Haha yeah we would never call it a newbie league, beginner league or summing like that.
The main idea:
I put myself in beginners shoes, get motivated to go pro but realize its gonna take years and years to even reach to the playoffs, it really wouldn't motivate me to compete seriously because of the level of competition is too high.
If the level of competition is even, it would motivate me to play and learn more and make it easier for me to gain glory. If I'm a newbie looking for tus and Random is looking for TUS, most likely I wouldn't want to give him free points (unless I pick hysteria)
I've no idea about the activity and the beginner league isn't a thing of the today (imo) because we need a lot more audience and interest from newer players to consider starting the league. We can't know about the activity unless we try it out.
If your not okay with it, we can try it as separate league, with more simplistic points system.
My main picture is the eSport scene and in order to reach there we need to reach more and more newer players each day and make it easier for them to start competing so one day they could see themselves with the "big boys"
About teaching the new players, I, for one am very interested of teaching newer players who seem motivated and ready to put in the time and I'm sure there's plenty of others like this also. You could even give a shout-out if you'd be ready to take someone as your apprentice.
