There are few among us who would be willing to die for our countries; There are few amongst us who would be willing to kill for our countries. However, there are many among us would love the opportunity to play ET for our countries right? National pride is something we hold for the country that has kept us healthy, kept us from going hungry, and provided is with that which we require on a day to day basis. Some may argue that their nation gives them nothing, and that they have earnt what is there's, and i'm not here to change their opinion - I simply believe that to represent your nation for something is a great thing, and that we should all be proud of the nation we live in!
So what's my point - well, as many of us know, in ET each nation will have a representative captain who selects a squad of the best players he can find from that nation, and then competes against other nations of similar caliber. However, who decides who's best, who decides who makes these decisions, and how do they choose? Well, having thought about this myself, i decided to write an article, informing the nation of who various players of the community decided they felt should be representing their nation.
How were these votes performed then? Varying from nation to nation, in each situation either the previous or current captain was asked to vote, and players who've competed in the team before. People were only allowed to vote for players considering their own nation. As well as this, players competing in division 1 teams, just short of Nations cup level for some nations were also asked, providing a warm mixture of votes. At the same time, 'friendship groups' were avoided, to help prevent multiple people voting for friends and clanmates, and helping to make the whole survey with as little bias as possible.
Having asked various people from various countries, i had sufficient information to categorise the votes into an article for you, my fellow crossfire readers, to read! Enjoy!

Good article.
but nice to read, although there isnt much to read [:
His aim has always been good, no doubt about that and I heard that he still plays really good (aimwise). But I never played with or against him again (6v6) after that team nl thingy 2 years ago, so I have really no clue how he's playing right now or what he is capable of.
Im not critisizing him, not am I trying to make him look bad, I'm just trying to explain my thoughts about your reply on NxM's comment.
We also never really had a decent riflenade. LiciD always did well when it came down to killing people and doing damage. He also had experience for playing several years (RtCW+ET) already. I have no idea how he's playing at this moment, so can't judge him atm.
When I played with Ati_ in aegruS (when we tried to reach cpc2), I saw that he's a rifle, like a rifle should be. He spams a rifle and then he throws his 4 nades and selfkills. After all, thats the only thing rifles do, right? But I didn't see any great Raveneye or gifty in him. These players can irritate the opponent and are capable to do more then just doing some damage and shooting a rifle.
Never wrote such a long comment. Going to play some poker now, so I'll read your reply (looking forward to it XDD) tonight or tomorrow.

Team-DE Dreamteam: urtier senji butchji ohzor4 Hatred snoop
First place belongs to us GERMANY :DDDDDDD
the only germain was butchji the rest got raped by any nl
my view on nlCurrent (top notch) dutch players playing EC, which are possibly the best choices:
- rocky
- abort
- Lightning
- BuLL
- overboost (doubt he will play)
- kris (dunno if he wants to)
- teKoa
- m1lk
- perfo
Players that might come into consideration:
- Leonneke
- bullvox
- mize? (cb ban or not?)
- LiciD
- Ati_
- modus
- Efax
- AzA
- n30
out of the above probably the best "aim&experience" team would be
BuLL
teKoa
m1lk
rocky
mize
abort
6 strong players imo, only a rifle missing. Seeing as I doubt some of these would play I think the best team with motivated players would be as following
BuLL
m1lk
teKoa
rocky
LiciD
abort
perfo
Lightning
I think those players are most motivated for playing, but I might be wrong though
NxM (capitaan)
foSt
mize
jackie
rocky
N30
Efax
modus
Je rifler hoeft alleen alles vol te spammen en mss een keertje een dyna armen omdat de engi smg gibbed is ofsow.
Kai & ludiii <3
j/k ;)
and uk sux
:DD
Where is Kris in the dreamteam :o
2. the day you get the "allstar-finns" to play together is the day of zEH aRMAgEDDON.
And even more crazy that people are criticising him for the other teams the other nations' players voted for...
Nice job hentai :)
Deutschland : butch, conan, urtier, senji, snoop, ohzor4
Finnland : mystic, xpaz, raveneye, 3 players from the old img squad :-P
Finland : Lepari, Iron, Squall, mikza, Reikkeri, twidi/sanda
Germany: snoop, butchji, hatred, senji, urtier, riddla
Good job, ignore the whine!

