RTCW activity and upcoming cups
Hello RTCW community,
first of all, i want to say sorry for my bad english, but i give my best to tell you my thoughts.
When I came back to RTCW last october, the scene was pretty active. Every day you found some 3on3’s and on some days even 6on6’s. The alliance cup was announced, so the teams went active to practice for the cup.
Nowdays the alliance cup is nearly finished and the community went into a “spring-sleep”. The teams/players which got kicked off the cup have no motivation continue playing RTCW, because NO NEW 6on6 CUP WAS ANNOUNCED YET (except this “maybe soon" from ZeD).
Many players don’t like 3on3’s and as I understand right, the upcoming 3on3 cup will forced to have 8 teams. 8 teams? WTF? You have to buy teams/players or something? Rofl?
In that case only the high+ players get a chance to play in this cup. But we have to wait for more information. Maybe I am wrong.
However. No new 6on6 cup was announced and the players lost their motivation to play that great game.
With MUCH luck you can find on IRC a little 3on3. But not everyday…
Am I the only one who wants to play this game more often? Alright, the osp community have about 100 players and nobody want to search hours and hours to get a little 3on3 or 6on6. But if everyone thinks like that, we all can start deleting this game. I don’t know what alternative the “real” RTCW players have? CSGO? ET? Call of Duty? Battlefield? Come one, we all know that RTCW is the best ;)
But anyway im really looking forward for new information about the upcoming cups. Hopefully there are more players out there who thinks like me :P

To be fair, I was extremely excited and motivated to play when the first cup began. However, after six months of sacrificing evenings it was hard to justify continuing.
I'd definitely like to play again after the coming summer, but I suppose that depends on whether there is a cup or not. I know Warwitch and co are still working hard to provide coverage etc, so I'm sure there would be a market for it.
judging by the amount of questions in here I think you should re-read whatever has confused you because it's not that complicated. :P you don't have to buy anything to play the RtCW 3on3 cup, it's sign up and play.
Im sure with an announcement of a 6on6 cup and much promotion we can reach as many teams as we had in the alliance Cup.
I wouldn't care about this all if i had an alternative game but i don't! Don't like CS and ET is nearly the same as RTCW. A bit more active but i don't like that game, too :D
The donations idea was just a realistic way to raise money for the tournaments which would include people in the scene who do not have the time or believed skill to do so and get better full community involvement. I have held off a lot on announcing anything new because I wanted to wait for the current cup to finish before setting anything in stone (mainly because I didn't want the schedule to clash and cause more problems for the alliance cup) the ideas are in flux of course :) and will be nailed down more so once the current cup is confirmed - I mainly put it in CF Spring early announcement so that people knew that there were plans for RTCW after so people wouldn't auto leave the scene, etc :)
