wow, this reads like an UK tourney with some European guests
Ha, with only 12 UK guys, that would be one of the smaller events. There are a lot more regular tournament players around, and given the chance I am sure there could be upwards of 20+ UK guys on top of the guests. Given these numbers it might even be sufficient to attract people from other continents and make it a truly world class event . . .
Sadly, it seems that space is restricted this yesr so this will just have to remain a pipe dream for another time.
I think that the key point is that these events will help grow Epic 40k and bring players from the UK and Europe together - and giving many on this forum to meet and play a few games whereas otherwise they would never have a realistic opportunity to do so.
Even amongst the UK players there are a few people that are rarely seen at Epic UK events, so it is certainly having a positive impact.
There were 3 countries with full teams at the last event. If there are 4 countries with full teams this time it will show that the event is growing and building long-term momentum.
Maybe the UK will be like Real Madrid or the Montreal Canadiens and get a few wins on the board before everyone else ups their game, but I suspect it won't take long for other countries to get very competitive.
