Just puttin this out there think it would be a cool idea, but how about someone makes a world championship tourney, ahve a team USA, Team Canada, Team Germany etc..??
maybe have an 8- 10 person roster, then 5v5?? have a host team so all matches are palyed on that countries servers?(aka home advantage)
thoughts, ideas??
-
It would be like anything else in the world.
USA > all
.
-
USA fails at Football.
-
True.
-
USA would win the competition too easily. (No offense)
-
why 5v5
10v10
-
split the us in two.....that would even it out a bit more
but ping issues would be the major problem
-
Isn't this idea the exact replica of the up coming continentals tournament. ;)
-Cusoman
-
No. I believe the Continentals tournament is meant to be a tournament for Americans/Canadians although I think Euro teams may play as well.
-
Well, last time I checked there were no team sign ups.
About this tourney - no needs, iEAT said it all. Why even bother trying to make a tourney with that statement in mind? To have fun playing? No. To compete? No, since as it seems USA already won.
-
nice idea i think
-

.
Including trade deficit...
Haven't we all already concluded that a World Championship doesn't work because nobody is willing to put up with the timezones?
-
Nah, we're just all too scared to play the Estonians.
-

.
well i agree that but i think still it would be a nice idea in my opinion
-
we will 2v5 anyone. Heyneken and tita take turns to play (they share 1 computer)
-
USA would win the competition too easily. (No offense)
We would win the competition? Do we get to take them home? I thought slavery was illegal, people aren't property, etc. etc...
Also, Double post ftw.

Correct.
@Edge I'm having troubles setting User's Teams on so I have to register them for them.
@Steeb No It was Dark then Flame :/ just both have same avy.
-
:D I stand corrected. I don't look at names too closely. Sorry!
-
Actually I think Germany would have enough chances to win a tournament like that with its best roster.(okay,not if the whole er33t team plays for the USA ;) )
But on the other hand I don't believe that DaRk,OTB and MeMi could do a "fusion" without argueing,even if its just for one tournament.
And the rest:
Forget about them ;)
But it's a nice idea.
-
An American roster with mostly eR33t/CC players would likely win. I think that the German team would likely beat a team with the best active Canadian players, though. I think that the UK could put together a pretty good team as well.

Um eR33t/CC got great players but i think Starz, Ij, sI, and my clan uR have good enough players that can go in and win. EASILY J/K.
-
Nice idea! But I think this is unconvertible :( . My gain in experience with tournements tell me that this wouldn't start in success. Iam sorry about this and I will think about it -.-
-
The first PBCup I took part in was successful I'd say. So I guess if a tournament is organised properly, it can be a success

PBCup 2.0 was organised properly as well. Unfortunately there were some misunderstandings that broke the whole thing up.
-
hey i already said that ideia and nobody liked it because their r countries wich have more players than other so blablabla.

Germany simply has the same problem as the US team has: every newbie thinks he is the best and must be on the roster. And additionally, those 2 nations would have a huge problem deciding on a teamcaptain (Coma ftw!), without which it is impossible to form a team out of a bunch of individuals.
Biggest problem, as with all tournaments, will be the distance between the teams, and the resulting differences in ping and time. However, it would be interesting to see the outcome of this, especially if some of the DarkP members could be reactivated to play for the UK.
-
K so i ahve a solution to picking the teams. The host nation, which for the first one would probably be USA or Germany. cause canadians can play on american servers, and people in uk can paly on german sservers..or watev, well so the committee will choose a host nation, and apoint somone to put together captains for allt he teams and then the captains will be verified by the committee to make it fair, then, the captains will chosoe the teams and the rosters have to be choosen by a certain date. then a round robin will occur and then intot he quater, smi and final match. winner gets the title of world chhampionss and maybe something a little extra. Like beside their name whent hey play pball or on the forums they will ahve a gold circle for first, second will be silver thrid brozne yaya?
-teams will consist of 10 players, 5 subs 5 players, each country will choose a map. they will paly this map and this one only with the exception of the finals. the tie map will be choosen ahead of tiime nad this will be used for everymatch that needs a tie, you will play with the most players u have with a max of 5 (if u dont ahve 5 , 5v4 is allowed) then let the first annual world championship of paintball commence?
-
and people in uk can paly on german sservers
I'd rather play on UK servers...
-
I'd rather play on UK servers...
Or as we like to call it ˝the Laggy servers˝
Fine, since it's only Germany, Canada, USA and UK, I'll represent my country and 1vs5.
-
well since i live in portugal maybe i can get a portuguese team
-

Unfortunately most other Portuguese players arn't good :D

We might lose to england in digitalpaint:paintball2 but we still win in football (at least we did the last 200 times).
And at least i think i would make it into my country's roster :D.:D.D:d.:D..:d
I don't think any country besides germany and usa can come up with 5 decent players.
-
Arent we suppose to be talking about The Championship.....Just one question. How can it be a World Championship if half the world isn't going to be playing in it?
-
Lol rick. I think you know what WiZ meant.
-
No. It's meant.
-
Unfortunately most other Portuguese players arn't good :D
u tell them magalhaes!! PORTUGAL is the best!!
and lecky u r wrong about that because not all portuguese players suck like me... :)
-
I agree, I think uR would be the clan to beat.
I didnt say uR is the clan to beat.
I said uR, sI, Starz, and Ij have good enough players to be included on the USA team. I fell like people is looking only at eR33t and CC.
-
Maybe if it was 40vs40 instead of 5v5 :P :P :P
-

With 40 subs allowed :D
-
ya lool. and still that might not be enought for usa
-
Big nations can have multiple teams. Either location based, or maybe even clan based or something like that. Smaller nations could start looking for additional players from others games. Im pretty sure, if this nationcup thingie would really come, then estonia would have a team... and come on, estonia is small, pretty darn small (go google it, if you think estonia is a cheese)
-
Well if this does happen dont you dare put Germans against west coast North Americans :P
-

This will never start.

