why is there no more nation wars?
i know, most national team players swtiched to SC2, but there is still a hole bunch of new, old and up comming players who are looking foreward for more competition, i think nation wars will give back this old spirit of competition, and a reason for D/D+/C- players to improve in order to join his national team.
I remember back in the days (LoL 1 and a half year ago) most new chilean players were training for a shot in the Chilean Squad, it was awesome, cause it increased the level of chilean competition A LOT, you can say that DinOt, NbA, UltrA, GoTuNk, pALLo, Cruzago, Sendoh, and KilleR, all started their carreers hoping for a spot in the national team...
i think making a league of national teams may not be so difficult for a Site like Iccup or even for TL.
i think the best way to do it, is making national tourneys all over the place, making a secondary account in iccup with players id+ national tag: USA-Player or CHL-Player. Or even giving the national players a [N] next to his ID in the iccup page, like it used to be in wgtour.
The second important part is captains, i don't know how you can choose a good captain for your national squad but i may not be hard...
is this an insteresting idea for you guys? Or im just dreaming of the past?

I can agree with that. It was also fun betting on GG.net on which Nation would win. Also I think your right in saying that a lot of gamer's would try to improve to make the National team. I'm all for it. Good post.
|
i remeber NWs being so cool back in the days just by supporting your country, waiting for results and beting... With todays tools it would be unbeliveble awesome, stream, good coverage, hype... i just can't imagine how cool it could get...
|
To be honest, the nation war scene had been dead for about a year even before sc2 beta came out. I think I'm technically still the leader of the uK team so I would be interested if there was a revival,
|
Perhaps we really should organise a new skool nation wars. Problem is getting people to play nowadays i think...
This will be really fun. I wasnt around back then during nation wars existed.
|
This actually sounds like a good idea...
iCCup.Tenshi here, I'll see what I can do but I can't make any guarantees right now
|
I would definitely be interested in this if we can get it going, sounds awesome!
|
I think the main problem is that it would be dominated by the few good players who did not switch over. And then, the rest of the team is just filler players. Simply put, it would be very... one sided during most of the games imo.

I don't think that matters in a regular format CW, I mean, we have KT flash and Oz Jaedong
I think the idea is very cool, and maybe for areas with not many players nations could be turned into regions (south america team, UK, etc)

Yes, people, we do know that the nation wars have died a while ago but if everyone put 1 little bit effort, we can surely do some stuff.
Also i am very sure that iccup will definetly help with this.
|
sounds very good.
GosuGamers hosted the last nationwar league, about a year ago, but when the SC2 Beta came out alot of players dropped (I was one of the leaders of the German team and we had problems with several players switching over to SC2, not attending the NW's).
I think reforming national teams would be great because now we know who will still be here.
|
Can somebody link me to a league format from the past? I just need an overall understanding of how its played.
|
|
|
lol I'm French living in China. I'm not good enough to join the Chinese team, but there are too few French players to have their own team. Any country wants to naturalize a C protoss player ? :D
|
i am all for this! I think if there was a reason for all the best players of every nation to actually represent their country (a league with high prestige, or cash prize even?) then this would be highly successful. There also need to be motivated national team leaders for every nation involved, which I think was one of the shortcomings of the last few nationwar leagues. Some nation leaders would treat their nation like their clan, and select players based more on preference than ability.
|
This sounds like a wonderful idea, even if we can't get a sponsor.
I hope someone with experience in organizing tournaments sees this thread and picks this up!
|
|
|
Would love to see a resurgence in BW man o man it would be so nice, I'm just D at best but I'd be down to shoot up farther if there were a reason like this.

You say France doesn't have enough people, try Switzerland!
Hahaha I'm a D+ C-, but can still brag about being ranked 4th in the entire country q;
But sure, if more Swiss would frequent TL and speak up I'd love to!
|
Bleh, maybe if we let it run a while, more people will join
|
I wasn't really around when this was going on, but wouldn't time zone differences be quite a pain to manage?
|
just as much as with clanwars, find a time inbetween.
And it can be changed according to which nations play, of course.
Or make groups where nations from one similiar timezone play each other first, like North/South America and Europe. I doubt there would be any too far eastern teams, besides russia. Probably not any further east than Belarus.
|
Doubt there will be enough countries with enough reliable players to make this plausible. even if it was plausible i doubt many countries would even be able to compete, due to lack of talent
|
As the former Bolivian National Team Captain I totally agree with this. This can get Bolivia to play again.
I mean most of the Latin players back in my time used to play just to get into the National Team. And the Nations would engage in friendly Nation War just to show the rest who is the best. Maybe a League can be made. But the National team system was one of the TOP motivators to play BW back then.
Tenshi PM me if you want some help with this. I was very active back then and I think I have some useful knowledge.
|
I've filed a proposal to the higher-ups already, when they approve then we can get the ball rolling.
The only aspect of this whole scheme I'm still wary about is how are we going to choose fair/unbiased team leaders...
People sometimes tend to favor their clanmates, and not the entire team may support one person as their leader.

