Introduction

 

Hi there,

 

I'm Athena and I will be using this thread to provide you with the latest news/ updates concerning the EN community on the ongoing 3rd season of starladder. I already discussed with couple of newspaper reporters the need of article regarding such article but since that doesn't seem to be happening I will be starting my own thread regarding this matter.( Goldrock started such article back in issue 29 but it didn't continue). This thread will be mainly focused on the progress and updates on handful of EN clans at the PRO series. If I find enough time for it i may also include the SEMI series clans in the future as well.

 

 

My goal

 

To inspire the younger generation of the EN community (I.e lower ranked) and provide them with a basic understanding on starladder/cybersports with the hope that it will eventually help an EN clan reach the star series in the future.

 

 

 

Technical difficulties

 

I will be entirely posting my posts/ updates through my smart phone since I have limited access to a PC atm. I hereby apologise for any hardships readers may go through while reading my posts due to the lack of organization, grammatical mistakes etc.

 

 

 

F.A.Q

 

 

 

what is starladder?

 

Starladder is a company specialized in e sports. In June 2014 Tanki online signed in a contract with them and as a result nearly most of cybesports battles are now organized and conducted by starladder.

New interview added

 

 

Interview with E.C member DoubleSh0t.

 

Athena: Hey DoubleSh0t!

 

DS: Hey Athena!

 

Athena: It's my pleasure to be talking with you. Can you introduce yourself to the community?

 

DS: Thank you, sure, My in Game nickname is DoubleSh0t, my old nickname was MT-Swagboy, and at the moment I'm playing for the clan Easy Company [E_C].

 

Athena: How is it going for EC in the stage 2 of the Semi series?

 

DS: Unfortunately, we lost our first game in Stage 2 of the Semi Series vs the russian clan FBI, In my opinion we have the Hardest Group in the Semi Series since 3 clans, E_C, FBI and PFH are battling hard for the first 2 places in the Group, we're now gonna play the decisive match tommorow 18/02/2015 vs PFH, if we lose we're out of the Semi Series, but we'll try our best and survive in this tournament.

 

Athena: In fact I believe the same too! I'm sure you have done well against FBI ro get a 1:2 score with them. Are you having any specific plans for you battle against PFH tomorrow?

 

DS: Yeah, we're training and working hard for this important match, because our goal is to play in PRO Series next Season, to do so we have to win this match and carry on, we have other plans but they're secret, since they are part of our tactic.

 

Athena: Great to here that! Moving on to our next question, what do you think of the current situation of the EN clans at PRO series?

 

DS: Sadly, I think they're not doing that great since only 1 clan out of 5 passed their group that is AK, they are doing so good since they won their first 3 matches against strong russian clans, I think AK got a really strong team and they can make it to the top 2 clans of the PRO Series, I would really like to see a clan playing against the Strongest clan of the game, from here I would like to wish them best of luck.

 

Athena: Unfortunately what you stated was exactly true. Let's hope that they will be able to make a stronger come back in the next season. Moving on to the next question, can you provide the newer EN clans at starladder with some advice with your previous experiences at cybersports section and starladder?

 

DS: Hope so, Here is some advice to the newbies out there, Start playing more Format battles in the Game to get more skilled and to Watch Live streams of Star Series matches, if you missed any, you can take a look on their youtube channel, here's the link of the Starladder channel that uploads every Star Series match there, https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTV_gHO2tKNXjLjhNuuR9rg

 

Athena:I'm sure the link you provided will help the readers alot! Will you be kind enough to share some of your thoughts on the starladder system?

 

DS: The Starladder System works perfectly well, I think it's better than old times when there were tournaments only on the forum, with the Starladder system, you can participate almost everyday in tournaments such as Ranking Cups which are played everyday.

 

Athena: Exactly! As a veteran tanker what are your future goals and dreams in tanki?

DS:I would like to keep improving in my CyberSports career and my main goal is that someday, I'll play in Star Series. :)

 

Athena: I'm sure you will eventually get there if you keep playing at this rate. :) was there anyone that you would like to mention that inspired you to get to this stage?

 

DS: There were some old friends, that told me that there are format battles on Server 1, I started playing in those type of battles and than I started joining some clans.

