Looks like UK is getting CZECH'D

>>74259351
in 5v5 it's elimination. fighters are eliminated when they are brought to the ground. In 1v1 it's points based on hits fighters get on eachother.
>>74259428
I feel bad for "little teams"
They're like little kids trying to fight adults
>>74259467
Idk, the Ukrainians were smaller than the Czechs and they just handled them.

>>74259632

>>74259614
No, no, I mean this team is clearly a "new" team from a country that is not heavily populated with no experience
Did we fight today? I'm pretty lost
>>74259717
yes
>>74259717
Most likely earlier today. Dunno how if you lost/won though.
>>74259691

SHOW THE FUCKING TAKEDOWNS.

Are you sure? I didn't saw anything except when the reporter asked some shit to one argentine at the beginning..
>>74260082
tbf I wanted to watch the Bonglads
>>74260132
Not really. I managed to miss the most of today desu.
>>74260154
I want to watch both. Considering how many breaks there's been with absolutely fuck-all happening there's no reason they can't space the fights so we can watch both.
>>74260132
I saw your team fight, unfortunately you haven't won any matches.
Danes about to get raped by Russians.

>>74260198
There is that alternate camera angle but I don't know what it shows desu
THIS DOES NOT SLIP NOW
>>74259956
Honestly I don't think the expenses are that harsh. I'd wager all yurop teams come by car, considering how much equipment they have to bring. If you want to be as cheap as possible, you can sleep in a caravan and even bring your own food, so you effectively pay only for gas.
FLAWLESS VICTORY
Russia 2 stronk
I swear these Russians use some Sambo tactics
>that dane punching the ground so hard his glove comes off
>>74260198
Could you give the the exact min pls polebro
>>74260288
It's probably too far back in the stream at this point. You might have to wait for the whole thing to be uploaded.
Insane balance on the Russians.
Don't know how that guy didn't go down.
>>74260288
sorry don't remember, it was around 1-2 hours into the stream today (so like 11-12 barcelona time), but i may be wrong
They should fight on a little plateau instead of a fenced off area where you are disqualified if you step out or fall off.
This way the teams would naturally fight for dominance the fields central area and there would be no fence faggotry
>>74260383
They'd just bullrush the enemies out and do nothing else. It would replace one set of problems with another.
>>74260383
Kind of dangerous desu. Becomes hard to officiate too

AHAHAHAHAAH that Russian onslaught as the Frenchie ran
That was horrifying, Russians were actually in danger too
Dammit I like France
fug, french are pretty hardcore desu.
It's like Napoleon all over again
Jesus Christ, Russia is so OP it's not funny.
I can't even think of a proper sporting analogy. Maybe an NFL team versus a high school.

Why has no-one banned fence grabbing yet?
I can't believe nobody's suggested it.
>>74260812
>that fucking dodge
noice
>>74260825
I think there's some limitations to it, but yeah it should be more strictly regulated.
>>74260812
Saved.
THEY CHEATED REEEEE
>>74260903
Yeah if you're going to ban it you have to go all the way. No elbow hooking.

Goddamn it why can't they stagger the semi-final rounds so we can watch both?
>>74261216
>Then again Poland gets at least 2 if you look at the UK names.
Delet this
That Russia cheating
>>74261217
Btfo
Looks like Russia might finally get dethroned next year.
men, average fighters are exhausted after a few hits, but the Russians/Ukrainians (Poles and Belarusians, sometimes) just hit, hit, hit, hit, hit, hit, give thousands and thousands of hits...
>that flying kick
The hate really comes out against Poland
>>74261324
They clearly spend the entire year before each fight doing cardio training in full armour.
>>74261164
>>74261184
Well maybe not the only but the easiest.
>>74261324
Russia looks made of steel man
Nothing can take any of them down. That Pole ran up to one to try and kick his leg out and it didn't even bloody budge
>Israel controlling American fighters
Well that's nothing new.
which poland and which russia was this?
Average height is 180-185 cm in Russian team
Average weight is 90 kg
>>74261346
>>74261388
The very fact they're this fast and give flying kicks so easily says a lot

