It's not exactly the cancer of GTM when two very large tournaments currently on-going (SoG and GTMRW) are IRL.

The last thing we need is another IRL tournament. It's literally the cancer killing GTM.

Is that why its one of the most played metas currently and has brought in a group of new users? Nevermind that some of the biggest tournaments currently going on are IRL, too.

We don't need less IRL tournaments, we just need more of everything else. Which is why i'm running an unrealistic HW Ironforge tournament. Let the IRL people do their thing while the rest of us play properly.

I hate retooled with a passion.
I've submitted a proposal going back to the original Chinese Whispers theme. DSL HW

1. What Conraaa said
2. Who is anyone to dictate how people play? If there is demand, which there clearly is, there shouldn't be people angry at tournaments happening. I honestly think the more people are interested in a meta, the more tournaments will happen just proportionally. The fact there are few dsl-s or whatever tournaments reflects the general lack of interest from the majority.

People need to stop complaining about IRL. We've had this whinging for 3 years, possibly more, and IRL is not dying out any time soon. If you wish to support a meta, do a tournament for it or keep quiet with the complaints please because you won't change the majority's favorite meta by simple persuasion. Personally I find DSL-S obtuse and hard to get into, so i went to IRL and never came back, although i am not a good irl builder by any stretch of the imagination.

I'd have to agree.

The fact that there are exactly two decent IRL tournaments out of all the ones we have merely proves my point.

The fact that LRA2 feels the need to defend his favorite meta merely proves my point.

You don't like how there's many DSL IRL tournaments going on? Make a tournament yourself that doesn't have IRL. It is not that we need less IRL tournaments, like someone said, we need MORE of everything else. Get off your f***ing high horse and proclaiming IRL is the "cancer" of GTM, when in actuality, it really isn't. If anything, it's helped a rather dead site grow further.

"lol someone who is super-hated likes irl that automatically proves my point lolololoololol" F*** off with that mentality.

There's no point in this discussion. If anyone continues it, I will see it as flame bait.

@Any prospective host, do whatever you want and @everyone else, join whatever you like and ignore whatever you don't.

DeadGenocide · « **Reply #1054 on:** December 18, 2016, 09:42:47 AM »

I should probably run a tournament where everything in RA2CF is allowed for sh**s and giggles

Jammy Dodger · « **Reply #1055 on:** January 09, 2017, 06:54:00 AM »

I've had a idea for a tourney after i do my first... Goodbye DSL 2.1

RULES!
DSL 2.1 DSL S HW (399-800)

No RA2CF or any of that stuff

You cant use stuff that was made after DSL 2.2 came out so DSC's pack isnt allowed

Entry's would be Unlimited

No re-entrys
Does this sound like a good idea?

Nobody (at least in my opinion) uses DSL 2.1 Anymore. Do you mean 2.2 where you can only use 2.1 parts?

Edit: Also, according to rules, you cannot have more than 16 people in your first 3 tourney (16 each tourney)

no i dont mean DSL 2.2 at all but its a good idea just that most stuff in DSL 2.2 is either weaker and stronger like the axes :/

...So? I don't see the appeal of using one unbalanced version instead of another.

This tournament is just to appeal to Ty4er... I'm sorry, Ty4er. It's probably time to let it go, son
