FF League?

Hey All,

I'm curious as to what the player base is, and what the interest would be in a FF league.

2v2, 3v3, 4v4, 6v6, 8v8.. I'm up for anything.

I would need 3 - 4 serious admins to do up rules, configs, and run the league. I have the site and system ready to go.

Also, TF2 & CS:Source are launching soon. I Have an advertising campaign starting this week with Google ads, and on FPS Banana. All of these players will see FF advertised on the site, it may draw interest, or spark new players.

I'm usually very positive about this kind of stuff but it won't work. There are 0 active clans and I'm not exaggerating.

Whats the point of a clan without a league to compete in?

I didn't think there would be much interest, but thought I'd offer it out there.

Clans can be made!


if the league was 4v4 like pickups are then small clans of 4+ would possibly form
like [] is me + moosh and i know for a fact there is 2peeps i can easily recruit.

I'm sure several people would be interested. may be a 2v2 league? I would have a team too - even for a 4v4 game.

a new patch is about to come out soon, that usually increases the activity of the game.

It would be dependent on how soon an admin could get configs & rules posted... Basically all the 'paperwork' would need to be completed and then we're set.

Ricey u need to learn how to stfu sometimes, always critizicing everything and everyone...

About the league, if the dudes who organize it are experienced in stuff like this and wont abandon the ship in midle of the season, im pretty sure, theres enought dudes around to get some clans, but probably it will be pretty obvious who will win just by looking at the rosters.

Even with high functionality, a bad interface will drive people away. The same can apply when there is an amazing interface but no content.

I praise squeek everyday for breaking stuff and his brain being a jerk.

Hmm
2v league is abit meh, too many maps that offy can easily take advantage on 2v
if 4v4 was a problem id say take a look at 3v3
or make it a league where u can choose 3v3 or 4v4 matches?

It's been ~10 days or so, just come back to check on the interest of this.

Site's been re-vamped a bit as well.

We've also got an advertising campaign going on.


If you have a site, or know of any sites gaming related that I could advertise on, please let me know. (Paid banner ads)

Cheers,

Absolute
