No GG to Spain.
It wasn't a good fight, I won't deny it, but I won't scold the victory (of 3rd place) the Spanish have achieved, they fought hard for it.
Nonetheless, I think it was an unbelievable dick-move to force another team to play on a date that didn't suit them, as well being as stubborn not to play any other days.
Despite the agreement being in place I believe both sides knew that this was a bad idea. Maybe I shouldn't have given in, maybe I should have been more stubborn. And sure the first match we played you played on a day that didn't suit you. But you were 12+ last time and around 12 this time so the 'we can't play saturday' suddenly turned into 'hmm ok we can' without any problems whatsoever. I was able to bring 8 maximum, and that was pushing our limits on a friday.
I also think it's a fault of the admins to force a match to be played within the weekend that clearly was impossible for either team. But that didn't seem to make any difference to the admin who gave the final 'ok'.
I'm not usually a sore loser on events and official fights, but I also know when people deserve credit, especially for being honest or making an effort to give both teams a fair chance. Which was the absolute opposite today.
So I hope you enjoyed that fight guys cause I don't believe you've earned that victory.
Last time, you forced us to play Saturday, and our people cancelled their events not only in Warband but in real life, to attend the match (commitment). If your guys couldn't do the same this time, well, it's a shame. We would had liked to play 12vs12, but it wasn't possible. We said "Friday, you choose the hour", though, since we yield last time. And you agreed to play 8vs8, then it was 8vs7 in the first rounds. It's not really our fault, you know.
No admins have forced you to nothing, if I am not wrong, so don't blame us. We don't give only the weekend to play but the whole week since the matches are posted (Sunday).
Do you want the third place? It's yours... We had fun playing together, that it's the aim of this tournament.
I will say GG to everyone, not only today, but during all the tournament.
Well fought by the Spaniards, great teamplay. You won the fight fair and square, too bad we weren't able to get enough people today. I'd like to show my appreciation to the regulars who did show up for every battle (and committed themselves to the team), even though the fights weren't always as we expected them to be. We fought well and we'll definitely be back next nations cup.
Oh yeah, and;
