You guys should keep this to a steam chat if you want to keep in line with the whole respectable NA thing. Superior moral ground person, out.

Can't.

Dope lets have a thread fight instead of figuring out a course of action.

It was a pretty civil debate for the most part other than Godfreid's one insult there and it was sorted out in less than one page! Good talk.

MAR 1 - 8

Ongoing #1 - Rise of Public Groupfighting and fall of BoB Groupfighting
Recently since BoB pretty much dissolved it saw the rise in popularity of Public Groupfighting which brings back NA_Groupfighting style administration with little tweaks and pretty cool scripts involving assists, no kd resetting, etc. Dallas Groupfighting seems to be kind of an absent placeholder but it's kind of hard to tell what's going on with that server. For now there is a central groupfighting server which is a good thing and a decent change for the community as it does also have better administration that BoB was somewhat lacking.

Ongoing #2 - NWDL
Currently NWDL is in its third week and things are progressing relatively smoothly with only a few bumps in the road with some minor tweaks here and there. The waiver wire will be at the end of this week after all the matches are completed and the captains will pick from the free agency pool.

Ongoing #3 - More (unique) competitive events
Brought to you by Jolly & Vetro with Fireboy's idea is the randomized 2v2 tournament in which you are paired up with a random partner from the sign ups to compete. Since this is a 2v2 there is a possibility to have a lot of teams so make sure you guys sign up and get your friends to sign up to make this a real tournament.

Brought to you by Dan the Chef is another one of his innovative tournaments, this time being a 5v5 capture the flag "test" tournament which has potential to be fun given there's enough interest/sign ups for it. You can sign up for the tournament here but you'll need a team to sign up with.

There are also a couple of other competitive events in the works but I'm not privy to that information.(;

Ongoing #4 - EU Tournament thing
Also this past week the NA team of the Napoleon's Cup EU tournament was eliminated due to bad sportsmanship long story short. It's not really worth going into and I'm sure most of you know the situation as it's the same shit every year. Pretty shitty to hear but it happens I guess and really you just have to move on because it is their tournaments in the end. There has been talk of hosting a "fair" world cup with multiple servers and all that but that would have to be well orchestrated and ran professionally in order to succeed I believe.

[|Viper|]

I’m actually happy Windflower is CR.

[Theodin]

same shit every year.

In all seriousness, Team Canada managed to make cross-continent relationships work in NWWC. I A) don't know the situation and B) don't know if this is addressed at the EU's, but it seems like the only times there have been issues with WC style tournaments have been the US boycotts and this, whatever this is

The problem with the WC style tournaments is that they are European tournaments which discriminate against the NA region (which is fair, it's their events), but they are promoted and exhibited as a world cup tournament. This bias almost always will raise issues/questions every year. The solution to this is not to create a biased NA world cup tournament but a fair solution in which all nations can compete without facing bias from the organizers. Canada manages to make it work (for the most part) because we've been willing to participate in these tournaments because they are the only ones in which USA/Canada may represent themselves on a global scale so we not only do not mind the timezones but also don't mind the ping.

There honestly wasn't a huge issue until our match vs Netherlands.

The problem arose because the organizers announced that teams would be required to face us 5 rounds EU, 5 rounds NA, but didn't enforce it against Netherlands.

I don't think there would've been any problems if they either just stuck with having us do all 10 rounds on EU, or just actually enforced doing 5 and 5, instead of leaving it up to whatever Captain we were facing and how sportsmanlike they were feeling.

At least then we could prepare for our circumstances instead of being like "Well let's hope our next opponent isn't a sack of shit".


But I honestly don't care anymore, we all know who would've won if we went back to NA after that 2-3 half  , I wish them good luck in their journey to 4th place.
