Proposed 9th team

[Zak]

These players still need a team, I suggest they all band together, and form this competitive roster:

Headhunter
Milk Man
Myrkridon
Shadow
Spooky
Toxyn
Nitro
Arsenal
Acab

[par73]

more than 9 teams would be better

Ageha is on the cards. I just sent a reminder to ginga and he said he knows about it and needs to think it through.

Hey ! I wanna win, not just take second place with Myrk.

[spookyBMF]

If the amount of teams is restricted to 8 then why not increase the amount of players allowed to register with a team (to 16 or something)? Unless there is still a shortage of teams or teams with players?

[adrenaline]

there is no such restriction... the more teams, the better.

[headhunter]

For the record, this would be a good team.
Shadow and Myrk, you should really consider this, or something along these lines.

[par73]

This would be a dope team

However I don't think I've ever seen success from a "proposal" or "rabble squad of remaining players" team ever. Someone should take a leadership role and see what players they can collect from this.
There are a few other potentials of course.


And as always, while the goal of the upper tier teams in MWC is to "Win"

the goal of lower tier teams is to provide at least one upset in the tournament, if not more. That is what it has always been for lower tier teams. While some players, sure, want to 'win it all'; the value of a team that is not in consideration to win at all should be striving for upset games and upset matches. They can do it.

even when we had 32 teams in 2006 (ok, about 28 after you don't acknowledge the dummy teams), you know what happened? TCOX, who was ranked out of the top 4 (for sure), made it to 2nd place. While tcox had very little chance of beating the overpowered Np 06 squad (who also had grim and arz, two of tcox's most important players), they beat teams they were predicted to lose against (starting with nfdf, then Smurf Legion, then BIA3 , then BME) and became top bracket champions. Tcox might have averaged lower in Point differentials compared to nfdf, bia3, and bme, but it was an underdog performance rising to the top no doubt.
That is what is valued in underdog squads. This is what I'd like to see.

I could see this roster beating 2/8 of the rosters in this tournament (FOR SURE) if effort and performance were managed properly.

[Dantski]

Sorry to burst your bubble but TCox in 06 was not a bunch of average players (how many of the 06 team were on the 07 team that was considered super stacked that year?), yes they got a couple nice upsets but beating nfdf and smurfs was an upset to noone.

[wwo]

Wan't that the year they were called "NPCox"?

[adrenaline]

npcox was '07 wasn't it?

[East Wind tmnt]

Well in the context of that year - the '06 tcox team was definitely an underdog compared to BIA, BME, . They had guys like Ed, Karma (new @ that time), Carniflex, and that was Paris's breakout year as a good player - this was a "weaker" tcox team than the old cox teams with arz, grim.


PS even though trix played for kramer o:

[Myrk]

I'm leaning towards just not playing. I wouldn't consider teaming with limp or zak, if I teamed with gkg again his team would have way too easy a time curb stomping everyone, and the other teams lack any kind of captain, so all options look to be a waste of time.

[rawr]

myrk, if i land ducky as cap, which im trying. play for WTC

[Honkey]

Lol... the ducky captain cycle goes again. #1- he doesnt show up half the time (pretty bad to hinge your team on a busy player) #2- See his des strategy in MWC finals against NC, with a chance to win the match not only does he pick a light map (when tbc faired much better on dark vs NC) but on top of that he does arguably the worst strategy in the history of any important mwc match ever.

You are better off offering myrk the captain role, or any of your other players. Stop being so delusional.

[Myrk]

I actually have to agree with honkey. Ducky should never, ever captain again.

[par73]

if Myrk capped that team over honkey, they would probably do a lot better in the long run.

[rawr]

myrk i sent you a message

[Myrk]

I don't want to commit the time to captain.

[Asmodian]

Surprised you aren't considering playing for Tcox, they are supposedly added Zer to the roster who was on yesterday and I could see CW fitting well with that roster as well (not sure if that is something they have looked into). Also Gamer is a solid captain.

If you and cw were to play for tcox I think you guys could contend for winning it all.

nah trix played for kramer in 2005 when kramer was on HoA and trix was on Bia2

[Asmodian]

so HoA cheated in their victory vs my team in a series that game down to the final game? I'll count that as a win and bottom bracket final appearance for The Living End.

[c⁄J⁄Iılk c⁄J⁄Iån ◊§t◊]

I'd rather play with Ducky, if possible, and have fun.

[Myrk]

The last time I played on a team with Zer he shit the bed repeatedly, cost us games, and then publicly blamed me for his own screwups. No thanks.
Prior to his addition I considered joining tcox since they have some good players, but they still lack a captain.
I'm just not one bit interested in playing to get 4th place.

[pallidice]

MYRK the point in playing is to have fun in a competitive challange. so underdogs have more fun than if u were on a stacked team where its easy as shit to win. makes u try harder and step up ur game. if u just are looking to secure 1st place u might as well just say i joined the top stacked team and i won first place and not play at all. make it a challange and join the underdogs. make sure its with players u like to play with thats half the fun.

There you go. Like I said happens.
