watching the Pro League over on EU today was something I actually ended up looking forward to. I feel like I was one of the last ones that actually did. The new patch, at least in my eyes, did enable teams to actually play different comps. I was hoping to enjoy games that were not actually mirror matches, where teams utilized different classes and different comps, even if it was just one class that was different (oh how far we’ve come). And I think teamcomp wise today was actually one of the best days yet.
However, it was pretty apparent that none of the teams were practiced at all. None of the players played particularly well and it was pretty plain obvious most teams weren’t very practiced.
To top it off, oRNG decided to troll with a revenant build that lost them the games unfortunately. Usually, I would have really supported oRNG since they got screwed by the transfers to just play their games to have fun, with or without TS. But this is playing for money after all. They should at least try to win/do their best to win and not play with what feels like a mystic builds tournament. That was so disappointing to watch.
So tl/dr, Pro League in EU has gone down the kittenter. Noone even bothers to really try anymore.

Unpracticed teams will still rekt you.
Also, why is that experimenting or theorycrafting with a build using a major tourney as testing grounds considered as trolling?
a ventari hammer condi rev is not experimenting or theorycrafting, its them outright telling everyone they’re just here to play out the games for the prize money.

Your last sentence did not make sense. If you are going to play for the money then use a meta build?

I’m just playing the games for tage’s sake instead of him having to find a 3rd sub.
Otherwise I would have quit alltogether already
The only game we will play serious is most likely against super smash just to secure 6th

Preventing their team from dropping out of proleague and not getting any prize money basically.
We can’t reach 5th since we lost against GnR so even if we get to the same score it’s impossible. And we get the money regardless if we get into the relegation qualifier.

I understand that completely. I do not understand how mid season transfers are even allowed tbh.
Good luck in your future match and wherever you move on to. It was fun watching you on twitch.

Oh sorry, I just meant Pro Leauge of course. To me the money was never the goal it was just to get to win the whole thing including the lan obviously the bigger price money would be something but these sums we get placing 3rd and down is just

Honestly, I commend you for that. I can understand the situation you are in and I think it adds the overall bad air that’s surrounds EU proleague at the moment, which may have had its influence on the poor state the other teams were in.
I just think if he at least played towards a more synergetic build, even just changing his rune to something more in line with his trait/weapon choices, you guys would have actually had a shot to take a game if not the series off of TCG (or so I feel). Which doesn’t only speak for you but also for the poor state TCG was in. And that is where I feel it was a pretty poor effort from Farrorz, not only disrespecting his team and everything he as a proleague player should stand for.

Rom and Denshee were both not allowed to play against Orng. So the mid season transfer wasn’t allowed. It’s stated in the ESL Rules. But it doesn’t matter, it’s TCG man. ESL will officially change the rules, mid season, for them.
Proleague isn’t watchable anymore. 1 Game is out, no team is playing serious anymore. Everyone just play to net get kicked out, to get the season 2 money.
The viewer dropped from 9k at the start, to 1,5k for every monday and the meta is not changing at all. Mesmer ruled Season 1, and if you could stack classes, it would totally blow Season 2 too.

I’m sorry but even if it came down to the slightest possibility to beat TCG neither me, farror or tage wishes that for our former teammates, we did not depart on bad terms whatsoever so it’s not anything about disrespecting, we gain absolute nothing on beating TCG. (This is of course just hypothethically in case we would have even WON if we played it serious which none can say for certain)

So yeah. It’s over.
Stop making a fool of yourself and actually read the rules that was sent out for S2 and not S1. There is nothing stating what you are writing here
Hands down,nobody needs to wonder that the games seem so sluggish if nearly all of the involved players show their ’ I actually don’t care about this game-attitude’ that openly to viewers. Not to mention, that it wasn’t that exciting to watch in the past anyways.
I logged out of twitch after the second game because I couldn’t resist it any longer.
