Don’t fix what isn’t broken. The adjustment requested would prove to become an annoyance to many and it’d also be particularly petty to give teams a minor warning because one of their guys forgot to change his name back.

really wouldnt be that much of an issue. it’s not like minor warnings mean anything, and im sure admins wouldnt kick entire teams right after the rule takes effect just cause theyre not up to date.

knowing who you play against right then and there in officials makes the situation just a little bit more simple.

I see no reason to restrict teams under premiership for nicknames.
We set higher standards for prem since they’re the front end of the league. Adding other divisions to this rule for the off chance they will get casted can do more harm than good if you’re looking at the amount of warnings teams are picking up.

We expect teams to upload a status screenshot, this enables the opponents to check who is who and if there’s a merc he will be listed as red on the status parse. (if you’re asking for this rule for verification purposes)

That said, we still hold every player to the general rules:

2.5 Abusive chat, nicknames and avatars are not welcome

Try not to use the chat function during a match unless it is in a positive manner. Any offensive chat as well as spamming binds may lead to a warning for your team. Chat abuse and racist or offensive names/steam avatars will not be tolerated and may be punished with warnings or bans.

I like how kkaltuu and emb are on different pages. “We are planning” and “I see no reason to restrict”.

emb making up rules on the spot without conference will do that I guess

No, I like to make mindgames with it, like using my sub’s nickname or a friends nickname people shit on before and is proving his value in a division proper to his skill set.

It’s also funny to change around a bittle

I’ve seen more div 1 matches being casted in the last few weeks than prem matches… Having 3 out of 18 players with a fake nick sucks for the viewers trying to read huds, killfeeds and keep track of who is who if they don’t know the entire team roster.

Also, playing in any Nations/One Night/Fun Cup the current rule doesn’t ‘apply’ to users with fake nicks, since most of them consist of mix teams. If those are getting casted the casters/viewers don’t necessary know who’s who.

Adding other divisions to this rule for the off chance they will get casted can do more harm than good if you’re looking at the amount of warnings teams are picking up.

Then announce the rule change in a big way and start enforcing it when the next season starts?

Perhaps make an example out of prem, div 1 and div 2 teams fake nicking IN OFFICIALS and every player will know that ETF2L officials have to be played with the ETF2L username you supplied.

It’s even possible to create a server plugin to check the ETF2L xml api based on the players’ steamid and force a nickname/tag (like ESEA does), but that might be taking it a step too far :P

Whyyy would you do that? I don’t think I can choose between my two names.
