Apart from the ESWC there is also another big Counter-Strike cup left for the teams to compete in, namely the World Cyber Games.
Every nation is sending their best team to the WCG Grand Final to fight for the crown of the "World's Best Counter-Strike Nation" but Germany is changing it this time. Previously a clan was able to qualify and win the ticket to the WCG Grand Final but now Germany wants to handle it like in the FIFA World Cup - a team with the nations best players of different clans.
In order to prevent a full clan going to participate again, they added a rule so a maximum of only 2 players per clan can be in the team. To determine that two team coaches have been nominated, Cengiz "django" Tüylü (mousesports) and Daniel "Graphix" Toretti (a-Losers). These two coaches will nominate 20 players that will attend the WCG Germany National Finals, playing against each other in different combinations in an effort to find the best solution for Germany.
What do you think about this ? Should other countries do the same and play with the best players of their country or should it be another clan vs clan tournament?

for great esport countries max 2 of each clan.
(germany denmark norway sweden finland germany)
for lesser countries max 3
(netherlands belgie spain ect ect)
In fact, the whole German idea is moronic, unless it is adopted into the WCG rules, implying that every country shouldn't make use of more than 2 players of the same team.
Anyhow, by this decision, the Germans basically give their opponents a competitive edge over themselves. Using 1337speak to avoid swearing penalties, I would refer to the German method as being f|_|Ck1nG st00p1d.
kinda stupid, they can try to create a single nations cup event once for year something like SEC but with SWC name ^^ Samsung World Cup ;)
just my 50 cents...
Get NOKIA WORLD CUP or SONY WORLD CUP, whatever.. that should be hot to see, better than all the inet nations cups with a lot of teams saying that they lost because the ping :D
happy birthday SK hahaha
that's not right. eg. Hungary is not going to send any 1.6 team. the local samsung's budget looks less than in other countries'.
anyway
Moon, Roman from Attax
Kapio, Tixo from mouz
and b4d from mtw(to be diffrent ^_^)
hes awesome
and yeh most retarded idea ever
my mixed team - Kapio(c) Moon Roman fleks/RomanR Tixo
Taking players from different teams would destroy any existing chemistry within those teams and adding onto that, players from opposing teams may not even get along but may simply play for team Germany as a "holiday" to WCG. This way, they're not playing to their fullest of their efforts.
Besides, hosting a WCG.Germany qualifier determines the best candidate that should be sent to WCG Finals, why do you need to change that?
germany should have made a quali for teams, which would likely be won by attax, and see how they can perform, everything else is stupid!
anyway from current point of view i would say: moon,roman,fleks,kapio,tixo for team.germany (blizzard/silver instead of tixo would be arguable, too)
Nowadays in 1.6 everyone near top level doesn't have much in between them in terms of aim, knowledge, understanding of game etc because everyone has been there and done 1000x times it's the confidence that comes from playing with guys you know have your back and you've walked through timings and tactics with these guys time and time again.
Who wins these events nowadays is a toss up between 5/6 teams because everyone is so equally skilled which makes teamwork such a deciding factor.
That's why you have qualifiers, to see which team is best fit (As proven by them winning their national qualifier) to send to the world finals.
Anyway the best lineup would be : tixo, kapio, roman, moon then fleks/b4d/nooky
this is more than a best combination of players.