I think that should be the ultimate concern. 
I jump into the bandwagon with a gogo shoutout!!
|
I think most Taiwanese players switched to SC2... Rush used to be decent, but now the highest ranked player on iCCup is C+ -__-
That said, this seems like it has a lot of potential! Bandwagon gogo!
|
I'll represent Korea so that USA can have a chance... I'm only C-
|
This is a great IDEA!! someone needs to implement this~ POST THIS ON ICCUP!
|
UNITED KINGDOM!
im for it I think.
|
Good news guys, it seems like we've received approval for this event.
I'll begin drafting a series of rules/regulations over the next few days, there will be a formal thread created once I'm done.
As I am inexperienced with Nation Wars, I will always be open for suggestions! If you feel like there should be something implemented to make the event more enjoyable, don't be afraid to shoot me a PM on TL or to iCCup.Tenshi on iccup.com.
|
If this were to happen I would volenteer myself as uK leader as I have a LOT of free time right now, altho if there was someone better suited I wouldn't have a problem with someone else taking over (Sayle?).

I think when it comes to choosing team leaders. Choose those who are unbiased or cannot be biased.
also if you're looking for a canadian coach could do it. I'm not a good player, but I am replay admin at iCCup so I have that analyst brain that could help. Plus access to replays not seen anywhere else. gives the canadian team a good hand on the competition.
|
looking forward to this ^_^
|
i think you can count Denmark out, back when i was the danish leader a few years ago, we lacked players, and now its even harder to find any danish bw players at all :D
|
I like the idea too, it will very entertaining to play having such incentive :D, i'm D player but would like to play even if i get pwnd xDD

I have yet to think of a fair way to elect team leaders yet. But I'll definitely give it some thought in regards to various aspects

this is a amazing idea,maybe i can get some spanish players for this

Malaysia dont really have much active BW players as well, many jerked off to sc2 already. Perhaps we can combine and make a SEA team...

In the old days the Team Leader would be picked by the nation itself. Every nation had their own forum so they could discuss this things. In Bolivia the leader was always chosen without too much trouble. We always respected our leaders and everybody in the team would decide the National team stuff. The leader was just there as a contact between other nations and the National team.

This might be a good idea.
Though if the time comes when there is sufficient activity (hopefully with AU/NZ), we may consider separating by individual countries again.
In any case, a set of format/rules is now pending approval, I'll keep you guys updated.
If everything goes well, we can hopefully get the event rolling by early next season.

Well, if there are a lot of AU/NZ players, you could split it up into North SEA and South SEA.
I think North South East Asia has a nice ring to it.

I'm in full support of all activities designed to bring some life back into the foreign BW scene.
|
How many US players are there actually?
I would assume that even though we're big, we have a lot of more fickle gamers.
|
We could probably get some threads going in blogs or something like that recruiting players, so we know who we have and where they are... particularly useful for some spread-out countries with few players.
|
I don't really know how many people can participate yet, but I would guess it shouldn't be a problem for popular countries like US/KR/CA/PL/etc.

This would be really great, especially for relatively more inactive countries at the moment. The more we can be certain that a country has enough activity to participate, the better.
When the event is up and running, we will probably have a new forum section on iccup dedicated specifically to this event (don't take my word on this though). And it will probably be logical for team leaders to post recruitment threads there.

No, I won't be deciding.
But I do need to make a logical procedure on how team leaders should be elected.
If any of you have suggestions, please share them.

