And I won many tournaments for this game, but they weren't streamed or hosted on this website.

Why don't you use ESL?

It is impossible to know anything from your steam link. It doesn't show your ESL ranking, it doesn't show even how many hours you have in dow2...

You should enter way sooner next time. Your first post is 1 day before the original starting date :/
While the topic has been around for over 6 months! It's not easy for an organiser to just squeeze you in.
Just join in next time by entering on time.
In the meantime have the ESL app running whenever you play 1v1's.
The ELS app is useful for many things and for everyone. People can look up replays, see what your approximated skill level is and so on.

Grtz.

Hound wrote:Well, I was simply ignored. Anyway it was a shitty tournament, with shitty organizers.

So far I have not been presented with single valid evidence for being excluded.

My match history is completely fine, grudge match didnt happen.

Hound bought this game on steam, spent his money on it and then you tell him he cannot participate ? While, at the same time, letting other similarly skilled players in.

Letting player (who has raged while being defeated against by me in past) to decide whether I can or cannot play is fairly unprofessional.

let me pick just few ones:

I couldn't help but notice that a vast majority of those linked replays happened in 2016, with some in 2017. The only thing recent there were the Lacia games. So yeah, I didn't go through YEARS worth of history and just looked at like the first page or two.

This is beginning to convince me of the need to reset the ladder again.

@adila
I would love to join the elite league for replacement, unfortunately my VGA (Graphic Card) fried a few days ago and due to lack of budget i bought an old outdated VGA which is way more inferior to my previous card (my previous graphic card was a 5 year old ATI Radeon 6050 i think) hence it doesnt support dow2 as i want it to; my cpu is also an old AMD and not compatible to Nvidia (my current VGA) ; I can only watch replays now, i drop a lot of frame while playing. My screen is also 1080 so it makes it even worse cant bring the resolution down so i get more frames out of it.

Also bringing the qualities to to low didnt help since its still high resolution, and i cant bring the resolution down since it hurts my eyes since i am used to play with high resolution (1080) other than that my eyes hurt (tried playing low resolution didnt work, also hig res+low graphics didnt work still choppy&low frame)


All and all i cant join the league, but i will cover it in the casts ; 5-7 videos overall each 2 hour-ish plus 4-5 single videos (around 10-12 hrs of commentating)
for replacing asmon you can ask cyris,tex,crewfinity,mathis,bruce,stoned elf . i am sure they would love to play (would be nice to see stoned elf in a league tbf as main IG)

If this tournament is to settle the question of who is the top player in skill then lack of integrity or honor should not bar a player from entering.
Regardless of whether he deserves to occupy the top spot on the ladder, it's ridiculous to argue that he lacks the skill to compete.
Besides, the ruleset seems almost crafted to thwart his most aggregious sins (alleged) like CL abuse and dodging the competition so why not let him compete?

Because he'll just drop out and QQ after 3 losses in a row like he did before?

He has plenty of opportunities to fight good players anyway, but he dodges because he knows he will lose as he is not remotely top tier.

looks like agu joined the league,nice
buenos dias muchacho!

Why don't you host a tournament? Then you can make your own criteria.
See how long you keep people around who fuck shit up

Brave post oLev, it is not safe to say the truth in presence of god playing admIntronverts.

I joined tournament so that some players cannot dodge me anymore, and what is their approach ?
Not letting me into tournament, saying I am bad boy. Child could see that I am not the dodger here.

Of course, it is not about settling the question about who is the best player and presence alone of such player threatens microworld of self-proclaimed skillership.

arctic you should read the league rules you can only play 1 hero once that means you'd be able to win only 1 game at best

Anyone putting up 1500 smackaroos again???

Arctic you are banned for playing you own Account in the first place not of skill and you seem unreliable since you have the habbit to type unranked when you start loosing. Also this League allows you to play 1 Hero only 1 time per series and you like to play CL only. Fix the stuff above and you are fine.

On another note - How is season 2 going? Would it be possible to get a separate thread created for compiling each week's games? I have been watching each of Rostam/Indrid's casts as they come out, but I think it would be cool to see the running scoreboard and tally as the season progresses, and have links to the ESL log for each of the series so we don't just have to search through the files ourselves.

Well done at putting all of this together
