I think a randomised low mid tier tourney would work way better cause then ppl can't stack teams and it's easier for new players to participate in since they don't need to be in a team in order to play
u could also have stronger mid tier players be captains or have it so each team has 1-2 strong players
For some reason, Koko registered half of the players from "Animals" - no one noticed it, and such a team was not banned or canceled.
The same applies to SF1. The team consisted of players from the First League - there were three of them. And such a team was allowed. I am shocked.
Being in a good team doesn't automatically mean you are too good to play a low-mid tier tourney. There's a lot of l1 teams that have weak players that are there just to bench and fill up the roster
I disagree.
1.
You have a captain with many years of experience, who is also allowed to play, and not banned - which is nonsense.
On this, being in a strong first league team, being under the care, supervision of a strong captain - you can no longer be considered a "weak or average player". If you are in the team of the first league, even as a substitute. Do you think they will call just anyone to the first league team? Of course not.
2.
The teams in league 1 play every week against similarly strong teams in league 1 and they get training, experience, skill, knowledge. The other participants of this tournament do not play so many practice matches, and do not play against the best teams every day. You have the advantage that playing every day against the best teams, being in the best team, you get an advantage over the other players in the form of: experience, skill, knowledge.
Therefore, in my opinion, being on a League 1 team makes you stronger than almost any player with a "weak or average" status, or even a "rookie" status.
Virtually any player on your team is stronger than almost any player on any team in this tournament. The same goes for Team Koko, SF1 and Renessainse.
