One day I realized that sadness is just another word for not enough coffee.
I would say there needs to be at least 15-16 interested players?

I can help with management stuff and I'll play on godking desu, who is at 4.1k.

No intention of being captain though. I remember the last time I captained for IHL I just drafted all my favorite waifus. Pretty sure we lost.

And before we get the "BU BU BU ANBOKR MUMBLEGAF N ALL THE GOOD PLAYRS JUST GUNA STAK AND STOMP ME," no, with the format we have in mind, all the "good" players will be taken in the first round of the draft and spread around. It's just like an NBA/NFL draft in the sense that one team can't just draft 1,2,3,4 players straight off their tier list.

Hypothetically, one captain might have done some good scouting and put together a solid sleeper team, and maybe another drafted all his lower mmr buddies for fun, but hey, that's just down to individual captains. Teams will change season to season, but I think it's more fun to have one team/identity that you practice and play with for the "season."

With the way I want this to work, we're going to need 28-40ish sign ups minimum.

How do we prevent Shuggananas, I mean Emberspirit, I mean Meeru from playing? Or is that the secret goal every captain is given if you find Meeru you get an automatic seat to the grand finals?

He assumed I was the SK. I can't have people thinking I support that bad. I need them to know when I play support. I support!

Having solid teams has always been my favorite. I really liked that about HONIHL1.

It does solve the drafting issue but there will be attendance problems.

One of the constraints for team formation should be active times.

It was funny last night but now it's kind of grating.

This is the equivalent of all chat rage. Keep it in team please.

If there is enough interest for a legit ihl2, I say we pretty much just copy rd2l but for gaf, so:

*everyone signs up
*depending on number of signups, we get a group of captains (min 3.5k mmr+)
*inhouse period where ppl just play with each other and get a feel for everyone playing
*captains' draft players (teams of 7-8), ideally everyone should be drafted (if enough captains)
*scrim period
*actual season - teams required to play one bo2 (captain's mode) per week (predetermined schedule for who is facing who), captains free to schedule the game anytime fri-sun
*playoff season

GG, good format for some peeps that want to dig into some captain's mode with other gaffers.

The spreadsheet isn't difficult, I can do it swift if there's enough interest and enough people actually sign up. Spreadsheet will just be for players/questionnaire (i.e. steam id, mmr bracket, preferred role, dotabuff etc...)--making it easier to keep track of players and for captains to draft. ideally we get an amateur league ticket so people can see the stats for fun on dotabuff.

also get on steam u fuck

Sounds good. Where do we sign up?

No, Drow was too busy feeding and building shit items she couldn't farm with, because you can sure as hell stack camps remotely with an S&Y. Nobody was taking the farm I took, so I took it. Farm wins games, and would have won this one.

the fact that she finished SnY instead of Manta or BKB vs an Orchid QoP really says everything that needed to be said about that Drow.

Hence why teams will consist of 7-8 people and 'official' games will be constrained to fri-sun. This first season would be an experiment to see how many captains are actually able to schedule times in a decent manner. If it becomes too hard to schedule, we'll just set 1 or 2 days at most and a 3-4 hour play period to make it a little more strict.

There was no need for you to post a dotabuff and talk about some unnamed gaffer. You two had a disagreement about a game where you two were clearly frustrated. Learn to let some shit go.

I was gathering input on the game. He was the one that made shit hit the fan and decided to block me over it. I'm ready to let it go. He's not though.

So what happens if over 5 players on a team are able to play a game? Captain chooses who to use? I don't think that'll happen often but it might lead to lower skill players on a team never getting to play.

Captain will choose and be encouraged to rotate players (i.e. a captain who never rotates players if the same 5 show every week won't be chosen to captain next season).
