poll: playoff deadlines + worst playoff excuses

[DarkOne]

I also think that Playoffs need to be played faster.

well... why u dont play that last playoffs fast?
why u say "i cant play po now cuz i only play tel and TNL at the moment "
When i break "Hey zip...letz play playoffs deadline was fixed"
-.-"

Well, if you care about playoffs, why didn't you finish the playoffs when Random was there? (I guess this answers your first question)
Why did you leave for 2 months when you knew you had playoffs to play?
Why didn't you give any useful response when a clear deadline was set?
Why didn't you show up at this deadline?

Some questions, nobody can answer. For other questions, there's self-criticism

It's one thing to criticise, zippo (I just showed you it's really easy to do), but it's more useful (and more praise-worthy) to try to come with solutions, like most other posters in this thread are doing.

cuz i have others things to do than wait random for play playoffs.

[DarkOne]

Completely missing the point of my post there.

Tougher deadlines in my opinion. 1 week per series. If you don't complete the game, then your banned from the next months playoff.

By series do you mean the 1st series as in Quarter Finals, then 2nd series would be Semi Finals?

[Dub-c]

Ya. Even that seems like a lot to me.

Today the season winners receives more attention that the playoff guys.

yep, agree. ppl look at season number one and are like "omg he pwns" and no1 pays attention to who wins the playoffs lol

I think that comes down to the seasonal points being ordered before overall.

*BUMP*

the TEL playoffs are showing me once again that playoffs still take way too long
TEL playoff thread: https://www.tus-wa.com/forums/leagues-playoffs/tel-s1-crash/

a season lasts 60 days -> 20 days for each playoff round is enough time..
that's nearly 3 weeks to play at most 5 games per round.

January 1st - January 20th: all quarterfinals done by the 20th
January 20th - February 9th: both semifinals done by the 9th
February 9th - February 28th: both final and 3rd done by the 28th

it's February 13th, and you'd think they'd already be at the final, but no..
-> there's still a 1st round matchup that hasn't even come close to finishing (1st game was played today 44 days into the next season)
-> random is stuck at his semifinal spot because this above 1st round isn't finished.
-> crash is lazy again, holding up mablak. they're stuck at their semifinal matchup.


Sorry if I'm the only one bothered by this, but this is too relaxed. people not making the effort should be kicked out earlier. deadlines shouldn't be a mystery date in the future either.. they should be the same every season and strict so that whoever makes the most effort deserves to continue. at least do it for sake of closure -> so that the ultimate winner will be known by all at that strict final deadline at February 28. this way, the next playoff can start fresh. overlapping playoffs that finish at random times makes them feel way too unimportant.

You are totally right there, I definately support set deadlines for all Playoffs for all Leagues.

[SPW]

I agree to franz too. I dont understand how one can put effort and time in a season and after dont play the playoffs quickly. I dont have to tell any names cause its kind of obvious who's the brake here.

A deadline must coming, thats for sure.

overlapping playoffs that finish at random times makes them feel way too unimportant.

so damn true.

[Almog]

I think 2 weeks for each level (quarter/semi/final) is enough

[franz]

*BUMP*

Is there just not enough support to try these new rules?

Was hoping this could have been used for the upcoming playoffs starting tonight, but if not, I'm still going to keep defending this. Even if it's not used now, I'll campaign this for the next playoffs..

[DarkOne]

I'm all for it

I hope MonkeyIsland can give his input