Each country has its own community and people know each other, maybe not too good, but they do and mostly know who is good for that job, even which players are good enough to be in the team, it's mostly already known and doesn't just have to be chosen by one guy who has the leader role.
|
How about this. each perosn who wants to can nominate themselves and have a sort of tl poll for each country.
so each person applying would write a little (1 paragraph ) bio on themsevles and sc, and the leader would be decided by votes. of course only problem is you can't control who votes for which conuntry. so we would have to trust the tl community to do proper voting.
of course there would be a deadline for applicants to submit their nomination. and the polls would go up for lets say two weeks and then would be decided on most number of votes. in case of a tie. the poll would stay up longer.
|
I'm thinking something along the lines of having previous leaders and/or players who have sufficient leadership positions to stand up and act as temporary leaders.
We can then see if we need new ones judging from the team's condition. How's that sound?
For countries who are in need of leaders, yeah masterbreti I like that idea.
|
I am with LML on this one. Most of the countries should not really have any problems to decide on who to pick. There are always some who seem to know everybody, and can organise a war.
But if you want it more official the easiest way would be making a thread for each country on iCCup. Give some days to apply, and then a week to let the people from that country vote manually in the thread. That way you are certain only players from the right country vote, and nobody can complain because it's the democratic way.
But besides that this sound like a great idea, nationwars were lots of fun back in the days.
|
that would be really cool, id love to watch a stream of this

Sen was the best by far; Manner, Rush... all of them were B players at their peak if I remember correctly, but since they've all switched to SC2 it doesn't really matter.

Well, I'm D+ in a country that has 6 players C- or above, which makes me a noob shit because I can't fucking play. But, hellz yeah. Someone needs to lead Turkey in this.

In these cases we'll most likely have your country form a coalition with another or a few other countries, so the team will have a combined skill level to be able to compete with the rest of the countries. The point will be to have as many people who want to participate in this participate.
The whole coalition scheme will come after all the planning is finished though, so there's no point in worrying about now.

Status Update:
All the rules have been established. We're in the process of creating a framework (ie. teams) which will make procedures easier for you guys when you enter the event.
The official banner will be up shortly, and it won't be long before we start the process of nominating/electing team leaders.
Expect an official thread about this within the next few days

so one quick question. do leaders choose their teams or does everyone join and it become a giant ladder thing.

Each country will have its own team, and each team will have its own leader.
It will make cw formats much easier

We started with scratch for this event, so there will be much preparation done needed during the beginning of this season. We'll probably spend the first 2 weeks having teams organize themselves and getting ready in general.
There will also be 3 weeks dedicated at the end of the season for Country Playoffs.
Assuming everything goes smoothly, there will be roughly a 7 week period for team's to play against each other. If the event continues into the following season, then we won't need to do anymore preparation work and everyone can just hit the ground running.

so basically a clan war type thing at the end and a sort of ladder thing at the beginning but with teams

Will National Team members have the "N" next to their nick names?? That was awesome because it gives you bragging right!!!! xD No really plz be sure to use the "N" next to the National Team Members on iccup web.

We will most likely have a formal tag for all iNW (iCCup Nation War) players.
Something like
iNW-Tenshi[CN], iNW-Tenshi[US], iNW-Tenshi[PL] etc.

I was not talking about the tags. :S It was a "n" little pic next to the nick. Just like the flag or the "D" "D+" "C-" YOu could not see it on the server just on the iccup page.
Like this:
![[image loading]](http://www.iccup.com/upload/images/flags/bo.gif) sGs.Cocky [N]
Where the [N] is a cool little pic of a N letter. Just like the flag is next to every nick in iccup this [N] would be next to the National Team members nick in iccup. This would appear in the rankings the team's player list and match lists. I mean everywhere the link to the nick is, the [N] is.
Don't you remember this [N] on wgtour or pgtour? It was a huge honor to wear this [N]
This little thing alone would motivate the players to do well in the ladder and tourneys to be recruited by the Nation leader and be able to wear the [N]
|
yeah i remember the N, it was also used during the early days of iccup. I agree it should be reinstated, but thats up to the iccup admins.
|
Ohhhh I see what you're talking about now
sorry I haven't been around long enough to see those icons...
I'll talk to the devs about it and see if they can create a specific tag
|
The little [N]
|
Blah i might just have got C a long time ago but hell id be willing to give this a shot
|
I was one of WGT NW admin and the NW scene was almost dead even 2 years ago.
It is true that the south american teams were often changing their rosters and playing one another.
But European teams gave up, even during the GG.net NWL I had troubles having 4 players ready (I was an admin in France A), mostly because players prefered to play with their clans.
Now I dont think we ll find 4 players from France willing to enter any sort of NW competition, or it ll be a D+/C level one, which defeats the purpose.
I agree with what was said about making regional teams (lets say Benelux+France,Spain+Portugal,UK+Ireland,Scandinavia etc...), that way we ll have more chances to have a full roster.
EDIT: I dont mind helpiung around with any sort of French squad if anybody s interested in competing.

