[CCL - S1] League Stage - Week 2
« on: January 20, 2019, 11:03:59 pm »








Spoiler
The Cavalry Champions League started last week with our height regiments taking their first footings into the competition.

The 11e Régiment de Hussard, lead by Lindblom and considered as a strong contender for the title had a tough first match-up as they took on the French heavies from the 1er Régiment de Cuirassiers in the opening match of the CCL. After a flying start which saw them taking a 3-0 lead without many answers from their opponents, the 1erRC managed to grab one round, only to see the 11e striking two back to back, securing the draw and offering themselves a four round lead quite easily. From that point forward, many could have expected the 1erRC to collapse however the French and Poles managed to gather themselves, took advantage from their slow-paced play-style and with lots of patience, managed to crawl back and reduce the 11e's lead to one little round only, 5-4.

After nearly two hours of intense plays, it took a lot of composure from both teams to not crumble under pressure and in what would be a highly contested final round, the 11e managed to secure a slim victory, mostly thanks to an amazing Shadey who prevented a 1v2 clutch to go in the favour of the 1erRC; in the very last moment of the encounter. Netherveless, the 1erRC showed a strong resilience for their first match of the CCL and despite not being able to get the draw, they fully deserve that defensive bonus and send a clear message to their future opponent. On the 11e's side, they managed to avoid getting upset in their first match and despite the 1erRC's come back, they can still be happy as they have gained four important points against an opponent which is likely to cause troubles to many of other top regiments of the CCL.

The three remaining matches of the first week were all played on Sunday and as expected, two of them ended up being extremely one-sided matches. The 4e was simply too much to handle for the 2Lr and despite a strong showing in numbers from the 16e/KGL alliance, they didn't manage to find a gap in the Nr6's armour. With that being said, it is only the first matches and both the 16e and the 2Lr will have plenty of occasions to prove their worth later in the tournament.

The last match of this first week was a completely different story however, as the Nr4 and the 5e offered to our viewers a nail-biting series which took place on all ten rounds of the match. It all started with the Nr4 making one hell of a strong statement in taking the first two rounds quite convincingly, making the 5e doubt themselves very early on. The Frenchmen under Exofrance's leadership didn't give up and manage to grab one back but in a similar fashion to the 11e vs 1erRC's match, the Nr4 was simply too strong and despite the 5e gaining the numerical advantage in several rounds, they were unable to convert these advantages into actual rounds. As the Nr4 reached five rounds, the 5e was only sitting on two and the Frenchmen saw themselves with their backs against the wall, with no more room for mistakes. Fortunately for them, it was at this moment that they seemed to wake-up as a whole and as they were continually gaining the numerical advantage, they did not let these rounds slip away from them and managed to secure the draw.

From an outside perspective, this match was an intense and skilful battle which sums very well why this competition has the potential to be extremely close, from start to finish. With that being said, the Nr4 will certainly share many regrets looking back at that match. If a draw against the 5e can be considered a strong performance on their side, they had things under control and yet didn't manage to not give-up a strong lead in the late part of that encounter. From a 5-2 situation where they could have denied the 5e any single point in their first match, they were unable to prevent that comeback and will certainly not be fully satisfied with these two points taken in the first week.
Netherless, the counter-performance of this week is to be attributed to the 5e Hussards. In a match where they were considered as the favourites, yes from a small margin, but favourites still, they showed a lot of flaws in their gameplay and have a lot of stuff to work on if they still intend to be a strong contender in this CCL.

For this second week of the CCL, the Nr6 and 4e will be both trading their opponents. In a similar fashion to last week, it's hard to see an upset from the 16e/KGL or the 2Lr nonetheless, both regiments will certainly have their heart set on doing better than last week. On the 2Lr side, the German derby against the Nr6 will certainly motivate their national pride, whereas, for the 16e/KGL, I will be intrigued to see if they can repeat their performance against the Nr6 and make some rounds come close against the 4e. No matter what, it's worth noting that these early match-ups are fairly unbalanced and the 2Lr and 16e/KGL's chances to perform in this competition shouldn't be judged on the back of these two matches.