Man, fuck this operator
Looks like Italy got BELARUSED
Russia fucking manhandling everyone
Again, when there's this much space between fights why couldn't you just do one after another so we could see all of them?
Holy shit look at that skill
Reading the flying kick
Russia stronk.
>>74261993
Fug, completely missed that one.
>>74261993
Admit it, it was a nice try

>>74262287
Single elimination is a fucking retarded tournament form.
>>74262381
This event has had the most appalling camerawork I've ever seen.
Is it usually this bad or is this year unusual?
>All 10 fighters are locked in pairs near the walls
Something really needs to change in the rules.
>>74262417
Just this year. Last year they only had one list aswell, which avoided multiple fights going on at once.
Although on the plus size, the new arena is a lot bigger and thus 21v21s are a less of a clusterfuck.
>>74262443
Ban grabbing the fence with the elbow.
90% of the problems solved.
That was slick
>>74262417
It is worse than usual because last years there was only 1 arena
>>74262443
it's pretty funny that humans will find any small niche to not lose and exploit it to the max
>Belarus senpai please notice me
>>74262470
One list is definitely better. It's bullshit missing an entire fight while something else is going on.
Make that list big though, 21 v 21 was way better this year than the clips I've seen from previous years.
If it's too expensive to go on for the extra day or two with one list then hold it in Eastern Europe where it's cheaper.
>>74262140
why are you so stronk in this sport
>>74262470
side*
>>74262550
I agree with you in general though.
>>74262550
>If it's too expensive to go on for the extra day or two with one list then hold it in Eastern Europe where it's cheaper.
Part of it is fitting a schedule that suits the fighters though. They have jobs and lives etc.
This weekend worked because Monday is a bank holiday afaik
>>74262562
we need to bring in a mongol team to offset them
>>74262497
You just described IMCF. It's the exact same sport with slightly altered rules (like no grabbing the list) organized by westerners in Denmark this year
>>74262628
I'll definitely tune in.
>>74262628
But is it streamed free on Youtube?
What's the point of having 2 arenas if they're both empty at the same time?
>>74262611
May 1st is a state holiday in most post-soviet states.
Russian rapemachine at it again
>>74262611
>>74262683

Also I'll be fighting there. You'd better watch and channel your powers to me.
Poor Italy
>>74262739
Someone has to stop the Slavic menace.
URBAN COHORT FALL BACK
>>74259266
Why the fuck aren't there any African/Asian teams?
I thought 3 on 1 was a stop?
>>74262783
But there are, China fought yesterday and Japan has shown up in previous years
>>74262783
There were China and Turkey but they didn't go far
>>74262745
You better post about it. Which month?
>>74262783
China was in this year. So was Turkey.
Africans obviously couldn't afford the armour or the trips.
why don't the russians shake hands? wtf man don't actually live up to the bad guy meme
>>74262803
Not if they Italians. You are always allowed to fuck up Italians.
>>74262783
>WE WUZ KNIGHTS
>>74262838
Says in the picture that was posted. Late May.
>>74262838
25 may – 28 may
>>74262803
There was another fighter still up off camera
>>74262783
Because Africa is a failed civilization.
Asians are going to win this competition
>>74262745
Good luck, pegga

Who beat us?
>Israel trying to Jew their way into a rematch
>>74262864
oh cool
you the /heem/ guy? Remind me if I forget
>>74262841
It's not a meme, they win every year so they're the bad guys. I don't even want to cheer for them anymore.
>>74262840
If they wanted more viewers the organization would sponsor African teams. Get some Zulu warriors in there and I guarantee they'll curbstomp these Europeans.
>>74262841
This will last longer than the round.
Cute
>>74262910
Yessir, and will do.

>>74262924
It was the last fight for the Italians though.
>>74262937
Hopefully Ausbro is around too. Shame he's not because he'd probably have enjoyed this and the webm's make the threads better. Guess the autism drove him off /heem/ threads
>>74262975
>>74263015
The autism in that place is pretty tremendous.
The /box/ crossposting yesterday made me cringe so hard I couldn't even get through it.
>>74263018
Is that it for the day then?
>>74262964
Africa isn't all malnourished people, we'll send our best just like Eastern Europeans will send their best. We could even bend the rules a little bit so African Americans like me can fight for our homeland.
African Americans would make Slavs look like bitches.
It's over?
