Te Ora
Just viewing the other leagues around the net, and seeing how they helped battlers realise potential. We haven't really had anything text wise that is really organized since $$ was running tournaments, and I thought this would give text battlers a place to show their talent
Do you think all other tournaments have failed since $$ stopped running them?
I don't think we've ever had a tournament that hasn't reached it's completion, but all because they get to the end doesn't mean it was a success. I feel they've all had inconsistencies rule wise which have caused disputes. For most of them the judges were people who really didn't know much about battling, and I think we've managed to remedy that for the ABL
Do you think this is better organized? and how sure are you that this league has been organized properly?
I defintley think this is better organized. I know this. I remember speaking to former tournament runners when they'd posted their sign up threads and then asking them how is this and that going to work and them being all "dam, I don't know.. I never thought of that". I don't think any of the hosts have put as much thought into a tournament or league on this site, as I have for this one. I've gotta give propz to Nyce though. He helped out a lot with how this would be run and would work. That fag practically lives in battle leagues so his advice on how it should work n shit was pretty helpful
Is everything going to plan at the moment witht the set-up of the league?
Thus far it's all going to plan. We're actually getting this started a week earlier than we thought we would
Who will be running, and helping with the league?
Me & you will be hosting. MIC REKKIN BASTARD and especially Nyce have helped with setting this up, and will be helping with modding
What do you hope will come out of this league? what do you hope to achieve by the end of it?
I hope we get a core of say 10 battlers up to a good level. I hope everyone in it elevates. We're looking to crown the best text battler on this site, but we're mainly looking to elevate everyone involved
Do you think its going to be close between any 2 or three people or basically everyone has a chance of winning it?
I think dudes like Fohkus, Menace, Joe Native, sp!t are ganna elevate real quick and will be real competitive by the time playoffs come around. I think it's pretty wide open leading in, everyone is of similar skill level really
In the rules you say the league is for fun, but yet, you state you will try and get anybody banned that no-shows twice, do you think that is fair?
That was more a scare you into showing the fuck up tactic. I doubt I'd be able to get you banned, but if your ganna sign up to a league you really should show up. No shows have ruined most other tournaments and leagues on this site before. I don't want that to happen to this one
Do you not think that maybe, battlers will get bored, as the league will take more than 12 weeks to complete?
I hope not, I guess we'll see. The plan is to introduce the championship about a month in, which should create extra interest and competition. We're hoping the dudes not in the Top 10 will strive to get into it, and that'll keep competition fierce. Theres plans to have special stipulation weeks which should keep competitors entertained too
What if you find yourself in a difficult situation, being a battler and a co-host, what if something argumentative happens in one of your battles, how will you sort that out?
Bitching in threads will not be tolerated. If you do that you will lose votes. There is going to be a chat thread each week we're you can bitch all you want, so there'll be no excuse for arguing in battles
What if theirs an argument about your battle, in the chat thread . . . . .How will you sort that out?
About my battle? The chat thread will be for shit like that. I guess if it gets too out of hand I'll just close the thread
how do you think your gonna do?
I want to win this one man. Anything other than 1st place will be a dissapointment for me. I haven't really put much effort into text battling for while, but I'm planning to here.
who do you think will win in the following battles
MRB vs. Nyce
MC J3RSEY vs. JonJonOyes
Fohkus vs. Synister
Spitfire vs. Te Ora
Bob vs. Fletcha
MRB v Nyce - Nyce
MC J3RSEY vs. JonJonOyes - Jon

Power Rankings
-By Te Ora
Who's in a position of power leading into rankings week..?
10. da big glassman
Has shown improvements of late and if he puts it all together could surprise his opponent. Looks likely to pounce leading in.
9. Jon
Would be rated higher but hasn’t dropped his best in a hot minute now. Goes in as the underdog against Nyce, this could very well bring out the best in him.
8. Joe Native
Would be rated higher if it weren’t for a dip in form recently. Inconsistent battler who drops well just as much as he drops weak.
7. MC J3RSEY
Faces one of the top young guns in prozpekt. This could make him up his game, and bring him back to his best. Not to be underestimated.
6. Fohkus
A bit on and off. Is expected to win against Fletcha, and should be able to put together his best for the league. Look for him to move up if he elevates.
5. sp!tf!r3
Has the easiest match of the week. Fairly consistent, and basically gets a free verse to work with his new steez and become more comfortable with it. Look for him to put it all together in week 2.
4. -ThaMenace-
Hasn’t been battling as much of recent, and could go in a little undercooked. Another with an easier match and opportunity to get warmed up before week 2. Consistently improving.
3. MIC REKKIN BASTARD
Consistently elevating. Looks a safe bet against Bob. Look for him to show well, with the prospect of a rematch with Te Ora looking likely for next week.
