New Sunday Community Skirmish Rewards
KitKatKitty:
I'm don't feel this really addresses the over all concern for the players who think SCS has become too serious with the same outcome every week and has gone away from the initial idea of it being a practice event to help teams become better not discourage them from competitive. The rewards will probably have some increase in initial sign ups for people who want to get the title but once they have the title you are left with the same problems of why teams aren't signing up. I feel this is more of a temporary band aid.
I think bearit was trying to express an overall feeling that he doesn't agree with titles in his initial post and even though it wasn't clearly stated that way, I don't feel you should have dismissed him so quickly, instead ask why he thought it wasn't a good idea.
Dementio:
I get the feeling that people are reading too much into this.
nhbearit:
A couple points to clarify: I have not yet stated an opinion on this matter, only asked for clarification. The answer to my second question is not actually stated in the op unless the answer is "to give back to players that have already participated by giving an award to people who participate in the future" which is logically silly (and that is an opinion.) Last but not least, its rather difficult to look too much into this. It's pretty simple. Now can I please get an honest and clear answer to my second question, so that I can express my opinions later and in an intelligent manner.

Timmy B was not serious tournament and it had rewards as far as I know, so why SCS shouldn't have them too? Why do you think only serious matches should be rewarded?
SCS is as much serious as you make it for yourself. Why do you think it's too serious, because people take sane builds? Meta builds? That's practice as well. Every match is a practice and if one team takes meta build, doesn't mean they are not practicing. They are practicing meta builds, which makes sense, because it's probably good start for most teams.
Everyone wants to win, so they take whatever they think it would bring them to victory. I took meta builds in SCS and I got beaten by Rydrs, but I got practice out of that and experience.
That's why SCS is exactly the best place for practice, because everyone tends to try hard to win and they usually play to their best ability. I know I learned a lot more from single SCS than from couple of skirmishes.

The concern is that these rewards won't accomplish anything and will only benefit the few teams already at the top: including you and Lueosi. SCS isn't very dynamic with the same teams winning every week and few new joiners. It's great to see recent teams like RAWR and Why So Serious but they don't stand a chance against the established winners
You can only use one title and I doubt any players will flaunt "Skirmisher", but the distinguished elite will proudly display their "Skirmish Champion". Therefore it doesn't help SCS and only benefits the already established winners
