I see what you did there.

Some interesting match-ups, like RA vs Myth, ATL vs GR, LEG vs TWD and then TSM vs ATN.

I saw it too.

I think there are some really good ones out there. As soon as I posted the results I started razzing thecrown on Skype...talk about a tough match for a newer clan...

looking like a possible lhdd vs pack in the round of 16!

[IcePack]

Should be fun! Looking forward to it. IF we proceeded to the end our path looks like this:

32: VVV
16: RET/FAD winner
8: ACE likely
4: PACK/TSM likely
Final: TOFU/KORT likely

That's a hell of path.

It's also a hell of a lot of assuming....

That's why I wrote "IF" and not if, and assumed higher seeds prevail which is pretty typical, but not guaranteed. That I figured was just understood

Why is this starting before we even know who is in the final of the previous cup?? This is just crazy scheduling and disrespectful to the clans still playing in the previous edition. Really you should put it on ice for a while.

Talk to your clan reps before you open your mouth here.

Why isnt GON playing KORT in the first round? The 3 seed gets an automatic bye??? I've never seen anything like it

They get a bye because they are CC4 finalists. The other finalist (ACE or TOFU) will get the second bye.

thanks:-)

or maybe the Cup should be run on a tighter schedule so that it only takes a year, 32 clans = 5 Rounds @ 70 days for a round, and 20 days to get it up and running.

There have been format proposal which pretty much solves this problem, which gives to top teams byes in early rounds, so then every next CCup can very much overlap with previous CCup, you can check how the proposed format looked here (format 3a, 3b on the bottom of the post): viewtopic.php?f=443&t=187980&start=60#p4109434
However, on that time Keefie have started his sending secret pms campaign to persuade lower clans to vote against that format proposal, and we have today format which was covered with format proposals 1&2. In terms of tournament duration, format 1 which we use now is not different than format 2 which was random draw, both of them would have the same duration, so only format 3 was proposing different duration. You can check what Keefie did in this post: viewtopic.php?f=443&t=188694&p=4125305#p4125273

Because of his secret vote manipulation with sending secret pms behind the scene, while other players were instead of that writing their proposals in public threads where everyone can discuss them and give counter-opinions, we have today what we have, CCup editions which last longer than 1 years.

Format 3, if it was chosen, or if at least it was given fair voting treatment (not disturbed by his secret games behind scenes) would serve to clan world with two major advantages:
1) One edition of CCup would be several months shorter, because new edition would be possible to start earlier, because clans who progressed longer in past edition would get early byes to round of 16. As a result, clans who were eliminated early would get next chance much faster.
2) Lower clans would achieve more wins in CCup because the proposed format would ensure that two lower clans would play in round 1, and mid clans would join in round 2.

In comparing with this format where lower clans are more or less wiped out by huge margin in early round and then need to wait for more than 1 year until the next edition (some of them even stop to exist in that time period) it is pretty obvious which format is better for all clans, but in particular for lower clans. It is pity there were not enough ears to listen and that egos were too high when it was chance to do something really beneficial for CCup.

Anyone reading this should note that the players posting above are NOT the leaders of their clans. We have been working closely with and communicating openly with the leaders of the clans so as to avoid any issues. If the players above would simply talk to their leadership instead of spouting mindless rhetoric here it would be greatly appreciated. You will also note that my post explaining this previously was completely ignored so as to create an issue for the malcontents to complain about.

Looks like a few matches will be starting soon. So maybe some of this crap will quiet down. Cheers.
