I can with 100% certainty tell you that AIs etc are the reason that has no chance of happening. Pretty sure he has very little interest in figuring out what pixel is the best to have a certain player on to stop a certain offensive play.

To those people I would allow them the choice of moving out of that league so others can partake. Though anyone with a truly competitive spirit and knows wtf they are doing in GLB should be absolutely thrilled at that chance.


I don't doubt that top teams would look forward to it. But I also know just how reactionary internet folks are - and I doubt that the denizens of this game have changed greatly for the calmer over the years since testergate.

He should create players and open the builds, but given he knows the formulas for player interactions, a whole team would be a bad idea.

Unless Bort were to create a team that would be the end boss. Every season, Bort's team plays the number one team on the ladder at the end.

Those reactionary folks should thank their lucky stars as they are the same ones that are over in GLB1 claiming Bort has forgotten GLB1 even exists.

I've always had an idea of creating "challenge" teams, like around holidays, that are based on some holiday theme but are overpowered and giving special trophies to teams that beat them whenever they are available.

Oh my god the howls that would happen if a single Bort team existed, and if it narrowly won a close game in the playoffs. Think of how much modding would need to be done in that league forum, let alone GLB main...


The one cares? Besides, he'd probably just use his multi to play it like he always has.

You should allow people to +1 your posts.

Are you kidding? Bort's team would be the Glass Joe of GLB.

Bort trying with open builds would be the exact opposite I want to see happening. No thanks. What fun is that? That is like buying a game and playing with a walkthrough.

Plenty of good games have walkthroughs and tutorials...

In fact, GLB is literally the only one I have ever heard of to literally give you no instructions. If Bort stopped doing this and started manufacturing model rockets, I would invest heavily in a company that builds prosthetic hands.

Could you do this in GLB1 too plz with different themes? That would be absolutely outstanding.

Also, people are kidding themselves if they think Bort knows the optimal way to build players.

Just because he programmed the clusterfuck of a system doesn't mean he knows the exact day to switch training from intense to light and when to spend points and went to hold them, and what skills to training boost when and how far and all of the other obtuse crap that goes into building "WL caliber" dots.

I get the sense that Bort is not only bright, but also has either mild autism or Aspergers. He would fit in like a round peg.
