, that just get bad luck (like being in the same division as Alpine)...

Not crying, but why don't you just grow up or dont bother posting...your annoying. The teams I'm associated with do just fine so it's not about that...it's about my thoughts that a tougher WL would be fun. Kai is a good team, but I feel pretty confident had they been in Alpins league/conference last year...they would be playing in Pro again and we would have lost a valuable competitive team this season. I just like the good competition and think if we made the WL better it wouldn't hurt.

Solid point besides that a BSS team has been in WL and they failed

True..I don't think BSS is as good as they have been...but in s23 and s24 they were killer...I just used them as an example only because I know they can play...I also know there are probably 10 other teams just like that who dont get out of their league but probably should. I'm not advocating them, and it is their own fault they are still there...just using them as an example.

you're probably 10. Kai is 4-1, w/ the #1 D in the WL...your leg just got swept!!
