Just started getting into EU and trying to learn as much as possible. Wondering what WoF and FoF are exactly...
Can anyone explain to a poor inept noob like me?
Thanx!
The WoF is a bit like the equivalent of the World Cup for football/soccer.
The competition is incredibly well organised thanks mainly to Hurrikane, it's his baby, he started it and it gets better every year.
The teams competing are mainly countries/nations but also EU continental teams have entered.
The fun starts right from day 1 of signing up when everybody starts dreaming of success and a real buzz develops within team squads.
From all who sign up for a particular nation the captain selects what he or she believes to be the strongest 12 players, selected on a combination of skills, equipment, experience etc. From these 12 only 4, 5 or 6 play in individual games as selected by the team captain.
The remainder of the squad act as a support squad and carry out supporting functions to the main team but also can score points on support mob globals.
Before the competition gets underway teams are randomly drawn into groups, where they play against each other in qualifying and group mini-leagues initially.
Later there are knockout stages.
Hurrikane adds to the excitement by making a cool video of the draw to show that it's been done fairly.
Points are scored for globals on mobs picked by Hurrikane and these vary at each round of the competition and there are various bonus points available.
The team that gets the highest points each match goes through to the next round.
The fun is mainly in the participation as the WoF brings a great feeling of excitement, anticipation and cameraderie.
But if you get to the semis or finals you've definitely done well and can feel proud of your achievement.
And if you actually win the WoF, well, that feels unbelievably great!
Oh, don't know anything about the FoF but I'm sure someone else will put you right on that.
