    Discussion SV OU Tiering Discussion

    I always hear that there isn’t enough support for a Tera blast test, and yet I always hear people wanting a Tera blast test, and yet we’ve never done a Tera blast test in OU. If people truly believe it doesn’t have the support to ban it, why not just do it then and put a lid on it for the rest...

    Proposal Regarding Puerto Rico’s Eligibility for WCOP

    From what I understand, in following how the rules were created/modified over the years, culturally eligibility (or lack thereof) applies to the individual. It got very messy with people trying to claim they were culturally more xyz. It makes sense to restrict that on an individual basis...

    Proposal Regarding Puerto Rico’s Eligibility for WCOP

    Puerto Rico is part of Latin America. As in, it’s quite literally located and classified as being in Latin America. So, logically speaking, if there is a Latin America team, they should be allowed to play for it. It’s really not that complicated guys. If they can’t play for Latin America then...

    Proposal Getting our money's worth

    I did see that there were OST videos, I didn't mean to imply the only videos were about SPL/SCL and I'm sorry if it came off like that. My point though is that a lot of the focus does indeed go to SPL/SCL. I agree that the videos definitely helped the views - but a little more focus pre-season...

    Proposal Getting our money's worth

    I think Mason's post is spot on but I just wanted to note something about media coverage that I have noticed here. First off, I think the media team has done a great job, and I think Mason is a one of a kind individual. The coverage for SPL and SCL is indeed great and makes it significantly...
