Hi, Im from Czech Republic and we are ready for ETF2L Nations Cup, now Czech TF2 community choose your captain ^^

Good idea but bad timing. Do this in August or something and I’m all for it. Though Finland will play no matter when and where, I just took the opportunity to update the team. Now we field a larger lineup from where we can choose the players as they are available.

As a member of the dutch team id be happy to get these nations cups started as soon as possible BUT in the coming 2 months i (and with me prolly many others) will be on holidays for a few weeks spread over the whole vacation. So organising a cup then will leave the teams with halffilled rosters and will force them to get weaker players playing the games as they need to get a team fixed. For this reason id rather see the cup organized NOW (ive got vacation already :p) or do it next two months and give the teams loads of time to schedule the matches. Also, you guys might want to move it to the winter because there should me more crowd then.

My opinion in the etf2l/esl cup is: I cant see the problem with playing both, even if they are organized at the same time. The more the marrier :)
And i would welcome american and canadian teams but isnt it a bit strange for an european tf2 league to get those teams playing? Might better do those teams in some sort of “supercup final” with the best european teams

cheers, vlijm

If players can’t make the nations cup, you use other players. Yes it might not be your best team, but you don’t reschedule Euro2008 if a player is injured.

I agree USA and Canada probably shouldn’t be included as timezones are issues and because its a European league. They could be included though if it is a fixed schedule.

To be hounest, i would much rather see the whole event played over a period of a few weeks, in a similar format to the Euro2008 football league. E.g., groups playing on the same night, then the next night another group plays. This would allow more publicity for the actual event, rather than people wondering when a certain game is played. It could also be spammed in IRC/Websites.

I agree with AcidRenix and Riemu, that would do the tournament a lot of good!

Coverage, shoutcasting and publicity would all benefit this schedule, and for all the participating teams it would be a good thing because you have some time to focus on the national team instead of playing the games in between normal clan games.

Can any admin tell me how to register a Nation Team, as I will be responsible for Team Luxembourg ?
