I think really the lineup stands at:
Gibby,
HiReaper,
Blackbeard?,
Smallest?,
Other than this i'm scratching my head trying to think of names of active ENG players
Everyone plays to win, but that doesn't mean you can't take other players and try to do better. A lot of national teams are weaker than ENG/FRA/GER, but they keep playing anyway. and try to show their best game.
I'm sure they can, and will. I'm not saying for a second that because it's ENG they aren't allowed to do that. And that they HAVE to go for 1st. It was a little hard for me to take ENG coming 4th last year, but was like water off a ducks back really. Didn't care much at all. But with how i feel about the game now, idc where ENG places. Wish everyone in NWWC all the best.
Just for me, i've had an easy run in NW tbf. All the people i'm closest to, are extremely high level players, that played with me in ENG and Poosy. So NWWC was always enjoyable no matter what.
