I think people might be interested in competetive events, not just the same one, week in and week out.
Look at World Championships. The ones that exists every year like hockey, nobody really cares. (Yes I realize this might be tilted somewhat towards nations who do play hockey, all 6 of us.)
Or the ones that happens every 2 years, like Track and field, better but still a bit often not big enough. Or the events that happen only every 4 years, like the Olympics or Fifa world cup.
And we know this isn't just about the game being played, in Track the Olympics is 100times more important than a World Championship, just for the reason of it being availible on a less know basis. Same with winning gold in hockey in the olympics or in the world champs.
God not to mention the 7 billion different boxing world champions there are.
The other part of the problem is that quite a lot of players get cold feet when it comes to compete, afraid of getting curbstomped and it being showed and some asshole streamer calling your gameplay shit. (Sorry for all the people who felt that way during the Nationscup, rest assure I am no better.)
But thats part of competing, getting your ass handed to you in 7 nice pieces and then getting right back up there and competing again.
So to cap this up, (Why do I always do this in most of my posts?)
A) Organizers needs to remain creative, most of you are, but tournaments cant just be tournament nr 24235, it gets boring so winning it means nothing. Don't flood the market, supply and demand and all that other capitalist bull.
B) Players of CoH2, dont be afraid to fail! Do you seriously think all those guys at top 10 of the charts, who win every tourny got there by just winning all the time?
No you learn from your mistakes! Fail the most and you will win the most, there is no other route. If you do an amazing job and go a long-ways in a tourny, people will know your name.
If you fail, no one will care.
I think everyone knows who the fastest man at 100m dash is. (usain bolt you nerds!) but who the fuck is the second fastest?
THe only one to care about the looser is the looser. So don't be afraid to try. Get your mate, sign up and atleast try! Worst thing to happen is you loose a game. |
