How many of you are heading to Pro instead of Regional Pro?
Forum > Semi Pro Leagues > Going to PRO?
I have asked Support to try and make it happen for Evil Suppressors ... their reply was that it depends on the numbers of guts etc ....

I believe everyone goes to regional pro unless they ask to skip a league. I only asked because I've seen talk in forums about which pro league they want to get into and wonder why skip a league.

I think some teams feel that if they skip a league and go right to national pro, they have a good enough team to avoid being demoted. If you go to regional pro, there is the chance your team doesn't make the playoffs and than you don't get promoted.
they could be stuck in the limbo of regional pro for a long time.

There's 46 Regional Pro Elite playoff teams that are eligible to promote, and only 36 (32 auto-demotes, plus four CPUs) Pro slots available as of this writing, so a skip by a Semi-Pro team this season would need some stars to align.
I personally know of three teams that made the jump from Semi Pro to Nat Pro last season, but they jumped after seeing what was in store for them in Regional Pro. Robbnva is on the money when he notes that they would have been "stuck in the limbo of regional pro," and it's only going to get worse going forward.

If your not good enough to earn your way out of rPro, not good enough for pro.
not necessarily true, what if a team goes undefeated and lose in the playoffs.
that team is still good, they just had a bad game.

Just giving you some insight into the jump. If you have an elite roster i'd say go to reg. pro.
The s25 elite semipro teams mostly made the jump, one team went WL the first season, a few made play-offs but most just didn't do well at all.
My team, Laos Chaos made the jump and in 2 seasons just made WL.
Its good experience and to me a season off because the demoting WL teams have the best shot to win
Just my 2 cents

The Washington Extreme skipped. If you can do it, you should. Recruiting is a shit load easier.

PWNED is right. In reg. Pro you won't have an easy time getting top of the line dots. If you do fairly good in your first season its even easier

having tried to recruit a highly recruited dot by someone I am friends with, I got denied because I was only going to be in regional pro...
the way it works is if there are a bunch of CPU teams after the shuffle in National Pro, I am pretty sure you can ask to move up. Than once you do that just try not to finish in the bottom 2 so you don't get demoted back down (clarification, is that what happens? I assume so but I don't know for sure)
I may make the leap

Yeah, half decent dots want a shot at WL so that means starting at the Nat. Pro level and moving up or going for WL teams.
Not many dots will consider joining a reg. pro team..
Also like robbnva said, don't finish in the bottom 2 because you will be demoted