Screw riflenades, this lineup would out-aim everyone! :D

I must say teams like Team UK and Team Estonia haven't really shown any strength the last NC season and should be irrelevant teams for this season.
Funny uK dream team lineup btw, dream on :p
That would almost be like saying Norway should be one of the major countries to mention, because we owned back in the beginning of NC with RaZiel :P
[/egomode]
btw, i asked kamz to vote and he said no, so blame him for not voting!
what has kamz got to do with it? or is that some kind of Indian joke? :h

nog goeie lineup dan ook ;p
more cheaters please
i don't see team india on the list
but i agree with mztik/razz/sqzz/sheep/mixer for team uk
adacore > ste tbfh
much like ur football team!
this team would do ok imo =)
Sheep (c) razz, w3st, miXer, mztik, syK.
sheep, razz, mztik are topnotch
miXer in my opinion one of the best rifles and best uk rifle by far even if andeh is also good <3
syK is the best aimer in uk and a solid medic
w3st is a skilled multiclasser who is the most underated player in the uk scene... give him the chance and he'll take it, teamplayer.
conclution
w3st > u ;>
But being good and being good enough to play for your national team is something different.
but maybe I just didn't play him enough to judge that...
Overboost
Abort
GL all ;)
Unfortunately, I doubt that the best players will play, it's sad, would be nice to see allstars nation teams...
By the way, what don't you even mention ? oh K i know xD
postaanpa tonne alas omat ehdotukset.
mut aina on atit, etkä sä ite välttämättä kauheesti huomaa mitä sä teet väärin. pelaa välil smg engiä ateissa ni huomaat mitä medit tekee :p
mut kyllä mä näkisin itteni tai matiaksen tossa listassa ennemmin kuin joitakin muita mitä siel on, mut toi nyt on sun mielipide enkä mä sitä voi muuttaa :P
Ye because team UK has the best players representing it each year and no biasedness is involved in the team selection ..? Yes, clearly Ste, Baggiez, Marvel and Meez were 4 of the best players in the UK last reason :o]!
fact is, in the absence of all these players, last season me/matz/adzz/visore/fazz/mixer were the best 6 active players but it counts for nothing because the problem with team uk is that they don't want the best 6 players playing in the team each year, which is one of their many failures, hence poor performances in past nc's hence why even people from the uk are ashamed of the team and hence why the uk is no longer a leading force in et anymore.
But you fail to remember that uK managed bronze like 2 seasons ago :[
And me (and many others) would prolly be "happy" if the best players were actually chosen, which they are never. Last year, the team was shit .. let's face it, this year if mztik/razz/sqzz/syk/sheep/mixer are the main 6, u will see no complaints from me, why?! because they are the best players, but when ur talking about 1 or 2 of those players possibly not playing and mentioning other alot less skilled players again, it's the same old bullshit over and over
tho he sucked @ slaggin folk off <:
he would be better than any of these players u just mentioned, regardless of his activity ..
sol is irishbtw
senji has been voted the player that team germany needs most. Many will be curious as to why butchji was not voted for as much, but i guess people felt that experience and game sense were of more importance than aim, hence wisely choosing senji.
i rofled at that
rocky getting banned for cheats and his little online skillzz failed to work offline i wonder
!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
I think m1lk is far better and perfo is a great player aswell, but The others have got more experience on the top level. Change it to Milk, or any of these oldschoolers.
Once again, the things stated above are not based on my opinion.
Also Hentai is good enough for UK rifle.
And didn't Ste wipe his hands of any involvement in the NC?
i've asked about 10 fairly decent people now and they've all said u didn't ask them =/
miXer
mztik
razz
crmbs
adacore
you can substitute in syk or sqzz if they are active for adacore, else he deserves his spot there as does crmbs who is just great at times.
west is far better than most of those guys in that lineup but he will not arse lick to get into a mix team full of kids ;)
jauhis
mystic
raveneye
saintt
xpaz
drc
jafo
torspo

More possible team:
Core6:
