Suspension

Well, first and foremost, i'd like to thank everybody who's help support this league through it's season and a half.

It's been a trip, but for now, i'ma have to do something a few people might not like to hear.

As of now, we are suspending the ADL-5v5 league.

We're going to wait and see if interest builds up a little as people get back to school, but as for now, there is not enough participation to keep the league going.

Again, thank you for your time, and happy times in the future.

______

Had to be done.

[det`]

WTF?

[di.oof]

I honestly don't understand why interest dropped out. Sure, I have a few concerns about the lack of administrative function going on for a while and ppl who can somehow spend 1 hr playing a match but not take 5 seconds to press a few buttons on a website and report scores thereby making the league look dead until the night before, but seriously what happened?

[Hampster]

'tis a pity since there's a couple a/d maps that are perfect for 5v5, but ah well. It was fun.

[Loser]

of the four matches schedule for last week, one was played and reported, one was a forfeit, and for the last two nobody bothered to report scores or anything else. two active teams does not a league make :(

if there is sufficient interest in the future (say, ten teams or so) the league will be revived.

[Capita]

Bad time...(for me anywayz lol)...For a Wednesday night any match that ends 12:00-12:30 is late.

[Cent]

Hoes were just about to make a comeback and beat rot.

that's... about what happened.

[colin]

i don't know about you guys but we always reported scores in a prompt and timely fashion

[Killa]

lol we played last week? Funny.

I enjoyed 5v5 for the soul purpose of it being easier on my software mode ass. However, playing [PmP] and then .rot week after week got a bit tiresome.

I think its agrred that .mkta// will forever be known as the greatest 5v5 ADL Team of all time since the creation of the carbon atom.

mkta was actually really lame. when you had 5 ppl with rep and hell, yet they refused to play -a- because they "did not know momentum" :\

[Telos]

actually, we played any team on any map and often lost to teams that we are considered better than. For instance, we play PmP this past week and had a really close match on asti_r, but still lost. We also played Harmony, RaisanBran, wus, halo, and office.

If you are gonna use this thread to try and talk shit, I suggest you take it to the cesspool.

GG adl 5v5, I had fun in it while it lasted!

i didn't really consider it talking shit, its common knowledge rep and hell said they refused to play because they did not know the map is all.

[[-n0s-]]

How gay. aF was just trying to see if we could get enough people to play but i guess that wont be happening now.

[HustlerOne]

time to retire

[di.oof]

Well let's not consider this set in stone. All we have to do is generate more teams and show that the interest is there.

Easier said than done, but don't join 5v5 because you thought of a clever name for a clan one night and then play for a week (or not at all). Have some commitment. Have a desire to learn new maps (big one), have the undying passion to destroy the reign of terror and dismantle them from their undefeated 34 win streak ( :P jk but cmon SOMEONE has to beat them once... lol! )

[Dogysamich]

have the undying passion to destroy the reign of terror and dismantle them from their undefeated 34 win streak ( :P jk but cmon SOMEONE has to beat them once... lol! )

First, it was total domination of DBL

Then it was the big upset vs 3v on dustbowl in ADL with the longest come-from-behind cap3 hold in history

Then it was pure rape of STA-5v5, from the screening ladder to multi plat title defenses.

Then dickin around in cs (i dunno what happened/is happening there)

To a 34 or so -0 win streak in ADL-5v5.

THE HUNGER'S TOO MUCH!

This doesnt really ring a bell.

I know I didnt make every match, or most matches for tthat matter because I am generally busy during the week, but I do rememebr playing with hell and Rep on momentum. I dont ever remember them not wanting to play a match, especially not with the stupid excuse of "did not know momentum", because the fact is they didnt know many of the maps, but never complained about it. If we did indeed forfeit a match, that would not of been the excuse, so why not just grow the fuck up fong?

we are 4-1 in cs i think

altho i havent played a match yet

[MightyMouse]

Were 4-1 in CS only because the 1 match we lost 16-14 was because the other team wouldnt schedule anything other then the default day and time, not even an hour later, so Jlim and others could show. -=P

Also, rot vs PmP when they scored the 2nd cap in .12532 seconds on a dustbowl style map was preety close I think.

You're missin the point dammit, which is that the Reign of Terror is omnipresent throughout the history of half-life. >.<

PeePs updates the site once every few months or longer. I'm pretty sure some matches aren't on there but most are i think.

omg that site is still up? rofl

oh

dear

god

The old .rot site!

With the sta-5v5 roster.