The first match of this week will once again feature the 1erRC this Friday, which will be opposed to the Nr4. Both regiments have shown good promises in their opening match and this encounter should provide for some intense and back and forth actions. The Nr4 will have to summon their patience against the French heavies, especially if they are given an early lead once more, as the 1erRC proved they are quite difficult to deal with in the late instance of the match. On their side, the 1erRC will be certainly looking for more than a simple defensive bonus, like the one they got in the first week against the 11e and this match will be the perfect occasion for them to gain some momentum by defeating an opponent of a similar calibre.

Then on Saturday, the 11e will take on the Frenchmen from the 5e. After their complicated and long match against the 1erRC in which they were put in difficulties but eventually survived that challenge, the 11e will be looking at crushing the 5e's souls in this second week. If this isn't going to be a walk in the park by any mean for the European mixture, the 11e has proven that they can keep things under control even in intense scenarios and will be logically going as the favourite in that match-up. For the 5e members, they will have to remain as composed as possible and rely on their team play to defeat the heavy hitters of the 11e. Such teamplay wasn't necessarily there last week but the 5e is the type of regiment capable to learn a lot from their mistakes and there is no doubt that they will have done their homework coming against their opponent.

Husaren-Regiment Nr4 4 - 6 1er Regiment de Cuirassiers

[close]

I must say this game as referee was disappointing from both teams. Both teams were unfriendly to each other, the chat was spammed, sometimes you couldnt even read if the regiments were ready.
To the 1erRC I want to say, I got many complaints about wallhugging, this week and last week, and mostly I did not agree with those complaints, which I did tell the people complaining, but I must say, moving to the wall in the beginning of the rounds, and then moving the wall along half a circle around the map, is absolutly unnecessary, bringing no advantage at all, just delaying time and provoking the other team and the referee.
I would suggest to not do that anymore, so the referee has it more easy to decide in your interest, and to defend his decission against other teams.

However, I am still available of course to both regiments as future referee if they wish so and I hope that no offense is taken from my quite harsh words and that they help both regiments in the future tournament.

As a leader, I am extremely disappointed with the behavior of some players, especially the leader of the Nr4 who behaves like a child in this competition, and who instead of alleviating the situation, continues to provoke and incite his own regiment to continue to troll, throughout the match, it is clear that for me, I do not wish to re-match with this behavior, I had to ask myself to ask the referee to intervene, which leaves the freedom to some players to pollute the Global chat, so I have to play, leader my team and in addition ask the referee to act, it's for me big anything, disappointed for me the rules have not was respected, some people deserve sanctions or either the rules and the penalties, are there only to make pretty.

Spoiler
En tant que leader, je suis extrêmement déçu du comportement de certains joueurs et notamment du leader du Nr4 qui se comporte comme un enfant dans cette compétition, et qui au lieu d'alléger la situation, continue de provoquer et d'inciter son propre régiment à continuer de troll, tout au long du match, il est clair que pour moi, je ne souhaite pas re-match avec ce comportement, j'ai dû demander moi-même demander à l'arbitre d'intervenir, qui laisse la liberté à certains joueurs de polluer le Globale tchat, donc je dois jouer, leader mon équipe et en plus demander à l'arbitre d'agir, c'est pour moi du grand n'importe quoi, déçu pour moi les règles n'ont pas était respecté, certaines personnes mérite des sanctions ou soit les regles et les sanctions, sont là que pour faire jolie.

