DoubleDutch Dragons recruiting for LAN

how can I recognize you if there gonna be at least 7 people in DDD jerseys without names that some other fatties wore before? also you meant this lan with 7 teams? or the one that won't happen?

Fck those thieves, but DD shouldn't ve picked randoms.

You wont lose 200e, thats what you will pay for the team to represent your mgc at lan. Really borrowing the jersey for lan event is super weird idea unless you think some nerds would find it exciting to play in your nameless jersey.

I like the initiative of you stepping up to form a team for LAN but you're not viewing this entirely through from a player's perspective.

The probability of this actually working out is highest when six somewhat skilled and known individuals sign up to play together. However that is only going to happen if they get something of value in return (= travel or entrance expenses covered) and what you're offering is unfortunately of no use to them. If six players who only want to visit LAN to meet up with their online friends & enjoy the experience they would have done that without outside help (catinahat for instance). ET community can pull out a surprise though and prove me wrong :P

I hope this initiative works out but I'd say the chances of that happening are very unlikely :[

yup pretty much, unless you have some established reach there is nothing to gain. organisations having X team go to X lan and win means pretty much nothing unless the game is a huge esport - ET teams could still get support if say they had facebook / youtube / twitter reach monthly in 5 figures I think, those numbers are what most orgs will look for especially on a game they know little to nothing about. ;)

first of all I'm not replying the original post, im responding the people that feel like an organisation should offer more than what is being offered here. The sweeter end of the deal is the team for getting the opportunity to play under a somewhat established name. No matter which way you try turn it, any organisation supporting ET at this point is simply charity as there is no real gain for them by supporting such a small community/game, apart from a 'social aspect'. As someone who has been involved in some established MGC's at different levels it just strikes me as a complete joke how some people here respond to threads like this one, regardless of which ways of support the teams provide.

That depends on how you define 'no point'. You seem to define it as 'i still have to pay for myself = not support'.
There are plenty of people that would say playing under a MGC, however known or prestigious, would like to add to their experiences. Not every gamer gets to play for Dignitas or other legendary organisations, but some would like to have that experience in some way, and ofcourse DDD is not Dignitas but they can provide a fun group of friends something similar to that experience. No-one here is butthurt, I just feel like some people need to learn to appreciate what they get offered rather than just start complaining about things they really shouldn't complain about. The thing with the shirt looks silly from one perspective but not every organisation has the money to just throw stuff around so I can understand the idea(eventhough I disagree with it, as myself having run/managed MGC's just for credibility of your organisation looking poor).

My comment wasn't just about DDD, I've done sponsor2team relations for Decerto and did small things for winFakt. I ran ONEMOVE.ESO for over a year as-well and with that I even provided LAN support to a CS, COD and an ET team, but the ET teams kept complaining that they wanted more and more, where the other games where just happy to get any support at all(small because I ran that project just for myself to learn more management skills and paid it all from my own pocket). It really is just a spoiled attitude that a lot of people here give to others(happens in these kinds of things but ESL and the whole AC situations are examples aswell).

edit: I'm not in any way working or related to DDD btw, don't know if you ment the 'keep up the good work' was meant towards me in that way just looked like it :D Also im not disagreeing with you that some of the replies from timbo don't make DDD look any better :P but you cant blame him, hes just the messenger from DDD (no hard feelings tim :D)

Ice cream can't be reused? Haven't you seen 2 girls 1 cup?

it's 5-10 min per week. I'm sure you have exactly same thoughts about Marcus and others who don't change nicknames on their bncs :-)
