Hello my friends,
"Life can only be understood through a return to the past, but one can only live forward." - Soren Kierkegaard
Let´s see, how is the Leaderboard, after the 19th round :
Since yesterday, some changes happened, in the mid top table, as were expected, because until the end of this incredible Final, anything can happen! Still on the podium there were no changes, India (446 points) kept the 1st place and increased the advantage to Spain (407 points) which is 2nd, Belgium (361 points) is 3rd and approached the second place. Morocco (352 points) climbed two places, and is now 4th, followed by Hungary (347 points) continues to grow day by day, and has had one of the most significant climbs, in 6th place is Turkey (337 points) starred in another meteoric rise in the table. In the same growth register, Croatia (324 points) climbed from 11th place to 8th, with an opposite trend is France (326 points) that dropped from 5th place to 7th. Between 8th place and 3rd there´s only 37 points of difference!! So nothing is granted, and everyone has to stay sharp, and fight for every point as if it were the last!
The Leaderboard reflects the results of the previous day, and already includes Penalties.

Hi OSM lovers! Your trusted companion and advisor, Sir Hunchy is back! What have our mega coaches achieved in this journey of the Nations Cup Final? Surely glory and incredible deeds! Let´s take a look!

Like i´ve said before, this guys are the top of the top! They´re challenging the laws of Physic over here!
Nation of the Day
Today I will examine Ukraine to the smallest detail, they are in 14th place with 171 points.
They were, one of the surprises, in the qualification round, as they were debutants as a National team. In the Final, they had a bad start, but they are trying to rectify, and climb in the table. Neobiatnuy is their MVP, with 80 points, representing 44% of the total points Ukraine conquered, in 9 wins, 1 draw and 9 defeats. BestSamik is the second best manager, with 66 points, representing 36% of the total points his National team achieved, in 4 wins, 10 draws and 5 defeats. Reaching this final, among 43 teams, many of them with extensive experience, is already a great achievement in itself, everything that comes from here will be even more experience acquired for the future! Keep dreaming Ukraine!
Well fellows, i need to rest a bit! This is a plethora of emotions without stopping! I´m not a teenager anymore! I have to spare my poor heart! Bye Bye!
Continuing with the interviews, with the National coaches, tonight we receive, @Dovco_HandF the National coach of Poland, please give him a warm welcome
Q : By creating Nations Cup, our main goal is to empower the culture of OSM National teams. What type of actions you think should be done on each National community, in order to achieve that goal? What can you tell us about your National team History?
A: History. Each nation should write its own history in OSM. We do it. We write everything down:
Historia turniejów polskiej społeczności OSM oraz Reprezentacji Polski w OSM
https://forum.onlinesoccermanager.com/topic/60422/historia-turniejów-polskiej-społeczności-osm-oraz-reprezentacji-polski-w-osm/16 . In remembrance and tribute to those who devoted a lot of their time and money in the game, as well as for future generations of OSM managers, to see what happened long, long time ago, when they had not dreamed of playing OSM yet.
Officially, there are no national teams in OSM. I think the game is fantastic in many ways. Everyone who knows me knows I love OSM. But I miss this one in OSM from the beginning - the game at the level of national teams. And that could be very easy to organize. A crew named for example: National Team - Poland. Number 1 + 10 (1/2 selector + 9/10 competitors), total 11 people, minimum 1+4. Of course, these managers, being in the national team, could not be in their home crews at the same time. Just as it is in the real world. If you play a match for a club, you will not double it and you are not playing for the national team at the same time. The game system is already in place: Ranked Battles. On top of that, you only need to add a tab with the national team points system and we can play! Who knows, maybe it can be done in the future. Since there were national tournaments in the old battle system and now they are back in a different form, it means that this is a part of the game that the owners could consider in the future. Polish national team in OSM in the years 2011 - 2020 played 54 documented matches (including the matches of the "U21" team), having 33 victories and losing 22 games. Not bad considering we're not some great force at OSM. We won once: III WORLD NATIONS TOURNAMENT (2015/2016) - I played in this golden team and in the match vs Romania in the Grand Final. I remember when I won a very important match against Romanian and Global Staff star of OSM: Mariolacatus in the cup.Well, in the quarter-finals, we won all four matches in the cup and those extra points from the cup, with an even league, gave us the final victory. Beautiful story! Once we took fourth place: VI WORLD NATIONS TOURNAMENT (2018/2019) and once we were third in EURO NATIONS TOURNAMENT (2017/2018). From the beginning of the history of national teams in OSM, we take an active part in them. The number of representatives of our country is 70 people (without this tournament in 2021), playing proudly in the Polish national team. They played the most matches: Łukasz Kowalski (36), me that is Dovco_HandF (17), sniki26 (13), Rusewicz (11). Mati Colchoner, mihau1878 and Stefan Joptwojmać (10 each).
Q: From the several competitions in OSM, which of them you observe? When you build your shortlist, what's more important in a manager: squad building or tactical knowledge?
A: I observe all the tournaments in which take part any representatives of the Polish community and try to comment on the Polish forum, not only at the stage of national teams, but also at the stage of our crews, such as the Football Master Series (FMS). This is an official event organized by the OSM staff for experienced crews. Fantastic, full of emotions and fighting tournament, well run by Markez17, now General Manager at OSM. Equally interesting is the Crew Cup 2021: New and refreshing format, hosted by a great group of OSM fans, where you can watch the entire history of this most numerous tournament in OSM at the Crew Forum. I think that the complete manager at OSM has great tactical knowledge and is great at building a team based on scout, training and Transfer List. It is impossible to achieve success by building a team perfectly and playing with only one and the same set-up and tactics. And the best tactics will not help you achieve success in matches with good managers, if you can not build a team quickly and efficiently.
Q: How important is it for the development of a player to be part of a crew? Does a player need to be part of a crew to be called to your National Team Draft?
A: Crews attract people who are looking for more than just the desire to win against bots or weaker players. I dare say that the crews teach humility and losing. This is what all these group leagues or tournaments are for, not only to learn and improve from each other's victories, but also from defeats. Everyone wants to be a champion, but not many want help to achieve this and active teams train future national champions as world-class. Personally, I know a lot of managers who individually achieved nothing, and in group tournaments they are real beasts. Candidates to play in the national team should be people with a special mentality, because the attitude and mental strength is a factor in the growth of sports results to a very large extent. Investing in your development is the key to winning, it's not a secret. However at OSM it's important to be part of a good crew, if you want to be successful in team play. National teams are not for individualists. They can take part for example in OSM World Championships - tournament made for individualists. I would not call anyone to plays for the national team if I did not see that he is good at the team plays of his crew.
Q: For future editions of Nations Cup, can you tell us what sort of improvements you would like to see implemented, in order to improve the Tournaments overall quality, and help it achieve the ultimate goal of being one of the reference competitions in the OSM National Teams universe?
A: I have no ideas. I don't know what else you can do. You are doing a great job. No tournament for national teams has been conducted with greater panache and such professionalism before. Bravo!
Q : Would your Nation be available to play Nations Cup U21? What should be the criteria for participation?
A: I can not imagine that Poland U21 would not play in the new formula. This is the time for debutants, great managers, the future of this game. I would see the criteria very simple: no previous battles with the national team at any level. Debutants themselves. Team U21 made from one experienced player: between 500 and 1000 matches on one of the accounts, and the rest less than 500 games on one of the accounts. I can not imagine that debutants with a several thousand matches on one of the accounts would play in the tournament. This should be a tournament for young players in my opinion.Thank you so much @Dovco_HandF for this incredible interview! It´s always a pleasure, to receive your thoughts on this matter, we can feel your passion for National teams competitions! Thank you also, for the kind words, about our work in Nations Cup, nothing of this would be possible, without you and the other National coaches/captains, that trusted us, and supported this project, even before his birth! We are counting, with Poland, for Nations Cup 2022! Good luck to Poland, for the next competitions, in which you will participate!!
Your Feedback is very important to us!
We've launched a new initiative, here in Crews Forum, with the purpose of improving the manager´s experience, by consulting their opinion. This new topic it´s for the whole community, not only for the participants of the Nations Cup 2021, but for every user of OSM. Everyone is welcome! You can check it here.
Still counting! 84th edition of Nations Diary, is over, but we promise, to get back tomorrow, with more news and updates, in your Nations Diary!
️Thank you, stay safe and enjoy life!

