Yeah, I thought about adding context there. As I understand it, it was a reference to GLL's lax enforcement of their own scrim rules, like allowing teams who leave or never show up to continue scrimming. And on the other side, top-tier teams get understandably upset when they aren't allowed practice, which has happened on a regular basis. So I think the blame game goes both ways for quality of NA scrims, which have had similar issues since at least January of this year. I do find it funny that low-tier tourneys seem to have replaced them as de facto 'practice'.
Love the interview. Learned a lot from those few questions. Really cool to see them figuring out how to make money for themselves and leading the way for others who will follow their template for success. Are you able to elaborate on what he meant by this? "The scrim quality is basically worthless imo. GLL kinda gate-keeps the top tier teams from getting quality practice." EU scrims are much higher quality so to me it just seemed like it was an issue with the amount of NA teams that actually committed to taking scrims seriously. This is the first I've heard some blame put on GLL so I'm wondering what he meant by that.

I think the zone damage should be reverted for comp and ranked but not casual
