We're looking for a good forward for the upcoming tournament. Someone that can bring us closer to the top by their sheer brillance on the ice. Our goal is of course to reach the Elite division.
Preferably someone who leans C/RW, since we already have some great options to the left.
I know that there is some great forwards out there, so save me the trouble and contact either ...
Billy44205 on PSN or on NHLGamer
Ralfduran on PSN or Jesus on NHLGamer
... if you wanna be part of this EXCITING journey back to the top!

So I'm really happy to announce that Otroliga Esox is back in the team. IMO one of the best defenders of all time on the Xbox-scene and a huge part in whatever success we had before.
With that said, we're currently 6 players in this oh so wonderful club. Remember. We look for quality, but we also look for a passion of learning. Join us and let's be creative together!

Yeah Jesus I get it. New user, not too many posts etc but this isnt just some folio-hat stuff. I actually got this idea from LeagueGaming. Plus me and my buddies are thinking about joining this league but so far we couldnt really compete. Maybe as we get to practice more we will join.
Thanks for the that. I wasnt aware.
I was just kidding with you. But fact of the matter is that nhlgamer will implement lots of the things your asking for. You seem to have missed the debate we already had before this thread. I'm for divisions, but not 3 division since I think it will kill a lot of activity for mediocre or lesser teams. Time will tell, but I'm right!
The only new idea you brought to the table was the thing about top teams having minor clubs in the lower division. Like Barcelona or Real Madrid in La Liga. To me, it's a cateshropic idea, but might sound interesting to others.
And yes, LeaugeGaming has some nice concepts.
For the people who don't know. What more do you want added from LeaugeGaming?

Not 100% sure but didnt NHL have clubs before FIFA?.
That might be true. But I know that the CoG name came from the FIFA scene, in some type of constellation. We started to play EASHL the first day of NHL 09. So not sure if it's possible to be an older EASHL club at least.
Interested to know in what form HC Sika was formed in 2007.
Not that it matters lol

Northern Stars and Company of Geeks should be up for the title as well. Both teams started out in 08, if I remember it correctly. No team couldn't really compete in virtual hockey before that.
Pretty sure CoG was a FIFA-club before a hockey club for example. So not sure your the oldest!

How come so many finnish teams only looks for other finnish players? Some of them even write their messages in finnish, making sure no other nationality will apply for their team.
I detect some racism. This oppression will not stand!

Company of Geeks!!!
The old gang is looking to make a comeback on the NHL scene worthy of the CoG name. At the very least we need:
- a Defenseman
- a Goalie
But we also need more players (preferably able to play several positions) in order to be active enough. The core of the team has played together for years and we have plenty of ECL experience. If you want to join the Geeks' ride back to their rightful status, go ahead and contact us:
Billy44205 on PSN or on NHLGamer
Ralfduran on PSN or Jesus on NHLGamer
Can I join? Oh wait I'm already in the team. However, if I was a free agent or just tired of my current uninspiring team, I would join these guys in a heartbeat!
You should do the same.

Yeah I think as well there shoud be 2 divisions. Guess we will see some "weak" teams in 1 division as well so thats why Unknown are more than welcome but anyway will see how many teams are in 1 div. And guys go private if need throw more shit plz this isnt kindergarden right ?
Perhaps. But Im pretty certain that we can expand the number of teams that will be able to compete in div 1. There is a lot of quaility out there. That must be our goal, right? I don't think the magical number is 16. Right now, I think there is 20 teams that could make for a exciting first division. I see no reason why they shouldn't be able to compete.
Also keep in mind that a larger div 1 opens up for a more competetive and even division 2 since there will be more ok teams competing against each other and not elite teams crushing ok teams with a narrow div 1. It will also be really hard for newcomers in div 1 to establish themselfs if the division is so tight and closed. We have to give newcomers some sort of breathing room.
This will make for a healthy league.

I'm perhaps one of the few people that wanted ECL 3 to be played like this one more time, so you're thoughts on me are far away from being true. I've enjoyed this but we dont have to do it three times per year. We've seen it already.
"Kill the competetiveness" by adding more meaningful games? This is something I just dont get. We have two very different opinions on this, that is all.
Like I said, we'll see.
We will.
I'm not saying we shouldn't aim for competitive gaming. I'm saying that anything else than two divisions are contraproductive in order for us to achieve our goal.
Do you think the team that drops out from division 2 will try to battle their way back to division 2? I think not. In fact I think that team will stop playing or dismantle all together. What we have to understand is ... Every team in this community matter.
More than two divisions also makes it super hard to attract newcomers.

