UnFreeZe League 23/24

[adminless]

fantastic noted now, I'm sure a lot of exciting fights await then. ok, let's see what the rest of the teams do then, Приде and over I individually invited all of their registered members this week but so far I haven't heard anything back from any of them yet. oKo seems nowhere to be seen so far for this and diamond clan I guess that is just upset with all the nasty regulations and overall teams line up balance at the moment to participate so we'll see. as for the (other) community nobody signed up for anything here so I assume that there will be no team forza. that being said I still look forward having other (community) team/s build up here, by now I think there's more than enough former (individual) participants and community players as to build at least a couple of teams. in any case, as a reminder the deadline to sign up for the league ends next Friday 6 of October of 2023 23:59:59 CEST (UTC+02) so those around interested in participate make sure to not miss this opportunity to take part of this great league and most importantly to have fun enjoying this great game.

as for the eight team community guy the deadline for that (i.e. to announce that) ends next Friday night to be able to participate on the league otherwise it would have just to be added for a later event or a second leg considering the season would spawn after the Christmas (which so far just with three teams it doesn't seem to be the case, anyways, we'll just discuss/ultimate all that the next week as usual).

unlucky, as said, at the time of writing I think that you're the only clanless player to join here so far. considering the deadline to sign up ends just in some days (this Saturday) I see it highly unlikely that (another) community team assemble so we'll see. I was looking exactly at that before and I think that if for whatever the reason is (availability, interest, disagreements, whatever) some teams are finally miss (as it seems like it's gonna be the case) some players could at least team up on a different off-the-record/non committed team to participate on this. for example players like blck, cacahuete, Sub-Zero, Mango, Kra7oS, PUFF or Wilo just to name a few all participated on previous tournaments/community events already and are all perfectly active at the servers regularly at least at the time of writing. such a team I'm sure it would form a formidable squad to compete in this league and I repeat that's just a sample team after a quick browse of the stats site. obviously I'm not gonna get involved personally in team formation beyond looking up for the overall fair balance (i.e. that every team is on the same approximate division and not having teams from first division fighting teams from significantly lesser divisions) much less I'm gonna manage them later on so it's up to the people to ultimately team up but I can tell you that by looking at the servers I see at least another couple of competitive community teams easy. anyways, I'll note you in and in case I can team you up somehow or anything I'll just let you know so stay tuned if not for the league at least for any future community (open) events.

[adminless]

btw just as a final reminder here remember that the deadline to sign up for this 2023 UnFreeZe super league ends tomorrow by this time (by the night approx) and so far only three teams have signed up to participate (former 2021 Lineal Champions ILM Clan and no other than the last two runner-ups, ASS Clan and Team Community). as said I don't think the oKo/Diamond absence should come as any surprise (despite dominating the entire previous regular season oKo already had struggled big time back then to get things done and Diamond or whatever combination of players under the Diamond name is hardly made it as a unregistered team to the last tournament and despite wining they really failed to make a impression and the reality it's not that I ended up rejecting any line-up or anything is that they haven't even submitted any line up to begin with this time) that was meant to be however Теам Приде absence as well as the lack of more community and other teams do really come as a disappointment. I think that after three seasons of hard work to finally become very disputed champions and earn the community respect they so long sought Теам Приде deserved at least the chance to properly defend their title rather than going down without even participating and conceding just like that. as for the rest of the teams as said I believe that there was a lot of room to get more (at least a couple of more) participants both former (Over, Сообщество, Forza) as well as new specially now considering that the absence of some top teams free as well various top players to participate and/or assemble with other teams given the case as wrote above. that feels like kind of a missed opportunity to those players and potential teams.

anyways, that's always better than later having yet another endless shit show and eleven more pages of drama here and on the upside this will turn the calendar a lot more competitive (this is now literally six finals to crown a champion) and comfortable so at least it should allow for another main or community event (ideally a Team UnFreeZe undisputed mega fight against some of the former champions) before the holidays to complete the season. as for the format I think that now there should be no discussion it will just be the two legged league format posted on the second sample disputed between the three participant teams so just to make it clear here this is what I have noted so far:

