I actually agree that the tournament should be best of something other than 1. Anyway that's not the point, the point is that rank is supposed to signify the best players. The top ranked players currently are most definetely not the best players. If you want ranked to work at all the staff needs to take it more seriously. There are good players who don't even bother with ranked because it has no real significance, and the only reason I play it, is to get the tc from winning the tourneys. Ranked isn't competitive, nothing about it is, and that's the problem.

Edit: Close your parentheses smalls.
Edit 2: Why is taido2 still in the game.
