I read the rules and I understand them:Sure Thing
AE are inactive anyway but is it really so bad for us to be able to play together with a pool of 9 other friends instead of some arbitrary amount of people from other teams? We have fun playing together, that's why we're in a clan together. We spend (spent) a lot of time helping each other get better and improving our teamwork, it would be a bit jokes if we're not allowed to make use of that because other teams aren't willing to do the same. Politeness would force us to not continually play 4 AE+1 in that situation too which I'd assume, and wouldn't want to have to prove with internal team tryouts and ****, would mean we'd be putting out weaker teams than we can, which is never really good for any tournament.Blead said:Because (and for this I use AE as a example, not because I feel any dislike for their members, but when I think of Pro clan I think of AE) when AE would join this tournament and make a team with 10 AE members in it. It would discourage people from joining. Why should you if you can't win anyway? It would also get pretty boring if you already know the results.
Again no hate to AE. some of my favorite forumites are AE

Also just a thought maybe going into things with the mindset that you can't win is the reason you can't win. There's nothing magic about any team that makes them unbeatable.
good luck with tourney, maybe some/enough of our little beez will be interested idk
ReneKB said:So, I have a decision. The maximum will be 5!
I have all fate that AE will not use a tournament as a excuse for easy wins to make a team so that can steamroll other teams who are not familiar with eachother and thus have trouble communicating. I'm not accusing them of any sort of winhungry behaviour. I just think it's a lot more fun to have team play with eachother who otherwise wouldn't get the oppertunity to do so. This is a very good chance to see highly skilled players together. and most clans do have a few or more highly skilled players, but (and I take AE again as a example) it's much more fun to see how Triari, Roux, Azan, Hives en Dennor would do when put together then it is with M, Azan, Razer, Roux, Deacon and Shema. Because we already know that you guys can work well together and that you guys compliment eachothers skills.[M] said:AE are inactive anyway but is it really so bad for us to be able to play together with a pool of 9 other friends instead of some arbitrary amount of people from other teams?

Mr.X said:I don't understand the limit thing. It's a video game tournament. Sure I'm up for fairness and whatever, but if I wanna play in a video game tournament, I probably want to have fun. Same reason I join a clan, because I have fun with those people. Why should I be forced to play with people I don't know and don't like.
Limiting clan-members = Limiting fun.
Yeah we know hau to beat IG - experienceMaynd said:Stronk team there Trebad

I vote for limiting clan-members, it balances tournament more.
