MOBAFire Tournaments

[quote=Diesel]Frankly, if I was to join one of these tourneys, I would hope to see higher level teams join the fray. You kinda gotta know what you're getting into when you attend public tourneys. Plus who doesn't like an underdog?[/quote]

[quote=Mooninites][quote=GrandmasterD] [quote=Mooninites] Sometimes it depresses me how stupid people are on this site. Congratulations members of Mobafire, you've essentially voted to kill the tournament for anyone of Plat/Diamond/Challenger level. [/quote] Pretty much. Also, isn't a tournament about deciding who is better? Why would you purposely exclude better people from it? [/quote] thank god someone else here can see the logical side anyway, I'm posting a blog about this and another topic because this idea just pissed me off so much[/quote]

[/quote] It's not ideal but you cannot exclude people because they are good. And how are you gonna draw the line huh? Individual skill? What if people just use smurfs then? Diamond people will complain about Challenger players. Platinum will complain about Diamond, etc. And there won't be nearly enough players to get a decent competition going in the higher ladders. That is, if you make separate tournaments.[/quote]

[quote=jhoijhoi]MobaFire tournaments are meant to be amateur. You don't see pee-wee soccer kids playing against David Beckham. It's the same idea here.[/quote]

[/quote] Then what's the line? Platinum? Can I join then because I'm Gold now? It's a tournament of MOBAFire and the rules state that if you're a member that you can join not that you have to be an amateur. It'd be ridiculous to say no to certain individuals because they are good. If David Beckham would be allowed to play with the pee-wee soccer kids, he could compete against them too. He just can't play with them because of his age, not because of his skill.[/quote]

[quote=Wayne3100]@ GMD I wasn't trying to say I agree with the decision that was made, I simply answered your question as to why people would be excluded to begin with. Some of the things you mentioned (such as using smurfs) have been discussed in that thread or others about the same topic though.[/quote]
