| the irish ctf team opted not to enter clanbase nations cup this season, because of our lack of broadband, and the fact that having to drive a long distance for dsl was too much to ask of the players if we weren't able to put up a decent challenge (which would be the case without regular prac, but theres no point praccying on isdn because we'd have to alter our tactics and team etc etc). but now some of our players have, and are getting dsl, just as a new nations ctf is starting up. this is a fun orientated 5v5 ctf cup, being run by exiled clanbase nations admin d3xt3r. uk is split up into england, wales, scotland, ni. for a change, canada and usa are competing, i can't decide whether this is a good thing or not, but fair servers will have to be chosen, the head admin insists that pings will be fair between american and western european countries on an icelandic server.
rep. of ireland find themselves in a group with england, northern ireland, ireland, slovenia, belgium, holland, and switzerland. england, belgium and switzerland have always been considered top ctf nations, although its hard to say how it will shape up this season, in the last ctf nations, belgium started well but ended up dropping out of the competition. the netherlands consistently produces competent ctf clans, and has a very active ctf scene. they lost to ireland last season, but appear to have improved since then, with some good results in clanbse nations this season. northern ireland is back with a brand new line-up, some of the old names like vicnbob and sar no longer there. i don't know anything about slovenian ctf :o
the ni team is having an exhibition match this weekend vs team usa, saturday at 9pm gmt. they have already announced their squad, featuring a lot of familiar names, sno, mocha, |- , flavor, sonar, seh, z3on, and daunk (jaymz = mascot).
the roi squad isn't decided yet - if you weren't in the squad last season and would like to participate this time then talk to me (fh|killy) on irc in #team.ie. the cup is starting around june 9th, which is a fraction sooner than i had hoped, since a couple of us are ordering dsl this week, i don't know if we would have it in time. (and theres a chance that via dsl might suck).
