    	    <description><![CDATA[UK to NY server is about 90-110 ping at best. Elsewhere in Europe or America it will be much worse. Its hard to play at 100+ ping, but once you're getting to 150+ or so the game becomes unplayable (or at least incredibly difficult) for most classes.]]></description>

The same thing could also happen for EU TF2 in Season 16 in ESEA (Need more teams to sign up for Season 15 for that to happen).]]></description>

"Doesn't matter that much". My reasoning for this statement is that there's several classes in HL where high ping isn't all that dangerous and DM doesn't matter as much in HL either (In my opinion).]]></description>

		<blockquote>[...]
well, israelis play with 80-100 ping, and that works well.. there were israelis in prem, and there are still a few in prem level at the moment. (im not counting bar cuz hes a medic and its different...)
good soldiers and demomen with 100 ping are out there - matnun, rtshock, tarkus (i guess...), and scouts aswell, but again - ping doesn't affect them as much.
ya, it is harder with higher ping,and thats why don't think it should replace the normal leagues, but making a bigger league could be cool...

edit: and what andee said! :D</blockquote>

The difference between 80-100ms and 100-200ms is huge. I play in Pugna quite often and I get about 120ms to Chicago. I can still play soldier and demo with that ping, but I aim does get quite a bit worse (even worse than it is on 20ms OLOWLOWL). The other pug server is in Dallas and I get about 140ms there. That little increase in ping makes such a huge difference that it almost becomes impossible to play for me. I can only image how bad it would be to play with higher ping than that.]]></description>

    	    <description><![CDATA[i dont think its feasable simply because players (espically prem/invite players) would complain too much about the ping issues. it would be interesting to see the likes of epsilon and TCm playing HRG and Mix^ consistently, insted of once every few years, but at the same time, it also makes tne cross continental lans all the more special because of its rarity.]]></description>

This. It's hard enough to arrange a match with people in your own timezone. Not to mention people that are still at work/school, when you wanna play a match ;)]]></description>

[...]

First of all Israeles do not have 100 ping (I have one on my team and he has 60-80 ping) and secondly Americans will have more than that. If they're from the east coast they will have at least 120 ping and those from the west coast will have around 200 ping and as W-LAN said, most NA teams have people from all over the country.</blockquote>
im an israeli demoman. so ya... 80-100 ping.
i played with some americans who had around 100 ping.
and about the all over country thing, idk... just throwing the idea out there... maybe a league is too big for this, maybe just make a cup? maybe esa could try it with the one night cups..?

oh and like a year ago pings were higher... i used to play with 100-110 ping, and so did most israelis. that didn't stop the prem dudes at the time.]]></description>
