STA 8 vs 8
« on: June 08, 2009, 06:45:55 am »
I have been talking with some past clan mates of mine about STA 8v8 and they all say it is a much more positive experience for clans than STA Highlander is.  They believe Highlander is a much harder format due to the class restrictions and don't like the small number of teams that participate, so...I would like to know what everyone thinks about switching over to the 8v8 league, or even trying to compete in both?  Personally I think everyone would enjoy 8v8 because we aren't restricted to one of each class, which gives us a lot more breathing room in terms of strategy.  Also, if both teams agree and have the manpower, team size can be increased all the way up to 12v12, so everyone would be able to play as much as they wanted to.  The only thing that could pose a problem is that 8v8 matches are played on Tuesday, 9:30est.   Or, this could be a positive, depends on everybody's schedule.  Voice your opinion maggots.

I'd be cool with competing in both. I'd be up for medicing the team of course  :P

Tuesdays are probably even worse. I go to Jui-Jitsu on Tuesdays often so that won't work. But when dose it start because I slack off in the summer and only go 2 nights a week.

It would start the week after I signed us up for it.

I should be able to do both, and I think it would be fun. Currently I cannot do tuesday's, but I should be able to rearrange that and be able to make it.

I'll keep you updated.

I've also heard alot of good things about 8v8 format, especially for newer teams. And what I think this team needs more than anything is just more experience. My opinion would be that we try to compete in both, if we can get enough people who are free both days. If we were to choose one though, I would say that we switch to the 8v8.

Tuesdays work better for me in the most part, for I usually don't have to work. So I could do this no problem. Mondays are more the problem for me.

I signed us up for 8v8, and copied our highlander roster so we should be good to go.  Dunno if we will be scheduled this coming Tuesday or the next.