• participants
  • ILM Clan: blaze, ironmonkey, vortex, fusion, orgi, mike, makaveli
  • ASS Clan: ricky, infinity, angelfish, walnut, rico, toxic, audz, oab
  • Team Community: fau, aimer, semisek, mywifehatesq3, pks, ribx, lee
• calendar
  • Week 1: Team Community VS ASS Clan - Wednesday 11 of October of 2023 21:00
  • Week 2: ILM Clan VS Team Community - Wednesday 18 of October of 2023 21:00
  • Week 3: ASS Clan VS ILM Clan - Wednesday 25 of October of 2023 21:00
  • Week 4: ASS Clan VS Team Community - Wednesday 1 of November of 2023 21:00
  • Week 5: Team Community VS ILM Clan - Wednesday 8 of November of 2023 21:00
  • Week 6: ILM Clan VS ASS Clan - Wednesday 15 of November of 2023 21:00

the rest of the rules and everything will just be what's already posted there as said so unless something else change in the next 24 hours (which I highly doubt and to be honest by now it would just come across as disrespectful to show up out of nowhere two weeks late here) I guess that should be it so it would be good that the participants start considering that and come back with anything they might want to discuss otherwise we will just open with the first of the two last runner up encounters next week. remember that as written in the rules the teams are not going to be micro managed or anything but by the end of the league (i.e. those six matches) all the registered players must have played at least one (in-record) game otherwise they will be removed from their team by the end of it (which could lead to complications in the future). additionally for this season the regular matches will be played at best of three so in the event of a 2:0/0:2 now it's encouraged (not mandatory) to play the third game off-the-record anyways.

We would like to add player snek to our team!

[adminless]

ok noted now thanks for the update.

[kf]

Diamond or whatever combination of players under the Diamond name is hardly made it as a unregistered team to the last tournament and despite wining they really failed to make a impression and the reality it's not that I ended up rejecting any line-up or anything is that they haven't even submitted any line up to begin with this time

ok i will respond to that finally

we, Diamond (reminder: Miroslav , OLC , KF , Heero-2b , Shantu , HolySquid , FragMasin and Viper++) were supposed to decide playing between 3 involved players which are Miroslav or Shantu and Heero because of "balancing". so we were supposed to play with Miro and dropping our newest players Shantu AND Heero - or we could have participate with Shantu and Heero while dropping Miroslav who pretty much got this team going in case of "balancing"?

i dont decide between players that i like to play with because of some "balancing" reasons. i play with players that i feel good to and theres no matter about their skill tier or anything. we just got a "balancing" rule at the last event. and reminder to you: we finally won anyways!

when i look to all other teams which are just participating here - they pretty much match the same "skill-level" or are better than us when it comes to individual skill - i think in such case we have the biggest gap between our better and weaker players. 2 of 3 teams just switching and adding players and theres no discussion about balance overall

quick reminder:
ASS just added infi at last event which pretty much just did all at dm13 for example - no discussions about balancing

watch ILM - they added vortex which is also pretty good - no discussion

same now with community and snek - no discussion

and tbh im pretty much cool with it anyways. i dont need to discuss about the teams and whoever plays there, just play with each you feel good - no problem for me

and i also like to play against such strong teams too in case of the competetive feelings. i dont want to play against ASS when they dont get ricky started or missing some other good player, it doesnt feel good even if you win, i dont need to play versus a "b-team" for balancing reasons, i want their strongest lineup which they can get and test our team.

so with that said, i will not replace anyone like miroslav, olc , masin, viper++, squiddy, shantu or heero in case of some weird balancing reasons because i shared a lot time with such guys, having much fun playing with them. we had no problem with your rule last time, but i will not drop and miss anyone of them.

we, DIAMOND will not participate because of that this time.

we, DIAMOND wish any participants good luck and much fun to upcoming league.

we, DIAMOND can be messaged by any team which wants to practice some games.

