Excited to find out what the teams will be. I still think at the very least yearly relegations would be the way to go. I understand the job security argument and think that given the status of the world right now they are making the right choice to still not have them this year. I just don't see any other way to fairly allow new talent into the league. I think one relegation phase at the start/end of a season once per year wouldn't be too unfair for the players.

We really are just re-inventing the format every year huh? I don't know if that's a good or a bad thing. I assumed that for the last few years they were just feeling out ideas until they found one they really liked and settled, but I am starting to wonder if there is a philosophy of "keep it changing, keep it fresh," floating around league ops. I hope it's the former. A set year-to-year format would make an annual relegation tournament more feasible, and might just be nice for my piece of mind. I know constant changes can be a sign of growth.... but they also make me worry that the money people might not be happy with the way the SPL is run.
I'm sure they know what they're doing. Probably. I'm just a worrier. Probably.
An overwhelming majority of the changes we make from year to year are based on pro player feedback and community feedback. Every year there's room to improve, so we like to make minor adjustments where we can! I feel you though, I'm a worrier too. (Worrier gang rise up)
Not sure how they landed on the prize pool amount, but I love it. $66,666 in prize pool for end of phase tourneys.
