I was wondering, Nicos was the original Col for the first few years right? I remember after he made 16th he made the 18e training map which we still use today. With plenty of meme modifications of course!

Nicos was Colonel for like half a year as Art said. I took command then, but didn't fashion the Colonel rank until much later. We used to have Major as the highest rank.

NWWC arguments have historically been needlessly aggressive and kinda cringe. But this year, my god, this whole mess is just idiotic. Ironic comments left and right, people arguing about bloody backstabs and past gfs, modded graphics, crashes and in-game comments. Are you kidding me? Have you gone so deep into the "group-thinking" mindset (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groupthink) that you can't communicate without being sarcastic or just plainly twats? A guy bothers to explain a technical issue, another person replies with an ironic comment. Some guy mentions a past game, the whole chat just explodes. Some other dude calls a guy a lucky cunt, the guy reacts as if he was challenged to a renaissance duel and so on, a never ending circle of normalized twatness. As if being sarcastic and antagonistic on an fse thread, for a tournament without a price, will elevate you into alpha male status in the pack. It's almost as if most of you here drop bloody egg cells and everyone needs to cope with your periods homones. Jeez people.

My Elaborate plan on how to tackle the 10 team tournament.

Spoiler

[close]

Jokes aside, I don't mind imbalance, it offers possible upsets and a different kind of competition. I just felt that this tournament's doctrine was followed VERY loosely, if at all.

Great gf against the 55th yesterday, and despite with us winning 15-13 it was a pretty close match that could go either way! GG

Low-key bragging

So we've had an idea of something we did once a NWWC years back that no one carried on. It'll be sorta like a Champions League Europa setup. Basically we'll be doing the normal format to start, groups will be seeded/balanced, etc. So let's say we have 4 groups of 4. 2 from both advance, the 2 who do not go into a separate knockout tournament that will be considered league 2 almost. This should have at least 8 teams in it based on who we think will come as well league 1. This is not like a loser bracket where you can still get to the finals it'll be completely separate from the winners side and will have its own final/bronze match. No teams will be enlisted into the league 2 after the group point so no big teams can suddenly appear to win this if they lose and the 'weaker' teams can have more close matches and play for longer.

I always wondered why this wasn't standard NWWC practice.
