There's one problem with this. They aren't passing off anyone's work as their own.By your logic Redemption ripped off Reborn league and every other league before it. Redemption was inspired by Reborn league, and if this new league is inspired by Redemption... what's the issue? It isn't running yet, and it probably won't until Redemption is over. But jesus christ, some of you are acting like Redemption was the first league to come to this community. It's not original, stop acting like it is.
Listen up, runners of this new upcoming league. My advice to you, as a lowly ace member, is to focus on the groundwork for this thing if you're serious about it. Wait for Redemption to end and use the time its running to polish up. I'll at least agree that you should have waited, and it seems like this was made on a whim. However, that doesn't warrant the reaction you have gotten.
Honestly, this is a real drag. Redemption is great, really. It's a fun experience, and I understand that a lot of work was put into it. I know the main issue was this being put up while Redemption is still fresh. But NOTHING has happened yet, they only mentioned plans. If people want to start their own league, and are willing to make it happen and put forth the work to do it, then let them. No one dumped on you about copying Reborn league, or that other league, or that other league when Redemption was announced. Don't get so high and mighty.
