Wishing Our Speed Team Good Luck!!

i am really idiot do you have a problem?
a 10.000.000 country deafeted a country with 200.000.000 and players from other countries(e.g. noisy)

 

[DeletedUser]

Actually, our country has 300,000,000 people, but our server also has less players as a result of being younger, as well. And we compete with .net and .co.uk, who cater to the same language that we do (English). Greek servers are exclusively Greek; there is no other server that has Greek in it (there are Greek players on other servers, but they are still bound to speak English or whatever other language the server uses).

I would also encourage people to remember this is a game, and personal insults are discouraged and not allowed.

I am from Luxembourg, a country with 500000 people, but i owned several servers, this means that Luxembourg is better than Germany or the Usa???
I don't think so
But Or-el is right, you should never forget that this is just a game!

 

[DeletedUser]

I think that it was a bit unfair to disqualify the dutch team in the half-finals, if it happened in the Group-phase then we could go further without that script. So tp e honest I don't think that Greece really deserves it. But either way, the best of luck

 

[DeletedUser]

hmmm how do i join the next tournament for speed rounds...? sounds fun..

 

[DeletedUser]

It seems that Romania defeated Greece in the finals.

 

[DeletedUser]

So .us and .net failed.

What say you Lisa?

 

[DeletedUser]

.US far from failed. For one of the newest servers, and one without a speed world, .US did quite well. Something for everyone involved to be quite proud of.

I did expect .net to do much better.

I do think the time the rounds were held played a factor in the tourney. If your players cannot be on due to work or sleep or school, then its hard to compete against a team who is all there.

That's nonsense. Most of the people who will have played in the .US team will have played speed worlds on other servers before. So they will have had the same experiences as other players would have.

Just because they don't log on to speed at .us, doesn't mean they haven't played speed before.


Unless you are telling me that every person in this team has never been on a speed world prior to this championship, or another server prior to this one coming out?

 

[DeletedUser]

Having a native speed world to practice on and practicing on other servers that typically run rounds (for the most part) on times that US-based players cannot easily make with work and school are not the same.

To add to that, you didn't refute the portion about it being one of the newest servers, which is a feat in and of itself.

This argument works if only American-based players are in the team. Which I know for a fact isn't true in one case, and strongly suspect it isn't true in several others too.

.net also has speed rounds that vary starting times a lot - so, they suit all groups. Practicing on those would work well enough, from a logical point of view. Plus, area affects each game anyway, so practicing won't achieve a huge deal after a certain amount of times once people are happy working together.

It is a newer server, but the players involved will no doubt have played elsewhere before. Meaning they have the same experience, as players from other servers. Making that whole argument redundant. You yourself were on the team, but you've been around on .net longer than .us has been around

Strong suspect with only one proven case isn't very much as far as I'm concerned, having been on the team . 1 player of 20, with "strongly suspect" doesn't win debate awards, I'm afraid .

Assuming you can get in, are willing to pay premium everytime, and yes; practice is a huge deal. I would know, having improved myself through practice, not just area. In addition, without having a speed server of our own, our players had less time to get to know each other, being forced to rely on other servers which are (again) more difficult to come by.

Again, you wouldn't know the composition of the team...

2 of 20 is still not a valid number.

 

[DeletedUser]

In which case, answer me this.

Out of your team of 20, how many originated from this server (ie, never once come across TW before playing here)? It isn't breaking confidentiality in any way as it doesn't give away who members of the team are.

If that question cannot be answered, I shall be able to sleep happy knowing that I have yet to have had a single point I have made properly invalidated

[4/30/12 9:15:22 PM] Or-el: Team members cycle
[4/30/12 9:15:34 PM] Or-el: You don't always have to be registered
[4/30/12 9:15:46 PM] Or-el: We had 20 top, but if we chose to bring in a new one because another couldn't make a round
[4/30/12 9:15:47 PM] Or-el: Twas allowed
[4/30/12 9:15:50 PM] Or-el: So you really have NO clue
[4/30/12 9:15:51 PM] Or-el:

As I told you over skype, my good sir.

I can sleep knowing that you've yet to invalidate the amazing accomplishments, while my reason stands substantially superior in accordance with both common knowledge and logic .

 

[DeletedUser]

...that quote entirely failing to meet any of the points raised

 

[DeletedUser]

As did yours, with any substantial proof .

When you get proof, come back, and then maybe you can try to detract from the accomplishments. Until then, I will continue to point out that our speed team (from my first-hand knowledge) did far better than anyone could've or should've expected considering the severe disadvantage played at.

I don't see how "never once come across TW before playing here" has anything to do with this discussion. Especially to a fact-lover such as yourself, I would think that you know TW was much less advertised in than the countries .net most appeals to at first? With this comes a much lower ratio of speed players in the U.S. than .net's [mostly] European ones. So, where players originate really has no relevance here. Orel made a great point when he said .us speed team had much less time to learn play styles and work together well.

Let's also not forget the only match .us lost was against Greece and the timezone played much more to their advantage. We can only speculate how we would have done against .net.

You know you've won when Googly starts breaking out the smileys.

 

[Dase]

.ro won the speed championship.Nobody was expecting this,eh?
We rock !

 

[DeletedUser]

So .us and .net failed.

What say you Lisa?

Im not trying to say we did or did not fail, but as uk champion(thats what you call yourself right?) who couldnt organize a team (hell,they didnt even let you play) for his own server ( like 4 total players from uk played) and then joined another server ( .us), backstabbed them on their first round then got kicked out, you don`t get to say who failed and who didn`t.

@googly: sorry i would reply to you but i didnt understand what point you were trying to make. Must be my english...or not!

 

[DeletedUser]

Congrats .us team. You were really good in the tournament. What is more I should congratulate u seperately for your team leader noise... He is an awesome guy and awesome player
