Xtra was on africa last year guys. He was just using Central as a rebound team like he did last year. NBD tbh.

Also Conflict, the only people who honestly have pride in their country for wcop is Haunter. That nigga took like 6 WCoP's to get his team into the actual event. Round of applause for that nigga <333

Haunter, some people obviously do care, so don't dismiss it. Just because there is a rule in the OP stating that xtrashine can join US Central after Afrabs got eliminated, doesn't mean it's a good rule. At the very least, it should be re-evaluated for next year if people have issues with it.

I agree with Philip. But don't forget that xtra isn't the only one. Everyone is talking about him but there is also Grind pantera who managed to join the benelux's line up i don't know how

Grind_Pantera is 1/4 dutch, do you think I'll let him tale my spot in main team if he wasn't eligible ?

I think that you're all overexaggerating. Also Phil, "dura lex sed lex", if the rules say that he's allowed to join another team, then live with it. If you think that that rule is unfair, then suggest to change it.

1/4 doesn't mean eligible for me, but anyway, i wasn't talking about that. I was talking about his switch from Team Africa/Middle East to Benelux.
When you choose to play for a team, i think that you shouldn't be allowed to play for an other one in the same season

I just did exactly that, didn't I? Whether you think people are exaggerating or not doesn't mean we should just dismiss it.

I honestly do think that we need to start forcing users to commit to their teams. It's the World Cup, for Christ's sake, not random x team tournament. If you join a team and it's eliminated, whether it's part of the prelims or not, you should be eliminated with it. If you were on one team one year, you should have to try out for the same team the next year.

Doing it here makes little sense. Just pm the organizers and discuss with them about changing that rule.

Also, I do actually agree with your sentiments, I just do not approve people attacking him for doing something that he's allowed to do.

Well, since the better Afrab players joined other teams, I guess there won't be a team Africa-Middle East next year. Meaning no more play-offs.

There wasn't a rule like that last year when xtrashine, yondie, sergio aguero played for Central, East, and Europe. Anyway drop such useless controversy.

it'd be unfair for xtra to not be able to join other teams, because everyone else didn't have to play just to join wcop

unless there was some kind of a qualifying tournament before wcop that determines which teams are going to be in wcop

And im not a big fan of some people jumping teams/locations like its their job. Kinda sad that 'some people' rather play together with a bunch of online-friends rather than with the region they are associated with. Looks like they dont have any pride for their country nor any honour or shame. Well not like that is anything new.....
GO Germany GO!

This.

Until US West (or any other team for that matter) has to compete in a prelim battle just to get the team -in- to the main event, you should probably not cast stones at the players of Africa for joining other teams.

If you were in their shoes you would do the exact same thing, and if the option were taken away from you, you would rage.
