Instead of doing an article I though I'd write a column focusing on who will finish the season triumphant in each division. Division's 1, 2 CO and 2 MR12 are done in detail while each other division is touched upon. Here's a snippet:"As for relegation, it seems pretty obvious who the unlucky clans are this season. VETS, NS and SA have only managed to amount 2 points thus far, and along with Ne.uk (who pulled themselves out of the division a few weeks ago), will take up the 4 relegation slots in my opinion."Check out the column here.

Quit it with the "we're 1337 and too good for this league" lark, I have a list of so many clans who thought they were too good for some divisions and then were unable to compete when it came down to it.
Sure, O:i are good, but you're not gonna get very far with an attitude like that. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

We knew for a fact that we would have to play div4 becoz of the clan dropout which then gave us the oppurtunity to play and win and slowly progress through the leagues.
But there has been talk and we have heard of some clans in the past skipping a league, which would be nice but would come of not great shock if we were not allowed too. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

1) The "rigid" results of last season. This means that I have to offer promotion to clans who deserve it and I have to keep clans who didn't win it and didn't get relegated in the same division.
2) Requests to over-ride relegation. We get a couple of these, although I'm normally only sympathetic to requests for this from divisions 1 and 2, where 4 relegation slots per division is perhaps somewhat harsh. If there was a closely fought battle to avoid the last relegation slot, it's sometimes appropriate to keep the losing clan up. We generally see 2 or 3 instances of this per season.
3) Requests for promotion from clans who narrowly missed out on it. These tend to be limited to the division 2/3 borderline. Occasionally, a division will have three clans who stand out clearly from the rest of the division. In some cases, if the third placed clan requests promotion, I will consider it. This would be dependant upon them having lost to the two clans who gain promotion by a small margin and having beaten the other clans in their division by a huge margin. I get a lot of requests for this, most of which I have to decline.
4) Requests from promoted clans to skip a division. This is why O:i were hinting at and while it's not unknown, it's very rare. In order for me to even consider this request, a clan will have had to beat all of their opponents by an absolutely huge margin.
As you can see, these factors place a very, very high demand on places in divisions 1 and 2. In addition, it is only after all of these have been taken into account that I can consider adding "new" clans to fill the vacant slots. The matter is not helped by clans who, as Ripper noted, tend to overstate their own skill or underestimate the skill level of division 3 somewhat. Certainly, at least two of the clans I denied promotion requests to division 2 at the start of this season are currently managing only an average record in division 3.
In short, while there are many clans in BWCSL I would like to place in divisions 1 and 2 and who I will be happy enough to hear requests from, I ask people to remember that there are plenty of factors while may force me to say no to requests. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Obviously map rotation could then be a prob ;) But some maps can be played twice (not aztec tho as its a really really poor map one of the worst in CS wtf is it so popular ?) like nuke/prod/d2 ?
Also de_clan2_fire is a great map and i hope every division will get to play it next season :))

We beat them 13-3 and we weren't particularly good then; they folded straight afterwards.
That was funny. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
