Let the games begin!
http://www.gamestv.org/league/1276-gmen-3on3-world-cup/
Every game of the qualifiers have been requested on GamesTV. There is a total of 25!! games to be played as soon as possible.
Here's what should happen next:
If the time and date doesn't suit to you, feel free to contact the opponent's team captain and arrange a date & time as soon as possible, and let timbolina or me know so we can appropriately edit the match on GamesTV!
All of the matches should be played as soon as possible before Sunday the 2nd of March!
Additional rule
In case anyone wonders, when we get to the play-offs, matches where a country might be disadvantaged by high ping should be played either on a UK server if the pings are allright; OR one map on one location specific server and the other map on the other one.
f.e. USA vs BE : either play on a UK server, or one map on US server & the other map on DE/NL/FR/whatever server.
We'll be taking ohurcool's suggestion and do it this way:
// - UK server
- 1 map on a UK server & 1 map on a US server
- US server
These are of course guidelines and they can be ignored if both teams agree to something else.
If you have anything to add on the above rule, please share it with us. We do appreciate constructive feedback!
Thanks everyone for participating!
Let's keep this game alive for a few more years, together!
GL&HF!

My suggestion is to do it the way we did in the last ClanBase ET NationsCup, as explained in this journal.
/ / - UK server
- 1 map on a UK server & 1 map on a US server
- US server
The key is to simply set some reasonable guidelines which can be freely ignored if both teams agree to do so. For example, as biggz commented in that journal I linked, Australians prefer to play on EU servers vs European teams, since 300 ping vs 50 ping works better for them than 200 ping vs 200 ping.
Just my two cents!
edit: my comment was neutral in that old journal so as not to annoy midas at the time but now I don't care!
And it is in my opinion more fair to play in a neutral server in this cases, considering if we play in the UK it is us with 200-250 pings vs oppo with 50-70 pings, while on USA server its more like 150 vs 150.
