Hey all,
I play in some regional competitions and I'm a shitter so play in tier 3, it's getting stupidly hard of late as there are players who are ex tier 1 and 2 trolling the lobby.
I am wondering what tournament organisers do in their own specific regions to combat this and try and make it a level playing field?
Any information would be great.
Thanks.

here in NA we have a prio rule. friend of mine was scrimming in a lobby with YAHO. they call their drops before scrims and as you know, they're a pro t1 team so us t2 players cant drop on them, because well get banned. so they hot drop my friend (not anywhere near their spot) and ruin his scrims :) i agree. getting sick of professionals trolling. i love playing in lobbies with better players whom i look up to, but seeing them do stupid shit just because they can in a competitive environment is honestly just an embarrassment
Just bully j4m until he stops playing in your league instead of vagueposting on Reddit about it. Jesus it's not that complex.
Lol. I'm not even playing in LPL. but keep making assumptions mate 😂.
J4m isn't the issue imo. Altho he is signed as a sub heading to PGC and is playing in amateur leaves, he isn't breaking any current rules.
There are t1 pros using alt accounts, which are being shared.
All I am asking for here is what other regions do to ensure a more level playing field. I have zero care or hate for j4m
Other regions don't really do anything to prevent what you've described because what you've described so far is permitted by the rules less account sharing.
If people are doing the wrong thing then name names instead of vagueposting.
Do you mean real T1 players or koala bear Oce """T1""" players? Is Shen ringing again after not getting punished at all for ringing to play in multiple PCS qualifiers? Is it one of the 236 crowd playing in multiple divisions again? Is 4fun slumming in T3 because abusing Oce div wasn't enough of a kick?
I get bullied enough bro :(

No

Isn't what you described a level playing field, with just some players being better?
Not when you have players entering tier 3 with little to mid comp experience playing against teams who have previously gone to LAN. no..
What about the field is not level? It sounds exactly like he said: a completely level field where some players are better.
This is how it works in any sport as well. You can be drafted then put on the practice squad. Doesn't mean that player is bad or not up to par, just that it wasnt a good fit or that an even better player won the spot. Those ex-tier 1 players might be looking for a team and need to show that they still have the skills or the desire to play comp and hopefully they get picked up eventually. You shouldn't view it as a negative thing though. If you have access to some type of vod review just watch what they do and maybe you'll learn a thing or 2 that'll help you become that tier 2 or tier 1 player down the road. Everybody that plays comp should have the goal of improving and sometimes that doesnt just mean your mechanics but how you approach it mentally. Hang in there man
You won't get better if you don't play with & against better players.
This is like someone complaining that it’s unfair that a relegated premier league FC is playing in EFL because those guys are better.
And your assertion that S tier players are using Smurf accounts to play in lower tiers is insane to me, why tf would they bother?

LMAO, this is such a ridiculous take. If you can’t handle competing against someone that isn’t good enough to still compete in higher tiers, then you’re not good enough to compete in the tier you’re competing in.
There is no lower tier, this is the entry tier.
Ok, what does that have to do with anything I said?
👍
So is your solution that those ex tier 1 players shouldnt be allowed to compete anymore if they cant make into any tier 1 roster. That would be really unfair imo.
No, but the lobby should be of equivalent skill sets. There are three tiers, they should be playing with people who challenge them
j4m isn't a particularly good player. You should dry your eyes and put your big boy pants on.