Belgium (403 points) hold the 3rd place, and managed to reduce the difference in points for the first and second placed. Turkey (352 points) climbed from 6th to 4th, Croatia (351 points) managed to do even better, rose from 8th to 5th place and is just 1 point from 4th place. In 6th place is France (345 points) and is only 7 points from 4th place, Serbia (341 points) is in 7th place, and closing the mid top table, is Hungary (339 points) that dropped from 5th to 8th position. Between 4th place and 8th, there´s only 13 points separating the National teams! Until the end, there will be even more changes, as the balance is great and a turnaround can happen at any time!

Welcome Ladies and Gentlemen, to my humble chronicle, where the OSM gods delight the people everyday! With the bless of the almighty, Hunchy will seek their favour, to bring to you, the fantastic "miracles" of Nations Cup!
Extreme Evolution
It will be awarded to the managers with more squad evolution in the leagues, with their teams!
@arteromero from Spain
with 596M of squad evolution, is the new leader in a constant dance with @davidaguila76 two incredible managers, but only one might win! Cheers! 
Goal Frenzy
It will be awarded to the managers with more scored goals in the leagues with their teams!
@hangaboy from Cameroon
with 32 Scored Goals, he is a scoring machine! Bravo! 
The Wall
It will be awarded to the managers with less conceded goals in the leagues with their teams!
@davidaguila76 from Spain
with 6 conceded goals, is the isolated leader, his bricks are better than the opposite strikers! Congrats! 🧱Most Valuable Player
It will be awarded to the managers that score the most points for their National Teams!!
@oguzhan3407 from Turkey
with 173 points conquered for his National team, is the new leader, in one of the awards with more turnover and more unpredictable! Well done mate! 
Wonders of the OSM World, this managers keep the level so high, that i think they´ll set new records, that will endure through time!
Nation of the Day
Today I will analyze, another of the surprises of the qualifying phase: Cameroon!
They stand in 15th place with 158 points, but they deserve to be in another position. After a good and fresh performance in qualification phase, where they finish in 3rd place in Group B, ahead of National teams like Belgium and Morocco, this Final has gone in a completely different way. Hangaboy is their MVP with 75% of the total points his National team has achieved, and has the best attack of the competition with 32 scored goals! His sidekick is otman347891 with 25% of the total points Cameroon conquered so far. This means, that they are fighting alone, because the other 2 managers, have negative score, and have not been able to contribute to the National team score. Whatever happens until the end of this Final, this participation in the Nations Cup, will be remembered and they will be among the 16 best teams in the competition.
"Sure honey, i´m coming!" sorry guys, my wife is calling me to bed! It´s score night!! See ya folks!
Tonight, in Nations Diary, we receive the National coach of Portugal
, @bababufias that stood in 8th place in Group A in the qualfication phase, please give him a warm welcome! Q : By creating Nations Cup, our main goal is to empower the culture of OSM National teams. What type of actions you think should be done on each National community, in order to achieve that goal? What can you tell us about your National team History?
A : The Cup of Nations was an excellent idea to foster that same culture of national teams, which to grow, will always depend on the effort of each of the coaches of each country, to make an effort within each country to grow this culture of national teams. .
About my history of selection of Portugal, I was selected in 2015 for the selection with Rui Silenoz and since then I was always called for all competitions. When he changed the coach with the dear Pedro, I also continued to be called, I was lucky in 2015. to be called and grabbed that opportunity and demonstrated my quality as a player, after the national team stopped due to the GB having withdrawn the old battles, I ran for national coach, and now I am working with a staff, so that the name of Portugal is honored and led to glory.
Q : From the several competitions in OSM, which of them you observe? When you build your shortlist, what's more important in a manager: squad building or tactical knowledge?
A : I have a staff that helps me with the observation of players and we make a report of each one of them that comes with important aspects that we think are relevant for the evaluation of each one, and I follow the competitions closely in general, with many players Portuguese with quality. About player evaluation, making a valuable squad is an important aspect, about tactical knowledge, only through the classification in the table and the group to which the player belongs can we have an idea.
Q : How important is it for the development of a player to be part of a crew? Does a player need to be part of a crew to be called to your National Team Draft?
A : It is important for the player to develop appetites, and to develop his strategies and then check whether through the results that he has in individual and collective competitions. On the second question, it is not mandatory to be part of a group, to be part of the draft.
Q : For future editions of Nations Cup, can you tell us what sort of improvements you would like to see implemented, in order to improve the Tournaments overall quality, and help it achieve the ultimate goal of being one of the reference competitions in the OSM National Teams universe?
A : I think it is too early to make this analysis because the test has not yet come to an end, however so far I have seen a huge effort by all elements of the organization, so that it runs smoothly, and this is very valuable to me, I see a huge delivery from the organization so that the competition runs smoothly.
Q : Would your Nation be available to play Nations Cup U21? What should be the criteria for participation?
A : Yes, you can count on Portugal, and for that purpose there must be a limit of games played by each participant, to be able to participate in this event.This is what the Nations Cup is made of, great coaches, enlightened and enlightening, who project their knowledge and cultivate the spirit of being a member of a National team. Thank you Rui, for this great interview! We are counting with Portugal for Nations Cup 2022, meanwhile we wish the best of luck, for all competitions, that Portugal participate in the future!
Your Feedback is very important to us!

Good Evening Friends!
Welcome to the 86th edition of Nations Diary!
“He who is best prepared can best serve his moment of inspiration.” ― Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Nations Cup 2021 - Leaderboard - Round 21
We've entered the last third of this Nations Cup 2021 Final! India is holding firmly in the 1st place, with 493 points, almost 50 points ahead from the 2nd place, held by Spain, with 444 points. Belgium is in the 3rd place (416 pts) and is getting closer, round after round, to the top. Croatia is 4th with 380 points, with Hungary and Morocco climbing 3 positions each since yesterday, occupying the 5th place (375 pts) and the 6th place (368 pts), respectively. This zone of the leaderboard is quite volatile, with constant changes round after round! The last 9 rounds will be intense!