I'm still not sure if the dev crew can implant the [N], but participants will definitely have their own tags to distinguish them from the rest of the players

Well can't wait to apply for leader. Don't know if i get it or not. But sounds like a lot of fun either way. Lets go canadians and kick ass. since we have the most gosu lineup next to Korea

sorry, but I think that'll be the best choice to go until we get more activity
|
How many Aussies have we got? Kiante and unionbank are the only ones I can think of right now. Darling[Pain] doesn't seem to be playing any more or at least he has stopped streaming. There's also that Toss55 who is currently top of Australian ladder, who is that?
Hope this event can come through. It'll be lots of fun and a chance to make the BW scene a bit more alive  Best of luck Shiro)Tenshi.
|
Also if we somehow set up streams for this event can it be possible to not have postponed games? I understand people are busy but if we have to have PP games among X amount of players there's no way of knowing how backed-up and unorganized these sort of events can be. (i.e. ic-cl) so I guess you would choose your Nation Teams based on activity and availability (sure having stacked all star team looks nice but if they don't show...)
|
darling hasnt been seen by any1 since ISL. also i agree w/ draw, we should get this streamed and dont PP shit.

what was the skill level in previous nation wars? C/ B ?

Nation dependent, but usually mid/high B's. It's going to be lower now though asmost good players don't play bw anymore.

i think it would be better to do continent war North America, South America, Europe, and Rest of the World

I don't think it's a good idea... It'll bring only good players on the teams and I guess that the purpose of this event is to have lots of players and fun.
Anyway, you can count me on the french team if there's one

Red and white, I'm gonna fight!
DENMARK UNITE!

this could be the national dance of denmark :D

Sorry guys, I'm still awaiting Messer's approval.
I want to start the ball rolling just as much as you guys do :[
Hopefully he'll say yes by the end of the week

Man all the top US players went to SC2 xD still have people like LastGosu(recently came back :o ) manner]flip, dredredre, michael(od) at least..
|
I played lastgosu .. and I managed to bring a good fight yippey

Caffeine, I think your list is a little skewed, but otherwise I agree with you.
To the rest: please stop volunteering yourself as "would be [N] players", because in most likelihood... you wouldn't be. Specifically, I'm only saying it broadly because only one person who did it is on a name I don't even recognize in the lower C rank community.

Don't let this man's hate ruin your dream!!! Reach for the stars, you will get that [N] status!!! Heck even I might try to make it myself...
Anyway, Tenshi gL with making this official. Canada team, who wants to be the manager? I know purpledrank (you crazy smurf), bizzy, assaulty, dragon... some others need to get some collaborations going so we can destroy anyone who even attempts to look at Canadians in a funny way.
P.S: Sayle you can be our Canadian caster!
|
i believe some masterbreti (sp?) guy has asked a couple times to be the canada manager, im up for giving him a chance. CANADA FIGHTING!!
|
Thanks for all the support guys, I appreciate it.
You can by all means (but don't have to) vote for leaders right now. If countries can decide on a leader, it'll make preparation work that much easier. Otherwise, when Messer gives the 'go', I'll allocate 1 week in the start for teams to organize and prepare for cw's.
Good luck everyone

If I get voted in I have some plan including a canadian tournament. Practice is something that would be decided by everyone once the team is made.
I think though in terms of practice. I would rather see 2 practice sessions a week that were effective, then 5 practice sessions that were not. Looking as well to possibly bring in some talent as practice partners once we got our team.

the entire admin team is trying their best to stabilize cl/cw asap, so the official NW thread should be out in about 2-3 days? Certainly not much longer

Sometimes I miss WGTour so much!
Unfortunately, Nation Wars are of no importance to most players out there as of now. SC2 is brand new and there's no interest in NWs whatsoever.

stop cry about sc2 players,there is a new generaton of bw players, gonna be fun

There is a timer on iccup. The same one they used when they changed their website.
Has this timer something to do with the NW?

No
I don't get what that's about either

I would like to read the announcement and rules on iccup before contacting other bolivians. But Im pretty sure we will have a team ready to play.

News will be up as soon as cl/cw section stabilizes. It's pretty chaotic at the moment with only 2 admins taking care of all cw matches.
I remember seeing Denmark doing some organization earlier...I think they'll be merged the other scandanavian countries to form iNW - Scandanavia though.... =/

I think HK/Taiwan will most likely be merged as one team with China, unless opinions state otherwise

Peruvian players are getting ready for this. We are arguing about the team leader and how to convoke those players who are out there.

i think we (team leaders) should meet to figure out the format, if it is going to be 4-1:1 1-2:2 or Winners League format (which i think is cooler)...

Winners league format is cool but it takes a lot of time. i prefer the old school proleague style. just an opinion tho and i hope the matches will be streamed and casted! gogo nation wars!

while old PL style, is easier to organize and demands less time.

