[quote author=MassVC link=topic=504.msg4835#msg4835 date=1317506547]It is true that there won&#039;t be the possibility of incredible game-of-the-century upsets, but that possibility is not worth the trade-off.&nbsp; If Summer 2010 BBC beats DMR 99/100 games, the awesomeness of that 1 game does not make up for the unfair and boring shittiness of the other 99 games.&nbsp; I would rather mix up the teams and watch or play in 100 good games whether I was on DMR or BBC.[/quote]<br /><br />This is just basic human psychology, you feel losses, especially bad losses, much harder than big wins.&nbsp; So if you win 5-0, that doesn&#039;t quite make up for losing 5-0.&nbsp; People have much more fun winning and losing in a close match.&nbsp; If you win 5-0 in 3 minutes, it&#039;s kinda meh, and doesn&#039;t impact you much.&nbsp; If you go back and forth fighting over 3 rounds then win the final round 5-4, you really feel it.&nbsp; Even in games like that where I lose the final round 5-4, I usually feel good about it because I know it was so close and hard fought that with a bit of luck it or some slight changes in the future it could go the other way.&nbsp; When you lose 5-0 your reaction is, FUCK ME THIS SUCKS XEN RAGAJEJA!@#%!%K<br /><br />[quote author=MassVC link=topic=504.msg4835#msg4835 date=1317506547]Just as DMR does not have any fun losing to BBC, BBC should not have any fun winning against DMR.<br />[/quote]<br /><br />I think I know what you are trying to say here but this sentence is confusing as fuck.&nbsp; It goes back to what I just said above, really lop sided matches just don&#039;t impact anyone and aren&#039;t much fun.&nbsp; Look at this match [url=http://www.intldoomleague.org/stats/games/63]http://www.intldoomleague.org/stats/games/63[/url] where SUC destroyed EBL in W2010.&nbsp; It was a blow out, I remember playing that match, I was on auto pilot and it flew by.&nbsp; The 2nd round went 4-0 in 1:39.&nbsp; We want to avoid future matches like this if we can.&nbsp; BTW looking back I&#039;m surprised it was that bad, the EBL team on paper looks decent.<br /><br />I honestly can&#039;t believe we are even arguing about parity.&nbsp; Who is against more parity?&nbsp; Just crazy miek?&nbsp; IDL ethos is ingrained with promoting and striving for parity, why is there a backlash against more now?&nbsp; I was not around for when the IDL formed but it seems to be me the basic idea was clans had a lack of parity so a draft league would fix that.
