Not sure why the Native rule is needed anyway, the only native players people should be scared of are the ones who have played a lot of NW. So Gibby, Lapache, Maximou etc.
The rest are going to be garbage in a Group fight even if they have a sword. We saw this countless times in the early iterations when players such as gibby and maximou lost to full NW teams. Just for example TBE vs ChimpZ, Maximou was constantly sidestabbed because he didn't understand range properly of a musket were as Hokej who knew range was almost never picked.
Voluble said to me after the match choosing native swords lost me the tournament and I would agree with him then. I think this rule really only applys to the very few Tier 1 native players that have NW experience, and I don't think the organisers should be limiting teams by denying native players when in reality I think it makes little difference, given how few of these native players would actually make it too dominant. Also Bayonet > Sword.