Cheers mates! One more round is played, and we're already in the final countdown to this Nations Cup 2021 Grand Finale! Who will be the Champion? We'll, that depends entirely on how well Managers will perform in the last 9 rounds! And some of them are already leaving a significant mark! Hi, I'm Sir Hunchy! Let's take a look on the Individual Awards performances:
Extreme Evolution
It will be awarded to the managers with more squad evolution in the leagues, with their teams!@davidaguila76 from Spain
with 619M of Squad Evolution is in a constant dance with his teammate @arteromero ! This looks like a Flamenco performance! Olé!Goal Frenzy
It will be awarded to the managers with more scored goals in the leagues with their teams!@hangaboy from Cameroon
with 32 Scored Goals didn't score in this round! But is sill quite comfortable in the lead, 6 goals ahead form the competition!The Wall

@davidaguila76 from Spain with 6 conceded goals is holding with heart and soul the leadership in this Award! That's an average of 0,3 conceded goals per round!Most Valuable Player
It will be awarded to the managers that score the most points for their National Teams!!@Kashaf-sanchez from India
with 184 points conquered for the National team, is back to the lead! This Award will be disputed fiercely until the last round!Along with this "usual suspects", a lot of Managers are also doing their best to help National Teams achieve their goals! I'm delighted with the superb quality we have in this Nations Cup edition!
Nation of the Day
Syria in on the radar today! They've finished 4th place in Group A, in the Qualifying Round, with 653 points!
Things aren't going as expected for this National Team, as they are currently in the last place (16th) with only 56 points. One manager stands out in Syria's lineup, though: @hani-koubeisi has a 76 points contribution for the National Team score, with 7 wins, 5 draws and 9 defeats (17 goals scored, 21 conceded). The other managers in the lineup are quite bellow in their performance levels, and the last place they occupy can't be seen as a surprise. But there's 9 rounds ahead, so... give your best guys! A recovery is still possible!
SIr Hunchy ends his live here! He's already running to the backstage, as he's forgotten to feed the Iguana! Poor thing! Bye!
In tonight's edition of Nations Diary, we're pleased to welcome @benilevels , National Team Coach of Panama!
Q : By creating Nations Cup, our main goal is to empower the culture of OSM National teams. What type of actions you think should be done on each National community, in order to achieve that goal? What can you tell us about your National team History?
Our country is a very small one and with a population of only 4 million. In osm, is very hard. We are only 9 users interested in representing our country.
There's no such big history here, we made a huge impact on the former competition known as WNT and people started mentioning Panama but it is very hard for ourselves.
Time, resources and availability.Q : From the several competitions in OSM, which of them you observe? When you build your shortlist, what's more important in a manager: squad building or tactical knowledge?
I'm focused in the national team tournaments.
Basically TNH, which is an official competition.
100% squad building and 100% tactical... We focus on both, this game is programmed for you to spend your coins.Q : How important is it for the development of a player to be part of a crew? Does a player need to be part of a crew to be called to your National Team Draft?
I developed myself in a crew, and started guiding my people in Panama.
Not necessarily to be part of a crew, we are still looking for new members to join our team..Q : For future editions of Nations Cup, can you tell us what sort of improvements you would like to see implemented, in order to improve the Tournaments overall quality, and help it achieve the ultimate goal of being one of the reference competitions in the OSM National Teams universe?
No limit in crew per rounds (for example, 3 from THE LAST WARRIORS and 1 from RENACIDOS in round 1 should be allowed)Q : Would your Nation be available to play Nations Cup U21? What should be the criteria for participation?
Yes, we will be available.Thank you for your kindness to answer our questions, and we hope to see Panama in next year's edition of Nations Cup!
Your Feedback is very important to us!

Well, that's all for today. We would love to have your feedback on the final rounds whereabouts! After all, the first Nations Cup Champion will be assigned! Come on! Support your favourite teams to win this Final!

Hello my friends,
"Life is a daily learning. I move away from chaos and follow a simple thought: the simpler the better!" - José Saramago
Nations Cup 2021 - Leaderboard - Round 22
With 8 rounds to be played, India (522 points) and Spain (456 points) and Belgium (448 points) kept the podium, but the difference between the 1st and the 2nd is now bigger more than 50 points, and the difference between 2nd and 3rd is smaller only 8 points! In 4th place is Croatia (407 points) and Hungary (390 points) also kept their positions but more distant from the first 3. In 6th position is Serbia (387 points) that had climbed from 9th, in 7th place is Morocco (382 points) that dropped from 6th. And closing the first half of the table, is France (375 points) that climbed from 10th position. Unbelievable! In a single round, any team can climb 2 or 3 positions, or drop the same way, with exception for India, that is a bit more confortable, and "out" of reach, anything is possible!

@davidaguila76 from Spain and @Hispán16 from Hungary are tied with 8 conceded goals, this will be very dificult to decide! Most Valuable Player
It will be awarded to the managers that score the most points for their National Teams!! @Hispán16 from Hungary with 194 points conquered for his National team, recovered the leadership of this award, but this far from being settled! Bravo! This League of Champions is something surreal! When i think that they are in the edge, they manage to raise even more the records!
Nation of the Day
Currently in 2nd postion with 456 points, after being in 1st place for several rounds, Spain is still fighting for the title! This very balanced line-up, with Jason_brody (127 points) as MVP and Davidaguila76 (126 points) as the second best, had a drop in performance that led the team to lose the leadership of the Final. As you can see, in this graphic, from 16 days ago :
They managed to level the score achieved, among all coaches, but the "stars" Mickytuli and Davidaguila76 started to contribute with less points individually. If they raise their game again, i think it´s possible to recover the 1st place and become the winner of Nations Cup 2021! Do not underestimate La Roja!
"43...12...24...51...69..." - Bingo! I win! Yeah! Sorry guys, it´s Bingo night here at home! Well, i´ll be back tomorrow, to bring you the best performances in Nations Cup! Cheers!
They stayed in 8th place, in Group B, in the qualification phase, and tonight in Nations Diary, we receive their National coach, directly from the U.A.E.
please welcome @mcfc_uae169 Q : By creating Nations Cup, our main goal is to empower the culture of OSM National teams. What type of actions you think should be done on each National community, in order to achieve that goal? What can you tell us about your National team History?
A : First of all, we start in 2018 with only 10 manager maybe 4 years ago in those years we was developed our national team I do just 5% what my team do they do hard work to keep going if you not have good players that support you to develop this national team you can’t continue , if you want to achieve the goal you should to cooperate with each if tactics or any thing that help us without cooperate your team will be stopped in same position you start in , and actually you should to learn the experience from other national teams, yes you will lose but in other time you will be the winner, we have some words is say impossible is possible that is our banner.
Q : From the several competitions in OSM, which of them you observe? When you build your shortlist, what's more important in a manager: squad building or tactical knowledge?
A : The national team championship and crew championship , the important for us is not the tactics maybe this is working now but after few months or days will come another update for this game and it will be over the squad building is great things you do and they will found the tactics.
Q : How important is it for the development of a player to be part of a crew? Does a player need to be part of a crew to be called to your National Team Draft?
A : No , the player should play with us in many leagues than we will decide if he can play in national championship or not.
Q : For future editions of Nations Cup, can you tell us what sort of improvements you would like to see implemented, in order to improve the Tournaments overall quality, and help it achieve the ultimate goal of being one of the reference competitions in the OSM National Teams universe?
A : I have suggestions, I was see the new championship have games 4 vs 4 but thay not in same league indevgual leagues , I think it’s great if you do like this in next year of championship , I I have another suggestion it’s not about national championship it about mixed like crew championship but you will select the the groups it’s hard organization but in future maybe we will have like this.
Q : Would your Nation be available to play Nations Cup U21? What should be the criteria for participation?
A : Yes sure it’s great
I think the player who participate should not played before in national championship.Thank you @mcfc_uae169 for this interview, and for the ideas and suggestions for a future edition of Nations Cup. Meanwhile, we wish the best of luck, for future competitions, that U.A.E.

