too bad i couldnt set up a SWISS team :D
The Belgian teams is all about politics… Not just uA., but multiple other clans have some fine Belgian players who asked to be on the team, they got shipped off and never heard back from the BE teamleader… Our clan is just overflowing with Belgian talent, and it’s a shame none of them got a chance…
I’m just saying some variaty would have been nice… I asked for a try-out and they said they would get back to me, but I never heard from them again (lol)… I’m a pretty decent Scout and Soldier, not by any means highly skilled though, but at least medium skilled I’d say… Ask my clanmates! :p
methoD from wotr³^ is a good Demoman… f0rce of uA, great Heavy and Soldier… It just seems that they didn’t look for any players passed 2-3 “big” clans… It’s a shame because this could have been fun, I think.
^ tru dat. At least i know skinnie and shitfly, great players…
its not about politics , we seriously considered every player. And I know force and method are good players but there were just better players with more experience. Everyone who came to us on irc and asked for a test got a chance to show his skills. (for example arnold from bhd at the time, noone knew him but he owned me in a duel)
if someone thinks they’re better than anyone on the team they should ask for a test or somethin and not flame here..
let me know on irc u if want a duel
bb
i want to duel you skinnie
i talk to you one irc
1v1 spy if that ok with u? :D
Kinda removes the point of “nations” cup when you have full teams fielding for 15 out of 25 countries.
Denmark and Norway should have enough people to choose from to be removed from that list atleast.
And i believe the same is included for Belgium, Israel, Italy, Austria and Poland. Most likely more of them as well.
I’m not flaming… I’m just stating a fact… I asked for a trial, and never heard from you again, a trial for both ESL and ETF2L’s Nation Cups…
You’ve all practiced a ton together, so atm it doesn’t really matter now does it? It would be foolish to bring in a new player when everyone else has practiced so much together…
duel_duel2 means shit, this game doesn’t rely on individual skill alone… Experience? f0rce, myself and methoD have played over 150+ wars, if not more… If you still want a spare Scout, query me (#unbindall), I’m available most nights… I’m not doing a duel_duel2 1vs1 however… Try me out in a real 6vs6 PCW, if you want…
yeh, there’s a lot of belgian players out there in various clans. What’s the point of making these “exceptions” to the rule when the actual teams that follow the rule are the exceptions… :P
I had the impression the rule was meant for countries that basically have about 6 guys playing tf2 in clans ;P
to begin with u dont have to ask me cause i dont make the decision in team belgium (spring&epothon). And at the time when we formed team belgium i think u even hadnt played competitive at all? I think speccing a player during a duel is a good enough method, when theres so many players, to see the basic skill a players has.
and treigzak when we formed team belgium we only took max. 3 players from one clan
This rule was made for all countries who have less then 3 active teams registered.
Ofcourse you can also play with more variety if you are able to (e.g. Norway). Anyway I think the National Team forming was made fairly by everybody countries communities. If there are problems which cannot be solved by the teams themselves please contact us.
@ skinnie: I’ve been actively playing in clans, pickups and wars etc. since this game came out (lol)… Played in various clans, leagues, etc. I’ve got the experience, and I had the experience when I wanted a trial… I just got blown off ir bumped for some reason. #:]
what’s your nick then on irc cause i never seen u on a pickup
I wont have any of this nonsence.. At the time TeamBelgium was formed, I personally trialled over 10 people that i didnt know at that time, and they were mostly lacking HEAVILY on all fronts.
We chose the most experienced players and the most promissing (being arnold who i specced on a game for Rasta at the time, and also included Shitfly and Matt, who both had little to show in terms of previous clans, but showed promis).
And I’m quite sure that you Gatman, never asked me a trial in person, if you did, i would have gladly given you one.
The fact that the new Vale team consists of mainly teamBelgium players is just because we found eachother really well during games, and LRRP and Rasta didn’t live up to the expectations of certain players.
This isn’t a planned thing, it just happened.
Before you ever make such statements Gatman, please come and talk to me before spuwing lies.
