History of AWP Night:
2 yrs ago TD had 2 CAL-O teams struggling to be competitive. The AWP dominates game play in CAL, TD had no AWPs ever. A nasty thread broke out about allowing AWPs in TD so the CAL team members could get some real practice. The solution was suggested, by Kirock, to create AWP night. Everybody loved the idea and it became a feature of TD.
My take: It doesn't HAVE to stay, if the community wants it gone, it's gone. But, let's not panic just yet. I would like to see, as MR has suggested, a bit more of a trend before we kill a pretty successful tradition.
2cents.