With all the respect we all have towards you Kanade, your point is slightly mistaken. Let's be honest, moving alongside the bordermap with a large gap between the formation and the invisible wall can't be called "wallhugging". It's even more true when we are not in a combat stance.
We didn't complain -at any moment- when hussars just avoided the fights (which in some ways can trully be seen as delaying as well, whether you like to ear it or not), while on the other hand, hussar players keep being absolutely mad when some of us are moving on the map by crossing some trees on our way.
Since our regiment was founded, we always had to suffer criticisms from the hussar community when they start to get bothered about our unconventional playstyle... Nothing new there, and so it happens for almost every heavy cavalry regiment in the exact same way.
Didn't you think at any moment that heavies couldn't be held responsible for round length ? How do you want us to get a round ended quickly when we must be a very large group to get a slight chance to even catch one hussar ? You saw it yourself many times in our previous matches : a heavy formation can be totally wiped within a few seconds by an efficient hussar charge, while the opposite takes an eternity due to the huge speed gap between our cows (heavy horses) and their motorbikes (light horses). We don't have the easy role, so don't put the responsibility on us on that matter, please.

About the behaviour issues, you must not have paid attention. Nr4 members were trolling/flooding the global chat everytime until you've been told by Squall to act as you were intended to act, while we -for the most part- remained silent during the whole match. And you dare to charge us about being guilty of the bad sportsmanship ? You must be kiddin.

Great game from 1erRC, deserved loss for Nr4 : that's what you get for being toxic, enjoy your defensive point, take care.

Great game from 1erRC, deserved loss for Nr4 : that's what you get for being toxic, enjoy your defensive point, take care.

You might have misunderstood me.
I did not blame you for the long rounds. Also I did not claim, that you would wallhugg, I even wrote, that I do tell everyone who complains, that I do not think that is wallhugging.
I know the criticism very well, you might remember that I lead heavy cavalry in the 4th season of the CNWL.
I am on your side here, I only criticised the beginning of each round, as I do not understand why you do what you do there and what´s the purpose/advantage. And in the end it does make it more difficult for the referee to defend you, but we do defend you anyway.

I will only address the issue about toxicity because the 'map borders playstyle' is a whole other story and I don't have that much time at work since I am at work. (There goes my lunch break btw)

There is no denying that last night was a shitshow in many regards. The match length was unnecessarily long and the starting time rather late, which lead to the match ending around midnight, which isn't necessarily something we want to have for the CCL. More importantly, the way the match was played contributed to exacerbating the tensions between both regiment, leading to some questionable behaviours on both sides.

I am not going to point fingers at both regiment leaders, telling them which side started or which side did worse; it would be pointless and childish and it is fairly obvious both (sides) are at fault anyway. I would just like to clarify that concerning the referring, Kanade dealt with the situation to the best of his abilities. I was there during the whole match, and even though I must admit I might have taken a few breaks / did something else at the same time, I generally had a fair grasp of what happened on the server. There is also a stream which should give people a fair amount of insights about the match, would they be bothered to go through three hours of gameplay.

There was a lot of all chat spam, once again from each side, which had been going on since Round 1. Mostly it was players from both regiments talking to each other, sometimes in their own native language. For a good part of the match, this spam appeared as friendly from the referee/administration point of view and didn't seem to bother anyone. It is only in the late part of the encounter that this spam turned into actual toxicity.

Yes, there is indeed a rule about players behaviours. But I will say state it straight that while we intend to have a positive atmosphere on the server, online competitions can sometimes turn people into a worse version of themselves and we simply cannot ban players for a border-line (no bad pun intended) behaviour. Especially when a good part of each regiment is 'slightly' going at each other, but without resulting to insults or hateful speech. Maybe Kanade was a bit slow to react, nonetheless, he took actions as soon as you requested it. I insist on this, despite some people being a bit difficult last night, there wasn't an excessively toxic behaviour from someone last night, except maybe from Woj. We talked with Squall on steam about it and I figured out that it wasn't worth banning Woj during the match but that doesn't mean sanctions won't be taken, against him, or anyone else for that matter and this regardless of the seriousness of their actions.

Edit: In order to avoid this escalation of unneeded events such as last night, we could also very well prevent the use of all-chat, as some competitions did some years ago. But we feel the tournament is already restrictive enough in certain areas so that we do need to come to such extremity. It is both the referee and leaders' job to keep their players under control during the match.

If needs be, I will go through the three hours of recording to figure out most of it, but for now, I'd appreciate if we can leave it here.

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