damn russians. you couldn't win one map?

:<

damn russians :P

They played on the big* tdm server, which of course is a swedish one. Would have been interesting to see how the game would have been in the reversed case, i.e. on a Moscow server.
It is possible that this scenario has never occured, because I can just not remember it happening.
I really would like to see a Russia-Sweden CB Nationscup game played completely in Moscow, and can't really understand why it is not done that way for once but always with huge disadvantage for russian players.

First of all, the difference wasnt HUGE. The russians pinged 25-30 and the swedes 10-20. Second, playing against russia is the ONLY opponent that you ever get to play on a swedish server against. We always play on gameservers vs NL/FR/DE/UK clans and guess who pings best there? Not us. I'm glad I dont play these bs online cups anymore.

that's just not true :)

some swedes surely had a ping below 10 on Big and that does make a hell of a difference compared to let's say playing from russia wouldn't you say?
i also highly doubt you get outpinged against NL/UK/DE/FR 'all the time'... my games vs. EYE on gs.net were in my honest opinion unfair to say the least yet we agreed because there was no better solution (and never will if we don't get a new netcode someday).

i think dibbe had ~10, the others a bit more. please dont believe cg_drawping, we dont have 0-1ms.

and vs germany, half of the time we get to play on next five please and are outpinged yet again :P

Seriously I do not see the point in this post.

The ping was as fair as can be for all. Irb was on an ADSL connection the night we played and both Russians and Swedes had a ping of 30-35.

Check it on clanbase in case you do not believe me =P

If we had moved the game to russia the pings would of been more uneaven.

Thats it.

I know swedish teams often are outpinged on the gs servers you mention, but at the same time you know that having to overcome Irb on 5 ping is not fair and not really reasonable either, and in the end this is about the swe-ru games online. It just doesn't make sense to always play in Sweden.
What do you think is the reason that swedish teams never play on Moscow servers, which would make just as much sense?
It has never happened.
Basically that equals to an unwritten rule of russian teams not being allowed to beat swedish teams online.
When it really mattered in the 2v2 cup Cooller-Jibo actually played against EYE on a dutch server, still with about 10 ms higher pings but against an opponent with at least some ping.

I tried refreshing every russian server in All-Seeing Eye and I didnt ping below 45 to a single one. Not to mention that russians do indeed ping <5 to their servers, because they are all on great inet cafe connections.

It's just not a fair game with Irb and Dibbe, maybe also some other players, on so low pings that go towards 0, and the rest also pinging lower than the russian players.
Swedish teams have almost always won nc matches against Russia, but always on a totally uneven playing field.

I understand of course that the swedish players love it the way it is, always going into games against russian teams with the certainty of majorly outpinging them on the road to glorious victory, but the exact same matchups would look really different if played on Moscow servers.
There are two possibilities; let the swedes be outpinged or let the russians be outpinged and in this matchup the second of the two choices apparently is the given one, which creates bad matches Swe-Ru matches most of the time.

Like I said, the russians ping far better on our servers than we do on theirs. Do you think there is some magical server where we all ping 100% equal, but we refuse to play there? This is the only alternative and it's not our fault. Now stop moaning and give the swedish team some credit for playing a good game.

If you think you can have pings down towards 0 with it showing up as 31 on the scoreboard you are mistaken. Not until the ping ventures under 10ms will it be displayed as <31 with maxpackets 125.

Russians can't play 1v1v1v1v1v1v1v1 anyway ;)

Russians couldn't play at all that night =)

And we still waited crap long time for them to get home.
