The "andre yang" complaint isn't valid, as there are two leagues - the pro league is for people like Andre, if you play in that league you do it either because you asked for it yourself, OR because you have sponsors. The regular LN2 guys fight in the Extreme league.
I think rev. 3 had too much focus on single card benching. That's just my point of view. I'm happy with the change, as it gives people more options, instead of it being like you HAVE to focus on all benchmarks in singlecard to be able to compete at all. Yes, you probably need to have a slightly bigger budget now than before, but there are plenty of options if you want to run just one card + 2D. Plus, we allow CPU sharing for 3D, so it's perfectly possible for a team to save some cash that way.
