So let’s just ignore someone like Maskman who knows next to nothing about leading and the capabilities of regiments performing well in a linebattle type of event.To state that anyone on a “good day could beat the 77y/15thYR” is just a meme of its own, if that was the case why don't you beat the 77y or 15thYR then!?
Which i did, against known and reputed player, some of them considered legend, such as, Mandarin, Ledger, Tiberias, Herishey, Hokej, Troister, Axiom, Evanovic, Stark, Eddie, Jammo, Bagins, Freddie, Python. I didn't had a good relationship with most of them, but i congratulate them for what they did, and i had pleasure facing them.
I swear there was a 2v2 last year but perhaps I'm mistaken.
Rikkert needs to update his tournament list the lazy cunt reeeeee
Thanks to everyone involved in the making of this edition of the EGS. Our group was closer than I would have expected it to be but that made for a better show in the end and although we (EyeFuckers) can share some regrets about the CCCP & Invictus matches, Animals was just one or two level(s) above us last night. Props to them for their excellent showing by the way (regardless of the Barro's incident) and congratulations to Envy for winning the tournament. Personally, I didn't enjoy myself as much as I expected to and putting some thinking into it, this had nothing to do with the quality of the hosting (which was pretty much in line with most of the EGS tournaments I have attended in the past) or the performance of my team, which although disappointing, was still as intense as it gets. I was genuinely really looking forward to playing in the EGS again, spent some time getting back in form on MM or playing practices with my team the week prior but eventually, I didn't find the same fun I previously had once on the server. It is very likely that it is I who has lost the spark and I certainly do not wish to apply my personal case to the remainder of the scene but as I see the fact that more and more people are 'leaving' the game to be made more evident (some bound, just like to me, to come back eventually) I wondered if it's not also the right timing to re-consider the tournament environment we live in. The EGS was initially thought of as a tool to encourage the highest and most 'professional' level of competitive groupfighting but for a community that was also equally highly competitive. If the latter changes, maybe it is worth to atleast reconsider how we approach the whole thing. Again, it's probably just myself not finding the same enjoyement and it should not mean others cannot enjoy the system as it currently is offered to the community. But I am curious to hear other opinions about it.
Ah that might be it yeah, before that I remember playing one with someone that defo wasn't too long ago but maybe it was a few years now.

But I am curious to hear other opinions about it.EGS League 2 is great to be honest. We have many upsets, many rises and downfalls throughout the season and we've had sooo many different tournament winners so far, it feels like every team can beat every team with a bit of luck and the momentum. I cant judge about League 1 since it seemed often times one-sided with Envy winning, some "weaker" teams having no chance at all. Obviously you cant have that many teams fighting for the victory in League 1 aswell but it felt like the skill gap in League 1 was slightly too big. I haven't really made up my mind to find a solution to get the attraction to EGS as the tournament format back again without making like random teams or forbidding certain team lineups ...
I feel like having drafted teams with the same tournament idea would be a better choice for next season, the teams would be more even and closer skill-wise for every team thus making it more competitive for everyone.
