Battlefield 2 Nations Cup

TheHairyFairy

OK guys please have a look at http://www.esl.eu/eu/bf2/news/29462/. Basic premis is :

ESL announces Battlefield 2 Nations Championship
After the success and support from the community of the 8on8 and 5on5 Conquest Summer Cups, and the 5on5 POE2 Opening Cups, we've decided to bring yet another event to the ESL Battlefield 2 Community, this time in the shape of the ESL Battlefield 2 Nations Championship.

It's your chance to represent your country, and earn bragging rights over all your competitors in both 8on8 Conquest and 5on5 Infantry. These cups will be played with the same rules as the SummerCups, but with 1 exception. Only 3 players from a clan will be allowed to play at 1 time for a nation in 8on8 Conquest, and only 2 players from a clan will be allowed to play at the same time in 5on5 Infantry. This will prevent 1 powerful clan from a Nation from dominating the competition. However, if you come from a smaller nation, do not worry, as exceptions might be made for nations where there are only 1 or 2 competitive clans. A players' clan is defined as any team which he is currently a member of, and is active in ESL. In this way, non-competitive teams such as http://www.esl.eu/eu/bf2/team/1201038/ do not count towards the player limit. In the case of a dispute, the admins hold the final decision.

Basically for the 5 v 5 team we can make that up from 2 clans, and for the 8 v 8 we can make it up from 3, though they may allow less.

First things first we need a captain. So we need nominations etc.

Pffft I'm commited

Instant Karma

Count me in, we could probably bend those rules as we would most likely be considered a smaller country with few teams, infact we would probably be considered to have no competitive teams in ESL terms. Still it would be a good laugh to take part.

cobrophy

I'd like to play. I think any of the [BTC] folks will vouch for my committedness.

"only 2 players from a clan will be allowed to play at the same time in 5on5 Infantry"
doesn't this mean 3 clans or at least 2+(1 extra player) will be needed. I reckon it'd generally be a good idea to keep clan players from the same clan together where possible.

Yes, we frequently discuss how you should be committed.

I would think it would be better to divide up the clans, for the fairness, but on the other hand, keep people who are used to playing as a team together?

Right there have been very few responses to this. I also posted a message re this on the NRG shout box last week.

If people are not interested then I will ask people directly to be in a team and move on. An inf team should be easy to build as there are some very good infantry players out there.

As for a full conquest team then again the infantry end of it is pretty much covered, however we will need a dedicated tanker, and chopper pilot and gunner, or even better a pilot who can seat switch and gun.

Leaving this another few days then I'll start working on a team!

Berns

I can fly but even better co pilot. Was doin well with rope when he played i think. Ain't flown in ages so maybe a lil rusty :rolleyes: Useless in tanks though

TheHairyFairy

Hay man, Ya me and my bro are a great Pilot and Gunner combo, Will jump on TS and have a game over the weekend,

psycho_frodo

Count me in ;-)

molc

Yeah sure I'm around for it. Can't be counted on Friday and Saturdays though as usual.

Random

No room for a casual player in all this? Gotta train those 2 hours each night? Gotta quit drinking? Gotta start eating salads? :O

Evd-Burner

Count me in, prob beat all ur asses

Isnt it only 2 players per clan or something and clans have to battle to get to put there players in?

Cudda sworn thats wat it was...

TheHairyFairy

Yeah EVD thats normally the case. However smaller countries with fewer "active" clans as such may be allowed to have more players from each clan. There are a few players at the moment from tig, NRG, and another Euro clan along with a few non clan players so I'm sure we'll be able to russle up a team.

Once we get a captain in place, the first requirements from ESL, we can then look at getting teams selected.

We should have a fairly decent inf team.

Evd-Burner

I can do the trainging organising of the team, ask any of the NRG im a w.anker when it comes to training...

TheHairyFairy

Prob not so much training as everyone knows the game, but more familarity with each others game plays etc.

Evd-Burner

][cEMAN**

Feck I wish I could put my name down - i'd even concentrate on practicing and getting ready for it....sadly though my PC died a few weeks back and I won't be getting a new one (that can play BF2) for a while.

Evd-Burner

when does this start?

TheHairyFairy

Hey all.

I am team captain for both the Inf and Conquest Teams.

Team is registered at http://www.esl.eu/eu/bf2/team/2111472/.

Next steps are :

All players should join and idle @ #bf2.nations on quakenet. All Irish players should do this and also idle in #teamireland.bf2, this is not optional. All players should register an account at ESL and ensure you have the CORRECT information on your player profile, and a picture of themselves uploaded to there profile.

Once this has been done ESL will then award the captain, and the players in your team "National Player" status.

The first playday for this cup, is 3 WEEKS TODAY (November 19th).

So any player that is interested in playing for Ireland in either the BF2 Inf or BF2 conquest competition please register above. I hope to have trials on this Sunday Night, 5th November 2006. I will arrange to have a server set up and add a teamspeak channel to our teamspeak server.

Thanks everyone and good luck at trials and in the competiton.

I predict a first place for UK or america, and dead last for us, or hungary. And thats probably cause theyre all still on dial up in hungary

Evd-Burner

we wont come last not a hope, we are going to come atleast 6th or so, if u go into this with a negative attidude u will come out with a bad score....

We have a good team for this, all we have to do is work together to win and it can be achieved....

Instant Karma

we wont shame ourselves i feel, but we probably wont do particuarly well either.. First time Ireland has been represented by a team in the bf series, so its all experience.

UK or USA first? UK don't have much of a chance and I doubt the USA will be a match for either Sweden or Germany.

R0ot

It'll be one of those eastern block countrys, poland or something, either them or Norway or Sweden. Good luck to yas anyway lads and don't forget to drop us a wee note on each match.

Evd-Burner

We have the potential to come 5th

burner stop with the potential crap, worry about training and beating the next bunch of feckers in a match, don't start to say "we have 'x' & 'y'" and "we can do this" just beat the feckers down one at a time.

Evd-Burner

Think this all kicks off in 3 weeks so we'll see soon scrapper ....