Good evening OSM fans! now live from the Nations Cup Arena, the one and only Sir Hunchy!
Greetings folks! This Nations Cup 2021 Final never stops to surprise me! When everyone thought the title would be a 2 Teams dispute between India and Spain, here's Belgium appearing in the horizon like a shinning knight! The Red Devils are on the run, and let's see how things evolve! India can't rest a second, and Spain... well, I'm quite sure they won't cease trying to get back to the top! That's what I call a twisted plot!
And now, let's take a look on the Managers performances.
Extreme Evolution
It will be awarded to the managers with more squad evolution in the leagues, with their teams!@davidaguila76 from Spain
with 777M of Squad Evolution is making the most of this weekends OSM event! He's already 101M ahead from the competition! 
Goal Frenzy
It will be awarded to the managers with more scored goals in the leagues with their teams!@hangaboy from Cameroon

It will be awarded to the managers with less conceded goals in the leagues with their teams!@zenudin_m from Bosnia and Herzegovina
and @Hispán16 from Hungary are still both with 8 conceded goals. Let's who will hold longer the nets unbalanced!Most Valuable Player
It will be awarded to the managers that score the most points for their National Teams!!@Hispán16 from Hungary
with 204 points conquered for the Team is now 20 points ahead from the 2th. This Manager alone represents 50% of Hungary's current score! Awesome!As we get closer to this Epic Final's ending, with just 8 rounds to play, it's time to see the mental strength of all the Managers in competition! It's all or nothing from now on! Focus is the key word!
Nation of the Day
Bosnia and Herzegovina is back to the analysis board! Last time i've take a look in this Team's performance, they were in the 2nd place (after round 7).
This Team's performance has been quite volatile in the last rounds, proof that the competitive level of this Final is sky high! After round 22, they're in the 7th place, with 398 points, and everything is still possible! @zenudin_m continues to be this Team's MVP, now with 181 points (45% of the Team's total score), with 12 wins, 6 draws and 4 defeats, 24 scored goals and 8 conceded (one of the best performances in The Wall award). The other three lineup Managers are with positive performances, and it's up to them the extra boost Bosnia needs to climb up in the Leaderboard!Bellow you can see this Team's performance graphic back from round 7:
My job is done for today! I've decided to move in closer to this Nations Cup Arena, now, as I could't bear anymore with all the constant trips back and forth home! These guys gave me a quiet flat in the top of the Nations Cup Tower, right beside the Arena. It's a penthouse, with a private pool! Not bad! I miss home, but... I could be worse! Back to the pool now! The champagne is getting warmer! Cheers!
In today's edition of Nations Diary, well get back to the Managers interviews! Some of them are performing outstandingly in this Nations Cup 2021 Final, and that's precisely the case of @Kashaf-sanchez from India
, that is currently one of the Most Valuable Players of this Final, with a personal score of 185 points!Q - What do you think of the Tournament?
I think it’s really a good competition, I am really enjoying my self this is the first time I’m representing India and I hope I’ll do the same in years to come.Q - Do you have any suggestion to improve it?
The sim timings are not suitable that’s the only issue I’m facing right now. Other than this everything is perfect.Q - Were you expecting to represent your National team? What's the feeling?
I didn’t expect it because there are many managers who play well in India but my team captain provided me with the opportunity and I’m relishing it.Q - What can you tell, about your OSM career?
It started along back mostly was playing my friends back in days until one day played with paniyat and started playing competitively and now I play for one of the best crews in the game Idios Assassins.Q - If you win this award, what does it mean to you?
It means everything I have worked hard for it staying up late for sims sometimes and being active on transfer lists despite working, so yeah it will mean a lot.Q - Can you unveil your secret to success?
I just work hard on tactics. If one doesn’t work switch on to the other one. Trying to figure out different tactics that work, that's the only secret.Thank you! Best of luck for these final rounds! Go Tigers!
Your Feedback is very important to us!

The next days will be decisive! See you tomorrow! Cheers!
In today's edition of Nations Diary, we'll keep interviewing Managers who are performing outstandingly in the Nations Cup Final!
Welcome @zenudin_m from Bosnia and Herzegovina
, the current leader of The Wall Award, with only 8 conceded goals after 24 rounds!Q - What do you think of the Tournament?
The tournament is very good. I believe it will be uncertain and tense to the very end. Many national teams played, but unfortunately not all of them could play in the finals. I hope it will take place next year as well, because playing in such a big tournament means a lot.
I would also commend the organizers who are doing a great job.Q - Do you have any suggestion to improve it?
When it comes to improving the quality of the tournament itself, first of all I would remove the rule that dictates there can be only 2 managers from the same crew, thus enabling the national teams with smaller communities to be able to bring the best they have got to the tournament.Q - Were you expecting to represent your National team? What's the feeling?
To be honest, I didn’t think I was going to represent my national team. Primarily because I almost, a year ago, started playing OSM. But, of course, I am glad that the selector, AdiAgainCcC, recognized my quality and invited me to play for the national team.
The feeling is amazing. Representing my national team in one big tournament means a lot to me.Q - What can you tell about your OSM career?
I can say a few sentences about my OSM career. I started playing OSM out of boredom, with my friends. I played like that for 2 months, purely out of boredom. I soon understood the concept of games, how it works, and I was getting better day by day. Thanks to my selector, AdiAgainCcC, and my good friend, IvanAndal, I became an even better manager, and this can be seen in my results in the NC finals.
Certainly, I still have a lot to learn.Q - If you win this award, what does it mean to you?
If we won the award it would mean a lot to us. We are a small country from the Balkans, which does not have some rights like other competing national teams. Winning NC would be a great success, given that we entered the finals as “outsiders”. They would also settle for a place at the very top (laughs).Q - Can you unveil your secret to success?
The secret of success? Analyze opponents well, what they play at home and what away. What formations do they use, what players are available for the match. And most importantly, a good and proven tactic that you need to be sure of. I think that is the most important thing, but of course there are some little things that I would not like to reveal to the public.Thank you for your insights and availability to answer our questions @zenudin_m ! Best of luck to Bosnia and Herzegovina in the final rounds!
Your Feedback is very important to us!

