American NS League?

in Competitive Play
<div class="IPBDescription">Lets start one.</div>Weekend tournaments are nice and all, but some of us can not spend the ENTIRE 8 hours straight playing a tourney. I would much rather participate in a league with a single match on weekdays usually at nights. A group table with 3 points for wins and 1 point for ties would be nice like in soccer. One or two matches a week would be less hectic, and easier for all teams to be able to field 6 players. Having a tournament over the span of a couple months is more enjoyable and digestable rather than having to have a rushed one all in 1 or 2 days. Maybe after all teams have played other teams once then have a weekend elimination bracket for the top 8 teams or something.... Anyone wanna help organize a league?


Thoughts?

    It may be viable after launch but there's only like 5-6 teams and only 3 or 4 are active.

    I think if we had more people playing gathers than more clans would form, I know I would attempt one. Problem is not a whole lot of people know about it, I only joined it yesterday and I think its a great idea but people who don't and wont use forums will most likely not hear of it. Just a thought.

    More advertisements for gathers? Good point. Maybe Hugh could be of help there.
    I see alot of american activity lately, compared to how quiet it have been on the gathers.
    But the more the merrier!

    Yes, the nexzil hierarchy is very controvertial indeed. More teams and at least twice as many members as the top teams combined, the only thing that can save the rest from player monopoly is taxation (pro gaming salary rumors, are they true??). Just like the American natives it is time to welcome our new overlords. Get ready for thanksgiving, because this turkey's stuffed.

    I think starting a global NS league with a US div would be more appropinate, assuming you'd build up a site/league in such a way, it can be easily extended to include other regions, like Austrilia or later Asia or whatever later on.
    Also sounds more interesting to me then having bunch of different leagues going on...

    Not enough players/teams. Or decent players. Inversion has a monopoly on all the decent US players atm. Maybe in a few months if the game doesn't tank.

    Meh in terms of comparision to our EU brethren current NA skill/teamwork is non-existant...

    NA players in NS1 always relied on somewhat greater skill because their teamwork wasnt as good, seems we dont have either currently in NS2 :(

    Should NS2 become a more skill based shooter I expect some of that to change however, there are alot of NA players around...

    Its not a troll, if you cant be honest about your skill level youll never get better...
    Id like to hear what NA players can compare to top EU players currently, cause ive seen none.

    Also goes to my point about the NA scene maturing....

    You mean like, when we've beaten them? I guess you really like ignoring reality. And yeah, you're trolling for a response - and talking about maturity in the same post, nice.

    edit: But most of all your post is pointless and negative for absolutely no reason. I don't understand how you could rationalize it in your head.

    Honestly, I've never claimed to be the best nor have I thought to myself "well I have nothing left to learn".
    It's true that you should keep the mindset of always trying to be better. But I don't think that EU is that far ahead of NA. The Fana/Tane factor is the only thing imo.

    I think there are several NA players (GORGEous, Rantology, Joe!, Mobetta) that stack up against top EU players. They just aren't as talked about on stream or on the forums/full of themselves.

    Confused why you only addressed individual player skill difference in EU/NA.

    Are you just agreeing EU has better tactics / teamwork at this point? Sounds like it.
