Clans that pick thier own maps because its to their advantage. Thier should be a 3rd party selection. That is the logical way of competition. When I say 3rd party, I mean a voted on panel of players to determin what map and settings best exploits the stronger teams weakness. How else can you perfect this game? Anything else is not combat. Its murder.
I have a few problems with this. Better teams shouldn't be penalized for having better teamwork, sense of the game or overall ability. I do believe there are a few things that could narrow the gap seen today in skill levels of teams but exploiting on a stronger team's weakness is something that should be carried out through team strategies and not by a league or what have you.
I'm sure any ensemble of players could have a close match with a top notch clan if playing on fff.bsp with 20 explodeonimpact grenades per side.
It's too bad that the community cannot support enough teams for even 1 let alone 2 levels of competition. The recent lack of competition have left all clans with a sense of where they fall in the community. Every top-notch clan thinks that they are the best and every mid-level clans thinks they are top-notch.
