Meh. I respected Risen. I like many of your guys and also your playstyle was ever appealing. Also we had a really nice fight imho, which was on the tip with us having a 3vs3 after the first clash.
But you really don't have to wonder, why Mercs are in a tempered mood right now. We were trying to be calm about this, because we know, what we achieved, but seriously you can't ask us to be all nice if Razzen, Greifenherz and Thovex post such BS in their and our clanthread imho. I never thought, that you guys were as arrogant as to be proud of a victory, which you didn't really clearly earn. Ok, I might got carried away here, cus Berengar is being the biggest dick there.
Anyways, this matter can only be solved with a neat clan battle.
@Beau: Well if the word tournament comes up in a mind, I mostly think of tournament styles often observed in professional sport. So if you prefer a league system, make a large league system only with a clear winner of points at the end of a season. If you prefer a more tournament-friendly system, I recommend the groups system, which you actually used as well, but just with another system for the finals. I thought 3rd of first group would have faced 1st of second group and so on with a K.O. system (think world cup).
