The Europa Cup has ruined the league
Post Body

OK - I'm saying this now because in a few hours people might discredit it by saying "well you're only saying this because you won" - but this season had the closest league in history and until I remembered about the Europa Cup I thought we were in for a climactic final week.

The point of the league for me is it's about consistency - you need 7 weeks of good performances to win it. We've got 3 teams at the top on equal points which is very exciting, however none of it matters because now we need to play a knock-out tournament in a different game mode to decide who wins it.

I understand why the commissioners are doing it - to make people care about the Europa Cup - but if devaluing the league is what it takes to make people show up for the Europa Cup then I'm not sure it's worth it.

Anyway, I'm just rambling but I wanted to speak up now that I think the Europa Cup adding points has ruined what would otherwise be the most exciting finish to the regular season of ELTP ever.

I agree completely, in first place to me it makes little sense to mix Center flag and CTF on the same tournament, because it's almost like different games and it requires different skillsets, also I think center flag (while i love it on pubs) misses a lot of what makes competitive games fun. And I bet some people would have been drafted differently if it was to play center flag.

Should have opposed to it earlier I guess, but tbf it's my fault for not reading carefuly the rules lol
