what i try to say is that if you want to play 1-1, someone will appear. and what is a llader in good shape? a ladder with 8-10 guys? now there are a lot of new players making their way. and the more known players are playing TG. i love it. last year all 1-1, this year more TG.wow... suddenly ladder is alive... omg 2 pro players matching in ladder can only mean its not dead.
Hera will take the liereyy route and appear only for tourneys to get the monies and be just fine streaming LoL ladder where ladder is extremely competitive . :D
and remember, age2 is a TG game, if not, just take the team bonus.
