Clan League 2018


It's finally here! sorry! Gather your clan mates, wake up the inactive and get ready for Clan League 2018!
Time is now for your clan to rise up and usurp the belt from Alpha.
Will the conquest of Alpha be over? Or will they reign victorious for another year?




Rules for participation are as follows:

•Anyone found to be in multiple rosters on alternate accounts will be punished. This includes being in several accounts in one roster
•Failure to organise matches will result in disqualification for both clans, unless one clan has been shown to be making more effort.*
•Reporting match scores should include the score clearly, a list of participants and all replays.

*Not including group phase*





This year we're doing a dual phase tournament, this means a group stage and a final stage.

Within your groups you will do a round robin, fighting each clan twice.
The top two clans per group will advance to the final stage, except for the two clans with the least points.
This brings 27 clans down to 16 for the final knockout stage.
The final stage will be a standard single elimination, with a reverse gradient seed (eg starting with 1st vs 16th, 2nd vs 15th, 3rd vs 14th and so on.)


The rules for the quarter finals phase are as follows:
  • A single player can play no more than 3 different modes.
  • A single player can play no more than 5 matches in total.
  • A single player can play no more than 3 matches per mod.
  • Deadline for the quarter finals will be October 7th.
  • 5 Different modes, 5 matches each round, best of 25 (or first to 13).


Modes:

Lenshu3ng.tbm
Taekkyon.tbm
judofrac.tbm
aikidobigdojo.tbm
boxshu_mushu_v3.tbm

This format would have been fine with enough thinking and planning put into it. It just feels like ES team tried to make something different, then they realised that they were late to present the event so it was extremely rushed and hardly discussed.

It looks like ES team is just getting bigger, but the quality of event planning is somehow getting worse.

quality, not quantity.
It's still not too late to turn this into your typical bracket, you have to give us our next opponents anyway, just putting the idea out there incase it's too difficult to do this bracket system.
This year's Clan League is just fine. The staff hosting the event aren't making it worse by trying something new, I like that they decided to mix things up by doing two different phases rather than just a simple bracket like it is every year. It's detractors who make this event worse by bringing down the morale and nitpicking every possible aspect of the event.

I like the CL so far and appreciate the effort Neko and other people are putting into it.

And I agree with Shmevin and Ponzo. You are accomplishing nothing good with your whining, only spoiling it for yourself and everyone else.

its a good format on paper but when actually used it just simply doesn't work
yeah, usually hype surrounds clan league as it's the biggest yearly event in all of toribash, despite this, it feels like trying to feed a dead dog a new type of medicine, it simply isnt going to do anything to help the current predicament tb is in whereas clan league is around the time a considerable amount of inactive players come back for a bit. i'm strongly against this new grouping stage thing, as it kills the hype clan league once had. afaik, only three or four wars had a considerable amount of players watching at the time and the only two i've seen is like desolate vs whoever and aeon vs tank. and for the fact that people say complaining won't help, isn't it the job of the es to take things the majority of active members in the given event into account and present the community with an event they'll enjoy? not saying it could change much now, but people could look to what a disaster the beginning phase of this year's clan league was and hopefully prevent it from happening again. as for the bracket round; only time will tell.

tl;dr this beginning round / new idea was a disaster and i hope that es will do something to prevent this from happening again and keep clan league traditional
