It's rather bittersweet and I have to say my first reaction was the same as George's, thinking it's a shame that a recent challenge has to be re-enacted all over again. But then as I thought more about it - and also read numerous posts in which the protagonists were looking for sweet revenge - I drew the conclusion it wasn't such a bad thing after all.
That aside it also doesn't do to mess with the seedings or it made the whole exercise futile, plus someone is bound not to be happy with an amendment.
I'd say let it stand. It's great that it's all come to fruition so rapidly. Well done Chuck et al.
Being from KORT and one of the rematches, I am glad we get it. We get a chance to clear out some demons for us.
Also Thanks for Chuuuuck and Empire for putting this one. It is gonna be a great cup.
Being from one of those demons and not having participated the first time around, I'm also looking forward to this rematch. G1 is always underrated. For the most part I think that's because of a few reasons 1) we want everyone in our clan to participate that wants to and won't hold someone out simply because their score isn't "high enough" 2) most of the G1 players are willing to play anyone and everyone. We play in a lot of tournaments and sometimes that costs points that some of the higher ranked players are afraid to lose. We all saw what happened to the rankings of JR and Blitz when they started playing a lot of tournaments but clearly they're still good players. 3) Our players tend to be well rounded and able to play on any map but not specialists on one or two. This can cause us to lose games to specialists at times. This isn't to say that any other clan is wrong to do things differently than we do but it does cause us to be underrated IMO
I disagree. I think most people respect your clan, but I don't think G1 is top ten. This has nothing to do with the rank or score of your individual players, and I don't think anyone else judges you guys that way. The tie against kort was nice, but overall you guys have a loosing record. Your clan has 3 wins and 5 losses in clan wars. I just can't see putting you guys in the top 10 with that record.
No doubt you guys are good, but there are a lot of goo clans in cc now. The top 20 are all good clans I think. I think G1 is about #15 imo. I think that loosing by a close margin to a good clan shows something, but if you have lost to 5 clans then it would be hard to put your clan above them. 4 of them are or were top 10, DV I don't think was. That's too many though. Best win is over AOD. I would rank G1 somewhere around BSS and AOC. All respectable, but a few spots out of the top 10.
If G1 could beat O&H then I would think maybe you guys move about to about 11th or 12 in my opinion, but you have to get to a winning record and beat an ID or nemesis or someone like that also to get you into 10 or 9th. Just my opinion, based on looking over clan records. But I am, admittedly, going heavily off of past performance and not so much off of knowledge of your players and recent changes.
i already see us in finals against TOFU, they had all the luck in the world there and manage to get to 30-30, and we are in "one game, winner takes all" situation. and i need to beat CoF in no spoils(not going to happen), or let someone else from Nemesis play that game(even less chances then beat CoF
)
or you are forgetting im filling HA's chair until he is back so i need to be more like him
and i think its a creative one... lets say you really end up tied with someone, why not use more players to decide? it would be fair, imo
), and the challenge will be decided by 9 players, not only by 3
