I mean no disrespect to people I've played with from CP, but online leagues can be a massive pain in the ass at times. When I was in the CP league I was a new dad and my time quickly became very limited and very important. I still tried very hard to make time to play the games, but it didn't always matter.

I'd show up 5 minutes before the game was set to start, hang out for 10 minutes, text the opponent only to find out he's running a little late. So I wait another 10 minutes, and then realize he suddenly can't play. When you only have 40 minutes to play in an evening, you've just spent the only time you had for yourself that entire day sitting in a chair waiting for nothing.

I think the above scenario happened about 3 times in various ways before I quit (not the only reason). Sometimes it was completely understandable, but that doesn't make it any less inconvenient.

I prefer to play people, but I end up playing AI because it's just more convenient.
