Hi, I just wanted to commend Icky for his efforts in the preparation of this year’s Clan League. You’ve really outdone yourself. It was good to see a strong, outward figure at the focal point of the whole setup being as open to feedback, and transparent with the development of the event as you were – a refreshing scene from the fiasco that was last year.
Clan structures have changed drastically these past few weeks, and especially the days leading up to the opening of registrations. This is an exciting development – and I find the depth and chemistries of several clans to be highly intriguing, and should make for an interesting event as it progresses.
On behalf of Obey, I’d like to wish all participating clans in this year’s Clan League the best of luck. As several members know, I have discussed the option of self-induced exclusion from this year’s event; citing my own clan’s members’, as well as myself, being at an important place in our lives academically, and career-wise. We’ve re-established contact and owe a great debt to the community for uniting us in a ragdoll fighting physics simulator game. Many of us only really reached out to get to know each other due to a common interest of competition and it was due to event formats such as this that we were able to become as close-knit as we are today. Obey has regularly shown up in this fixtures for the latter half of this decade. And although we’d love to make one final run, it would seem impossible for us to be able to set aside time to set-up, and physically play the matches. It would be most unfair to whatever clans we would potentially be matched up against. Furthermore, these matches would have most likely been played individually – which eliminates the atmosphere that was established years prior (large lobbies, massive and open group calls, etc) and defeats the purpose of a clan-based event. Therefore, we have collectively decided to indefinitely sit out all future Clan Leagues, and competitive clan events.
So once again on behalf of Obey – 3X Clan League finalists – good luck to everyone, and have a fun Clan League 2019!
