The only reason that it isn't working well is that the most of the clans that joined to the event are not able to get at least 4 players online to do the matches...
That's not ES fault.

Guys please.

The ES and Neko have been working hard to made this clan league edition. All ideas are valid, not all of them are the perfect idea, but no one would know if it works or not without trying. They must be recognized for their work, because probably nobody here (even me) would have the patience and the determination to make an clan league edition. Not saying that any of you guys can't do it, I'm saying that making a clan league is not that easy as you guys think, that's why the WHOLE ES team work on it. So please let's respect neko's and ES team decisions about the stages and all, new ideas are always welcome.

And please let's keep the conversation about clan league to #toribash or #offtopic channels in discord.

Aside from the late starting time of the event, I don't see why so much hate is coming out of this format. It's something new that makes Clan League more than "inactive clans come together to do a bracket'. Realistically speaking if we boil down Group Stage, it's basically just playing two rounds of a Bracket except instead of having one week to schedule, you have two. However confusing it may have seemed initially, uncaring attitude from the clans who tried to enter doesn't mean the format in question was bad or ruined CL this year. Clans like RelaxAll wasn't going to play their match regardless of if this format existed or not. Clans that chose to play their matches individually and count them up instead of finding a set time to meet up doesn't discredit anything, to be frank. They had the option to do it the tradition way and were actually encouraged to. AUS/US/RU clans being matched together might have been a scheduling nightmare, but you were given two weeks to find a day or multiple times to get at the absolute maximum 24 games done. If you were unable to do this then I don't see how it would be any different in a bracket style environment.

Overall, the time in which CL started was way late considering people like me go to College/Uni literally this week, and younger folk have school already or very soon. Otherwise there is a lot of complaining about something new when it wasn't the main reason things went awry at all.

Neko is trying especially hard to make sure everything runs smoothly and in the following advancements on the event he will continue to do so. The community rage is understood but pitchforks need to be raised in a reasonable manner.

I haven't really seen any unreasonable hate towards the event though, most of it was simply criticism. And personally I respect neko for taking this event up, because if i'm correct someone else was supposed to host the event and messed up big time which is why it was delayed so long, so it's not his fault in the slightest.

Also the meanest post I could find within a minute of searching was this:

RA was planning on playing had the format stayed the same as it's always been. The amount of effort and coordination it takes in this current format is just to much.
Its because ES team almost never host tournament events throughout the year so have no experience in this sort of event.

Any active player could have looked at this format and in 2 seconds they could tell you it would fail. Neko and friends don't deserve any respect for killing the last decent event toribash had. Current staff (neko & co) need to be fired, they are incompetent and this event proves it, toribash been on a massive decline for the past year.

You're absolutely right. Half of RA came back to the game around the time CL usually starts by pure coincidence. Clan League is the only reason much of the older player base return to the game- Because in the past it worked. So why do you feel the need to change it, it's not worth the risk for just an 'ah that was kinda cool'.

Group Stages were a bad idea, stick with what works. Also, don't call out clans like that; similarly a bad idea.

And it's weren't* you fucking imbecile

As said above most of us came back to play Clan League, while I appreciate your concern I think it's also fair to say you're fucking retarded for making that assumption.

User warned. Big meanie.

Sorry for my relative radio silence so far, dealing with some stuff in my apartment which came at a really bad time - if you haven't heard anything by tomorrow regarding the next round pm me wherever you know how

Criticism toward myself, the event or the greater ES team is welcome here, but please don't call people names for disagreeing with you. Be civil or you will lose the opportunity to use this thread for the discussion. I'm serious, next person to do so will be met with infractions etc.

I'll acknowledge complaints properly then, but for most of you with complaints I hear you and your points are valid - thank you for feeling comfortable voicing them, as Scorp said we as ES should always be looking for constructive criticism

Sorry for the sloppiness of this post, it's probably not the post you wanted to to be - but for right this second I need to deal with my exploded washing machine

Very uncalled for, shows how immature RA is.

pray for the washing machine
