Is it too soon for another Nationscup?

ClanBase look set to host another NationsCup competition in the early part of January, but with the last Nationscup just over three months gone, and teams aiming for post-CC5 stability, is it too soon for another NC? Does NC fatigue risk devaluing the competition?

No, an NC is never too soon.
Sure, why not have them monthy?! Plenty of worthless NC action then!
Parent
an nc ? :<
Parent
NationsCup!
Parent
an NC sounds better :<
Parent
if u pronounce just N, it's said something like "en", so therefore it got vowel as first letter and needs the article "an" :)
But if u think about it as nations cup, then it would need "a" in front
Parent
Let's wait and do it after new year. This christmas stuff now etc.
QuoteClanBase look set to host another NationsCup competition in the early part of January
Parent
maybe at the end of January it will be better !
Parent
with the final just played 2 months ago :-s(14th September 2008) start new one already?
NC's roll around every month now, taken any prestige right away from it.
INDEFFERENT

my country [Belgium] wont participate or will be med- max
NC should be twice a year tops… the fragmentation at the top be tiring, time for some uniformity.
meh, I enjoyed CF's NC but tbh they are nothing like they used to be.

Even with clanbase being the traditional cupholder, they just can't get that something that made the older nationcups what they were.

Oh and I'm sure every year UK gets worse :/
Parent
nc from cb =/= nc from cf...

it's because crossfire organised their own nc this summer that we have them so soon after each other. cb nc is once a year in the start of the year..
zomg clownbase retards too many nc stop killing et kk tnx
Parent
Anyway, clanbase is running the NC for all the games it supports, they dont care if a NC has been done for ET during the summer.
If CF ran a NC for more games, maybe that would have changed things for them.
Lets just consider this summer NC just as a "fun" NC and lets play the serious one.
(well, i wont play, but some will.)
as long as there are enough decent players for each country then sure, anything that keeps the game going.

edit: or maybe a different cup; continents? although i guess EU would just rape everyone.
ummm yes. I mean come on think about the logisitics of it.... It is way too early to host another, it would be a nightmare.
better start at the end of january / begin of february imo
What jere said.
What slajdan said.
what mike said.
Indifferent.
more events for et means longer lasting of et, more life in community :)
true but imo there still should be some events that are so called big event's that take place once a year like ec/nc or ok twice but that the maxbecause that will make the event more highskilled and wanted
Parent
Usualy NC's have the opposite effect, making teams split and pracc less and new teams form.
Parent
what Ati_ said.
I find it irrelevant, when the cup is going to be played again.
Let it start at the end of january and we'll be most likely playing it !
i want to see the new belgium team^^
Parent
I think you really don't
Parent
weellll said lääääd
Parent
What jere. worm, dnl, slajdan, m1ke and ArtstAr said.
It's definitely too indifferent for another NC.
what Testi said
I think its ok to have another one :)
I think it would be cool if I could play in a country.
2 early
Too soon. Nationcup should be one of the biggest ET tournaments which is only held maximum 1/2 times a year. If you start one every 4 months then it's more like a random cup where none of the NC teams are motivated to perform well since there's a second chance in a few months ..
no1 has ever took nc serious :) always clans over nation
Parent
Quoteno1 has ever took nc serious :) always clans over nation


first sentence is completely wrong
second one is right
Parent
how is it wrong? what team has put put a lot of effort for nationscup?
Parent
Maybe not the last 2/3 seasons but therefore NC teams have always been praccing. And that's not my point, I just meant that NC is a special event which should not be every 3/4 months because then it just becomes another random cup to keep us busy ..
Parent
there is nothing special in nationscup and CB NC is once a year like always, its the main Nationscup imo so its not too early now
Parent
put in some prizes
nc never gets prizes... EC sometimes does... if cb find some decent sponsors...
Parent
I remember we were discussing some sponsorship within the CB crew but unfortunately there weren't enough things that CB could offer at that very own moment...
Parent
well i wouldn't know about it since sponsorship is always something the management does... i am no where near management ...
Parent
Quotenc from cb =/= nc from cf...

it's because crossfire organised their own nc this summer that we have them so soon after each other. cb nc is once a year in the start of the year..


you be blaming cb for xfire's tournament, you be bad!
not really but cb started nc's and in et to many people started organizing them(not only cf...) i don't see the need for 3 different organizations to hold the same tourney 3 months apart...

cf and cb's nc were nearly half a year apart and were quite well timed so i can't blame them for that ...
Parent
I meant to put yes :-S
team uk are gonna need at least 3 months to argue over the captain
I lol'd :D
Parent
Probably need more time than that, let's be honest
Parent
checked etnation if u had started already but no :(
Parent
I loved the ETTV matches, pls. a next one next year!
yes

the new announcement suxx
please dont :x
[x] No

it will keep players occupied, this is always a positive thing for a relatively old game.
Seriously WTF ? CDC is in the middle of December and NC will start maybe in the middle of January. Where is the problem ?
a better question would be: "did Crossfire nations cup tire the competition?"

Clanbase holds the cup every year in January :)
Nope, time for me to pwn the rifle!!
Dunno, Its up to the rest of the team for me, Mamut.si is undecided on this question.
Team Latvia looking for sqzz.

/pm
msg LatviaKurbads
Parent
rl or police got him :(
Parent
too soon! we sitll have to find play0rs;o
u still have time till the end of january .. :P
Parent
its not like any team is praccing for any event anyway
what happened to the clan/team nations cup idea? (e.g. 8 european, 2 nth america, 2 sth america, 2 japan, 2 australia).
too early...nationscup is getting boring
every 3 months a nationscup from now on....

will be nothing special then :/
ET is over :)
no its not too soon, it should start in the end of januari as it always is.. the nc from cb is the only true one, dont care about the fake NC's. 1 in the beginning of the year and 1 in the end :)
btw i voted wrong, it should have been "No" :O)
the last one wasnt a clanbase one it was a crappy xfire one
at least Scotland Pedro did a really good coverage, and only for that I wouldnt call the CF NC a shitty one.
Parent
on the other hand, some national line ups were a complete joke
Parent
That's true, but that's also why they made a summer NC. That was meant to favor the mixed teams due to vacations, regardless of the team level. And that's why the CB NC remains the true NC. But CF did a good job with the tournament even tho the teams weren't all up to it :)
Parent
Early january would be ideal niggaswetenzelf.
Voted yes, but i meant no
Since i forgot it was cf's nc last summer.
Bartichello makes sense listen to him.
team UK should have basically been called team england. And next nations cup they should have a scottish team in it theres more than enough players too play.
Jinosta, razz and slasheh have all been involved in the at least one of the last two nations cups!
Parent
didnt see slasheh or jinosta play once last nations cup watched all the games didnt see them play , and razz cant remember if he played 1 game but no more than that supposed . the team that played almost all the games where mztik,grim,west,syk,hentai,kye and you.
Parent
with the likes of those well known english players Wales sqzz and Wales syK ?
Parent
sqzz didnt play last nations cup.
Parent
ofc not :D
yep! thats true
ofc. yes. i dont want to see 12983123879th sort of nation teams in CF nation cup.
cbNC>cfNC
what id actually like to see is smth like an "amateur NC" no not noobs-only ... but there are enough med clans around and some of those players are also playing really nice but as the most players competing in a "normal" NC are from high +++++ teams and those teams try to take the best players from their countries (which of course this is about ...no boubt...) some of these "med" players wont get a chance to play NC which is not based on them being #ubernoob because of others "being better" i think noones going to understand my point anyways so simply :

no :<
UgandaTeam Uganda ftw!
Don't.
