The event was not canceled, but, Katherine was chased for playing better than the others on her team
I don't know what does football have to do with request for cards NPC, but let me give last answer ever concerning football event. I will repeat once again, this is a team game, where everyone should be playing, not Katherine alone making other players unable to touch the ball, and once someone else manages to make a goal, she spams "..." which i see as upsetness. Unlike paintball where everyone has his/her own gun and can score as many points as wants/has skills to, in football there's only 1 ball. It's a game of 3x3 players not 1x5.
I think it's unfair when somebody doesn't let other people play, that's why event rules have been adjusted.
the football ranking was removed or overhauled
It was a request of players. Football ranking is being count all over again (but includes tournament), we keep a track of it here;
and we'll re-post official ranking once the right time comes.
in my conception I think that a football team is made up of several players and each one has a role
the role is to play together, as a team, but seemingly only Moonw and Ridoku understood it. The role is not to stay as a pawn behind good players doing literally nothing.
If Katherine steps forward and leaves her companions behind, it is because she certainly has more skills than they do
Read everything above to understand the point.
We also know that whoever wins the duel events every time are the Poles, and we never complain about it
I don't know what does nationality have to do it, but that's similar case to paintball. You have your own pokemons and you can score as many frags as you are capable to, nobody takes your pokemons away making u unable to play, which is the case of football, as there's only 1 ball and it's supposed to be a team game, not solo style (idk how many times I have to repeat it)
Now get in shoes of all players interested in football event. They will participate first time, second time, third time, maybe fifth, then they will get discouraged, when Katherine, Sion, Ashtib or Clen play 1x5 doing goals for themselves, not letting others do it. What's the point in participating, if you cannot get ranked points? people will simply stop to participate and focus on other events like paintball or pvp, where they will collect summer tokens, there they don't have to wait 1 - 1,5h for their turn to play and football would be a waste of time.
@edit
since it's not football discussion whether it's team play or solo play, I'm closing it
