10/4 JQ/BG/SoR
Well SoR has overtaken BG, but they still need lessons in scouting. It was funny how they got sandwiched between TKG and MERC outside SoR Briar during early Oceanic.
hmmm maybe SoR can stack some more guilds so there is no need to scout? It would certainly fit SoR attitude.
If we practice our scouting, make sure you practice your counting

“Leaves BG because he doesn’t want to burn out doing overtime….”
Commanding in EU usually meant that I would’ve had to have taken militia and coordinate dual hits with HB and RK – staying up to fight them to see how they would fare (tbh they had a low guildee showing) wasn’t because I wanted to burn at both ends and was doing overtime. If you command a lot you often want to see if the guys you usually play with are up to scratch, playing in EU was more because I was curious to see if RK/PLX/HB would smash my group (95% JQ militia) as JQ has been historically weak in EU as it has no current guilded presence. There is plenty of militia in that time-slot, all they need is someone to lead them (cough cough, need EU guilds).

The best fights I’ve had all year have been against the BG ones since we left, as we cut a lot of dead weight from the guild when we moved off. Making a 3rd underdog server that hasn’t been competitive for first place for competitive again is part of the enjoyment you get from leading and JQs community is just as welcoming as BGs was. We are still the only guilded presence that has its prime ~5-9pm AEST as opposed to the previously stacked BG OC which had 3 OC guilds that usually ended in a ROFL-stomp on BGs behalf mostly from the part of them having a large militia and guild presence 24/7. We improved competition by moving as JQ was legitamately the underdog when it came to competition, as having one-sided fights is fun for no-one and moving from the previously Rank 1 server to the previously Rank 3 shifts the meta of T1 so that we get more fights in more timezones as opposed to everyone stacking in their respective timezones.

But looking at the larger picture… things are just amazing atm.
Imagine if the larger force of MERC that left had actually stayed in BG. Would the competition be this tight? Who knows. But for now things are looking fantastic.

Eh?!?! This post makes no sense at all. You’re now claiming the transfer was to help balance t1 after previously saying it was because you weren’t getting enough support? It’s laughable you expect anyone to believe you transferred to the most stacked server in SEA time to balance. In case you haven’t noticed, JQs SEA hugely outnumbers BGs and SoRS. I guess when you tell so many lies it becomes a bit hard to keep track of them all.
To say the MERC players who stayed behind were dead weight is disgustingly disrespectful. I’m sure pretty much every MERC who transferred would agree.

True that true that. But man, just forget all the bs and look at the score. That’s all I was saying. Screw the bullkitten and enjoy the competitiveness at the moment.

Why does there so much fuss on MERC transferring to JQ? MUSA went to JQ too but no one is talking about it. For all I know they might be the one contributing to JQ score.
Hello Darx,
Much respect to MUSA. Muscles worked really hard in SOR. As most of the hardcore guild leaders have mentioned, Muscles would tag up and do his best to lead in EB where other commanders would not.
But as stated earlier by astute observers, Tarkus was one of the key leaders of MERC in OCN/SEA and hence BG Oceanic/SEA. He along with a hardcore MERC group formed the nucleus of an effective float team that gave BG its main PPT. BG still has a great population of OCN but without strong leadership it’s really hard to rally the militia.

There are not a lot of Oceanic population in BG beside Noc/Res/MERC and usually Noc/Res run 20+ max while MERC used to run 30+. The rest are actually SEA. I have to admit that MERC is our main core Oceanic and with strong leadership Tarkus/Ralikh provided it’s our strong key PPT as you said. [That’s why the PPT, now JQ getting 300+ instead of splitting half half BG/JQ. SoR also having loads of Oceanic lately]
Still we gained a bit of old guilds back in SEA with additional one great EU guild joined thus the BG PPT still intach. But if you weigh the population pound to pound with SoR and JQ (now), we’re really in dire need of Oceanic/EU population to compete. The thing that able to keep us on par with JQ/SoR now is that JQ getting stronger thus now JQ/SoR is now battling each other more and they are racing for first instead of BG being pwn by one strong server. (like last week vs SoR vs TC is prime example of the lack of coverage on BG side after MERC departed off)

Personally i only play within EU prime and despite what many will claim to be night capping iv seen anything but it all 3 servers have a strong presence the only pve door i encountered was taking hills from BG on SOR bl but JQ [Foo] rushed in behind us and ninja capped it lol
Later JQ had a tier 3 bay locked up like Fort Knox tried a few times to enter and got knocked back by the huge defence effort on the objective lot’s of diversionary tactics also with random tower, garry tagging to lure us away from the real target etc thankfully we had scouts on some of those objectives.
Despite what goes on outside of my EU prime this is a pretty tight matchup in my opinion the outcome is not set in stone everything seems to change at a moments notice thank you everyone for making it so. EU gold league table will be a 1 server blow out with SFR the No 1 stacked server now also actively recruiting NA guilds and players to supplement it’s strong Russian night capping team to not just win but dominate. Now since the majority of EU servers only have a single prime time unlike NA those players joining will be the true definition of night capper’s and pve door specialists who will encounter little more than a few scouts and a small rag tag of pugs.