:D

You don't like staying up until 4am to meet the Germans? :P
-
You don't like staying up until 4am to meet the Germans? :P
I'm from the East but I was more worried about the ping :P
-
I actually think Canada could beat the U S of A, as long as we can call up gyro and them :D
-
Not a chance you could beat us. Gyro is overrated, your best bet would be to get Digi playing.

Interesting that you said that, because I always found GyRo to be one of the more underrated players since he spent years in the shadows of teammates like crazed and apache. But I have to agree with you here. An entire team of GyRos wouldn't come close to the best team the USA could put together.
-
You don't like staying up until 4am to meet the Germans? :P
The germans would stay up until 4am*
-
Well, 4am PST is 13:00 CET, so it could work both ways.
-
All I meant XBain is that some of the newer players in the community seem to think that players that they have never witnissed playing are some legendary player. Like when kids suggest KeNo was an amazing player.
-
Well as long as I played for team Canadia we would win. Even if all the other players were pub newbs.
[/cockyness]
But I think that a Canada vs United States matchup would be quite something.
-
[slightlyofftopic] If I were to be in a matchup between Canadia 'n' the good ol' U.S., which side would I be on...? I'm from Canada, but I've moved about 50 miles south into Northeast Ohio... Just something to think about.
-
You can go to canada
-
You're not good enough to be on either team, no offense.
Maybe if it was 3v3 Canada would play well but if they were larger teams I don't think anyone would beat the U.S.
-
I don't mind if you cheer for Canada. ;)
-

XD For one thing I didn't ask if I was good enough. Way to be a jerk off. Again, you've never played against me. You wouldn't know. I don't care if my reputation is that I'm not good, you have no way to know, so why don't you just not rate me when you've never seen me. Thnx.
-
Don't you know, if you pwn dp, it goes without saying you pwn life.
Edit: or is that pwnd *by life..
-
Fullmetal, I think that in a small community oriented game such as this one, if darkness would say your not one of the top 5 or less players in Canada or the US, I don't think you should take offense to that. Considering that everyone knows everyone in this game, so if he hasn't seen you play, then he has made an educated guess. No need to get defensive.
-
For people who think the lag is a problem, and yes it could inhibit your playing ability, thats the whole point of a hometeam advantage and a host nation..... and staying up late, the people who are good enough to represent each nation have played well intot he night....alot.....allllooootttt, dont lie i have seen you on... and yes the idea of seperated american teams is good, just maybe atlantic and pafcific, choose a few states as boarders..(if this does happen, a map willb e on display so you can fully be aware of what team you are on or would most likely be cheering for...colour coded)(and where ever you live AT THE TIME THE ROSTERS ARE BEING CHOOSEN IS THE NATION IN WHICH YOU BELONG TO...) any other problems that havent been solved....pls say
-
Don't kid yourself Fullmetal, we all know you're not good at this game based on the fact that you have never been seen playing.
-

this topic isnt for flaming or put downs???
leave fullmetal alone.... he just ahs fun playing this game like everyone else
-
I am not trying to be mean in any way, please realize this. I'm just saying that DP is not the type of thing where someone can come out of nowhere and be an awesome player.
-

Did he say that...?
-
I wasn't getting defensive. I'm just saying, I don't talk crap about other people, I didn't need to have my noobiness brought up, I was just asking a simple question that had nothing to do with whether or not I would be good enough. No need to be elitist about it.
-
If this would be a championship between the different countries of the world, then obviously the best players from those countries would be playing. So when you ask which team you would be from, and make statements like "so why don't you just not rate me when you've never seen me," I simply felt the need to explain a few things. Again, I'm not trying to be offensive, but in a small community like this we know all of the good players.

Yeah, next time Fullmetal_Steeb don't try and say you're the best player in this game, its such a small community that many of us are up our own asses and actually make things up in our own minds to satisfy our own egos.
Hope you've learnt your lesson.
-
Are you all retarded?! I didn't say, "If There was a World Championship, I would be on a team. Which one wants me?" I asked what would happen given the situation. I definitely didn't say I would be on a team. I can't believe anyone would interpret that as me saying I'm good.
Ok... Let me put it this way. If King Darkness over there moved from Canada to America recently, which team would his royal highness be thrust upon?
Edit: Thanks for clearing that up, lekky. :)
-
Neither.
-
I live in America, and I probably wouldn't be on the team.
-
darkness you obvioously didnt read my post about how the teams would be picked?
-
Since this ˝WC˝ will never be realized, I don't see the point arguing about who will be where on which team o yeah I'm so good.