It's a interesting thing. When the game we play gets more accessible with its features from the start, the community itselfs gets more restrictive and closed.

So lets have two big divisions, just because of midtable teams wouldn't create their own league and have bigger chance to win real (easier) championship? Nah, sounds boring.
This is the way to make NHL-gaming (EASHL) go next level. To make this matter, to make this more competetive and real what it has never been before. Why should we basically do the same stuff over and over again - and get nowhere with it. I guess we know what happened to Consoleblogspothockey?
No more conference bs - you know, as we split the one big league to half and have zero chance to play ECL against other elite teams. Making Divisions work is not easy. It's not only making two/three different groups of teams and let them play between eachother.
What you guys scare in playing more big games? Isn't it the point of eSports? To play as competetive as we can.
I'm not gonna carry on with this conversation as I have already told what I want and wish from NHLGamer now and in the future. Just my opinions, and hopefully Gamer's as well.
We'll see it tonight.
You will still be able to compete against elite teams in the highest division. Your chasing something that isn't there. Things don't get more competetive and real only because we have 3-4 divisions instead of 2 divisions. In fact, you make things less exciting. There is nothing exciting about reaching division 2 or dropping out from div 2. You will only get worse teams in the bottom and less activity. .
In fact, you kill competition. The only point with divisions is the gap between div 1 and 2. That we can try and we will! But hopefully, I hope the staff don't take it further than that since it will only hurt the community BIG TIME!
Also. You act like this tournament is a fiasco. In a way it is, but in terms of activity and number of good teams it's a success. Much to be done to better this community. Divisions might be one thing, but definitely not the most urgent or vital change.

I see a very one-sided debate here btw, with only top level teams expressing their feelings. Fact of the matter is. Your not the problem. You will play no matter what!
2/3 of the community are okay teams. We have to find the best solution for that group. If not, expect the future tournaments in this game series to be played on some obscure russian forum with 10 participants. Is that what you want?
No, that is not what we want.

30 in Div1 (ECL) might not be quite competetive enough as there would still be too big skill diffeferences between top and "ok" teams. And if there was 16 in Div1, and all the rest in Div2, it would be the same but in Div2 that time and I think with three divisions, the game will be more fun for everybody.
I like the idea that teams should play against their own level teams - for an example: "Elite team" playing against "possible quitter team" or just literally "amateur team" is not fun or competetive to any team. And lets be honest here - we can divide our community's skill easily to three divisions by just looking at our teams right now. We have top teams, midtable teams and teams that take it in the ass even from midtable teams. Just being realistic and saying it like this so everyone here understands what's the point of Divisions.
Personally I think that NHLGamer will take huge steps for NHL-scene with their new, fixed Division-system.
Ask anyone who seriously respects the competetiviness big time, and meanwhile also looks to the future - not just next season.
It will still be competetive gaming whether it is 16, 20 or 30 teams in div 1. Bad teams will still take it in the butt, no matter the current division. The downside for shit teams placed in divison 3 is the fact that they will never be able to attract good players to their team hence they will never become better. Quite the opposite all good or ok players in bad teams will leave for teams in higher division leaving bad teams at the bottom for ever. As a consequence they will stop playing. Quick question. Do bad teams only wanna play against other bad teams? Do we know that?
Depending on how Kenu and CO decides to formate this, new teams (for the most times teams consisting of veteran players) will also kill the competition in div 3, 4 or 5 if they have to go through the bottom division. What is the point?
We also have to look at reality here and design the tournament format after that fact. Most teams are ok teams. If you look at this years tournament, there is maybe 4-5 teams that perhaps could have more fun in their own league. But the absolute majority will manage to compete in a midlevel-league.
A suggestion could be. 20 teams in div 1 and 30-40+ teams in div 2 divided into two groups. To me, its much better to expand the existing two divisions based on number of teams, rather than the number of divisons.
More than two divisions punish too many ok teams. It also slows down the process of expanding the league in number of activity and it achieves nothing. Believe me! -
Lol
About the divisions. Two divisions, not three. More divisions than two will kill this community and destroy the possibility of new teams forming. Not the way to go!