Damn that brings back memories. Like my first match in spot.

ihaveaname: "OH WAY TO GO DOGY. PUT THE FLAG IN THE DOGY SPOT!"

[klob-]

saw this comin =/

[Sylon[DMS]]

Eh, had fun with the PTW 5v5 and that one match I did with mkta where I was the only one who knew the map :X

[mugs]

GAMESNET!

[Mario]

the one time i dont report scores... jomma told me he already did it :/

which time were you referring too. The dogy spot happened atleast 3 times.

[Dogysamich]

my VERY first match with rot.

I'm pretty sure it was DBL. It was on dustbowl regardless.

The birth of what would forever be known as "The Dogy Spot"

The sole reason why i do not touch flags in ADL.

[goliath]

u people need to get over urselves, this is a video game...

[Loser]

Well let's not consider this set in stone. All we have to do is generate more teams and show that the interest is there.

QFT. the adl 5v5 web site is still active and the league can/will be restarted if sufficient interest is shown (ie, valid teams enrolled).

[pitsniper]

gg

was good fun. I considered taking 3v off for a while but there were few teams as it was

fun thing about the league, although could be bad, was nobody really cared about the competition, with the exception of rot, so teams would allow 2 or 3 ringers, or change the map a lot since most of the maps (all db style) were not suitable for 5v5 play. Seemed like people just wanted close matches, and nobody ever complained, was fun. Was also fun playing 5 pyro, or going against a d with 3 snipers, or playing classes i would never typically play like hw. And we almost got mkta to play a climb map for title match. cma, mkta, pmp, kings, etc were all fun to play. Too bad there were too many forfeits, I know I was responsible for like half since I was terrible at submitting scores, ohh well

[AlphaBot_ILC]

We all know that with cent and I pulling out hoes again this is an elaborate way for .rot to keep its unbeaten streak! FTW!

Seriously though I think most of us saw this one coming a long time ago. ADL 5v5 was really fun but when 95% of the clans we faced forfeited every week nothing can be done. GG to dogy for helping run the show, giving us all a few months of fun.

If you are implying rot did not allow ringers, well, I have no recollection of such a thing. I recall at least a few times where we let teams use ringers because playing 5v4 is just no fun.

i was probably making a reference to a match you had against cma that i was going to ring in that ended up being maybe a 3v3

i'm probably wrong anyways, i really meant that it was more relaxed in other matches, and felt more serious against rot

[Dogysamich]

or change the map a lot since most of the maps (all db style) were not suitable for 5v5 play.

try nobody wouldnt play maps then havent whored into the ground. I can safely say mapwise, this league was almost as bad as a ctf league when it came to maps.

[di.oof]

I think the only sticky map was creek_x, in that you could win the match by simply running an all scout defense.

Other than that it was all open to developing a good rotation over time. I enjoyed the challenge of figuring out the tricks in "new" maps as it leveled the playing field a little bit.

[Killa]

It deffinetely was more relaxed. I remember numerous times just telling teams that couldnt field 5 (GTA, etc lol) to just find any 5 bodies, and we would play any map they wanted. Wont find that in the 8v8 league.

However, this relaxation is why I would opt to go out instead of play in these matches, because it wasn't very serious and half the times the other team wouldnt field enough anyways.

Cat you smell like a ferret.

You were in the minority. Trust me.

[jungle juice]

ill bring -dt- back to adl-5v5 if it re-opens just give the word.

[red baron]

Yeah we were just getting ready to bring it back to be honest.

[valk]

vR* would like to play .rot and ruin their streak (LOLZ??)

na but oi, someone talk to me #vr :(

[HustlerOne]

.rot vs vR* WIN (342 - 208)

[mugs]

this is quite odd. I use to always see recruitment threads for adl 5v5 and all people do is bump them.

oh well maybe when it starts again people will realize there are players that want to play! =]

[valk]

.rot vs vR* WIN (342 - 208)

i wasnt there! and it was on that retarded tf_aztec map ;_;

proper map plz! with one round usa, one round aus!

[fong]

:D euro leagues didn't do that for us, and we still packed their shit

[valk]

yeh but u get 150-200 ping there not 250-300

[Loser]

valk, get your roster up please.

[FaZe]

adl 5v5 , its serious business.

[jungle juice]

loser or any admin put -dt- back in there :)

and if any questions come to the channel below and speak with me :)

[di.oof]

C'mon folks let's Frankenstein this thing. My Wednesdays are already boring as hell!! :/