That's all for today's edition of Nations Diary! We're only 6 rounds away from knowing which National Team will be the first Nations Cup Champion! Next week will be quite intense! Don't miss a bit! We'll be here day after day, as usual, to keep you updated! See you tomorrow!

Nations Cup 2021 Final - Leaderboard - Round 25
With 5 rounds to play, there were changes in the Leaderboard again, with Spain recovering the 3rd place. India (597 points) kept the lead, but with less advantage over Belgium (507 points) which in turn increased the advantage over Spain (486 points) to 21 points. Croatia (483 points) is in 4th place, and Morocco (463 points) kept the 5th position, Hungary (459 points) climbed from 8th to 6th place. Bosnia (448 points) dropped from 6th to 7th position, and France (433 points) dropped from 7th place to 8th closing the mid top table. Between 3rd and 8th there are only 53 points, which means that more changes will happen in the table, just a less successful game, by one of the coaches, will be enough to cause these changes! All the details are important, the pressure continues to rise, only with steel nerves can the error be avoided!

"Once upon a time...4 friends decided to do something, for their community ... and so was born ... the Nations Cup!" Howdy folks! I was explaining, my youngest son, how did this project started. Today I am feeling nostalgic, this adventure is approaching the end. But until then, let´s see how did our superstars performed!

Nation of the Day
16 days ago, i made the first analysis, on their performance, and they were, in 3rd place with 194 points, as you can see in the next graphic :
But since then, things didn´t run as they expect, and now Indonesia is in 10th place with 388 points, let´s take a look at their actual stats :
As you can see, KING GOSSY is still their MVP, with 171 points representing 44% of the total points Indonesia conquered. Followed by muse muse with 131 points representing 34% of the total points that his National team achieved. The downfall in the Leaderboard, due to the fact that only 2 coaches continue to earn points, and the other 2 coaches are unable to match or improve performances. Nevertheless, they still have 5 rounds, to try to climb in the table, and if they don´t manage to do it, they´ve already done a great competition, and they will stand in top 16 of Nations Cup Ranking.
And that´s it fellows! This is the end of today´s report. I´ll be back tomorrow, and i´m pretty sure, with huge expectations! Cheerio!
Tonight, in Nations Diary, we continue with the series of interviews, to the coaches, who are standing out in the awards. And this guy, has been in the spotlight since the 1st round, please give a warm welcome, to the leader of the Goal Frenzy award : @hangaboy from Cameroon
Q : Who is the person behind your nickname?
A : My name is Hanga Catalin, 32 years old, father of three children.
Q : You had a successful NC 2021 Round 1, finishing 1. What are your thoughts on you performance?
A : Yes, à very good first round for me. I try always to do my best.
Q : Who were your biggest rivals on your way to success in Round 1 and what were the most difficult games you had?
A : In a high Level tournement like this all managers are very good so each match is very difficult.
Q : Concerning the NC 2021 and the individual awards (Goal Frenzy, Extreme Evolution, The Wall and MVP), do they motivate you to perform even better? If so, why?
A : I try always to do my best but for sure that individual awards give us more motivation
Q : The Final has already started and everyone is doing their best to take the gold medal home. Which National Team do you think will be the winner?
A : Unfortunetly Cameroun sélection is already out of run for golden medal. Of course for the moment the Spanish are very good for the first place, but there are some Nations who can put them problems.Thank you Hanga, you are an inspiration for us all, some of us are also fathers, and reconciling family life with a high level competition, such as the Nations Cup, is not always easy to achieve. Once again, thank you for this wonderful interview and good luck to Cameroon!

Nations Cup 2021 Final - Leaderboard - Round 26
Another turnaround in the table, now it was Croatia that stood out the most, as it overtook Spain to enter the podium! India (599 points) kept the lead but only 71 points ahead of Croatia (528 points), which is in 2nd place, Belgium (526 points) closes the podium in 3rd. Spain (493 points) dropped from 3rd to 4th place, Morocco (471 points) kept the 5th, and Hungary (468 points) is in 6th position. In 7th is Indonesia (465 points) that had the biggest climb from 10th, and closing the mid top table is France (440 points) in 8th position. With only 4 rounds to play, it remains unpredictable who will be the winner of the Nations Cup, the gap between 1st and 3rd is only 73 points, and between 4th and 8th is 53 points.

@Hispán16 from Hungary with 232 points conquered for his National team, managed to keep the lead in one of the most disputed awards! Bravo! No wonder, Hungary did such a brilliant climb in the ranking, this manager @Hispán16 is on fire!
Nation of the Day
France that is currently in 8th place with 440 points, had a strong start, as you can see, by this report made 16 days ago :
They were in 3rd position with 231 points, and foulardinho was their MVP with 42% of the points. They managed to balance, the points achieved by all managers, as you see in this graphic :
And foulardinho is still their best manager, with 163 points representing 36% of the total points, followed by Remy Goubet with 110 points (24%). But the other teams also manage to grow their point rate, and France even doing an excellent final, couldn´t achieve enough strenght, to climb back to the podium. Nevertheless, this are world class managers, and one of the best National teams in this tournament, and they might get a higher ranking until the end of the competition. Allez les Bleus!Well i´m exausted! This Final seems like a Rollercoaster! My poor heart is still pounding with so much emotion! I need to chill a little bit, it´s time to go to bed, and recover energy! Bye Bye!

Our guest for todays edition of Nations Diary is @hashim-mohamed-club , Libya's National Team Coach.
Q: By creating the Nations Cup, our main goal is to empower the culture of national OSM teams. What kind of action do you think should be done on every national community, in order to achieve this goal? What can you tell us about the history of your national team?
Such tournaments make the game fun and should continue throughout the year.
The Libyan team was created four years ago, it is still developing and we participated in many Arab and international championships previouslyQ: From several competitions in OSM, which of them have you noticed? When you build your shortlist, what is more important in the manager: band building or tactical knowledge?
(NC) The tournament is fun, the organization is beautiful and more than wonderful.
Tactical force is nothing without a strong team and vice versa
Q: How important is it to develop a player as part of a crew? Does the player have to be part of a crew to be called into your national team's draft?
No, it doesn't matter if he's in one of the crews if his performance is strong and familiar to us, especially in individual national championships.Q: For future editions of the Nations Cup, can you tell us what kind of improvements you want to make, in order to improve the overall quality of the championships and help them achieve the ultimate goal of being one of the reference competitions in the world of national OSM teams?
Everything's as good as it is.Q: Will your nation be available to play the Under-21 Nations Cup? What are the criteria for participation?
Yes, ready, and the prescribed age will be adhered to, and the new coaches will be selected to gain more experience.Thank you Hashim! Hope to see Libya again in next year's edition of Nations Cup! Good luck to all the competitions you're in as a Team! Go Libya!

