As you all know, the second Hawken TPG season is upcoming (original thread here: https://community.pl...ber-14th-start/).

Some interest has been showed in creating a B-league, given that enough lower level teams can be created. I'm sure that I can't be the only person between 1600 and 2k+ mmr that's interested in some competitive play, so here's a thread to gauge interest and let people try and form some teams, the more the merrier (don't be shy!).

CLARIFICATION: The existence of a "B-league" is dependent on enough teams signing up, there is no intent to get rid or (nor diminish) the competitive scene present last season. Should enough teams sign up to field two leagues, this will most likely consist of an "open" and an "invite only" league (information courtesy of Nept). So, sign up!

IMPORTANT: This thread is not officially TPG sanctioned. For any official TPG news etc, please direct your attention to Nept and the original thread about this season's TPG (link at top of this post).

Thank you.
Another edit (sorry): It is probably worth noting that teams signing up may have to face some stiff competition if there isn't enough interest to create a "B-league". I think that even if that does end up being the case, you should still sign up. Playing against better players and teams is one of the best ways to improve, and I believe that the more people involved in this event, the better the community will be for it. Over and out. (for now)

I'm interested in this, though I might not be available for a few months this upcoming year. I'm not sure how much of an effect that would have on my ability to participate in a team.

Yeah, but dude, we are at 1750. As much as we would like to be Professional Yolodrivers like you [Meraple] and Lightangel112, we're not there yet. It's something to aspire to, sure, but there's a lot of ground to cover.

This would be good fun, our team tops at 1700MMR atm so joining the regular league would be a massacre for us.

Why is that? If your 'location' is up to date, you're certainly good enough to join the main league. Are there no slots left?

For reasons I have explained in the other thread, I'm not personally against this, there's just going to be buckets of derision headed your way if you do.

Then again, it's you Omega, so I'm sure you swim in it anyways.

If by it you mean a sea of his own warm urine, I would say you're really on to something there..

Omega, the one man team.

As long as he doesn't stack there shouldn't be that much of a problem.

I don't think I am that good, but thanks for the complement. I just felt that the Upper league was too much personally. Though it was a lot of fun.

Approximately how many buckets of derision can I get if I stack a B-league team with Omega?

I mean, I don't think my teammates will be against this idea, but for real, there might not be any teams left for the A league (besides last year's top 4). But anyway. I'm very sure there will be a lot of teams that will sign up for this division.
