For the record, I think you have done just fine with this Benga!

It is tough to decide where to draw the line... obviously most of the clans above 20 shouldn't be playing in this but I think that the ones below 20 should look forward to it. We are proud of having won the first one and it wasn't a cake walk to do it. Some of the clans involved were Pig Renters, TNC, Grim Reapers, AKA, and others.

This event has prestige to it because you have to win multiple wars. Also, Sometimes you have new clans form like fallen. I am not sure if they will join or if they even want to but they can. There are many clans that are not so new anymore but they are still trying to improve all the time (RA comes to mind). I think that this event should still be something that clans like that strive to win.

Maybe a name change could be in order but I can't think of any good suggestions. All I know is that I totally agree that it can't be limited to strictly new clans and that it is a very fun event to participate in. If we didn't win and we still qualified, I am certain that we would join again because it is more than just a war and it is worth winning. Some new clans may not like the thrashing they get but at least they will understand how competitive you have to be to get even near the top 20.

For the record, the Fallen are considering it.
It will depend on timing, our guys gotta finish some past war games.
I believe some 25-30 must finish by the deadline.
On top of that we have some planned vacations and what not, so we are evaluating it now and will decide once we get closer to the deadline.

Either way, it looks to be another good year for the event.

I agree with this completely. Our clan is very new and we got our butts kicked by the second last placed clan MB and (a higher clan) TNC. I think that the newer clans will not have as good an idea of how good they really are until they are matched up with clans such as AKA, Pig Renters, TNC, etc. Getting thrashed by TNC was an excellent experience for us because we now know how hard we need to work at it to have a shot at moving up. Our clan with MB was VERY helpful because even though we out ranked them in several games, the players who had the most teamwork and played with each other a lot won the game the majority of the time. This stressed communication and familiarity between players to our clan. So any new clans who are afraid to join this, don't be. Join up because I can garuntee even if you get your ass handed to you on a silver platter round 1 (like we likely will, lol), you will take so much away from this experience.

On behalf of the Grim Reapers, I would like to nominate LHDD for this tournament.

Thanks man!

If we do lose this final, it would be fun to be a part of this tournament. But we do not intend to lose this one

I mean we are new (clan started less than 1 year ago) We only played 2 wars outside of the NC2, 1 victory against DBC and 1 loss against ID.

GR wouldn't qualify as they are ranked 20th and it's only for 21st and lower. I think the exception should be made, especially if you guys go 0-2 in the NC Finals. Just my two cents, but I'd lobby for your to play.

I would say loser should still get to play.

The problem is that it won't be over by the time this one starts, so neither will be in.

[IcePack]

An exception being made for a 20th ranked clan is one thing, an 8th rank is completely different. Whether they lost or not I wouldn't be "for" any top 10 clan that's "new" entering the competition. Its completely against his entrance criteria.

Yeah, I was just talking about the exception for GR but as chap pointed out, it is irrelevant as they won't be ready by the time this one starts.

[NoSurvivors]

I dont think 20th or 8th should be in frankly, but I mean... thats up to the maker to decide. lol. Benga's call.

[reptile]

so who is in charge of the Individual challenge threads? (As in which clan?)

thats between the two clans.

I'm not sure if we need to report this but IF has taken an insurmountable lead against RH.

It was well played and we are proud to have come out on top.

[reptile]

Nice job IF, great showing. Hopefully good enough to make people forget the shitty showing that whoever you played against brought. lol
