Would you participate in TWS?

[Lizard King]

Would you participate in a standard format 2team tourney this winter? It's been a decent to great winter event over the last decade that's brought ppl back during the post MWC lull. CARST YE VOTE.

[Revan]

For some strange reason I find TWS more credible than MWC.. probably because MWC you come to expect more players for a WORLD cup.. I'm in this year if there is one.

[Lizard King]

A few weeks ago par said he would be up for hosting it, I believe that's still the case. You can't really call any 2t tourney over the past years "credible" in terms of care or competition level, but it's still fun.

Well I meant credible in sense of # of players to actually call it a tourney. I think there is still a sense of care among these 'competitive' players, seeing how hard they rage when they point fingers.

[Lizard King]

Oh, well yeah there's still one or two players that still care/rage and pretend like myth didn't peak over a decade ago in terms of care/competitiveness.

[par73]

any scheduling mything event following 2006 is considered a tournament
that's all they ever have been. scheduled mything events.
we all play on a buggy unfinished game so perspectives of whats 'competitive' or not are just as skewed as those questioning a myth event to be a tourney.
some of us are missing out on the aesthetics of what we've all created.

[Pogue]

Depends when it starts, etc.

[rawr]

If the competition is good, I'll throw a team together . 4 good teams .

[Lord---Scary Owl]

I could make a good team, 1 way better than my MWC noob team .

Pray to god asmo doesn't lose the finals with an available sub nearby or his team is full of BC players…

[Lizard King]

Bumped

[par73]

so theoretically, what would those interested put together for teams ?
these ideas/visions need to be heard for this to go anywhere. this could run nov-dec but traditionally its done late winter/early spring

[Lord---Scary Owl]

there is probably still a decent amount of people that would still play. at the least 2, maybe 5 at the most but thats pushing it.

17 voted yes, thats 3 medium teams right there

[Ratking]

I'll throw my hat in the ring

[Ether]

I'd play. I'd like Revan on my team too.

[Lizard King]

If we can get 4 teams, which i think we can, we can follow the usual tws format. When ppl see it's actually happening theyll sign up. Tws traditionally has had a pretty good showing in the past.

[Lord---Scary Owl]

If we were to make a team do we go ahead and start now or what for official confirmation?

[wwo]

Like I just drunkenly posted, keep the top 5 spots on a team fixed, and allow for subs for spots 6 and 7.

[Lizard King]

Looks like we're aiming to host tws January-March. Start getting players together for your teams so you're ready for registration when it opens!

This sounds good to me. TWS has become MWC pre season, which, although it was a larger, Independant, tournament in the past, is a realistic assessment of the times in 2015/16

[par73]

i disagree because it always had a mwc pre season to me. the teams had different blends and mwc-reminiscent cores essentially had the opportunity for tryout practice squads
hosting was usually fun and i got to meet and work with a lot of good people to make it happen
i'd it gained its independence after being seen as a mwc preseason/gimmick and becoming something requested by the players

despite the dwindling numbers and interest i still think we can put together some fun team-based games over the course of 2 months so despite the 2015 tws hiatus it will be returning next year
