Seriously though guys, we need to do this BEFORE the tournament.
I'm going to do SNS on (shocker) Saturday night. This 10v10 by no means has to happen on that stream, this is Pat's thing, after all. People mentioned SNS, is all, so I popped my head in. That's just when I'm doing my stream (if the opportunity exists for me to do so; CB2016 obviously has no schedule, at the moment).
The world can decide on commentators all you want and rotate however you guys like.
Munoz
Warped if he isn't on the team
Broken Loose if he isn't on the team (and if he goes)
Is all we need for us.
I feel like we can make it happen on Saturday night, so long as the tournament continues on Sunday people should still have the fire to play.
SNS gives it more exposure. My plan was to just phone record/capture card that shit Friday night so SNS would totally be the way to go in comparison xD

I will take your commentary suggestions into account.
People chose Saturday for the main tourney last year, because the Sunday option was too early and killed hype. Unless we get way more entrants this year (or some others get way less), I think Saturday is a reasonable guess on when we'll be playing again this year. SFV is going to absolutely dominate. All I'm saying is that we definitely shouldn't go off the assumption that we're playing Top 8/16 on Sunday, so people need to make peace with that now, and then they can just be surprised if it turns out otherwise.
Well one thats not taking it into account the captains have the right to commentary, on top of the teams, on top of the team order it all comes in full circle.
Yeah we'll see what happens. If top 8/16 is on Sunday we'll do SNS, if its all done on Saturday we'll do it Friday.
Pos can be one of the commentators for the world if the team captain wants to do it. The plan is to have the EC pick the best commentators for them, and the world picks the best captain for them. Thats how its supposed to work, if thats not cool we'll just run it on Friday and you can find something to fill SNS.
I guess this is what I need clarification on. It's supposed to work that way because why? If the answer is, "because I want it that way," then no, that's not sufficient for me. But if there's some deep-seeded FGC thing I'm just not aware of, I'm at least willing to humor that notion.
Anyway for the people actually taking part in this.
@fenster since @Duckator hasn't said anything you'll be team captain, up to you to set up the team and how you'll do it. You guys can talk amongst yourselves as a team to how you feel about who needs to be where or who needs to be captain etc.
If no one is interested in stepping up, @Dolfinh has nominated himself for captain. I feel he will be the best and most organized for this position, and its up to you all if you feel he deserves a spot on the team or whatever up to you.
If no objections it can be him or @fenster since he also expressed interest.
Can I be a captain in the sense that I don't play but I just yell at my team for not going good enough and maybe bust out the occasional motivational speech?
FYI me being captain does NOT automatically put me on the team / I would not force myself on the team. I would be considered like any other potential candidate and the world would discuss it together.
My method for deciding the team would probably be to brainstorm a list of potential candidates (positive-energy discussion, so "x player would be a good pick" instead of "y player would be a bad pick") with the other world players then do an anonymous googledoc voting (east coast since I know you guys want to have the strongest possible opponents, you are welcome to help with this process as well).
@EFHRK Will be co-captain of team "ignorant" alongside me, Munoz, and potentially Broken Loose.
I am more then willing to play a part in collaborating in helping you decide the team Dolfinh, before anyone screams "sabotage"...
I want this 10v10 to be amazing, YEARS of trying to get something like this to pop off to have it not, I can FEEL that this can happen. I don't want this to be a blow out on EITHER side. I want the BEST POSSIBLE team vs the BEST POSSIBLE team, and I will help make that happen in anyway I can.
I'll go ahead and make a list of potential world team candidates. Obviously please remind me if I forgot someone because I tend to forget strong players.
We probably won't want to have our final roster confirmed until way closer to combo breaker, but brainstorming now and figuring out who is or isn't going would be a really nice jumpstart.
Remember when brainstorming potential team candidates:
Players should be strong and have solid results at recent tournaments. No SDE-only heroes and no one "out of the loop"
Candidates should be motivated to practice and show a drive to improve.
Candidates must not be in the east coast or be regular attendees of east coast locals.
Candidates should a strong understanding of neutral, the game's mechanics, matchup knowledge, and confidence.
Candidates have demonstrated the ability to play under pressure.
Candidates should have scary setups for a Best of 1BEST OF 3 setting (as this is the format it will take place in)
Candidates have to want to participate. Negus, for instance, said he's not really interested in playing in the crew battle.
Candidates ideally can give good coaching / advice and show positive encouragement. This is a team, not just 10 strong SG players.
Candidates need to actually be attending combo breaker next year ("maybes" are okay for now).
You are more than welcome to nominate yourself just please talk a bit about why you would be a good player.
Let me try and get some of the obvious candidates here:
Edit: Went ahead and grouped these by region.
Edit 2: Updated with RemikZ and TBD
Edit 3: Added Domo and FuLLBLee D:
Edit 4: Uzu confirmed he cannot attend, so he has been removed. If you voted for Uzu and want to change your vote you can email me anonymously at DolfinhRk@gmail.com
Edit 5: Added Bang Camaro
Edit 6: Removed candidates already voted onto the team. Put candidates with few votes (Less than 4 vote points) inside the "secondary candidates" spoiler. You will still be able to vote for these in the Round 2 voting (after NEC) in the "Other" section.
ROUND 1 VOTES CLOSED. ROUND 2 (likely final) VOTES ARE FOR AFTER NEC.
Note that votes are not the only factor to who makes the team, not even close.
=================================================

CURRENT TEAM MEMBERS

[PNW]@Skarmand - 3rd at NWM (not 4th, thanks Yaya!), 9th at EVO 2014, 7th at Combo Breaker. One of the candidates for strongest player in the west coast right now.

[Vegas?]@trainedbydeath - Only person to take a game off of Sage in the most recent Sage kumite. Also got top 16 at Hello I am new player. Creator of various memes and will HK bomber everyone at round start.
For sure. Can anyone confirm if NCV still plays or not? I didn't want to put him because i couldn't remember if he was still interested in playing SG.
Yeah! I'm still in there. Currently shaking the rust off. Would like to be a part of it for sure. Let's see how I do at FF before I say I deserve it more than various others in the world, at least depending on how many make it to CB.
