CS Nations Groups & Captains Announced

Posted by Myers at 22:10 26/3/2002.

The CB Nations captains and groups were announced tonight (26th March) at 8:00 GMT London time. Some contenders for UK's manager were LR|DK, noc*Rigs, Myers/Chris0 (partnership) and Lordie.

Heres the full list:

Sweden: BDS
Germany: Sput and Raal
Finland: Jozne
Netherlands: killerman
United Kingdom: Myers & Chris0
Norway: Urgpurg and Nico
Belgium: James
Italy: Galt
Denmark: uku
Austria: mp
France: Eltiozo
Ireland: PHB
Croatia: Nexus66
Czech Republic: z-man
Poland: Che Guevara
Portugal: Man_s
Romania: OveR
Spain: Lover69
Slovakia: zerox
Iceland: Dday
So congratulations to myself and Chris0 I suppose for landing the tough UK CS national managerial job. We won't let the UK down. As for the groups:
Group A

Sweden
United Kingdon
Ireland
Slovakia
Iceland

Group B

Germany
Norway
France
Croatia
Spain

Group C

Finland
Belgium
Austria
Czech Republic
Romania

Group D

Netherlands
Italy
Denmark
Poland
Portugal

It appears UK have a fairly good group to be in, Sweden will be a very hard game, but it certainly looks as if the UK are in with a good chance of qualifying the knockout stages of the competition this time.

Expect to see the squad for Team-UK up shortly. In the meantime feel free to chat to either me or chris0 in #team-uk.cs

Why didnt actual players who are good at CS and know alot about cs get picked for the job.

Instead the UK gets landed with special officer doofy from 4k who only knows how to make tea at half time, and the that other guy who i didnt even know played cs.

But it doesnt matter, what managers cant provide with CS experience or tactics, they will more than make up, in getting us 'all the latest and greatest' cs scoops and gossip.

And as for the lucky team itself, well we can take pride in the fact that they will be fully refreshed at half time with the world famous 'Fraggle Tea™' [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

I'll pull your teeth out with a pair of pliers,
Till now again, you feel the pain,
I'll run you over with a tractor,
Then put u back together with a protractor,

You wake up in the garden of Eden,
But only to face the wraith of sweeden.
This i wish you and the UK goodluck,
i'll tell you now,
what you say, I DON'T GIVE A f***

The webby u shall make,
By the one thy call messiah,
Should be burnt on a red hot fire.

As god as my witness i will grieve in pain,
When i see the your name again,
If you try to match my ryhming ability,
I'll find a new use for this spoon utility,

Alvin i hear your cry,
It's very true but we all wish you would DIE,
Maybe you could slip, trip or fall,

LOL Alvin after all these months, your still a f***wit.

If you hadnt guessed mr ego warrior myself and Myers wont be playing, or doing tactics. We will be running the team, and making it tick as smoothly as possible.

Therefore asigning one of the chosen players or possibly two, to pick the starting team and create tactics with the top uk players.

After your obvious n00bi statement, I'll explain what is happening. We are emailing the top uk clans and top figures in uk cs asking their opinions of players, and any suggestions they have, and to reply to your b***hy post, you wont be recieving an email, dont wait up.

Her legs are open, and it makes her go spastic.

She shakes and wobbles, her breast do not move,

We f*** for hours in the Barbie house,
But we must be quite as a mouse,
This to not awake the sleeping brat,

?RIDLER?....

If you could write some more of that funny s***, I'd appreciate it. From 11 posts to 49 posts in the space of time it took me to watch Rocky IV.

My personal oppinion is that the role of the UK's manager should not be sending out emails, selecting a team then handing over team picking and tactics to 2 players. What's the point, that'll just make problems. 1 man sorts the tactics and picks the team to suit.

That person needs the respect of the players aswell, whoever he and they maybe. Not on the following basis:

<LR|DK> can u explain the criteria on how the UK manger was picked
<[CB]RayeS> well the previous captian supported him

So that's it, the rest of the list wasted their time doing as CB stated and getting clan votes. Only one vote counted. Even I can see that noc*Rigs would have been a wiser choice. The simple fact of experience and tactical knowledge.

Problem solved though, because the players are gonna make the tactics and pick the team..so all should run smoothly.

GL to them. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

03:05 27/3/2002
yes the support of the previous manager helped them in the choice, but also the fact myers has already got sponosrship and they know the CS scene just as welll or even better than anyone else also counts.

i am not saying your bitter DK, but there is more to it than just the approval of the previous manager. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Also we had backing from 2 EC clans and 5 OC clans and many other top clans in no clanbase competition, Which totals up against the 1 EC clan and remaining 5 EC clans spread between 3 other contenders for Leader. So overall we had a large backing.

You may feel hard done for some reason, but after getting a majority support from clanbase competing teams, we wasnt supprised.

03:35 27/3/2002
Secondly, you wouldnt ask opinions from other people?
So you know who the best 10 or so players are in the UK, and whos performing well atm? I think not, so us asking clan leaders their views we get a good idea on players who should be in, and players who shouldnt be.

Seems logical to me.. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Thing is the top Players are not necessarily the best at tactics. DK will be the first to admit he's not the best player in LR but his tactics and knowledge (plus screaming down teamspeak threatening people) is what wins them a lot of matches. Rigs is probably the same, not nocs best player but does all the taccies. Vice versa bob from Marine is the best UK player imho, but team tactics don't seem to be a strong point for him hence why marine has always underperformed despite having potentially the best team on paper.

According to the rules you can have as many players as you want in the squad so it might be wise to bring in players (such as DK and Rigs and maybe even The Genius) to help out tactically without having to actually play games.

Anyway good luck to the UK team ... hope you do well this time around and finally get rid of the stigma that the UK is second rate.

PS can you post the team ASAP. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Its right when you say the team picks itself, there are definites who are going to be in the team and who aren't. I think its a good idea for the managers to ask as many people they can on who they think should get in the team, I would include most of the Open Cup teams as well as ex players who are still in the community, just as many people as possible because there may be some farmer out there waiting to get his hands on some swedes :D [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

CB stated you get support of 'YOUR' countries top clans.....

There are 2 UK EC clans, noc/i-es. If Rigs was running, then that means you have the backing of only 1 UK EC clans (i-es). Now the figures, you have 5 OC clans. As I know I started getting votes before yourself and Myers and I got 7 of the 10 UK OC clans, that means you had 3 possible votes from the remaining clans (fu.uk, cF, ui).

Now I know you had i-es, ui, fu.uk. If Deean, as he said was running with Rigs, then cF would have voted them. So I don't see the majority you had. Also I have logs of all these clans changing their topics to state their support and IF as CB said, a clan can only vote once then their vote for me when I sent the initial email counts.

It doesn't take a 'Genius' to see that somethnig is not right in the whole 'majority' vote situation. I have logs an emails from all my correspondence over this so I know what I'm taling about.

Yes DK u went round before, then we went round afterwards asking clans and got their support, peoples views can change. I believe o0, 6K had changed their minds, and at one point Bror gave me LCA's backing, long before u joined #lca to ask and it was added to topic. So looks like clans changed their minds between you and us during the voting.

Btw 2 ec clans is correct, after asking Rayes a CBnations supervisor, he said that if the clan as uk based players then they can vote, so i spoke to =i= who gave me their backing. Like you had CSA's backing. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
