[NC] Newcomers Cup /winners=THE PACK/

[eddie2]

For our part we were also surprised by OSA and WG not being higher. The FFS have been beating us like we stole something the last month or two...and we have single handedly helped vicsmasters get his third bar. Seeing how well OSA is playing the FFS...hard to imagine them not the hands down number one...but that's just my take. It would be fun to see the winner of the Newcomer's Cup get a shot at playing one of the top tier clans...maybe not a 1-4 but a 5-10. Again my take...and again...great job setting this up Benga.

Any top clans out there want a shot at the Newcomers Cup champions? I like this idea it would put even more on the line for the winner.

lol ollie maybe get kort or tofu or empire one of the top 3 to promise a challenge 2 the victor of this. i know cof wont refuse but would the other 2 have the balls to face the winner.

This should be an excellent way for some newer clans to prove themselves. I couldn't possibly hazard a guess as to the winner, but gl to all involved, and hats off to benga (and shane) for organizing.

I just checked all the clans average score using Clan Rank. I like the way it looks!

1 RA: 2035
2 GRIM: 2024
3 Pack: 1978
4 WG: 1958
5 OSA: 1895
6 AKA: 1859
7 PIG: 1763
8 SoH: 1680
9 T4C: 1625
10 1RFG: 1520
11 O66: 1353
12 WD: 1348

Very close at the top, 100 points difference is really the difference between one week and the next.

Good luck to all clans

Well why WG are ranked to 5th place, this is quite simple. Many clans know for our old name L4D, but then we transform to WG, stay with same team,and get reinforcment with experience players from NEMESIS and BPB. L4D whas ranked in Chuuk clan ranking in 20 place ,above all clans here. We dont play any chalenge presenting new name, and these have influence in new clans to rank as in no 5 place. Who will be in final-well i will tell after semifinal game finish.

[Great-Ollie]

Ya i think that was why WG was ranked so low. Considering i ranked you guys number 1 and so did a couple others, there were some clans that must have ranked you last! lol Anyways i feel sorry for RA, they deserve to be in the finals as well but they have to face us! sdh knows i have his number! lol I think we all need to quit worrying about the rankings and let our games do the talking. Good luck everyone.

score means nothing. so you can farm oasis. Big deal.

so who do you think "deserves to be in the finals"? Sounds to me like you say about 6 clans do, lol

wait a min am i complaining in the power rankings no wg are a new clan with no proven track record. like aka is really time but we got classed as a new clan. so there a ?'s that need 2 be asked.

1) is the leadership as good
2) do the new players fit in.

these can not be replyed to because you have not played a challenge yet.

[qwert]

who complaining? I just give explanation to all people who suprised why WG its low ranked in newcomers cup.
No complaining here,im ready to play with everybody.

Spoken like a true striper. You've farmed oasis it seems more than any of us it seems. I've played it twice and lost both times.

Fantastic competition here - gla

Saxlad - if you think it takes farming to be a CO in the huge majority of cases you're sorely mistaken. Maybe brig and higher would be more accurate, seeing the scoreboard I know there are many exceptions though.

I have to agree the organization is great here, kudos to benga and if there ever is a need for a secondary cup besides the CC one I think it would be found here, to use a footy analogy it could be the defunct UEFA cup to the older form of Champions' league

In any case, ranking and predictions mean nothing compared to the battlefield, good fights to all clans!

Why not just use the new Europa League then?
I'm not sure if it's possible for a Super Cup tie between the champion of this and The Conqueror's Cup, but the earlier suggestion of one of the other top 10 participating could be a definite possibility!

[ga7]

Well it wouldn't make much sense to me using the new format because here we have the CL for league format, cups should stay bracket events without group stage IMO.
