The only counterargument that was even remotely intelligible was 'the prize money is too low, no one will bother unless it's dropped to 6v6' - If the prize money is too low, and you can't be bothered to come, well, that's a personal choice. I refuse to believe that you can't identify a team of 8 players that want to play a proper battlefield game. Claiming that an 8v8 game requires more than 8 players beggars belief. It's not like players are fainting in their seats, and you need subs for fuck's sake.
