I need to clarify your position: do you believe that:

A. 1v1 and 2v2 ST leagues are equally prestigious?
B. that the hidden skill threshold required to be promoted to ST is equal between 1v1 and 2v2? Or
C. Both A and B

Will respond to the rest when you can clarify this for me.

I feel this question is mined. But I'll bite and go with C

Our win percentage was and is still high but we are at a level where we are all about equal at the top. Trust me when I say, it's like telling numbers 3,4, and 5 in the top 200 that the one that beats the others 4/5 or 9/10 is the one that will be promoted. Of course I can't know for sure but I've got 400 games experience that tells me that's about the case. MrBanger, it sounds like you're getting a taste of what I'm saying recently, from what I hear from you

What taste do you speak of?

I don't think anyone here is advocating arbitrary promotion for specific teams; rather we just want to improve the promotion system. I think this is confusing some people...they may think we are trying to unfairly promote ourselves.

The recent losses and tougher competition you spoke of.

How does "Worldfamous and GreatGonzales vs The World" sound? Or maybe, "Why Worldfamous and Great Gonzales should be Super Titans", oh no wait I've got it, "Down with MrBanger and Alexjiang!"

I just looked at my cue and realized that out of the 8 league games that were started vs Krogoth/Gurleyman, he declined 6. I'm tryin', I swears I am.
