1 vs. 1 isn't fun anymore because of lag as a direct result of the playercount
Higher playercount = more server lag
Higher playercount = higher number of international players who lag
Higher playercount = higher number of players who intentionally lag themselves

The majority of the good low-ping sparrers who have played for a long time burned out on sparring
People who are newer to the server like Brett and James will have it happen to them eventually

The PC vs. iDevice thing is dead and personally I think there should be one leaderboard and one tournament
I can think of several iDevices that current Mixed teams would pick up if they had the option
Physically responsive controls are an inherent advantage, but I don't think it's significant enough to make a big deal about anymore
The device was never the real advantage, the advantage was the years of experience

I never GH spar because it's boring to me because there needs to be some risk/reward for it to be interesting, even if it's as simple as an incremental number
When **** becomes boring and broken, staff should incentivize it - needs to be a singles tournament or a reward for finishing #1 on the leaderboard at the end of a season