I don’t know what’s most surprising about the above:
1. Arguments to justify a move that’s created a SEA/OCX environment at least as unbalanced as anything previous.
2. The inability to see the irony of statements like “having one-sided fights is fun for no-one”. Ticking at over 300 PPT for hours is “improving compeition”?
3. The disrespect towards former MERC members (the same ones who are doing their best to rally BG and fight the JQ zergs advantage that Tarkus has created).
Actually, I think the most surprising thing is that Tarkus appears to believe what he posts.

There is plenty of militia in that time-slot, all they need is someone to lead them (cough cough, need EU guilds).
The best fights I’ve had all year have been against the BG ones since we left, as we cut a lot of dead weight from the guild when we moved off. Making a 3rd underdog server that hasn’t been competitive for first place for competitive again is part of the enjoyment you get from leading and JQs community is just as welcoming as BGs was. We are still the only guilded presence that has its prime ~5-9pm AEST as opposed to the previously stacked BG OC which had 3 OC guilds that usually ended in a ROFL-stomp on BGs behalf mostly from the part of them having a large militia and guild presence 24/7. We improved competition by moving as JQ was legitamately the underdog when it came to competition, as having one-sided fights is fun for no-one and moving from the previously Rank 1 server to the previously Rank 3 shifts the meta of T1 so that we get more fights in more timezones as opposed to everyone stacking in their respective timezones.
Thanks for the fights HB, Afterlife, PLX, RK and IRON.
On top of this, I want to remind everyone of the score HALF WAY THROUGH THE FREAKIN WEEK.
This kitten is intense. In the smaller moments you have your 2v1s and those moments of dread where you only have a few things still your colour and everything is paper.
But looking at the larger picture… things are just amazing atm.
Imagine if the larger force of MERC that left had actually stayed in BG. Would the competition be this tight? Who knows. But for now things are looking fantastic.
Why even mention MERC leaving. They had very little effect. TKG on the other hand, had a large effect on the balance of the servers because they are actually good at the game.
Your discounting of MERC and what it did is beyond dubious, it is ludicrous. While it takes the efforts of an entire server (all time zones) to win a weekly matchup, MERC’s performance in numerous weeks had undoubtedly seriously helped BG win some weekly matchups. TKG who?
Tarkus, go to bread!
NOPE
Quick, Someone make a funny meme or snarky .gif out of this!!!
“Leaves BG because he doesn’t want to burn out doing overtime….”

MERC certainly cast a large shadow in Oceanic and SEA, but would really not be enough to carry Blackgate. The fall of a few other guilds caused the huge dearth of activity that we are experiencing now, which was happening even before MERC left for JQ. On some nights, MERC was able to pull enough people to cover the gap, but the norm would be for Blackgate to be ticking at the low to mid 100s, peaking at maybe 280 ppt.
BG SEA is still in transition, but I would not say MERC was solely responsible for its current state.

The other night there was a fight over bay. MERC pushed inside first, followed by TKG. Two of our guilds reacted. It was about a 60v60 with around 30 of them being MERC and 30 TKG. Two split guilds on both sides. Open area on the outside of inner. First engagement and MERC melted after about 10 seconds. The other 60 on our side spent well over 5 minutes trying to dislodge TKG. MERC cannot fight themselves. Their one strength was rallying pugs to fight for them. They don’t know how to fight themselves. Guilds like TKG and many others on both JQ, SOR and BG are on a completely different level to MERC. The gold that was payed for them wasn’t worth it. MERC is overrated because the pugs supporting them were so good. I don’t even rate them truth be told. When they first left I had mixed feelings about it. They seemed to be saying that they were going to take things steady and roll as a guild for once rather than a float team. Took them all of two days before they were rolling exclusively with a map blob or hiding behind walls and ACs. I figured that would happen. But secretly I tried to have an optimistic view for them and hoped that what Tarkus was saying was actually true. MERC who? JQ will figure it out eventually.