I, KF just still being thankful to you Miguel by still organizing such quake events and keeping it alive.

have a nice weekend

[adminless]

sounds good to me, like I said, obviously by now I wasn't expecting anything else from you. anyways, if you so much want to do olc, shantu, kf, viper, holysquid, fragmasin, heero and miro and anything else I think I can sign you up for that undisputed team UnFreeZe mega fight that I was talking about once this ends where you will fight another mix of top team players just like yours if you want so let me know. other than that I'm not gonna waste my time talking with people that is more than two weeks late to the conversation as there's no point in that however I can tell you that you bring the balance/other teams topic after your team just won last tournament don't make any sense (it's not what I "think", none of those changes made any real difference for a fact, the outcome was exactly the same your team won even without the presence of the uncontested undisputed super champion and former Сообщество leader got just bored, it wasn't even entertaining for him he just declared that in-game himself). of those the only (initially) relevant change that happened yesterday was the addition of snek to team community for which I already notified miro after it that the line-up olc, shantu, kf, viper, holysquid, fragmasin, miro (with miro and shantu) would also have been approved given the circumstances.

ok, so then as expected nothing changed and the ilm, ass, community and calendar will remain and I'll update the sample accordingly after this then please Team Community and ASS Clan start considering now when you can play the opening game of the league and what do you want to play. as usual we should just leave that set by the weekend or the start the next week the latest.

[adminless]

hey it appears oKo just signed up as well for this in PM now so I'll have to adjust the calendar now then please stay tuned.

Just join the league wtf bitchEZ

Better your team than out

well unfortunately oKo failed to make the last choice from the community picks within the 24 hours prior fight date deadline in time so here it's the completed (by me) card for the first (and potentially only in case team community take it) first leg final of the UnFreeZe Super League 2023:

• match-up: oKo Clan VS Team Community
• picks:
  • tier 2: nodm9a (-), phantq3dm1_rev
  • tier 3: focal_p132, 13excave (-)
  • tier 1: overkill, q3dm14 (-)
• maps: overkill, phantq3dm1_rev, focal_p132
• date: Tuesday 7 of November of 2023 20:30 CET
• server: fpsclasico.eu:27968
• gtv: fpsclassico.com:27971

great then with the other potential final and rematch of the last summer tournament grand final first leg between ass and immortal already scheduled for the Friday night at 21:00 all that is left now for the decisive week of the first leg is for ass to finally chose one from storm3tourney1 or pro-q3tourney7 immortal picks along with the rest of the choices (i.e. two from third, two from first and order) within the next 24 hours the latest. awesome then let's move on with the announcement and preparation of the opening week of the second leg of the UnFreeZe Super League 2023 that on top of delivering another first place it will decide the ultimate UnFreeZe Super League 2023 champion that goes as follow:

• Week 1
  • Double Trouble VS oKo Clan (Tuesday 14 of November of 2023 21:00 CET)
  • Immortal Clan VS ASS Clan (Wednesday 15 of November of 2023 21:00 CET)
  • ILM Clan VS Team Community (Thursday 16 of November of 2023 21:15 CET)

as said, from now I haven't heard anything from Moskva/Sbornaya/Pride or any other extra (either new or a mix or whatever) participant team for the second leg (quite a disappointment the overall ixsy&co absence after they had ultimately won the previous season to be honest) so by now I assume that we'll go just the same that participated in the first leg so the calendar will be the one revised and updated the weekend as already posted here. remember that starting with these fights ass player cliff will join as a replacement for audz and that Diablo Team has been renamed to Double Trouble. so far, that's as well the only changes I have noted for the teams, please do not forget that the deadline to submit any other changes the teams might want to make is this Friday night and after that date no more changes to the teams will be allowed until the season is completed in full.

[adminless]

breaking! team community couldn't deliver and conceded a 2:1 loss against a sharp oKo clan in a result that virtually ties everyone, at least by now, and that then gives immortal the opportunity to take the first place of the first leg if they can take the rematch of the previous summer tournament against nemesis ass clan this Friday night speaking of which missed the reasonable deadline of submitting their maps and choices even by now which means that I'll announce and proceed to compute them (I don't pick the overrules at "random" or intentionally wrong, I actually "compute" them or at least try to) as I finish updating the results of this night fight. epic games, very well played both.