In Nations Diary, we received all the National coaches and also the coaches who stood out during the competition. Creating an interaction between all those present in the tournament. Today we are going to do something different! Let's interview, those who were behind the scenes, and who were crucial to carry out this project! And we start, with one of the staff members, who launched the first idea that would result in this competition. Please give a warm welcome to @FeelStrikeX
Q : How did the idea of the Nations Cup started?
A : The idea of the Nations Cup was born in October 2020 but the intention to hold a tournament had been going on since the end of the forum battles was made official and we all realized that there would be no going back and it was really important to return to the national team competitions as soon as possible, because it was a tremendous shock in the community that was disoriented without knowing how to move forward, because the fact is that the players, the great players like to face each other and prove their worth to the rest of the community, this being the reason that everyone loved the forum battles.
However, the end also brought the theoretical end of the teams that were and are still in the process of development. You could be eliminated with the end of the forum battles because at their peak and that everyone recognized them as the maximum that any player can achieve and that he must fight for. to be able to get there.
Me being part of the technical team of the Portuguese team with the coach Pedro Querido in order to combat a possible end of the teams came up the idea to do something new that in the future together with Apocalipse4 (Paulo) Moltensky (Luís) and nelson6112 (Nelson) can follow the path that I think everyone saw in the forum.
Q : What made you join the idea of producing a national team tournament?
A : The fact of making me join was, above all, wanting to change and adapt the new reality of the game to the world of the national teams, being that with the companions who started the project and those who joined later it was an extra factor.
Q : What was the biggest difficulty in organizing the Tournament?
A : The biggest difficulty with the Nations Cup was the fact that it initially seemed that we had no support as there was a lot to combine to please the largest number of National coaches looking for a competitive tournament and OSM staffs looking for active user intervention on the topic and not to be just another topic, to fill the 2 things it was necessary it was very difficult time for us as organizers.
Q : During the tournament, what difficulties arose and what solutions were found to solve them?
A : During the tournament the biggest difficulty initially was the fact that there was a lot of disorganized idea that was very confused in the first days after opening the topic.
After that, it was logically to have the interviews of all the interviewees.
Eventually, after a few days after the official start of the tournament, it was my short time because it was in the most difficult phase of the semester that I ended up leading the rest of the organizers to have had extra work, which I know caused a headache in so much, although have tried to give them the best support they could even though it was very, very weak help. I believe that afterwards I got better near the end that I could do anything else.
Among the problems that arose from the tournament, the solutions were usually easy to solve and there was nothing extraordinary.
Without being the biggest problem that turned out to be my lack of time, which I think was the biggest headache of all, there was nothing special.
Q : What did you think of the experience of producing a tournament that had so much adherence?
A : I took more advantage of the final stage, about the experience I can say that it was not normal because the organizers were focused on a simple thing in the success of the competition and we are still in the success in the future to achieve even greater adherence because we believe that in the near future there is control bigger and better in the world of OSM teams and we want to be the tournament that will answer the thirst to win, so we work with the objective of improving and bringing the best possible material to the teams. This experience has shown that there is a lot of desire from the national teams that want to grow and improve the competitive scenario to determine who is the country with the best quality of play.
Q : In your initial preliminary forecast were this 16 teams in the Nations Cup final?
A : Honestly, there weren't many teams that surprised me by the fact that they reached the final, the fact that even Portugal didn't reach the final was disheartening because I was sure that Portugal could have made the final and who knows how to fight for one of the top 3 places in the NC, however I was happy for some teams such as the Ukrainian team and the Cameroon team that were surprised because of the teams that entered are the youngest teams, which shows that this competitive branch is growing and that it will be talked about all over the OSM community.Thank you Joaquim, for this magnific interview! In which you make known to the community, all the work developed, by the staff of the Nations Cup, to provide the best possible experience to all participants. None of this would have been possible, without your involvement, your resilience and belief that we would be able to organize a competition of this magnitude! We continue to count on you, for the next projects, that we want to organize, and I believe that the community is grateful for your participation!
Your Feedback is very important to us!
We've launched a new initiative, here in Crews Forum, with the purpose of improving the manager´s experience, by consulting their opinion. This new topic it´s for the whole community, not only for the participants of the Nations Cup 2021, but for every user of OSM. Everyone is welcome! You can check it here.
And that´s it, Nations Diary is finished for today, but we still have news and updates, to bring to you, don´t miss it! Tomorrow same time, and same place!
Thank you, stay safe and enjoy life!

