Cam Jump???
Do we still need a cam jump??? Big question! Some will argue yes, others no. This week saw just over 30 people jump into the cam jump compared to the 100 odd that turned out for the reg jump! This is a huge difference and quite frankly it is winning the reg jump that is becoming the greater achievement! Back in prior seasons the cam jump attracted in excess of 60 each week and the talent jumping in was immence. It was widely regarded as the jump to win, legit, talent loaded and it became a very challenging tourny. Those who won it were regarded highly, nowadays it has lost its prestige, i see less and less "big name" players entering instead opting for the larger but "less" legitimate regular jump! Here are some pros and cons to weigh up for the cam jump.
For!!
For!!
- It still attracts a wide variety of talent from most of the leagues!
- It offers players 100% certainty that your opponent is playing a legitimate game!
Some still regard it as the superior jump - It offers players an option of playing alternate jumps each week!
- Great history
Against!!
- Its numbers are depleting each week!
- It is argued it is becoming inferior to the reg jump
- The reg jump attracts in excess of 100 people, add the 30 or so cam jump people and we have a hell of a trny!
- The prestige of winning the cam jump isnt as great as it once was!
It is slow and often causes more hassle than its worth. - With less rounds it is becoming easier to win!
So those are just a few points about our prestigious cam jump. Agree with them or not the case remains the cam jump is becmoing less popular each week! So i ask the question should the cam jump be scrapped in order to make a collective trny which could attract around 150 people making it undoubtably the best trny around!! People in the reg jump may ask for cam if they wish and normal cam rules would apply. I admit that this could cause many aimer comments and many disgruntled players thinking "wtf, omfg" at that bank!! However i personally feel it is a risk worth taking! Badger me for it if you want! Leave ya comments and/or suggestions!!
