GRRR Squad Forum

No problem Snake, your input so far has been invaluable and we appreciate any little (lot) bit of help you can provide.

Looks awesome. Just to clarify even when I get my rig I will not play in the team. I am happy to help on practice ect but I do not want to play in competitive games. Also I might as well bring this up here. I am working on something relating to competitive BF3, if it works out I will no longer be able to help Grrr with practice ect, obviously I would still want to socialize with all of you but the amount of money and personal responsibility involved will make the it very complicated for me to have anything more than a social affiliation the Grrr.

I know that sounds sucky but really you all need to know that I like games but love competitive games. I really enjoy working on the management side of things and want to be part of the community but more from a behind the scenes perspective. To that end I have been working on something for the last few weeks that looks like it will happen. Sorry I cant give more detail I just don't want to be seen as dropping Grrr when and if it happens. If it fails I would love to play public and practice games with you all and will apply for a Grrr membership.

then what the fuck are you doing here?

Nice workout Hubris I'm sure we can pull together and well get the players through! as you said consistency is the name of the game at this stage!

Awesome Hubris, I think that clears things up pretty much now we just wait to see if you speculations come true.

AS for the team I think we need to approach it this way. Get the internal applications out the way as quick as possible so we know what we have to deal with. If we find 12 committed guys in GRRR then great, otherwise we go on a recruitment drive. My first obvious choices would be

SnakeStyles (should be up and running by then)
Russian (Should also be up and running)
Mark

One word of caution though, the above 3 would fit into (already do) Grrr's mentality, I don't want to recruit ball aches just because they can play. The integrity of GRRR is paramount

Howzit guys,

So I wanted to start some discussion around our roadmap for the 2012 BF3 DoGaming League. I know there’s some uncertainty, so time to clear it up! You can see the details and format of the competition going forward here:

The long and short of it is that we face a series of 3 playoffs – each is a Cup Playoff which determines Division seeding. In each playoff, we are seeded and will play each opponent on 3 different maps over a period of 2 weeks based off one elimination.

We have just finished the round robin for seeding of the 1st Leg playoffs of the League. Shortly, we will be issued our final seedings and our opponents for Leg 1 playoffs, but I have tried to work it out myself to get an idea of our roadmap to First Division.

We finished 6th out of 7 in Group A. That qualifies us for the “Newcomers Cup” (3/3). If we finish top 8 in our Cup, we will be promoted to the next division and Cup. As long as we win our first three matches in each playoff, we should qualify for the top 8.

Obviously, if we win all our matches in each playoff, we will get the best seed possible – we will get matched with the worst team in the next Division and Cup. So, while winning the first three matches is non-negotiable, the more we win the better.

As per the matching process, 6th in Group A is seeded number 41 out of 48 overall and in the Newcomers Cup we are seeded 9th out of 16. Based on the results we have thus far, this is how I see our roadmap for Leg 1 playoffs, assuming we win consistently:

Match 1: A2K. Match 2: Either AoA or ESWAT – most likely ESWAT. Match 3: is hard to say – complete unknowns which should make for an easy Top 8 qualification. If we win all these games, we will be seeded into the Second Division and the “Novice Cup”.

If possible, we should try play A2K and ESWAT on Tehran Highway, Damavand Peak or Noshahr Canals. I think they’re both good teams on the urban maps and will struggle with adapting to all out vehicle based play. As for the unknowns, we play our strongest maps.

It’s hard to say who we will face in the Novice Cup now, so I’m not going to speculate. However, if we apply the same winning procedure there, we will be seeded into the First Division, the “Champions Cup” for the Leg 3 playoff. From here, it’s what we make it.

No doubt qualifying for First Division is an achievement, but we should figure out where we want to take the clan from there. If we want to go up yet another gear, we will have to recruit strategically to maintain a second team and maintain the fight for top spots.

As for right now, enjoy the week off.

We still desperately need consistent players, U2Mxhas offers his services but I want to see what we can come up with as a team. If there are no ideas soon I want to recruit at least two guys, just to field a 12 man team (with Mark). Otherwise 3 new guys.

If you know of someone who can play BF every Tues, Wed and Sun night 8PM to 9:30PM and at least one other night for public play, post their names here lets talk about it. Applications for the Baggers will open in a few days.
