HAHA
Salty
PORN
EEA
No Name
really need to all play each other. I'd add Bloody but they got matchups with Salty and EEA already.
No Name has literally played one Seasoned team in ladder so far - and that was against the bottom of the barrel in terms of teams (first ladder game of the season). Outside of the WotW/Marvel/Miami/AK ladder games, it has not been particularly fun or exciting. At least today we get a pretty good team in Sunderland in a matchup that could go either way.That's a good point and it's something we have clamored for in the past, but there were always detractors.

There is no bonus for Porn if we finish the season at #1 and 20 spots ahead of everyone else, because we all start the same next season. The only thing that matters is tier trophies when it comes to ladder and those trophies should be decided by the top teams playing each other at least once.
Does that mean seasoned teams should never play journeyman? Absolutely not, but there should be some type of preference for same tier matchups when the ladder schedule is created.
