[NHL Gamer unofficial tournament schedules]

Huge thanks @Kenu from your super quick response !!! I value this and keep in mind that plans and timings can change. But its good that now i can inform my team that it is likely that FCL is next on line before ECL.

I believe that seeing this makes some  Finns who have signed to be a free agent in eSHL think it twice. And of course GMs of those eSHL teams too.

I believe that if possible, this could be a good unofficial forum for NG admins to inform us if some plans get confirmed on your work list. Or changed. For excample; "next (in about 1-2 week, we plan to start working to set up FCL... More info probably in 2-3 weeks." "Or we have to cancel FCL / move FCL to Q2... more info coming later"... Or stuff like that... it would be appreciated.

[NHL Gamer unofficial tournament schedules]

Hello, and greetings here from the very much too early end of the season party  

Could you...NG  consider of changing protocol a bit and start sharing your guesses from the future tournaments? Specially unofficial schedules / starting days / weeks / months / what ever....

It is of course fun to play!!! but main thing why i am asking, is that this is important info for many general managers. Knowing length of the off-season is important when doing plans on how to handle your roster. This effects on "staying alive" % of the club. If club plays ECL it is very different if off-season is 1 or 4 month. Not everyone want to play this game all year long.

Who cares if someone gets pissed if you share some unofficial guesses of schedules and things don`t happen as planned. It may help many on their plans and team management.

We have heard from you that:

eSHL starts January(maybe replaced scl?) and:

• ECL (Europe - Q4 2019)
• NACL (North America - TBC)
• FCL (Finland - 2020)
• GCL (Germany - 2020)
• RCL (Russia - October 14th, 2019)
• SCL (Sweden - 2020)

Soooo here we go to the first attempt  .... Can you make unofficial guess of when will next ECL happen? Or some other European wide tournament?

Br, Kose

33yo Finnish Dude looking for team Pro/Lite, back-up role in a good team may be fine too. I play RW, RD, LW, LD at pretty much same level.

Last year i worked as GM of The Dudes. I have about 150(about 50 % RW and 50% RD) game experience in NHL Gamer tournaments. 

I am not that chatty in English parties, but i can communicate in English so English speaking teams are ok. I can commit to planned schedules.

I am ready for tryouts!

EDIT: I found a team. Thanks for tryouts everyone!

[How many ECL divisions should there be?]

49 minuuttia sitten, Lionite kirjoitti:

And it looks like you missed my point that a new team should absolutely always start from the lowest level. It's not encouraging that you don't have to start from the bottom with a new team? If there is division that you can just skip with your new team because you've played in a good team in the past? Does all new teams start from this new division or just some? If not all, how do you differentiate who gets to start from where? Face value?

Looking forward a bit, if that new division has a team limit, such as 32 or whatever was suggested, someday that's going to become full like Pro is now. So do we then start to drop teams already there to Lite or don't let Lite champions promote, when by that same criteria (again; face value ?) one of these allegedly new better teams gets formed again and they should get to skip Lite and go straight to this new division? Or do we then just make 5th division to circumvent this exact same "problem" again? Or do we close our eyes and ears and believe hard enough that when number of teams and players rise, number good players doesn't and this will not be problem again in the future?

I think that new teams should start from bottom of division table, and if they are good enough, they will get promoted. If they don't, then they clearly ain't good enough or as good as they think. Almost all teams got into playoffs last season in Lite, and i don't believe you can win or lose whole best-of-7 playoff series entirely by luck.

3 divisions and if there is 3rd ECL season in a future, it's possible to make it into Elite in the same NHL game's lifespan.

I am not sure what is best way to decide what teams should start where. Maybe it is face factor or experience points or something else. I think number of teams in divisions dont have to be carved in stone. If there is some new Elite teams they can take a spot from Semi and those teams can be added to that 32 team division. Its no biggie is there 32, 33, 34 or even 36 teams in a division.

I think 4 divisions is good number and then we can start making divisions bigger if we see that its the best solution.

That skill cap is always going to be there when elite and pro teams disband, and players from those teams start new teams. Creating new division just for that reason would go against the idea of divisions in the first place; encourage teams to stay together longer and not do exactly that, disband and make new team every season.

