Judging by the amount of teams so far registered here (2), this event isn't looking very promising.

It's promising, and it'll work, it's just that...people are not used to finding someone to create a team with to play the event, it's easier for people to just sign up and get drawn into random teams, and then play the event. Imo, that's the prob here.
And i know you want it otherwise for this event players to make the team, but it might take a while to get the teams sorted out that way.

Anyway, maybe me, clefe, ralfalfa and Dawkins72 could make 1 team? We'd need 1 more guy though. and who could be the captain then?

Nice banner Fuga

[ajbns87]

Cosa Nostra Awesome graphics bro.

Thanks for signing up.

Team is likely to be the favourites, but I'm sure The Living Legends and The Damned MC team will give you a good challenge.

Dawkins72 , thanks for signing up Bro. If I didn't belong to a gang on here I'd definitely be happy to team up with you (you are always welcome to join The Damned MC though, we play in other events together, same applies to all participants here)

I hope some more teams get sorted soon.

Some of the players I'm interested in hearing from are aldyguy? PUKEMAGGOTS? Chromarkno? Oklahoma Jake?

@Andy,

Yeah you are right making teams isn't as easy as some players might of expected, I hope nobody has felt left out by doing it this way. I chose to do it this way, because people wanted it this way!
Protecting the Wolf 2 will definitely be completely random teams.

Try to make a team, if not possible I'll list you as another "crook for hire".

EL FUGA's team might look very strong, but they are beatable.

Sounds great. With captain, it's yours if you want it. I don't play CnC a ton, so it would be better to have someone experienced at the helm.

[AndyGanteks]

I'm not experienced with CnC either, but i liked the way it's done it's the previous CnC Cup, so i wanted to play it again in an event.
I think we need a very good CnC player as the captain though.

[ajbns87]

Dawkins is an excellent player, I'm sure he'd make a very decent captain, he should also try to get another experienced player involved.

I suggest new players read the following tips below. (Taken from my first event).

# Boss is always entitled to first weapon, some spawn locations may place crooks unavoidably on weapon spawns, if so be sure to use it. Keeping the boss alive is key to victory, if cops spawn close sacrifices should be made to give bosses as much time to get to safety as possible. Crooks should always pay attention to bosses with out microphones / communication skills to work out location of incoming cops(they will shoot in the cops location/direction),vehicles should always be brought to a boss, safely. Don't expect them to hop in though, most bosses prefer to drive themselves. The first 60 seconds of the match are most important to the crooks, get armed, get vehicles, eliminate cops. Always try and kill the driver if they come at you with drivebys
# Crooks should always try to stick close to a boss, if you drift apart, the respawn can effect the boss, leaving him getting over-crowded by cops. Bosses should always try to get body armour, as it can mean the difference between life and death when escaping, to help stay alive, take advantage of the city, learn the short cuts, back streets and ramps, collect weapons and use appropriately, don't stand in the middle of the street, drops grenades if you are being pursued, don't jump out of your car if it goes on fire, look for a health pack instead, use interiors for cover, never stay in one place for too long. Swim if you must, but be sure to get out of the water as soon as you can. Remember experienced players will always know the getaway location, if you don't see them during the game, they are probably waiting armed and dangerous for your arrival. Most players are likely to give chase however.
# Cops should always turn off sirens to begin, in a chase situation they can be useful to move traffic though. Cop car drivers always come armed with a combat shotgun, take advantage of this. Splitting up into multiple cars can be effective, but also sticking together with a single decent driver is a good tactic too. Use the map, if you spawn close it might be better to rush in, if the crooks have a decent headstart, it might be better to play with more precaution. Set-up road blocks, predict the route the crooks will take to escape, park the car in cover if you decide to go on foot, get a flat tyre look for a health pack. Use all the weapons on offer and not just your SMG, don't underestimate the value of grenades.
# Don't drive straight into gun fire, , drive side to side, at angle and so forth, provide a distraction to the crooks and allow crooks on foot to move in, always try to surround bosses, so they have no where to run, work together as a team and don't go in one by one, play as a team and not individuals, multiple targets are a lot harder to kill. If you have a sniper rifle be sure to remain hidden using crouch, if you can't directly hit the boss, try to spot his getaway car and shoot the tires, or keep the target lined up to the drivers seat. Use helicopters, drop bombs from the sky. Remember you're free to play however you wish in this event, even camp if you feel the need.

I hope it helps.

The last time I was the captain for anything was when I was the captain of my high school volleyball team..... but hey why not. I guess my duties are to keep the scores, direct some traffic during the matches, and try to get everyone to show up? I'll do my best I guess.

Considering the overwhelming skill level of the competitors in the tournament, I do have an appropriate name for our team..... The Underdogs.

[AndyGanteks]

Sounds good.
The Underdogs.

The Underdogs have been added.

Just to confirm.

The team currently consists of
Captain:Dawkins72
Members: AndyGanteks, theclefe and ralfalfa.

You should try to recruit at least one more player.

underdogs, try to get a mic if you still don't got one, they're cheap at wal-mart.

Look forward to seeing your team Etherreal.

Mics are useful in CnC, but not essential.

I usually don't use a mic but for you bro, I'll make an exception. I also have an "underdog" strategy against these powerful teams that just may work. I'll run it by you and the others for feedback before the tournament starts. Our chances are not good, but goddamnit we should try our best.

[trabet]

add me aj sounds like fun

[AndyGanteks]

Maybe trabet as the 5th guy for The Underdogs?
