Its kind of worrying when you see regiments like 32e accepted when we have no idea what their roster is, iv seen alot of good big rep players play for them and if they all show up for this tournament, then it is by no means a tournament for "less competitively focused, newer regiments". I mean im pretty sure 32e is a majority 1v1 regiment, maybe attending some casual events recently ( That iv seen) such as the KH wednesday event. But i would not call them a less competitively focused regiment, or made up of alot of new players.
My regiment, has 2 skirm events, and about 4 line events per week, with a 1v1 once every week or 2. This is what i would call less competitively focused. I can only hope that the 32e have been accepted on the basis that their actual skill level is a bit lower than we expect, and it will be a fair and even league. As for the 30th, personally i have not seen these big players such as marksman pinoy etc play for them yet, as we did 1v1 them and ( judging by the 1v1 only) It was safe to say both us and the 30th were tier 2, which is what the league should be.
As for the USMC v 32e 1v1, im pretty sure , and did say that they played like the first 3/4 rounds with a numerical advantage of 3-4 people, as it was a not so serious 1v1, and it was probably expected that the USMC would just shoot the shit out of the 32e in some rounds, hence the 8-2 ( ? ) scoreboard.
