Banger,

My bad, I thought you guys were having a hard time getting placed with those higher individuals.

If poweewee and joelduque were proclaimed the only super titans tomorrow, it would be perfectly analogous to the current 2v2 situation.

The top 200 list can't be announced because of how the profiles of random-matchup players work

I feel like people aren't reading what I'm saying. Let me put it this way:

Currently, 2v2 ST is more of a distinction and an honor than 1v1 ST.
Likewise, 1v1 ST is less of a distinction than 2v2 ST.

The reason is, the promotion threshold for 1v1 is more relaxed, relative to the population of 2v2 players. The proposal that I submit is that we should bring 2v2 to be consistent with the 1v1 standard, which would create a more vibrant 2v2 ST league.

I hope that helps.

Exactly

Not to mention the lack of distinction within masters. DieMFDie and my 8 yr old nephew were placed in masters. Try playing with an 8 yr old you can't communicate with. Such a huge range of skill in masters.

I disagree, I think it's a higher distinction because its harder to be good as a pair than as a single player. If the thresholds are currently the same as you suggest (and I think they probably are), that would support this theory. I still don't get this need for a "vibrant 2v2 ST league". You are all playing each other correct? Look how animated this discussion is. Seems plenty "vibrant" already to me.

Quote:League distribution is where we disagree. Like amofett, I believe ST should be a title/achievement for your hidden skill being above a certain threshold, not that we need to put a specific % of players in the ST league just because their aren't enough that got there.
The only solution I see to this, is OML putting a top - chart WITH hidden skill shown, or else who knows the difference between 2-3

Banger, I just do not see how you are still saying this after I have directly addressed these issues.

I believe 2v2 ST SHOULD be a distinction and an honor. It should be a distinction and an honor as much as it is for 1v1. Currently, 2v2 ST is a higher distinction than 1v1, and as a result there are only 2 STs for 2v2. This has very little utility, and thus we are proposing a correction to the system so it is more in line.

I actually think it's the same distinction. There just happens to be master teams not at that level yet, if translated to 1v1, from what is observed, there are only 2 individuals who would be ST

It depends on the context of a 'good pair'. I'm genuinely considering making a 2vs2 team with myself as theres no chance of anyone getting into ST without perfect communication.

Absolutely untrue. Stellar communication is required but not perfect as observed by Terence and awpertunity's record against us

No it wouldn't. Because you're saying the skill level between the tippy top master team and whoever is lower, us or G/K is the same difference between Joel and alvendor?
