Since there is no coverage for this Major Lustrian Challenge, I want to know if the reason of this is that

a) there are too many every the year and everybody thinks the effort is not worth it to write something about the Major or
b) all the reporters and journalists suddenly went ill and no replacement could be found in this short period of time.

I remember a time when even I myself have been keen on writing an analysis before each tournament with predictions of how each of the teams of the Major will perform. That was when there were only 3-4 Majors every year.

It's only just the tail end of summer and always a quieter time of year. They're probably on holiday or amusing the rugrats like most of the rest of us.

It's not that there's too many, for me it's the split teams. If it was possible for a team to compete in all majors I would build a good one. Can't be bothered to build for ranked and box tho.

I have seen Milford pulling a female snotling in a posh resort in Lustria. Bukowski getting plain drunk in a DARK alley full of gobs (sorry Verminado, i forgot the right spelling) and the OBC Sports crew On a strike due to unpaid wages.

Bad times, my dear dominik. Time you take over and step up? Mr. Green

A strike?! Unpaid wages?!

I think each division should have 2 of its own Majors and then there should be 2 Major Majors shared between them, making a total of 6 Majors each year.

I think we just miss Milford.

Yupp.

I would personally like to see all Ranked and Box tournaments open to both divisions (and probably have the number scaled down so there's less or no overlap).

Dominik, get writing it already! I went out in the first round, like I always do. Exception being the stunty cup, where you can't go out in the first round, so I went out in the second. But I was there! Smile

There's really but one guy cranking out fluff and one more crunching numbers. I'm sure they wouldn't mind if someone else carried a bit of the load every now and then.

Start a Dominik's Divination thread. I'd be willing to break down a bracket like we used to do in the old days. Really, we just need someone willing to round up some writers and coordinate the whole thing (i.e. - "pizzamogul writes up this bracket, Foulscumm does that one, tussock takes the third, etc...").
