I stop by the forums expecting to see some light hearted bantering, inane arguments and flame wars of epic proportions, and what do I see? Our NA Division being trash talked by our very own Countess.
Allow me to shed some light on INForcers history, and I apologize to those who don't care
1st Division Cup: Was the first match the NA division ever played. Our commander at the time couldn't make it, so I got stuck with the job. Back then we were doing the whole cup on one side of the hemisphere, i.e., whole thing on NA, whole thing on Euro. First one was on Euro servers.
Second Division Cup played on NA server: TIED. We weren't sure what to do with the tie. A decision was made to play the tie-breaker on a Euro server on the map Siberia, where ping matters a lot. NA lost the "tie breaker." It's hard to call this a win by either side.
Also, the numbers got a little messed up. At one point it was something like 7 Euro members vs. 4 NA on Azteca LITE, but being good sports we allowed it to compensate for ping.
Third one was won fairly by Euros. Although next time I think we should just log in and record our pings on both servers and let statistics decide the winner, to save us all some lag-induced frustration.
Disadvantaged side with 150 and above beats disadvantaged side with 220 and above.
I couldn't let people from other clans be the only ones defending our NA division's abilities.
[edit - Apoc, I think a lot of people would not have made it to the finals if GHOST and PhD were still around. I'd also like to point out that not a single one of the INForcers wins was a forfeit-win. Take a look at how many some other guys have.

Anyway, I look forward to a sweet championships match!
