i'll have to try to avoid cam in tournaments because I don't really have any clue about pikachu and no real way to get pikachu practice. everyone else is going down though.

Looking back at people's comments about me being the Queen of Spades, as well as the silly PR image. I would like people to recognize that I'm actually, in fact, the King of Spades. But just call me Spade :p

Thank you for your time and support.

And bump.

The final tournament of the ASL season is coming up on the twenty eighth. It's that time of year again. Currently looking to create a panel for the next edition of the AL PR. I would propose a panel of myself, Luis, and Cam.

As much as I like seeing my name as the thread owner, I'm sure I'm going to have to give it up whether you decide on a merge or not.

As I stated on the social thread, a merge with a top 10 would be great. For reason cam stated above.

KY here. We did that with Indiana once! It was cool and really from my perspective up here y'all and Georgia are pretty much the same.

And also you'll have to commission me for more than last time if it's going to be top 15.

A lot of the players on both sides have stopped playing anyway. We lose Billy, Micaelis, 4GOD (though it's because of the the summer), Ragnarok, iPuff, and JMIX. At this point, I think a Top 15 is nothing more than making potential honorable mentions feel better about themselves. If you don't think you'd ever make a merged Top 10, and you're at least partly playing to get better, why else would you care? May as well make a list out of everyone that regularly goes to tournaments and call it a PR.

I thought we still had Micaelis, 4GOD, and Ragnarok.

I mean, off the top of my head, here's a bunch of strong players we have that probably deserve to be ranked or have a shot at being ranked after their recent tournament performance.

Micaelis
Player-1
BigLou
Kismet
Hero
MCPe
4GOD
DRN
AML
Player-3
Reflex
Ingulit
Cam
Spade
Elev8
Ragnarok
Ryker
George

Maybe I'm just blowing smoke here, but we have enough strong players for a top 15. And that's not just a list of people who regularly attend tournaments.

Yes, we could make a top 15 with potentially "strong" players....but we could make a combined top 10 with the best players.

I don't care about the best players though. Nor do I care about having a PR look strong for other parties. If you want our region to look strong, then travel and win.

I wan people who are trying to improve like Ty and Shark to have something They can point to as an achievable goal. It was my goal for a long time just to make top 10. I don't need that anymore, now I'm driven to start placing top 3 at events. I don't think anyone we have who could feasibly make even a top 15 AL/GA PR needs that motivator.

So again, I will ask, what do we gain?

I would like to take Resist the New World Order tourney name back(well i never gave it to anyone). I'm sure this isn't a problem. I just no longer play or support brawl(mobile's all melee execpt for 2) any longer. I have big plans for R.N.W.O. Thank you
Micaelis got a girlfriend and doesn't seem willing to go to anything outside of a convenient Salty Spitoon. 4GOD's been in Florida for at least a couple months.

Also, having more than fifteen legitimately good players does not at all justify putting fifteen people on a PR. Otherwise, it would be the norm. Our scene is small compared to most.

If you believe that, then you feel that the two PR lists currently serve no purpose, either.
Not in the realm of motivation, but I have been proven wrong. So I can accept the change. It wouldn't really motivate me anymore than I already am though. So it isn't the solution for me to attend more tournaments.

*doesn't want to attend tournaments because top 10 requirements just got tougher*

*Clearly doesn't want to set higher goals*

Are you talking to me? I will attend tournaments. I don't need a PR for me to honestly know if I'm better that someone. Some people like to have the pride recognition. For brawl, specifically(not other areas of my life), I really could careless about PR. Just wanted to make thing clear.

Who doesn't like to win. IMO winning is usually always better than losing. And if people stop attending tournaments, because they feel like they can't get PR'd anymore then we defiantly shouldn't do it.

Why would anyone want to go to tournaments for the sole purpose of being recognized? Aren't you supposed to enjoy the video games that you play?
