For the most part I think that's because of a few reasons 1) we want everyone in our clan to participate that wants to and won't hold someone out simply because their score isn't "high enough" 2) most of the G1 players are willing to play anyone and everyone. We play in a lot of tournaments and sometimes that costs points that some of the higher ranked players are afraid to lose. We all saw what happened to the rankings of JR and Blitz when they started playing a lot of tournaments but clearly they're still good players. 3) Our players tend to be well rounded and able to play on any map but not specialists on one or two. This can cause us to lose games to specialists at times. This isn't to say that any other clan is wrong to do things differently than we do but it does cause us to be underrated IMO
i think you are wrong. first of all, im not sure there is a single soul here that do not respect G1. most of you guys are here much longer then i am, and if nothing else, i have to respect all the experience you have accumulate. i remember one of my first team tournaments ive played, and blitz surprise when he saw we beat you guys. at that time he already thought of me as a respectable player(now he learned that i just flow with the good rolls
), so it just show how much respect he held for you guys. and im pretty sure most of the site shares that...however, you having relatively low ranking has nothing to do with you playing tournaments. im playing tournaments all the time, along with clan war and clan league games. i dont farm noobs, i rarely play colonel+ games, and for all this time my raking hasnt sunk. and im not even close to best players. look at CoF. he is also playing tournaments regularly, and he is general for god know how long. and there is simple explanation for it. he is just that good. and thats the difference between strong clan like G1 or outstanding clan like TOFU. its not that you guys are bad, its just that these guys are superb.
also, most of the clans use all of their players. right now, when Nemesis appointed me to be accountable for clan war, im urging all of Nemesians to enter the clan war. and for me, that is the point of clan war, having your whole clan participate. and again, there is a difference between G1 and best clans on CC(elite group in which Nemesis still is not in but we are trying to close the gap
). if you play against THOTA or TOFU or any of top 6-7 clans, you can face any of their players and it will be pretty much same for you, as their worst players are at the same level as their best players.and like someone below already said, there are some 20 good clans in CC, so not everyone can be best, but being 15th or 16th doesnt mean you arent getting any respect
Seriously though, I don't think there are clans out there that play 5 guys for a whole challenge. If a clan didn't think people could play, then they wouldn't have them. All monki's play if they are available. And I think most clans, near the top or the bottom, do that same thing.
