You're absolutely right. Latvia and Estonia simply don't have enough strong players to participate.Fumi-chan wrote:
I think the point is just for them to be able to play as a country and not a silly USSR joke.
So any country that doesn't have strong players to participate may ally with another country just for the sake of playing?gorlum wrote:

There are exceptions. There are SOME players that nationalize for other countries. But there's never two countries joining up because they aren't strong enough to participate. That defeats the purpose of a world cup.JesusYamato wrote:

Exactly, if their coutries don't have enough active players to participate, why not let them create a team that incorporates all of those countries?Fumi-chan wrote:

I didn't say he/she can't participate for Russia. I said you can't have teams with mixed country players. If you wanted _Angel being able to participate for Russia you should've asked me via PM or in-game, I'd think it up like I did for Blacky from Switzerland. Ofc, you preferred troll instead.Jaffar wrote:

So this is why players from smaller countries aren't allowed to participate in this world cup?fartownik wrote:
Of course, I'd prefer if you sign-up with Russian players only. Your player base is pretty huge and it's not that needed to look for players abroad.
Who said they're not allowed? If they would really like to they'd just set up a team of their own. This is a World Cup, country vs country, nationality matters the most. Also I didn't decide that _Angel can't play for Russia. I just said it's preferred for the team to be all same nationality, they will decide what they want to do.Blue Dragon wrote:

What's hard to understand, a player can be added to another country team (this for help nice players from small countries to play), example belgium -> france (same language and there are not enough players from belgium), naturally respecting a criteria , this doesn't mean that people can "combine" contries for make a new team, example I am gonna say "I'll make a team of switzerland and italy and I'll call it switaly", nope.Blue Dragon wrote:

Norway, Sweden and Denmark are kinda alike. I mean, we even share our channel together. Even so, we're participating as 3 different teams altogether. That makes it amusing Germany has to get players from somewhere else, France can take players Belgium etc.
It's not like this rule applies anywhere else, and small countries kinda has to deal with it anyhow...
My point is, I think the rule where smaller countries can join together, or players can suddenly participate for a neighbouring country is too kind.
After a talk with Vpalach I decided not to put Russia on the list yet. You didn't contact most of better players from your country and just submitted a team, that's not really fair isn't it? I'm gonna wait for a team composed with the best players as possible.646kapeh064 wrote:

Your so-called "Vpalach and other better players" refused to participate on previous tournament because that was inconvenient for them and i'm absolutely can't understand why they're making their demands now and you're actually accepting this. Some players from previous tournament, as Akai for example wants to participate again. They have their own community of strong players and Vpalach have nothing to do with that. I'm sure that your Vpalach just messing around with that kind of claims, and since they've already made a team you should accept them for tournament.fartownik wrote:

If you're from a country that has good players you can't go and sign-up with a team full of random players that can't even compare to the good ones. This is a WORLD CUP and the best players from each country are supposed to be able to play, you can't just go and leave them out because some random guys want to play too. It's like some 4 random guys from Korea come and make a team and leave idk Reisen and KRZY out...

First off, to see if everyone agrees with said setup and second to render things more official, apparently the team was created in a rush according to previous posts.gorlum wrote:

Okay, lets just imagine. We've posted that. Some random trolls and "better players" do not agree with that setup. What's next? Disband a team and let this "better players" to play instead just because they suddenly wanted to? It's sounds odd, isn't it?Mr Color wrote:

Besides, it's never a bad idea to inform people about the owc.
Stop being ignorant, simply the country team should be made by best players of the country, not best teddybearfriends. You guys should talk together as community for make up the best team that you can, don't be hurried, you guys have time to talk (almost 1 month) and find a solution._Angel wrote:
gorlum. just because OWC organizator want to see his low skilled friends in teams.
I don't, for this reason you guys should talk with the community (like making a thread), everyone will explain their thoughts, example, I am the captain of Italian team, I just made a thread in italian board and we talked in #italian and we found the best team, choosing together._Angel wrote:
Lunah, how do you know - who is the best?
The only one being ignorant now is you. They're the best players for the time being. Stop insulting them! Time had changed, Vpalach, Tkiller 8bal Shandro and other old players are not the best russian players anymore.Lunah wrote:

Everyone wants play, I know, but it's going to be an official world cup, as I previously said, get best players that you can.

If you read the entire thread you gonna see I've said before that I don't really know anything about russian players, but that I'm assuming those in that team ARE NOT the best in Russia, since I don't see Vpalach or TKiller for example. However if you say so I can't really discuss you.gorlum wrote:
