Something I want to know, is why aren't there more elite clans?
I mean, Masters have 23 players. For the community aspect, that's great. But when it comes to Clan League, not so great. Masters is filled to the brim with elite players (inb4 Atom joke) and at least 5 of these won't get to compete in a Clan League team (with the 18 player max thing).
Of the 23 players, I would say 14 are on Warlight daily and quite active. The others are a bit busy with life at the moment, but still keep their place in the clan because they show up once in a while.
A lot of folks seem to rate clans based on clan league performances and drive what happens in their clan off of the Clan League. In my opinion, a clan does not need to be centered around one competition. Sure there are 18 slots, and most of us will not play in more than 2 competitions, but that's ok.
I'm not them, but I think it'd be a smart idea to turn Masters into a "1 clan de-facto, 2 clans de jure" kind of thing. Where they are competitively playing against each other, but essentially one community like they are(comparable to 101st-Lynx, but in this case it's 2 elites- not an elite and intermediate).
We don't really see it like that. Every member is well worth their place and such a split would be impossible.
For me, a clan is a community of friends where everyone knows each other quite well and plays regularly. I can come online at any time of the day, and get a competitive game because one of my clan mates is guaranteed to be on. I think that is the coolest aspect about Masters.
