I honestly would really like to see this format and would be up to support and draw back EGS
but the thing is that all the things you said to plan, was also planned for EGS, or was at least the initial goal. Sadly it didn't work as there were hardly any teams which stayed consistent. There were something about 4 teams playing EGS S2 and S3 (League 1).
Even with with prize money worth 1000€.
Rulewise there have to be more of an incentive to have a consistent roster. Having something like a long season, split in different Splits with locked roster there, could be an idea.
For example making 3 tourneys and having afterwards a window to trade, like you already suggested, could be good.
Yeah as I think I mentioned before, a good chunk of those ideas originally came from conversations that had been had with Voluble and a few other people, which is why when he sent over a word document with what he had planned for Seasons 2 & 3 I decided to hold off on EICS for the time being as it didn't make sense to have 2 similar circuits competing at the same time. But I can't say I was surprised to be honest when I noticed many of those ideas didn't come through to EGS.
I have spoken to a number of team leaders and other individuals that would like to see this happen but as you can appreciate it will take some planning on my end and also some likeminded people to get on board as Admins etc.
I'll be away from Saturday next week until Friday 2nd for hiking and a MILSIM event but once I'm back I'll start properly getting things rolling, but I will speak to a few people during next week and gather any further opinions/ideas - I'm sure I'll send you a DM Dark
Something I need to think of is how we are going to fit those extra tournament formats in to the planned system. As soon as you change lineup sizes (so from 6v6 to 7v7 etc.) things start to become inconsistent, standings/elo wise. Perhaps having an "on and off" set of tournaments could work or we sponsor community driven ones. Or we could just simply do them anyway but I would like it to differ a little more from EGS if possible. Something for me to brainstorm on. Picked a good time to quit drinking.