Tesla would 200% be the wrong choice.
Being an awesome person in your opinion is not enough.
She has never done something like this and hence experience wise it would be more than logic to hand a task to somebody who has the experience.
Just recently there was a thread on iCCup where Tesla and Scan fought each other about vTv leadership where it was stated that she had no experience in being a clan leader.

I would defiantly watch and cheer for this if it was streamed. Great idea!

in some options there is no 2v2, which is a fundamental part of a NW...

Any teams feel like they're having trouble gathering enough players and/or wishes establish a coalition with another team, please PM me asap and I'll try to match accordingly.

I think you should definitely have a 2v2, which was included in all of the past NWs.

but the old PL style at least let 8 players play every match compared to the minimum of 5 players in WL.
for example in 4-0 situations in a bo7 format.
a > b
c > d
e > f
g > h
compared to WL
a > b
a > d
a > f
a > h
considering 'a' is a very good player.
i hope you get my point >.<
|
bo7 WL requires only 4 per team, proleague format requires 6 (6 1v1s and an ace match). I guess if people complain a lot about 2v2 then you could have your ace game DECIDED by 2v2. As previously mentioned WL format is much more interesting as an all kill or reverse all kill could be possibilities.
|
im gonna be in taiwan this summer so can I play for their team?
|
For the 7 bo1 you need at least 6 1v1 players for each clanwar online. Knowing that not everybody can show up each time, you need at least 10 active 1v1 players with a decent enouf level for the wars to assure that you will not have to give any WO. This will exclude ALOT of countries. Some might be active enouf, but it won't be many. You could say to merge it up, but I think the lesser merges are needed the better, it should remain nationwars as much as possible in my view. As an extra this format also excludes 2v2, which would be a shame considering this is a very active part of BW.
Then winnersleague format would not be a way to determine which is the strongest country, which is what we are aiming for I think. This would be the way to determine which country has the strongest player. All good ofcourse, but I think individual tournaments are a better method to determine that order. In nationwars it should be the country with the best average skill to come out on top, promote a deep lineup. Winnersleague format is not the correct way to determine that. 2v2 is not included in this format as well. Also both of these formats would include that you need to keep your players online for a long timeperiod without them being able to play. It will be pretty hard for the leaders to make sure that all stay online for the entire period.
Even though the normal CL format is used so often, I think it still is the best format to use for the nationwars. You need to show some dept in your team, but it still is a number of players that a lot of countries will be able to reach. It includes 2v2 and is all you need in my opinion.

Winners League format would be absolutely horrible for this league as the skill level between players is too high. I assume there will be countries who doesn't have many top foreign players or have only 1. You think it would be fun and encouraging to other players of that nation to lose 0-4 every nation war to one person. Not to a whole nation, but to a single person.
7 1v1 bo1's seems to be best option as that gives opportunity to a lot of players to play, even those not so good. And since it's a bo1 they might practice hard specific strategy and pull an upset on better players!
edit: oh yeah, definitely should include 2v2 too. It's a staple of foreign leagues.

This is what I'm afraid of and is exactly what I think...
which would mean that 6 1v1's and 1 2v2 would be most logical...bo3?
In any case, I agree that WL format isn't the best for this event
|
In my opinion there should definitely be 2v2 games involved. A massive part NW was 2v2. My vote is 6 1v1 bo1 and 1 or maybe even 2 2v2
|
The problem is getting that many people online. I don't know if I'll be able to find that many people to get a squad together, let alone getting them all online at the same time. I think,considering this is just starting up again, 4x1v1 1x2v2 would be best, and if it's running strong and there's good activity then start thinking about 6x1v1 etc.

Yes, the main problem with 7 games (6 1v1s, 1 2v2) is that for most nations will be pretty much impossible to get that many people at same time.
So I think the format should be like old proleague was:
Player 1

totally agree

^ This might be the best format for this event. I really like it. That way ppl could be sniped on certain maps and team leadership would play a higher role.

Maybe we can have the default format be the old Proleague Bo5, but if both team leaders agree to it, then they can increase it to a Bo7? This way, smaller teams will be able to play, but if two of the bigger teams face off, they'll be able to play a longer series and not be restricted because of the small teams.

yeah, i agree with this
certainly we have to accommodate small teams, but i think we still have to consider players in big teams.
we hold this event because we want to revive SC community, therefore it is better for us to get more people involved in it.

I like the idea of an adaptable system, at least until the interest and activity can be properly gauged. Nice idea.