Today, in Nations Diary, we have the honour to welcome the Managers who have played in the two rounds for the first Nations Cup 2021 Champion, India ! Let's see what they have to say, shortly after being crowned the Champions!
Q. Congratulations on winning the Nations Cup 2021! Were you expecting to win? What does this title mean to you?
Thank you for organizing such a beautiful tournament. I have never seen such tremendous dedication in not only updating the results, but also engaging the community. Thank you Apocalipse4 and the rest of the organizing team. I would also thank our Captain Paniyath for giving me the chance to represent India in the prelims and in the finals. This has been a tiring month to be honest. So the amount of effort put in only makes the victory sweeter. And credit to the organizing team for hosting it this way, it only shows how important the tournament is.
I personally wasn’t expecting to win until we hit Matchweek 20 and were at the top. Until then, I was trying to just do my best and see where it took us. Credit to the team here, Paniyath for his leadership and obviously his performance. Kashaf-sanchez for being the x-factor for us, Mubashir22222 for doing a solid job with the G13 team, and Tony Alvera and Shaibaz for their gritty performances in the prelims.Q. Did you prepare a special strategy for the final? What were the guidelines?
Strategy was to win as many games as we could haha. We did try to factor in the sleep schedule of our team after the drawing countries for the 4 leagues were announced, along with which goal best suits which manager.
Post that most of our strategy improvisation though, maximizing yield with what we had on any given matchday.Q. Who was the most difficult opponent? Why?
Among the countries, obviously Spain, Croatia and Belgium, because they were in it right until the end. As far as individuals, I think all were great, and even till the last day, I was never sure if I was going to beat them going into the game. But while I don’t know many or haven’t played them enough before, I would give a shout out to hangaboy for his attacking brand of football that he played in my league.Q. Please define in one word, all the managers that played for Índia in the two rounds.
Paniyath – Visionary
Kashaf – Genius
Mubashir – Nifty
Shaibaz – Fearless
Tony Alvera – InventiveQ. What would you change, in this competition, for the next edition?
a. Sim Timings – Either a common sim time for all Leagues, one that suits all nations. This could be done if the organizing team sets up the league and resigns soon as they can. That would mean 1 CPU team per league. Alternatively – different Sim timings for all 4 leagues with “Region Advantage”. Europe and Africa get 1 preferred slot, Far east gets 1, South and Middle East Asia gets 1 and Americas get 1. Maybe something could be thought around this?
b. Secret Trainings – While everyone has 6 to use, some teams face more STs than the rest. Maybe this should be done away with.
c. Scoring – Greater emphasis to achieving goal, slightly lower emphasis to GD.
d. Match of the Day – 1 big game can be analysed each day, right from the build-up and predictions, to the results and performances.Q. Will you step forward, to defend the title, in Nations Cup 2022? Even if the format change?
I am certain India would defend the title. But as far as individuals are concerned, it would come down to the best 6 of us. We do have a decent bench strength, so whoever is best suited to defend the title, will be representing us.Q. Congratulations on winning the Nations Cup 2021! Were you expecting to win? What does this title mean to you?
Thank you for the appreciation!! This is the biggest Tournament we have won as a Nation. When I was called for the final I had a feeling we will win since this is the 3rd final we won back to back starting with AFC Asia Cup and AWC 2020. It surely means a lot to us as a Nation moving forward and to motivate others to play this beautiful game.Q. Did you prepare a special strategy for the final? What were the guidelines?**
Vishnu (Paniyath) is one of the best captains out there and trust me I have played with quite a few strong ones including Jeff from Idas crew but he stands above all. He does his homework and makes things easy for us. Including all the possible scenarios. It's a pleasure to play under his guidance. India is a strong Nation we just need more leaders like him.Q. Who was the most difficult opponent? Why?
Hispàn16 I feel he chopped and changed nicely.Q. Please define in one word, all the managers that played for Índia in the two rounds.
Believe.Q. What would you change, in this competition, for the next edition?
I wouldn't change much I like the idea of no TCs and allowing the maximum use of STs. They say that when you are winning don't change much.Q. Will you step forward, to defend the title, in Nations Cup 2022? Even if the format change?
Definitely. "In it to win it".Q. Congratulations on winning the Nations Cup 2021! Were you expecting to win? What does this title mean to you?
This is 3rd trophy for our country and it is a big achievement for us as we add another silverware to our collection.Q. Did you prepare a special strategy for the final? What were the guidelines?
We all kept believing in each other and never gave up. We played every game like it was a knockout for us and that helped us in doing better and better after every game. All thanks to Paniyath for putting us together from last 5 years and getting the best Indian managers as well as always motivating us for every game. If you have a good leader who believes in you than you have half battles and there is huge confidence to win this or any tournament.Q. Who was the most difficult opponent? Why?
I thought Spain will be a difficult opponent and they were in title race from day one but they slowed down towards the end but that doesn't matter as the pressure was always on us from other teams too.Q. Please define in one word, all the managers that played for Índia in the two rounds.
HardworkingQ. What would you change, in this competition, for the next edition?
Maybe better teams to face as it was one sided in finals.. Haha just kidding Umm I wish we had early sim timings or a timing which suits all countries as late sim doesn't suit many asian countries.Q. Will you step forward, to defend the title, in Nations Cup 2022? Even if the format change?
We are world class managers and we play less OSM but we have more than 10yrs of experience in OSM and when it comes to playing for our country, we are always ready to face anyone at any tournament because that is how has been our mentality always.. above all YNWA is what i wanna say to all my Indian brothers whoever plays osm.. we won it for you all..
️Q. Congratulations on winning the Nations Cup 2021! Were you expecting to win? What does this title mean to you?
Thanks,I wasn’t expecting it honestly as it is my first time representing India on such a big stage. It means the world to us honestly we worked hard for it and deserve itQ. Did you prepare a special strategy for the final? What were the guidelines?
We have certain strategies against some big name managers as our captain knew about them. Guidelines regarding their formation and what they have achieved in the past was told to me that really helped me a lot.Q. Who was the most difficult opponent? Why?
foulardinho and oguzhan3407 were my most difficult opponents. As I couldn’t beat them over the two rounds.Q. Please define in one word, all the managers that played for Índia in the two rounds.
They are experienced managers playing the game for over 8-9 years and have represented india in the past so in one word I would say “ Conquerors “Q. What would you change, in this competition, for the next edition?
I would just change the sim timings as it is very difficult for us to be awake at night for the sims and other managers take advantage of it.Q. Will you step forward, to defend the title, in Nations Cup 2022? Even if the format change?
Surely i am definitely up for the challenge again next year.Q. Congratulations on winning the Nations Cup 2021! Were you expecting to win? What does this title mean to you?
My feelings right now, I must say I'm thrilled. It was quite a difficult run faced some very good managers both in the qualifications and the finals. Really proud of what we have achieved.
Were we expecting to win? Well, we had some really good managers on the squad, who are very capable. We also had really good run in the AWC cup last year. So we always knew we had a chance.Q. Did you prepare a special strategy for the final? What were the guidelines?
I wouldn't say we had any special strategies. Our plan was to do the basics right, build well and play our game. We would discuss tactics if any of us hit a roadblock.Q. Who was the most difficult opponent? Why?
I faced some really good managers in my league. But the trickiest opponent (no pun
) I faced was my fellow crew mate trickeymaster. He won the league I was in and did an amazing job. It was a shame his team couldn't go through to the next round. His performance was outstanding.Q. Please define in one word, all the managers that played for Índia in the two rounds.
Resolute. Our goal was always to give it our best shot and never give in. Also, cheers to our skipper Paniyath for putting together such a squad. I know he has put in a lot of effort for this over the last couple of years.Q. What would you change, in this competition, for the next edition?
This format was quite refreshing. Regarding what I'd change, maybe get rid of the rule for 2 manager swap in-between rounds? And maybe even the 2 managers per crew limit? Guess I'm being a little bit selfish there
But I guess these rules have made the tournament more interesting.Q. Will you step forward, to defend the title, in Nations Cup 2022? Even if the format change?
Absolutely. Whatever the format maybe, we will step up to defend the title. We will be looking forward to it.Q. Congratulations on winning the Nations Cup 2021! Were you expecting to win? What does this title mean to you?
Thank you and to be honest I didn’t expect us to put up a performance like that against some really good teams especially after how the qualifying round went for us and just edging 6th place from our group but all credit to my teammates they made it possible and they wanted it more. The belief came when we kept pressure on Spain since day one and never slowed down and after 15 rounds we knew this was possible and that motivated us to go all the way.
The title means a lot this is definitely the biggest trophy my country has won based on difficulty of opponents, being consistent in a 30 round league season, etc so I am more than happy to see us compete against some greatest nations in OSM. It is our dream to put India on the map as in the game we don’t have many well known managers competing at the highest level or have a community in the forum to share with our people so it feels great to be part of a golden period in our OSM history.Q. Did you prepare a special strategy for the final? What were the guidelines?
There was no special strategy but to just believe in yourself. Everyone were allowed to build and play what they felt will get us as much wins as possible in the league and we will always communicate daily when each match came along and worked our way to beat opponents. Communication is key and for a format which I feel is quite individualized compared to forum battles we find ways to communicate more and make it enjoyable as a team game should. It’s all about enjoying the journeyQ. Who was the most difficult opponent? Why?
Every game was difficult in my league even if they were struggling at the bottom it was always a difficult match and anyone could take points from each other. But if I have to say which were my most difficult matches
I would say against arteromero and maskedandy_1, struggled to beat them over the two legs.Q. Please define in one word, all the managers that played for Índia in the two rounds.
Warriors
Q. What would you change, in this competition, for the next edition?
I gave my feedback and suggestions on this in the topic but in brief would like to see crew rule change to a limit of allowing at least 3 from the same crew, maybe could do away with swapping managers between rounds to benefit teams who got smaller squads, I would like to see immediate sales allowed and Secret Training turned off. And of course regarding the scoring system some minor changes to the calculation system like giving more points for achieving goal and above goal bonuses compared to GD.Q. Will you step forward, to defend the title, in Nations Cup 2022? Even if the format change?
Even if the format changes we will be ready. Adapting in any given situation is key, and of course a year is a lot when you consider team development but we will of course give everything to try to defend the title again.
Thanks once again for organising tournaments like this and bringing back national teams together. Hopefully we see more tournaments like this from your team in the future haha
We wish to thank all these 6 magnificent Managers for the fast reply to our questions! It's a pleasure to have your feedback in the moments right after accomplishing this enormous achievement for your National Team! Go Tigers!
And now... The NC Staff has a surprise for India! Check it out!
This ends our 96th edition of Nations Diary! Come back tomorrow, for more info about this Tournament!
Thank you, stay safe and enjoy life!

