I've sat through a ton of IDG games and I've only seen someone actually win twice, once Red, and once Nexus. The rest of the time I watch even the IDG members die as titan over and over again, and with good reason. I've sat through a lot of actual try outs and watched as the titans fail abysmally over and over again.
Builder try outs are simple. Especially when taken place in an IDG game where there are typically several IDG members and a lot of potential IDG's (People who are of comparable builder skill but cannot pass titan) a builder is almost assured victory in most cases.
So my questions are:
Has anyone actually successfully tried out for and passed titan any time recently?
Isn't the way acceptance is based for membership a little... unfair? It seems the only way to win is by sheer luck in most cases, hoping that the good players will screw up significantly or getting lucky and managing a PUG where there are very few decent players. And if that IS the case, why are new players held to a standard that most IDG players cannot uphold themselves?
I mean I understand the idea behind it, but the reasoning doesn't seem to hold up well in practice from the games I've sat through. To pass as both titan and builder, is basically saying "In order to get accepted you must be better than the IDG members at both builder and titan" which is implausible.
This isn't a flame post before anyone tries to jump in with that, I haven't even bothered trying out lately simply because I host most of the time and already play with most of the IDG members, so it's not even for my benefit, I don't plan on being in. I'm honestly just geniunely curious at how it is being done.
Titaning against an IDG inhouse is terribad, in my opinion. I've tried however many times and I fail nonetheless.
