Team UK Fail to Qualify

Posted by deebo at 18:13 13/5/2003.

Team UK have failed to make the next stage in the CB Nations Cup IV. Last night's game between France and Hungary, which ended in a 42 - 6 win in France's favour, spelt the end for our lads. With one win from three games they finished 3rd in group C behind Germany and France. Disappointed co-captain Ripper had this to say:
Tough group, France game decided it all and it just wasn't to be, I think we'll be seeing most top clans follow suit next season and not allow their players to play in the nations cup.
In the other groups, Austria, Spain, Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Estonia all managed to make it through to the next stage.

not even with Marc or Stu could they have beaten Germany or France, simply because them 2 actually practice for the nations cup. Either that or they're just generally better.

no seriously though... countries like spain have a governing body made up of their top 9 clans i think it is. They interplay and work together all the time... it works really well and if all these people are as serious about esports as they seem i dont understand why it aint already been done... clans say they arent serious but then why are they always pushing for sponsors and better competitions?

i wasnt knocking the selection i was knocking the lack of preperation for national events and co operation in the uk community which leads to crap results.

"poor preperation and planning leads to poor performance"

it's amazing how without even saying anything I get drawn into a heated debate...

Basically yes mine and chris0's team did get out of the group stages, but we were also able to pick practically any players we want. Obi & Ripper were not able to do this as such they were put at a disadvantage. But these days no matter who's picked the team is going to be more or less the same.

I have to agree with Ripper that the prestige of the uk nations competition has practically died and in future more teams will refuse to let their players compete in the league.

As for a governing body, very tricky to implement, something that many ppl either can't be bothered or just don't have the time to be involved in. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
