If everyone gets the title, it's a pretty empty and meaningless title. If only a few people have it, it can be something to take pride in. The Skirmisher title is already pointless before it's been released. The Skirmish Champion is another story. Teams could easily win it, and then sit back and let other teams win it (showing an incredible level of arrogance). This means that less people would participate or try in SCS. I have my title, why bother competing again (or why bother tryharding again)? On the other hand, a few teams could win it, and then keep fighting over every Sunday to prevent as many teams as possible from getting it. This makes the title more valuable in a way, but would also cause the SCS to become increasingly more tryhard competitive.

it is also plausible that everyone participating in "SCS with titles" will start playing ari buccaneers isntead, but hey its just a theory and i dont have to test it because i already gave you the scenario :)

I don't think any team that wins it can do anything to prevent people from thinking that they are arrogant and it is soo nice to hear that a team that participates in an event that just so happens to give titles as reward is automatically associated with tryharding.

GurasOguras:
Someone might like it. And that's all what we can say about it. I would recommend to lock this thread to prevent some more unnecessary offtopic flamewars. We all got the announcement.

Ya, don't do this. I haven't even gotten to state my opinion on the matter due to internet problems (typing this from my phone). Those "flame wars" are really just one guy that the moderators don't seem to be taking action against e.g. censoring obscene language. There's no reason we can't have an intelligent conversation about it.

Fynx:
BlackenedPies: You make a good point there. Title 'Skirmisher' is pretty fitting though and it would be a little bit meaningless if there were no title for winning like T Machine mentioned. Also I'm pretty sure Rydr and Predators are not the only candidates for that title.

KitKatKitty: The problem is that SCS is pretty much the only regular competitive event for the time being, so making it less competitive removes the only regular multi-team practice there is. Especially regarding preparation for the actual tournaments, be it Sky League, Hepheastus or B&B.

Urz: Calling Blood & Brass a failure is excessive. Except for initial organisation issues that were solved, the biggest problem by far was the number of teams playing that made it awfully repetitive. And if teams just don't want to play there's little that can be done about it.

Thomas: Last time I heard 21 was a number greater than 14 and group stages were invented for splitting larger events into manageable chunks.

nhbearit: Would you be so kind to stop insulting intelligent people already... I apologise, but at this point it's just silly.

Really, I don't think titles like that will change much for good or bad, so why not. Thank you guys for initiative.