[adminless]

ok, everything updated now with this night results and videos being produced for tomorrow YouTube upload in the morning. as said, out of all the possible results once again the most open of them all. from what I see I think that now there's only two possible first leg winner, either immortal wins the Friday and takes the first place with four wins regardless of any scores or community will remain as first place. with this result ass can no longer catch up community even if they can somehow deliver a 2:0 win (they needed a 2:0 oKo win that was just one round away from consuming btw) that being considering ILM takes the two first games of their fight against diablo the Thursday as expected if they can avenge their previous grand final defeat against immortal they would set a quintuple tie at three wins virtually unheard of and completely equalizing the teams for the second leg. in any case, whatever the case finally is once is already certain the second leg promises to not fail to deliver with such a fierce and close competition so stay tuned.

in the mean time as I was just checking and updating all this I finally received ass blocks, strom3tourney1, picks, bal3dm3, goldleaf and reqdm5, pro-q3dm6, order and server so now just waiting for immortal to decide that along the next days no later than the Thursday night as to leave that all set for the Friday as well. additionally during this time ILM already confirmed their second leg opening match up against team community for the next Thursday 16 of November of 2023 21:15 CET then please already go thinking about those next week matches to set them up along this week and let me know no later than the weekend the latest. have fun and good luck everyone, tremendous games

[adminless]

finally today I received immortal last choices for the first leg final the Friday night against ass in a rematch that will go back to back of the previous summer cup gran final so here it's the public card for revision and interest:

• match-up: ASS Clan VS Immortal Clan
• picks:
  • tier 2: storm3tourney1 (-), pro-q3tourney7
  • tier 3: bal3dm3, goldleaf (-)
  • tier 1: reqdm5, pro-q3dm6 (-)
• maps: reqdm5, pro-q3tourney7, bal3dm3
• date: Friday 10 of November of 2023 21:00 CET
• server: fpsclassico.com:27970
• gtv: fpsclassico.com:27971

additionally I also received response today to the invitations from 2021 regular season at the time top number five legendary Сборная России player ixxaaa. he said that apparently they are indeed interested but lamented that unfortunately the schedules here are too late for them to participate. I think that's unfortunate as obviously not just because of that but among various other things I also shortened the format to best of three for this season to better accommodate the schedules for people in other time zones so now all fights should be done before midnight which I believe that it's a reasonable time and a overall good compromise for everyone involved given the circumstances. anyways, it's what it's, obviously schedule fights before 20:30 CET (UTC+01) in a regular basis is not a option (as before that time people is working, that's no bullshit, that's how life goes) so I assume that then they just won't participate and then I invited them instead as the previous 2022 season champions if they want to a special non title fight after this ends against the 2023 champion at some Sunday 18:00 CET (UTC+01) or similar date still to determine around Christmas that works for them and then we'll see how that turns out if anything as usual. I think that given the case if they consistently clear that up with relative ease also a Team UnFreeZe undisputed rematch would be interested to pursue and organize as well.

[adminless]

good everything updated already with this night results, no surprises, as expected ilm added another 0:2 win to set a quadruple tie at the moment in the season scoreboard although I think that for the first time so far diablo kept it somehow competitive this time at least their opening game. ok then this means that everything is ready for the first leg to finally get tomorrow a decision in a highly anticipated last summer cup grand final rematch that could leave immortal as the first place if they manage to win or ass again as runner-up if they can pull off a comeback in the season and leave everything hanging in the air with a quintuple tie with half the season done. the fight is probably a lot more important for ass than it's from immortal, whatever the case is (for the immortal) the chances will remain all the same, he is gonna need to score a good second leg, however for ass it starts to get kind of their first final to stay in the competition for the first place otherwise with already three losses although not impossible the chances for a championship for them would start to slip (i.e. they would virtually need to win them all in the second leg and probably still depend of other results) so make sure to tune in tomorrow as it promises to be top notch game specially considering the maps that are gonna be played.

ok, for the rest just as a last reminder in case somebody is still interested do not forget that tomorrow night by this time (after the game approx) the deadline to make any changes end and so far I only received the audz/cliff change for ass and the Diablo Team/Double Trouble name change, nothing else, then make sure to not miss it. in that sense as brought before everybody registered has played at least one in-record game (i.e. a map) during the first leg with the only exceptions of Venum for oKo and lee for team community so congrats to (virtually) everyone in complying with that norm, great job. the rule as written would call for the missing players to be kicked from their teams though I don't really think that appropriate at the moment (oKo has already been punished more than enough due the lack of active players, had not been because of the 2:0 no showing score and they would actually be first place at the moment, and I don't really observe any real foul play in the team community end, lee presence in at least one game would have no make any significant difference) so this time I'll just leave it as warning for both teams and players. that being said do not forget that the rule indeed remains and that by the end of the the season (i.e. second leg) then it will be enforced so make sure to engage all your registered players to avoid losing them for another occasion.
