both team members (the players, nothing to do with management or org) get along quite well.
Both teams have upcoming restrictions to availability, while all players will play for the merged team, there maybe be times when even fray wouldn't have the numbers available.
Regardless, none of this hate for team merging was brought up for any of the other mergers. Just fray and Avant because they are 'stronger' teams. So this reaction to merging is subjective, rather than an objective view on 'team' or 'rules'....
If Byrnsy has an issue with this merger and wants to separate the teams then thats up to him and we will follow any instruction given.
How 'bout we all just get on with having some good games
Where is the hate? We're merely discussing things on a forum and providing feedback
All i know is, IXL is going to have a much harder time taking games off the powerhouse's that are in this league.
But looking forward to the challenges that await.
Hey I just want to give everyone an update because its taking longer to do than I realised because of the remaking of the formats and so on.
I've had a couple of problems making the groups up and its taking a bit longer to sort out because of some problems with ESL members internet.
Do not fear we're still working on making this an awesome cup. We are planning to start after IEM so as not to clash schedules with the people flying to the event.
can we just get a round idea of how many teams have been set up?
Looking back on it, i'm really starting to hate on the idea of thee other powerhouse teams merging together and really destroying the idea behind a team based tournament.
This should come back to the players/coach's/team that play the game better, not necessarily tipping odds in favor to make up for a poor excuse that i find is my roster isn't full.
I'm sorry go out and recruit some players then, put in the effort to train players make new friends and bonds.
Not about the cash dollars at the end.
Things are almost sorted out. Some of the ESL Admins were at IEM Singapore so we are a bit behind.. but should have info and announcement within the next few days with the groups and schedule.
