Remember to anticipate people getting mad about their teams and quitting half way through. Happens every time so we’ll need extra players not drafted originally.

It's logical to deny EUs considering how small the NA is as a community and these events are a rare occurrence for NAs. To give the slot to a EU player (who even might be more skilled) and has already been playing the game for 5 years is wrong because now the NA players that are just getting into comp don't get picked because possibly the EU players are better than the lower skill levels of the league, so they get shoved to the free agent pool or whatever and don't get to play and thus will not be as involved in the competitive community. The goal is to get as many NAs as we can involved in the competitive community so we're able to last as long as possible and filling those voids with experienced EU players on the verge of retirement is a bit of an iffy move, that's all.

It's logical to give priority to NA players, it's not to deny EU ones. Sure, I completely agree with you that it would be a shame to have some less known NA players not being picked-up because some captains are choosing their EU friends over them. That's pretty much the reason why I stated from the beginning that I shouldn't be considered as a regular player but simply as a back-up. If I don't get to play, that means that every player from every team was somewhat active, making the league quite successful so that's completely fine by me.

Also, don't get where you are coming from with your last sentence. So far, only Artista and I have signed-up for the 5v5 Draft League from EU and I believe I was also the only EU signing-up for the Tiered Duel Tournament (purposely leaving NANWL aside here as it's not relevant). Can't really call us 'on the verge of retirement'?

Don't worry about what people think, they don't do it very often.

I don’t think an extra team or two is ideal for draft leagues. The free agency pool was good for 4v4. The problem of possibly adding extra teams is ensuring every match would be as even as possible, numbers wise. In the first season, there were matches that were 3v4. If a captain saw one of their players were constantly inactive, they would be dropped. And now, since it’s a 5v5 League there may be more instances where teams will probably play a man down. It’s more difficult to schedule these matches because it requires 5 members of their team to be on, compared to regiments where they can just send an announcement and people that want to play in the event just show up, or occasionally bring some mercs. And one regiment would have to balance. Having a good sized free agent pool would be ideal mostly for this league expanding to 8 players a team.

A lot of EU's were seemingly against Team Canada's participation in NWWC last time if I remember right, but then you have people like Herishey, Tardet, the Turks and Kore/Fwuffy who have encouraged and participated in cross-pollination. So it's a mixed bag.

But I wouldn't start imposing tariffs on EU's now just because they've done the same previously. NA has always been receptive to South America so we may as well be to EU.

The South Americans illegally enter our regiments and events. Much harder for the Europeans to do so.

What I meant by that is that you've both had long "careers" in NW and basically have accomplished a sufficient amount in the game to cement yourself in the community, kind of like TNWL it's to have newer players become recognized I guess, so far you and Artista have only signed up but we also had different EUs last season and I'm kind of expecting a couple more to sign up tbh

As someone who has talked and played with NWWC organizers and numerous EU regiments / events, the general notion is as follows:

NA is just extra trouble for EU events, and can be allowed to play but not made exception for.

As for what happened last NWWC, I have no say and was not a part of that in any way, but when I ran Team USA for NWWC we played normally and the other EU teams played us at the best time we could negotiate with them. Many competitive EU players see NA as a waste of time to try and incorporate because it often brings a baggage-load of issues, like timezones, ping, attitude to name a few.

Hiya folks,
      I apologies for my hiatus, was trying to sell my laptop and two people flaked on me. Anyways Here a little update.

In the NA community:
Our Na tier lists are ever growing and it's great to see people give their opinons and discuss where everyone else of note places in the world of melee and leadership. Here's a list of list.

NA's tier'd list list
Hope you enjoyed my list of lists, hope someone else makes one too.

Current Tournaments

- Summer's End Jousting Tourney | powered by Gatorade Was a hit! I heard great things about the event and how it ran. Unfortunatly I wasn't able to attend but Congratz to person of the LIR for winning the tourny!

- North American Regimental Groupfighting League 2019 Currently is on hold for a few months due to the lack of sign-ups. Hopefully we see a few more regiments formed and ready for melee!

- North American Draft League Season 2 Sign-ups are closed and The draft will hopefully be on the 12th. Drafts are fun..right?

- Chantakey has hosted a 2v2 With the 5th, IB, LG, and HRE. He will be hosting another one next week. Contact him if you'd like to join Chantakey's Steam

- A Hunger games will be hosted within the next few weeks. The date has yet to be settled upon. Contact me on Steam If you have any questions.




I'll be posting more in the upcoming week. Thanks for the patients everyone!

It's going to be straight up disrespectful to everyone as an American when I win the league with my superior Canadian intellect
