Gather Games

The Gather Games were a type of tournament started and hosted by Ragnj. The concept were basically a clan match with five 2on2 games but instead of having two clans battling eachother it was just random players that signed up for the event, both from different clans and clanless.

First of a signup took place in the official popre thread were players who wanted to take part in the games signed up. After that two teamleaders were chosen, the two teamleaders for the first historical Gather Games were Ahmed and CandyGod (aka Orange_Warrior).

After this it was time for "The pick", the two teamleaders took turns to chose players from the list of signed up. They chose until they had a team of 10, including themselves.

The teams were as follows:

Ahmed team a:

Keith52

Ragnj

Nefarius

Drummerdude

Soothsayer

Lupus

Fidelity

Rapid

Kiyana

CandyGod team b:

Addiction

Tundar

Snipe

Captain

Paddy

Right-nut

shakkazulu

keemo

Daniel

"Hey wasnt that the fun part? Watching the captains chose players away from the left ones. Did they already chicken out at that part doing it hidden in "pvt"? I guess it wasnt even the alternate selection but "discussed" between the team leaders?? lol. boring." -PotatO

"Lol you are so damn dumb! Go back to your elo thread... please." -[Rw]TOWEL in response of PotatO's post

"He's just jealous, coz everyone's dumped ELO. Or maybe that's just a false projection." -keemo

After the teams were created it was time to decide upon who would play on wich level, there were 5 levels to fill for each teamleader; PP, CR, FO, ANP and WoM.

The teams for each level were decided as follows:

Ahmeds team: PP: Keith & Ahmed

CR: Ragnj & Nefarius

FO: Soothsayer & Fidelity

ANP: Drummerdude & Lupus

WoM: Kiyana & Rapid

CandyGods team: PP: CandyGod & Tundar

CR: Captain & Right_Nut

FO: Addiction & Snipe

ANP: Paddy & Keemo

WoM: Shakkazula & Daniel

"wow biggest annihilation since asg beat dt 5-0." -mrbojangles_TN

"Congrats Team AHMED!! 3-2 FTW" -CandyGod

"where'd the 2 pity wins come from?" mrbojangles_TN

"if the last 2 games wil be played once, than the score going to be 4-1 to Ahmed's team, and its still irrelevant 4-1 or 5-0, a suck is a suck, like in football, salty can make a good example for this." -Reptile

Quote from the official popre thread:

"Like some of you know I played cs before I went all pop nerd a couple years ago, this idea is inspired by something thats pretty big in the cs community, its called gathers.

Theres pretty seldom we get a decent clanmatch going and I think its mainly due to the clans not always having their best at hand, people go inactive and they dont want to put up a b team in such a HUGE (lolkapownt) thing as a populous clan match if theres a chance they might lose.

Now "clan" (2on2s, best out of 3 or 5 maps) games are fun to play and one way to do it is using the players available, not recstricting it to only members of a certian clan.

Thats why Ill try to sort out a match with two "gather clans", 10 players (to make 5 teams, one on each map) in each if the interests big enough or just 6 (3 maps). Then randomly two team leaders will be picked and they can start chosing between the 20 players available. Coinflip will decide who starts and they then chose players to their team. Team 1 choses first, team 2 choses next, then team 1 again and so on.

We tried this out long time ago in asg and it worked pretty well.

So I need 20 players to sign up in this thread, dont be afraid to sign up but dont expect to 100% that you will be included since this is for advanced or semi advanced players only.
