Personally, I don't see a point in this competition. The old tournament was created to give the CTF community some exposure, plus rejuvenating it with new players. (I'm assuming Eddie didn't do it for some evil scientist reason) As far as I'm concerned, this 'contest' was just created because you guys are still bitter about losing to Acheron in the CTF tournament.
None of the teams Acheron played were really a team in my eyes. We were true to our roots, while the other teams constantly subbed in players (30Sec, Crea, etc) purely because they wanted to win. We rarely changed our team throughout the tournament. The majority of you only wanted to win; never hesitating to boot one of your players just to get an edge. We're a victim of circumstances here, which has caused the group of you to form a 'team'. Why do you guys want to go against us when the only reward would be bragging rights? Maybe Acheron won because we were the only true team.
Another thing that plagued the old tournament was the issue of integrity. (I can supply WOM logs if any of you decide to challenge my memories.) As stated above, you guys were really cut throat with your team. You disbanded your team for a chance at a title. Tell me, which is more important? In the actual matches, I can recall a few incidents where the other teams abused bugs to get an edge. In one instance, a player repeatedly killed one of our lagged out players to get points. This is against the rules in normal CTF, so there is absolutely no excuse as to why the bug was abused. On the same map (and possibly the same game) after an Acheron victory, players vehemently suggested that a player of ours was hacking because she (Chelliephant) was tnt jumping. The amount of "REMATCH", "HAX", and "LAG" whined about in this game proves that most people can't even handle a competition. In yet another instance, a player (bwinter) captured the flag after they died with it. As you all know, this was another bug.
To close this all out, I'm going to say this; I don't really want to play a match against overly prideful users that are binded together purely by their desire to win. The fact that some of them are less than virtuous doesn't exactly fuel my nonexistent desire to play, either.
