Nations / World Cup?

Post by MinatO »

Hello all,

I heard from Evilan that once this SFL season is over, there will be no SFL until after summer.
It will be a long time until there's another tournament, since the current 5on5 league season ends already on 10/05/15 which means that there will be no 5on5 league for 3+ months.
My 2on2 tournament will also end somewhere in June.

I think it's important to organise something on the side, to avoid that the game goes as dead as it did in 2014.

So few weeks ago I saw a reference to the Nations Cup/World Cup that was suppose to be organised 3 years ago but never happened. This got me thinking and I think it's perfectly possible to organise a 3on3 Nations Cup.

There are 2 roadblocks to organise this succesfully:
*Teams
*Servers

*Teams: with a little brainstorm, I think we should be able to get at least 8 teams:

-USA (Ohtiff, ...)
-Canada (Acadie, Trekker, ...)
-Belgium (MinatO, Bundy, Hate, Fabel, Fluxy, Sweet, ...)
-Netherlands (Emirate, Smoke, Persian, Dutch, HayO, Evilan, ...)
-France (Prorace, Drake, ...)
-England (Dende, Denial, Keifer, Raptor,
-Switzerland (Djeje, Julien, Niko, Ender)
-Sweden (Junior, Butcha, Voltage, Robin, Meffy...)
-Poland (Jarek, Bred, Strynix, Maker, Shark, ...)
-Others:
We could be flexible by letting people for the country of their origin if there are enough players of that origin.
For example Kadir and Adem are of Turkish origins but live in Netherlands.
Same for Huso who has Marrocan origins but lives in Netherlands.
Not sure if there are other NL players who have origins from Marrocco or Turkey.
As for US/Canada, there are quite some players in sof but I'd need help from Trekker or so to contact the other players.

*Servers

I think we should try to play the football system here.
Arrange servers per country and let teams play home/away to even the odds.
This might motivate our Canadian and US players to join the tournament.

What do you guys think?

Since there are too much NL players we can group it in 2.

Real NL(origin) players,
( emirate, hayo, dutch, ........ and so on )

And NL players that arent actually dutch.

( Kadir, Huso, Adem, Evilan, .... and so on )

Not a fan of mixing too many countries. Beats the purpose really, then we might as well do "MIXED" TOURNAMENT.

Poland has enough sof players for a 3on3 I believe. Switzerland should be "tight" with only 4. France will definitely not have enough I think, I don't know if there are still any other French players left.
As for Germany, there isn't a single German in SOF anymore (at least that i'm aware of).

In other words, NL WHITE and NL BROWN?

Mhm I thought Huso had Marrocan roots.

Canada, I know Acadie, Funky, Nas, Myself and 2 more players that came in once in a blue moon.

I have more LAN Party players, will talk to them but doubt it since I had already mentioned it to them.

US has more, Ohtiff, Beaver, Machine, Enemy, Brad, AndrewTheGiant that could be contacted with few more that others might be able to contact.

Backbone Fibre in Canada still not that good, there is no longer the question of distance but OC used 128/ 256. Players from Texas ping lower to me (South Western Ontario) than players from New York!

Funky, some 3,300 KM closer to Europe than me, pings higher than me to Europe, !!

If Countries are to be mixed, Can't call it World Cup, then again, why not

Can NL divide in to cities, regions or even neighborhoods? Any country with surplus players for that matter.

I can get an OVH/ Kimsufi 600/ 600 with datacenters in Montreal and Toronto, not sure if any in the West Coast.

I personally don't mind my high 90s/ low 100s ping to Europe.

Why not? Make a setup which will let you determine a winner in 1 evening.

Before the nation cup will be hosted, the Dutch first has to fight out a intern war about who can be part of the team. Because If you allow two teams then all Dutch players will demand a spot. In the last Nation Cup, two dutch teams decided to do a 5vs5 to determine who is the official dutch team for the nation cup.

the sky is already turning orange (official color of the Dutch people)... the Dutch civil-war is coming...

Then I suggest somebody else to organise. I'm not motivated to host a "mixed tournament".
