(THIS POST IS IN NO WAY MENT TO TAKE ANY CREDIT FROM ANYONE, ANYONE PULLING A WORLD WIN IS AMAZING (except the swedes that won world 100 because of a greedy Alex))
If you want to understand how to beat the best you need to learn from the best.
You all talk about this core of players going from world to world taking wins.
How did this story start? Did it start with a team of 30 pro players? heh....
In my opinion this squads roots is from world 90.
On world 90 we signed up with 15 Norwegian accounts, most of them with solo or duo coverage.
We had one experienced .net player (David - Majestee) with us that helped us understand the politics and gameplay on .net (it was quiet different from national servers).
I am not saying the norwegian players were bad, but compared to a top level .net account we had our challenges.
How did the world procede? There was a hole filled in on the .net server, there was hard to be a part of a good core group, that had strong values and liked to war.
.net is one of the servers where diplomacy is a key to victory. No diplomacy will lead to slaughter.
So what was so special about this tribe full of norwegian unexperienced (.net) players?
WE CAME THOUGHETER! God damn, we all made mistakes, I remember an evening 80% of the players of the tribe sat dead silent on voice chat to hear why certain decissions were made and how we could improve for status quo.
Do you think we recruited anyone that had been top rank 10? We even declined accounts that had been rank one on past worlds, its not about their skills, it is how their skills can CONTRIBUTE to the tribe. Every tribe will have different goals and therefore different qualities.
That moment, the focus changes from individual performance to tribal performance, is a memoriable moment. You will see the motivational drive arise as it has never done before.
Cell phone numbers will be exchanged, "If you are attacked you better call me, we are not loosing another village over bad contact!!!"
If you ever want to create such a core group it is all about branding.
You need a duke with leadership abilities.
Leadership abilites? Lol I can recruit and plan for OP if I want.
Your on the wrong wave my friend..
There are two resources in tribalwars that can get you to your goal
1) People
2) Premium points/Events
What is the MAIN resource to win a world on tribalwars?
PEOPLE!!
and why is it so hard to lead people in games?
BECAUSE YOU DONT PAY THEM!
So... What does this lead to? A leader/and or the group needs to be inner motivated, external motivation as top rank is not a prime motivation factor.
It is really hard,
but your starting position should not be faulty.
Start with five people, make sure you have the same goals,
it might take worlds, you might never reach it,
but on the road you will have a lot of fun,
when you are a team the desperation and frustration does not bite as hard,
as long as you are in the match thougheter.
If you want to win a world as a duke, or create such a core group, expect to use countless hours. Expect to fail a year at a study, loose a girlfriend.
To get where these amazing people have reached, it takes blood sweat and tears.
No Balian, we did not get good over the night.
I started to build my Norwegian network of players in 2009.
Good luck.
An example of an account that is not the strongest powerhouse, but THE best to have in a tribe, look at ROCKETSMAD. On weekly basis for years I have received messages like this:
"Hi boss! Great work! So happy for the work you put down. All my soldiers are ready to die wherever you want them sent!!"
