Mhmm, seeding is okay. I miss quad though.

Now, what i would like to see is why you picked those clans because for most people its like "you rub my bum, your clan is in the cup & exclude all non se/fi/dk clans because well phfff they are less than us".

Dont take this the wrong way though. Emu and you are in my good book for doing this cup so.

I understand the frustation of no non sca. clans being invited, but it was the way we went this time, and when\if we do this cup again, we will have a better picture over which clans to invite.

According to recent 'tournament' results, Quadaver is the only big clan missing there. Can't understand why though.. and lyl at RA

How the fuck can you honestly 'forget' narf and quad? They are active since like the beginning of time and are always up for a tourney.

1. Get a map.
2. Find scandanavia.
3. Notice how big the outside world is.

Will you help in this cup?
No.
Qualifiers for you!

Nah, it's obviously because we always split up and make new clans under a different name, and give walkovers in competitions such as these, never meeting deadlines for matches and never putting effort in to actually arrange the matches.

We have put many factors into deciding who gets invited and not. I can understand people wondering why Quad is not there, but as I said, we factored in different things, and this is how it ended this time.

And yet you ignored the 2 most important factors.

Dumb people don't understand irony. Especially on internet forums.

As I said, we've factored in different things, to try and get something different. Time will tell if we failed or not. And there are alot of finnish clans who also had as good chance as a clan like narf to get invited, but 8 teams, are 8 teams.

7\8 of those clans listed as invited has not lifted a finger.

No one in my team (NARF) was surprised or whined about not being invited for the start. We are aware that there are clans out there that are (in general) better or simply just been more successful in the past. Goes fine for NARF.

As already stated in my statement above, I was a bit confused about not nominating quad, since they were really successful in the past and did win cups/leagues unlike one or two nominated ones. Anyway, I am 100% sure that quad will easily make their way through the qualification games and proove one more time, they are under the best in europe.

Good luck to all teams, nominated for invitation cadre or qualification games.

Im fully aware of some people might be wondering why some clans are invited, but we did not only go with earlier succeses but also who we think is "hot" at the moment and would be a tough opponent.

And about QUAD, yes they are accourding to me and most of the crew is one of the clans who would have an invitation. But well, this is final now and what i think qualifications will not be too hard for example QUAD. And as this is my first cup, mistakes are made

And I will admit that im a bit snowed in .sca, but maybee this cup will give me a wider sight.

Hope you will enjoy this cup even when these "mistakes" are made!

You might have a point there but "hot for a week or 2 and then fold"-kind of clans are no good and tbh quad has been hot for a long time and alive (so is narf), we just go underground when there are no cups/leagues because playing the same clans over n over again in meaningless clanwars just gets boring after a while. Like i said before i think you lot have been influenced alot by your admins & 'friends' and these factors are bs tbh.

Master Clown has said it all:

But anyway, this rant doesnt mean im not happy with the cup!