Looks like you have missed the point that with 4 divisions these new teams would not have to start at the lowest level. With 3 divisions options are 1. make those Elite guys start in Lite with new comers who barely now the buttons. 2. Let Elite guys start in PRO... but on my opinion this encourages to break up teams and start new ones too much. But if there is just two season per NHL i kind of get that it is necessary to be able to start in Pro. But hey, we want and need more ECL seasons. Cut off other tournaments if needed.

And i seriously dont get with what logic have you got to conclusion that it would encourage teams to disband. It does the opposite.

I mean, if you really wanna balance out the division you have to make Elite/Pro bigger.

If you just add a fouth division without adding teams to pro you still have about 40/40 in semi-pro/lite. You haven't changed anything. What is the point?

 

The point is that it is not fun to play against teams that are on totally different level. Skill cap between 80 teams is just too big. There is teams that have played together for years and teams that have players who are still learning buttons.

I think it's better to divide lite in multiple groups rather than make more divisions, unless we'll found some absolutely fool proof way of deciding into which division each new team should go to.

 

I think not getting from lite to elite fast enough is a valid argument. Not saying it should be fast and easy, but it should be difficult only for the right reasons. Having to be good enough and practicing, for example. It shouldn't feel difficult just because it's slow. @iSvamp used Vesa Pompa as an example: they were placed into lite despite being way too much of an overkill for that division, just like Oton Letkutemppu.

 

It is frustrating as fuck having to play against teams that don't stand a chance against you, unless they get extremely lucky. There is nothing competitive, developing or exciting going into the games knowing it's one of those nights you just have to get over with and there's nothing for you to win, just to lose. It's something you see in pro as well, now imagine going through three divisions like that before getting to elite. And if you fail in just one playoff series, as teams underperform and get seeded lower than they should, you'll repeat that same division all over again.

 

Like i said before. Vesa Pompa is not a good example for you guys. First of all, they didn`t even raise to PRO on their first season. At their first season in ECL Lite they played with team name Lehmannen Badboyz and managed to gain 19 points in 16 games.  Second season they gained 36 points in 26 games. Is this the team that should have start in Elite or what?  They have got better during this time, but when they started... they were not clearly better than some Lite teams. In fact my team played both of those seasons in same group with those guys and during that time my team gained more points.

Just because some team has Elite level player or two does not mean that the team is Elite level.

Can i ask, how would you evaluate who should start in Lite/Pro/Elite? 

E: and if the problem is that there is too many good players playing at lower levels, shouldnt we talk about taking more teams to Pro and Elite?

I dont understand why the "easy way to the top" is the main subject here right now. Like, no one has said that the "new teams" should get promoted asap. They still need to win games and qualify from Pro to Elite.

All I'm saying is like @iSvamp said, requiring like over one year to compete in the highest level, is just nonsense when we are talking about as small scene as we have in our hands.

How about the opinions on the actual matter of subject? Four divisions or three, and how many seasons per year if there would be four.

After all I like the current system but it won't hurt to fix it as it needs to be fixed at some point, as the current system was builed like four years ago when NHLGamer had under 80 teams playing ECL. And how many we have right now? Exactly... A lot more than that.

Exactly. Main point is number of divisions... Last season there were about 80 teams just in Lite. So size of Lite is about the same than what was whole ECL when community decided to split it in three divisions. 80-100 teams division makes no sense...at least not at its current form.

I have seen 0 good speach of why there should be just 3 divisions. If we want that Elite dudes can join straight to Pro or Elite with new club, we can do so no matter is there four or even five divisions.

I don't see the problem, why is it required to reach the top division in one NHL game if you start out in the lowest division?

If you play the game for fun, then you play with your friends no matter which division you're in.

If you play the game to reach the top, either fight for a spot in a team already at the top or get into a lower division team and prove that you are worth it.

If you want to see YOUR team reach the top, start from the lowest division and build the best team you can of players that will accept to play in lower divisions. This is a challenge as it should be, nothing worth having comes easy.

Edit: Since I'm ECL Staff, I'd like to point out that this is my personal opinion.

Exactly. There is over 5000 users in this community and maybe under 150 players in ELITE. Why should it be easy and fast to get there with your own team? If you playing in PRO or LITE feels like pulling nails, join some Elite team trough tryouts. There is great players and even teams in Lite and Pro every season. But the elite of the elite players and specially teams play in ELITE.
