CAL Red Orchestra

[[TW]Wilsonam]

We will try and support any reputable leagues taking an interest in the game. Ultimately it should attract new (quality) players... helps advertise the game... If there are too many leagues for the number of players, then some of the leagues will drop out again!

Sounds good Wilson

A fun idea to kickstart it all would be to give one of the top teams in another CAL competition (say CS or COD2) some copies of RO and a few weeks to prepare and have them face off an established RO clan. Have it televised on TSNcentral or equivalent.

 

[Tanis]

Out of curiosity, and since I've never bothered looking into something like this before, when you ask for people to help with the league, just how much time and effort are you expecting people to be able to give in a given week?

An hour, two, ten, fifty?

 

[CAL|DMiller]

Whatever people are willing to give is what they can give. We typically look for about ten hours a week helping out with disputes (arguments between teams over match scores/time/etc) and then there are other issues which require MORE attention that go to the game-manager or operations folks like myself.

Good to see someone is as excited as I am! If you're interested, toss an application our way.

I would love to, but unfortunately that evil force known as Dark Side (aka Real Life ) keeps me too busy to be able to put much time in to anything. IC is about as much time as I have to put into competative play anymore, and all I've done with that is sign up!

 

[CAL|DMiller]

Just put up the RO page for CAL

 

[Manstein]

Glad to hear of this, my application has been sent

WOW!!!! This is the best news ever for RO. I believe TWL will die and I'm sure it will because TWL has nothing on CAL. I hope CAL will not leave us when they commit to RO! I can't believe I will be able to play RO for a living LOL that is the goal! For all of you in the RO community doesn't know what CAL is, then you guys need to compete more.

 

[Hyperion2010]

I registered over at CAL cause I figure once I'm setteled in at college I'll be spending some time there .

There are TONS of people on the forums, of course most of them are for CSS, but hey, our little ROO wil show them whose boss

 

[CAL|DMiller]

Should have some more informatio about CAL:RO in the next day/so.

 

[[CiA]Stiletto]

Fascinating...

 

[Ghad]

12vs12 is a real challenge logistically, i would like to see rules geared against 10vs10. With 8vs8 as the minimum, and 12vs12 as the maximum.

 

[MeatEtr]

This is awesome news. I might finally join a clan, it's worth it now .

 

[Hyperion2010]

Ghad, I realize that there are major logistical problems with 12v12, but think of it this way, it gives clans who want to participate in CAL room to grow and take on new memebers. Clearly that is also a logistical problem, but the alternative is not as attractive. Personally ROO is best played with larger numbers of players, while I can see 8v8 working, the bigger problem with that IMO is that the reinforcements aspect of the game never really comes in to play which means that we wont see the kind of realistic tactical play that could be possible with 12v12.

 

[ProfessorKayos]

While its good to see more leagues interested in RO, I must say you seem overly optimistic. I hope a 10v10 or 8v8 league will succeed...but I don't see it happening, in North America anyway.

As I said, my clan would in all likelihood play, but how many others? There are only 3-4 active North American clans playing 8v8 matches. Hopefully the Free Weekend changes this, but if not I doubt RO would remain on CAL for long.

 

[Yoshiro]

It seems RO has been taken off the ladder list. Just as a heads up to all those who were interested.

 

[Hyperion2010]

****

 

[REZ]
