Hello All,

I would first like to thank everyone that is a part of our league. It is because of each and every one of you that we continue to keep this game and league alive. What a great ending to an exciting season 10.

Now to move onto Season 11...
This post is intended to give you a bit of information regarding the upcoming season. We are looking for a quick offseason of roughly 3 weeks. There is currently a poll up that will aid in determining the format for this upcoming season. The answer choices are either/or, please vote. Poll will end on Friday - Noon time. To allow the respective captains to recruit based of the format decided on.

- The season start date will be May 21st.

- This season will be a 5 week season + Playoffs/championship

- We will be looking at testing classes for this upcoming season (If you have any ideas, please post them here). Currently we are looking at adding Assault Trooper, a Grenadier with a Desert Eagle just to name a couple. I will be working with Mizzouse and others to see if we can implement this.

- There will be a voting committee this season for end of season awards (I will be reaching out to players randomly by PM/USL Mail)

- Rules will have a bit more clarification set to them as sometimes they are a bit ambiguous

- Staff (including head staff) will be revamped. If you would like to be a part of the USL staff, please send me a message on this site so we can discuss the opportunities.

There will be a follow up post to this one - midway into the offseason to discuss the changes implemented and/or feedback that needs addressing before season 11 begins. I appreciate everyone's efforts to ensure we have another exciting and competitive season ahead. Please let me or another head staff member know if you have any questions/concerns/comments.

Thanks!

I hope someone steps up and makes a squad if salary cap league ends up winning. Took riley/dave to salvage this season, while certain others gave up asap to avoid the trouble cough er/manu cough.

FFA dosent seem very fair

The nerds will nerd no matter the system

What about adding a sniper class to USL like they had before?

68HP shots. No one shot med kills... And give a very weak pistol. Don't y'all think this would add a little bit more flare to the game? Make it more exciting?

60HP for sniper.

We stack 2-3 squads every season, then drive away the noobs and we wonder why we can't get new players (I'm guilty too)

I think FFA just makes the gap that much bigger

Much lower salary cap to disperse players more evenly. I would vote a little longer season play each squad twice at least to give squads a chance to develop and make roster changes. Make the wait time after season starts 10 days to join another squad. (Unlike the current leave/join same day with a wait time that is rarely enforced) 8v8 matches. No more than 1 NT. If you are short you play handicapped. If the same roster / salary numbers are used the Max cap should be no more than 500.

Still think moving to SL format would be better than what we have and bring / give lower tier squads a chance to sneak a win or two via flags or luckily getting some players out to create an advantage. As well as making all classes viable vs the current marine/med league. Note AT and a pistol on Nader aren't creating viable options. The USL Nader has always been weak. SL Nader was actually ok/ didn't allow players to walk through a 40.

The current setup and stacking of squads will not foster any growth to the league because too many people are worried about their e-cred.

Bring backs sl and alternate every season... USL and SL. I remember in SL a lower tier squad can do a sick play get all flags and beat a top squad. That never happens in USL.

Backs what you are missing is they don't necessarily want competitive balance. If they did we wouldn't have such unbalance in USL as it is.

I don't think the high salary insta-stack at the beginning of last season was encouraging towards growth. I would vote to lower salary by at least 100 and maybe try for 7 or 8 squads

I mean 3 seasons in a row now the 1st seed has been knocked out by the 4th.

s8 WH won but meccas squad(that he ditched and kippa took over knocked out rejects)
s9 glitter knocks out NH(mecca was benched for this one)
s10 BH(that mecca ditched) knocks out Rejects(while mecca plays)

Pattern!?! RIP mecca

edit: If the salary system stays I do suggest lowering the salary cap to disperse the talent a bit more though.

I didn't ditch 8, comp blew up. Made a last minute squad to get an even number ;)

Ditch!!!

damn Riley, stay woke

I didn't really wanna say anything because I think BH played a great game. But a large part of why we lost had nothing to do with the way we played. Manu was having sever connection problems and constantly disconnected during important battles, we had two players who had almost never played medic step up and tried to help us out. And if you watch that final battle, Uni's medkit jams and costs us the battle that we otherwise most likely would have been able to hold out.

I didn't really wanna say anything either, because I think Rejects played a great game too. But a large part of why we won had nothing to do with manu having connection problems. I was in and had the eye of the tiger, full of determination to destroy mecca for abandoning his own squad. After that I stopped being mad at him.

but seriously tho, you know you lost because of Pandy. You may think I am joking, but he is not someone you should ever play in playoffs. I have run a very strong squad on numerous occasions, and every time pandy joined, he would get me to playoffs, but he is complete ass. Not sure if it's moms spaghetti, but it's just not worth it. Even if it comes with ER, still not worth.

Don't believe me? watch the replay video.

I'm not trying to get into a debate about who cost us the match, I'm just trying to show what cost us the match, which ultimately came down to our only actual medic disconnecting during important battles and having to play our marines as medics to make it work.

It was probably Cage's horrible awareness
