Sounds like it'd be a fun longer-term endeavor. The slower pace would allow more time for more research, planning, and practice between matches, more speculation and inter-team rivalry to develop, all that stuff.



If there's enough interest it might also be cool to have multiple leagues with different point/tier caps. Or maybe the regular monthly clan tournaments can provide enough variety on that front, I dunno.



For now we're planning clan tournaments to take place quarterly, which is why I'm leaning toward the league idea as something to kill the time during the downtime when there's no clan tournament.

Will CW be 'frozen' on the day(s) that this occurs?



Probably not, but we can look at changing the start time. One benefit of the league setup is that you'll play a single match against your opponent rather than having to win 2/3 out of X. Basically, it's winner take everything for the matchup.I'll put up another poll to allow everyone to vote on the start time once this poll has had a little bit of time.

Hi General,



I have to say that I am very excited about the direction your taking WoT in competitively. I've said in other threads that these types of FPS games really thrive with a league style/ competitive environment. You should definately follow through with the league, set up a ladder system so teams can be ranked, use the 90 point system that is EXTREMELY popular, and I would suggest getting WoT to bring back this format to TC's so people can practice their teamwork and stats on a daily basis.



Also, as you know, marketing this league should be front and center on the webpage. Dates and schedules should be posted so it's easy to follow for those maybe not participating at the time, but thinking about jumping in sometime in the future. A season ending tournament of top teams for a gift and voila, you have a formula for success. All you really need to do is follow whateevr LoL is doing cause it is the most popular E-sports game to recently hit the market.



There are many people who are pationate about competitive play in this game. By moving in that direction you can only grow this games popularity.



I'm glad you're enjoying the direction we're moving with tournaments. The next few months are going to be very exciting, and it's only going to get better as the summer rolls around.
