"Don't participate if you dont like it, you are just complaining" As to be expected of you.
As for feedback, well there isn't any other feedback than what people have already given.
1. the prices are shitty for the "biggest" event of the year. Literally the fiasco ranking season gave way better prices. No good player needs tc or st anymore.
People can get millions of tc when they want, if they are good enough, which CL winners should be. Special item and trophy are the only worthwhile prices. Now there is only the trophy.
2. Whaddap with single elimination?
3. Joke mods in the only proper competitive event.
4. No special item which has been the stable for CL for a few years.
Staff is just getting lazy and they don't care or understand the game, people know this, so they whine. Including me.
And as for deterring staff to do work? BWAHAHAHAA staff has already put minimum time to this. I cant imagine doing less work for an event than this.
Throwing together bunch of shitmods without testing or reason and making a single elim bracket with tc and st prices. HAHAHAHA What an event boys!!!!!!!!!!
I apologize for my drive-by post, as it is just as useless as the posts I was criticising and does not offer any sort of insight from my point of view either. I appreciate your response as well as the time you took to explain your discontent. I'd also like to clarify that I have no affiliation with Event Squad and have absolutely no knowledge to how the event is organized or the choices they made. For all intents and purposes I'm just a regular member.
1. I agree with you that it is surprising and a little disappointing that the prizes for first place does not include a custom or exclusive item. I hope that Event Squad reconsiders their decision and improves the first place prize. Other than the difference in first place prize, second and third are the same as the year prior.
Ranked Matchmaking Season One is not so much an event, rather it's a way to promote and incentivize a newly improved system of finding games. Maintaining a competitive rank is quite difficult and time consuming, and the prizes should reflect that. Regardless, the special/limited edition prizes for season one are just recolors, and Event Squad does not have any involvement in ranked gameplay anyways.
I would like to argue that if a clan is participating in Clan League for monetary gain, they are doing it for the wrong reason. I play for bragging rights and the experience of competing alongside my closest Toribash friends, and I think this same mindset is shared among most players this year.
2. Clan League was double elimination for the last two years. However, Clan Leagues from 2014 and earlier, as well as other clan events such as Clan Siege and Clan Battle Royale have been single elimination. This choice may have been a result of the lack of participants, or double elimination causes issues or drags on for much longer than is desired. The bracket this year is wonky enough, I'd hate to see an even more silly loser's bracket.
3. Several of the mystery mods are ridiculous, I agree with you in that regard as well. I can only hope they included mods such as lightninglenshu or katanaikido to provide a sense of uncertainty or encourage the development of a wider knowledge of mods, and that they have no intent to actually select it for that round.
4. Same response as 1.
