I am not saying:

• "Alpha has previously paid for people to join."
• "Nobody has joined Alpha primarily due to a friendship."
• "Nobody is friends with each other in Alpha."
• "Alpha will look past problematic personalities and interpersonal issues for the sake of winning." (re: Tyka)

However, I am saying:

• Alpha is and has been a clan designed to primarily recruit skilled players who share the goal of "winning". The clan's description literally reads "designed to win". This shouldn't be controversial.
• Since Alpha is transparently and primarily concerned with "winning", it is expected that the friendships among members within the clan will be generally weaker compared to other clans (hence me comparing Cicada, Warabi, Kros with Fire, Ponzo, Tyka -- I'm sure you guys got along but I struggle to imagine the friendships being particularly strong.)
• Alpha has been able to both maintain and cultivate its roster primarily due to its reputation and clout. Other clans simply do not have this, which is why is has been historically difficult to compete with Alpha.
• Money, however, is far more persuasive to most people than reputation and clout. So, I'm surprised it's taken someone this long to attempt this.

no its lie. i would say "me itemp pyro and milkshake been friends long time bratan DDDD"

W-why cant we all just be friends? :(

u know what ur right shine boost i forgive you and heat and kros and fire and tyka and luca and morastelli

lets have a fun clan league

tinybill17 is lucky he didn’t join CL im out to get him

I might raise a concern about the organization of this first phase of the CL.
All of this comes with the CLEAR NOTE that we haven't been active for a pretty long time, but:

- 10 clans
- each clan has to fight 9 times
- each clan has to reunite at least 5 people to be able to play through all the rotation of 30 max matches (31 but well, I assume that on the 31st match that "max 6 matches" can be broken).

Trying to coordinate to fight 9 times with people with different timezones in groups that internally might also have different timezones is pretty hard.

Despite of the main principle of the format is a valid reason like "everyone gets to play a lot", 1 month for these 9 matches is unrealistic. Even more if you expect clans themselves to solve the problem that the organizers should solve.

Extending the 1 month deadline seems a lot, I agree 100% that 1 month is a nice timeframe for this event.

I'm proposing 2 different options, of course they can be ignored at all:

- Swiss System
The first matches can either be randomized (easy way) or picked according to clan-selected timezones (more sensible way). Since we're 10 teams, Buchholz tiebreaker could come in handy.

- Groups system for round robin
This might reduce by half the ammounts of games played, but is a decent system if you want it solved in 1 month. I mean I though that this was the original plan when the "Round Robin" system was proposed in the previous thread. Same idea, groups could be randomized or by timezone.

Then split the teams in upper and lower brackets, to give top ones some advantage, and the ones that lost the most another chance to prove themselves worthy.

Anyways don't want to take over the event lol, just a proposal. Since when I DM'd you to ask about this and you pointed me directly to the thread, I did this, BOOST.

I agree for either extending deadline or splitting into groups of 2 ?

10 clans fighting 9 matches each = 90 matches, divided by 5 weeks = 18 matches per week

ur math is absolutely astounding

WHAT DID I TELL U PENDEJOS ABOUT THE FORMAT?

just do elimination man lol and just give the prize to the whole clan forget the players allowed to play