 

Athena: Thank you for spending your valuable time with me on this short interview. I wish you the best of luck to win the tomorrows game and hopefully make it to the PRO series in the next season.

 

DS: Your Welcome, and thank you, good luck to you in the future and keep it going with those type of interview, they will really help new clans and new players out there, Goodbye all!

New interview added.

 

Interview with D&K member Cynthia.003 (22/02/15)

Athena: Hi Cynthia!

 

Cynthia.003: Hello! How are you?

 

A: I'm fine! Thanks for asking, can you please give us a brief description about yourself?

 

C: Sure what do you want to know about me?

 

A:Well for a start, when did you first start playing tanki?and how has you journey evolved to this date?

 

C: I been playing tanki since like 2 years, and my journey has evolved a lot since I started playing XP.

 

A: 2 years is certainly a lot of experience behind you! What clans have you been in? Will you be able to share one of those great moments you had with an old clan of yours?

 

C: Well I was in RC(Reaper Crew), TTB(The Tank Breakers) and my best clan I have been "AK" Arab Knights not All kind Star series season 1

A:Great! Moving on to our next question, how has this season been so far for your current clan D&A?

 

C: Well we lost in PRO Series, to Wirus we played with 5 so yeah, vs Alert we had bad tactics first round I decided to changed them it worked out but last round we lost because one of our members lag, but overall it has been a good season.

 

A:Well...as a part of the EN community we all feel sad about the losses you endured at PRO series. But I'm sure you guys will be able to come back even stronger the next season :). What are your expectations for the next season? And have you started practising for it yet?

 

C: Yeah we are going to try to stay in PRO Series and we started practicing for the next season hope we do better in that one

 

A: That's our hope as well :). What opinions do you have with the way the top EN clans played at pro series? Do you believe that they could have done better? Or is it simply the fact that they were unlucky? (being in worst groups etc.)

 

C: Well I think AK had an ok group, TG had an easy group I don't know how they lost maybe organization or stuff like that, GUN had a hard group+ they never play tanki anymore that's why they lost and VEN and us (D&K) got the hardest groups of the EN community I guess.

 

A: I guess it was really unfortunate being in the hardest team :( , Moving on, Do you have any advice to be given for the newcomers/ new clans for starladder or the cybersport section?

 

C: Well first you need to have good coordination with your members also to have good tactics train everyday to get better not matter what just keep trying until you get better.

 

A: I'm sure that will help the fellow newbies of the community. Moving on to our next question. What do you think of the current starladder system? Have you got any suggestions regarding it?

 

C: I like it but I think they prefer the Russians more than US, I think they should make a Starladder just for English/German clans

 

A: What things do you think that make it so hard for the EN community to crack the star series? What differences are their between RU and EN clans what is causing this difference?

 

C: I think the mainly reason it's because they have a better ping than us since they live in Russia also everyone like spectators/commentators /referees are Russian I haven't seen anyone from English Community so they prefer the Russians.

 

A: Moving on to the next question, what clans from SEMI series do you think will be able to make it into pro series in the next season?

 

C: I think TZL will make it or maybe KC from the DE community. Until now they are doing pretty good and no good clans from EN community in SEMI so that's why.

 

A :Aw ok.. What are your opinions on the fact that every major game in SL is done in light format? Do you believe new formats with other turrets/hulls should appear?

 

C: No, I think this format its good, but also I think they should put Hard format back.

 

A :Having been on the scene for more than 2 years, what are your future goals and expectations in tanki?

 

C: Well I want to go to star series again that's my #1 goal as of now.

 

A: Well I'm sure if you follow your dream, you will certainly get there. Thanks for spending your valuable time with me on this short interview. I wish all the very best to D&A on behalf of the EN community.

 

C: Thanks

[asghar-1 15]

i have heard that 3 hunters are also allowed in semi series. is that true?

[Athena369 265]

Page updated.

[Lankbouv 6,347]

Interesting point to note is that only 3 medium hulls are now allowed in pro series. However, savanna is still allowed.

 

The reason why they didn't just disallow savanna for the pro series is due to people not having the right garage possibly.

 

 

So you're likely to see a lot of Prodigi
