Here is the wonderful part. While we both know Sabah's CoD community is doing very well over there. "Hearsay". Which I don't know about because I haven't read about it since the last tournament and only 1 team managed to make it to WGT. So In a way, yes it is about the money.

Now, if a tourney were to be held in SG, who would be able to go down? 4? maybe 5 teams? The community is made up of mostly non-workers.

Even for the WCG event, ESP sent 2 teams. RVG sent 1. On ESP's side we were fortunate to have a sponsor of various parties. Some of the ESP's went down FLAT BROKE, with less than 50 SGD in their pocket. Some of the workers had to pay for the rest for small things that you wouldn't normally have to think about. I don't know but I remember, RVG staying on the other side of the border to save cash. How many teams are willing to do that?

only few teams are willing to do that becoz they are confidence that they will have chance to get a spot for prize/fame.
aiyah anyway my main point is not players travelling around playing tourney frm diff diff places
my main point is on community at the states itself
fire>bigger fire>bigger fire
money is juz like petrol, just to speed up the process

sorry english bad lol

=(( We knew that the WCG for SG would be tough from reports brought back from the SLing event earlier in the year. We still decided to go for the experience, regardless of losing like a dead rat. It was first time for some of the younger players and in one case it was the first time leaving the country.

I'm just saying that there is no real effective medium to communicate the game across state borders. The further away you get from major population centers the worse the connection becomes. Our National ISP isn't that keen to look after area's which have less people.

tmnut=-=
anyway about mods i personally am enJoying both cslike mod n msian lemak mod
like u said, is about the community.
i rather play a mod that i dun like wif many many players than playing mod that i like wif insufficient players
cheers

I knew a friend of mine who plays CoD4 3 days after CoD4 launch. Recently he quit playing which reason of "bad community". He is from Penang. I have no idea what he says, but apparently local have way too many of casual clan or some 15 YO brat who is trying to have some fun while some of us are trying to improve. I understand that we're striving to maintain the number of clan and is trying to build their confidence so that they can play a lil competitive more. But I've seen not much of improvement if you were to compare teams that continue being as casual clan and teams eventually turn themselves into a clan.

When they doesn't turn into competitive players eventhough we are trying to build them, who do we turn to? Our usual regular scrim fellow? Like Sanction said, that's why we have a bunch of "competitive"-ish players who have won nothing to join the amateur league, and there will be leagues like PRO league, Champions league, or even <insertyouleaguenamehere> will be going on, IF we were able to get more number of players to join us, who is competitive and hungry for glory.

Even in SRC. When I saw a group of people using a similar tag, I'd asked them for scrim. But they'll just knock me off with reasons like "not good enough", "we not clan, we just friends.." or even "someday". Heck the someday for them is like some billion or zillion years later cause everytime I ask them, they giving me same answer. My clan as well, is trying to build some players around SRC. Although there's some response, but there will not be enough if you were to compare with DotA because they still dominate in all the areas. Solely because there are still sponsors willing to sponsor for their tournament, where as CoD4 was just celebrate their first anniversary.

My definition of team is more like saying the teams in Garena, where only a bunch of player who are interested in particular game, but never even take an effort to contribute, travel, or join any event host locally. In other way, clan to me, is more like ESP, RnF, FFF, where they willing to travel, make an effort to contribute, or even actively join a local tournament. Sorry if I offended anyone, but playing online solely doesn't convince me that you are a clan. I'm not saying that teams from Garena are all sucked as hell, but I don't think players in Garena would want to play more competitively, communicate during their gameplay, or even bother to use the team chat. The time they use the team chat probably is when the game ends, they spam just to spoil the player's ears.

Like kenix said, the mod isn't really matter when there is insufficient players playing in it if the mod isn't liked by everyone, the community. But if you were to implement it way before the players can adapt, it will cause nothing but less players playing in that particular mod. Again, Sanction did mention about pyramid theory. The population of the lowest part is taking up too many spaces, till the fact that it causes unbalance, if you ask me. How many players DO actually follow the rules when there is one in particular server?

Like I said previously, when there is demanding, there will be supplies. You can supply lil by lil, but you can't expect all the players like the content of the supplies that you are supplying.

They all stay my house sia!!! Aeon snore like ZOMG!!! Then stay in Musaz house also got snorelax there!!! >.<!!!

i m not surprise! lolx

Aeon? bah~ u guys havent seens ESP'z ZOMG Train snorer Teh Bringer of DEaf via Snoring T3h m45+3|2 oh the nose symphony ESP.DEATH ZOMGG!!!!

Hahahaha!! Oh yar Teq they did say that they took over your house. I forgot whose it was.

WCG was damn fun larrrrrr. Mac dinner after midnight =P!

hahahaha yeah aeon real snorelex!!!!n we stayed in mars house in sg for 1 nite.i remember when we slept at mars house aeon snore so until pixy went to sleep in the kitchen LOL.

overall it was a good experience.winning or losing was secondary.we got to know our clanmates better n learned alot playing other teams there.

sniff.. im sorreh

but the last time i snored in singapore my team got into quarterfinals without training wei! not bad!

haha, just kidding.

Its always about the interest, then the fun, then the money. If neither one exists, normally the community will breakdown. Either way, it has to start from either one, you dont pay 150 bucks to join a compy for no reason. The consequences are larger when you go to other places obviously, so in the end, there is need to have a reason to do it, regardless of what it is lo.

I went to sling for the trophy, coz it was sexy. XD

Aeon's Snoring= AA GUNS.....PLAK PLAK PLAK PLAK!!!!

Msian torny organisers do suck in the way that they dont let other NATIONALITIES play.
