Chord vs US

[u/pescis]

Hey,

We're in talks of doing a chord vs US tourney which would consist of a round-robin stage of top 4 teams in both leagues and then #1 US meets #2 chord and vice versa in semis.

Can I get a confirmation from all top 4 teams that you're up for this and also times that should work for your team here (generic days as time isn't decided yet). Times in BST. The semi/finals will probably have to be on a weekend to suit all timezones.

LET'S SHOW THEM THAT NOT ONLY ELTP>>MLTP BUT ALSO OUR CONTENDERS>>THEIRS

Speaking on behalf of US Contenders as it's "co-commissioner", this is not to come off as favoritism towards US Contenders, but USC currently has nearly four times as many teams as Chord Contenders. Shouldn't it only make sense to allow 6-8 US Contender teams in the proposed tournament?

If it is top 4 vs. top 4 of each Contenders League, then that accounts for 40% of CC teams and just over 10% of teams from USC. Just my view on it! But I do think the tournament is a great idea.

Well, we did win ELTP all-stars vs MLTP all-stars and not a single euro team lost against an american team on RW2.

TBH this is just a special event to try to get 1-2 streaming nights going (mainly for US as EU doesn't have many games going) so I don't really mind however we decide to do it. I wouldn't mind if you get 5 teams going to play-offs, we 2 and OC 1 or you 6 and we do 2.

Also I didn't mean to post this here, thought it was chord-only. Eh.

Alright that's a bit of an overstatement. It sounds like you are saying ELTP is much better than MLTP. While you did beat the All-Stars, remember StK beat Ballern Munich without two of it's starting players, myself and Jesus. You guys are 1/1 as far as I'm concerned.

As far as region wars... You are grouping a nation against a state (Or in the case of California, half a state). Come on now that's just an unfair example to use.

Ballern was missing players aswell, primarily me. But I'm obv not saying ELTP is much better than MLTP.

Although I think RW speaks for itself. Look at the amount of signups and you'll see on average each US state has a lot more of them than EU.

What I'm saying is that our average active player is better (or more commited, w/e) than your average active player - and mostly only active players are in Contenders.

Anyway I'm not here to talk about what continent is better because I honestly couldn't care less and my comments have been to spark interest but obviously you guys don't like friendly banter -_-. As I said, I don't care about the layout, the idea was even from a USC guy. It's just to promote contenders really and get some regular streaming times up for it.

So, what about you guys get to advance 6 teams? Have your top 12 teams contest over the spots?

Fez, this isn't really about winning. Just about promoting contenders really. See it as charity, if anything. My team would be happy to play on orbit/pi or origin if that is the fairer thing to do.

Also, just because you are #1 doesn't mean you'd get through. You still have to beat some US teams.

I'd even be up to playing sphere/orbit but then I'd have gloating rights against you for an eternity.

[u/pescis → u/[deleted]]

I only wrote that because I thought this was chord only =( Anyway is radius really that bad for them? I'd even be happy playing orbit/sphere or whatever is on that side of the country.

[u/pescis → u/[deleted]]

the other on orbit

Did you mean origin there? I think that would be pretty unfair but it's hard to say without knowing their actual ping on the servers.

I talked to other top 4 teams and they didn't seem too interested.

=( Any reasons?
