Nation Wars was previously designed to have A/B teams, but due to the rising opinion of having leaders format their own teams, we removed the A/B format and will allow leaders to form their teams at their own discretion.
The names haven't been edited yet, but all A-teams are the official teams participating in iNW. It's up to the leaders (and/or their officers) to decide who will be in the team and who are not qualified, provided as long as they don't exceed the maximum limit of players (35) per team

So I assume leadership will be transferred to whoever is leader once elected. Then leaders get to choose who is in and who is out. Sounds awesome.

anyone have any guesses on what the rank cut off will be for the A team?
C/C+ perhaps?

I assume it'll be up to each nation. As for example Canada has a ton of B and A players. While Denmark might have fewer. so they will have to delve into the lower ranks for their a team.

Just my thoughts though

Your vote: Bo1 or Bo3?

(Vote): Bo1

Keep in mind that teams will have 2-3 CWs per week

Best of 3 is ridiculous, keep in mind that that would mean that you have the potential for a team to have to sit through 15 games.

Well...we don't really have to cast the games lives...
Casting replays is always another option

But players have to wait each set to finish so if is a b03 it could be at least 1 hour per set.

Casters will be fine however, if I want my top player to play in the ACE match I have to put him out in Game 4 or else he'll probably afk. This presents a problem being as there is no guarantee in 4set getting played. Its really not ideal. First player already has to wait around 3 matches before ACE, you want to get him to wait for 9 matches? What if one ends up like TerrOR vs Bakuryu, hour long game... Bo3 just doesn't work for SPL style.

I have plenty more to say, but I think its pretty self explanatory why Bo3 doesn't work here. If you think otherwise and wish that I elaborate more on reasons why it doesn't work then just post below.

What if you have dual passports for two countries? Are you able to apply for position as manager for those two countries in case you don't get voted in on the other one?

I agree with Eywa-

to add 1 more reason-
I like BO1 better because then some people like me can cheese and it gives the worst player like me chance to win vs the best player

Agree with Bo1. Bo3 only works for ICCupCL format where all matches are played concurrently.

Another idea is to have the first 4 matches be Bo1, but make the ace match a Bo3. I think the EG SC2 clanleague did this with great success.

Hi all,

Tenshi, I think you should think about this Bo1/Bo3 issue again.
I find myself agreeing with many arguments contra Bo3 ... we want this to be a fast, action-packed event, after all. Maybe increase the number of permitted Wars to 4 per week, to equalize? Give the matter some more thought, please.

I like Sayle's idea about having the first four matches played Bo1, and making the Ace Match a Bo3; sounds like a nice compromise to me.

We are planning to have the remainder of the ongoing iCCup Season 17 as a 'test phase' ... that will give us the opportunity to work out small glitches (which are sure to show up) and find the best Modus/Rules/etc for the event.

Personally I find myself agreeing with all Bo1's.
I concur with Michael(OD)'s opinion. Bo1's give a chance for relatively worse players to beat players of higher caliber. I'm not sure if ACE Bo3 is a good idea either...simply because the skill variance in the community is just way too big.
ie. Best player in Korea can easily take on Bo3 against best player in......CA or PL or some other countries (I'm by no ways bashing; sorry if you took offense). If it's a Bo1, then some of our international players will have a chance to take the CW (once again, I'm not bashing).

I guess we're voting between between Bo1 Sets 1-5 or Bo1 Set 1-4 Bo3 ACE