In today's edition of Nations Diary, we'll continue with the NC Staff Interviews, and the next in line is @Apocalipse4 !
Q : How did the idea of the Nations Cup started?
Well all of us, we had a deep disappointment with the end of the forum battles. I confess, that I even told @FeelStrikeX that I was going to abandon the game, because I didn't feel the same emotion, from the times of the forum battles. I had already resigned myself to this idea when he launched the idea of organizing a tournament for National teams. It was October 2020, and at that time I was participating with my crew at ISC in an excellent tournament organized by the Red Skulls, and by my friend Germán ( @Profezor ). And with the inspiration of this format and also of the CC, organized with great mastery by @Maris-14 @woopertje and @Davemx1984, the idea started to take shape.
And Joaquim and I both felt that it could be a good way to bring back the great competitions of National teams, so that was the wish of the countries. Fortunately, our idea was well received by the first National coaches, whom we contacted, still without the project fully defined. And it was from there that we believed that the idea had the strength to become a reality. Meanwhile, the team grew, with the entry of Luis (@Moltensky) and Nelson (@ nelson6111), and the details that needed to be realized were quickly defined. On 01/20 we received the authorization to open the topic in the Crews forum, and from there everything went according to what we were planning, and the Nations Cup was born!Q : What made you join the idea of producing a national team tournament?
Well for me, this decision is related, not only to the challenge that was thrown at me by @FeelStrikeX, but also to the pride I have for my country, and the honor that I had to represent him at OSM, when I went international for the first time, by the hand of @pedroquerido14 and the national technical commission that accompanied him. There was always this "debt" to the National team, in the period after the end of the forum battles, and also to the community in general, because we were all deprived of these types of competitions. After the first reaction to Joaquim's idea, that a competition with these characteristics would not be viable, my involvement ended up being natural in this project that came to fill a void that existed in the OSM universe.Q : What was the biggest difficulty in organizing the Tournament?
When we started to align ideas, to organize this tournament, there was a certain skepticism, manifested particularly in the true willingness of nations to participate. This doubt began to fade, as we were receiving the support of the countries. After this phase of anxiety, a phase of euphoria followed, especially when @King_Jamiu_10 authorized the creation of the topic in the Crews forum. And I entered with my left foot, in that first instant, when making the opening post, with a singular phrase: "Welcome to the home of the National teams", when I was supposed to have made the opening post, with the explanation of the format and regulation of the competition! It should be said that only Luis and Nelson, had experience in organizing competitions, at the national level, so for them it was also a debut at an international level, but Joaquim and I were the team's rookies! Basically, I think that the biggest difficulty we had was to be able to reconcile our involvement in this large-scale project with our personal and professional lives. There was a great sacrifice, from everyone on different occasions, to respond to the challenges that were placed on us.Q : During the tournament, what difficulties arose and what solutions were found to solve them?
The biggest challenge we were faced with, in addition to the fact that we have to manage a competition with 43 National teams divided into 3 groups and 12 leagues, was the commitment we made to the official OSM staff, to have a topic about the competition, that in addition to respecting all the common terms of use for this type of platform, which was dynamic and interesting. And with the enthusiasm that was growing, within the team, motivated by the feedback that we were receiving from the community, but particularly from the countries that had already committed to the project, we realized that we were doing something different, we were publishing content daily, that they had been originally thought, to be published every 2 days or every 3 days, which was normal, in the competitions in which we had participated or accompanied. It is necessary to say, that the model that we idealized for the production of contents, was only possible through the collaboration of all the National coaches and the coaches who represented their countries. Among other small setbacks, which were happening, such as on the eve of the qualifying group draw, we learned that 4 of the registered teams would not participate in the competition because they had not sent the line-ups, we were able to find solutions that were fair to everyone. This has always been our concern, and will continue to be in the projects that we will carry out in the future. Another problem, which ended up also having a detrimental effect on a group of nations, was the issue of time zones. We studied the various possible solutions, before presenting them, and although we tried to rebalance the disadvantage that some countries had, unfortunately it was a problem that we were unable to fully solve, because the simulations of the games, do not depend only on the time of creation of the leagues. Anyway, with more or less difficulty, the team always knew how to react, to spontaneous events, such as abandoning the leagues, and being proactive in planning the different scenarios that we would have to prepare.Q : What did you think of the experience of producing a tournament that had so much adherence?
I am very proud of this team that has been through a lot, and that fulfilled this dream of recovering the space of the National teams, creating a brand that is the symbol of the union of the OSM communities. I feel an enormous joy, for the affection and respect, that the community in general, and the National teams in particular, have shown for the work that we did, and for the unconditional support that they showed since the first time they got to know the project. I also feel an enormous confidence in the future, for the recognition and support given to us by the official structure of the OSM, expressed by @SpecialOne.Q : In your initial preliminary forecast were this 16 teams in the Nations Cup final?
Here I will answer, as a fellow countryman did: "Tips only at the end of the game!"
Jokes apart, this competition was designed, to be very competitive, and unpredictable. We knew that the regulations that were created, and the tournament format itself, would be conducive to "surprises" and we tried to ensure that all the teams that participated had equal opportunities to shine. And we are very pleased, for the emotion and unpredictability that the competition provided.
Thank you for the interview, and I want to end by thanking you from the bottom of my heart, to this fantastic team:
@FeelStrikeX
@Moltensky
@nelson6111
@WarriorFCP
@ruipsc5I may speak for all the current and previous members of NC Staff, thanking you for all the effort and dedication you've brought to this event! Without you, Paulo, Nations Cup would't be the way it is!
Before we go, join us in the Celebration of the first Nations Cup Champion, INDIA!
97th edition of Nations Diary is done! We're in the final countdown for this event's ending! See you tomorrow!
Thank you, stay safe and enjoy life!

We continue to work on a new project, which we hope to present to the community soon. And which may debut later this year, pay attention to the topic of the Nations Cup!
Today we will present, the interviews, with the magnificent winners of the individual awards, and get to know a little more about these fantastic coaches!
Most Valuable Player @davidaguila76 from Spain
!Unfortunately David was unavailable, so @Jojiste-2a answered the interview in his behalf.
Q : Congratulations for having the best Manager in the Nations Cup 2021 “Most Valuable Player” Award in your Team! What are your thoughts on the performance of davidaguila76?
A : The truth is that having a manager of this quality is impressive .. David is classified as one of the best managers in this game and in this tournament he has shown it ... We knew that having him was having more than 200 safe points or practically safe because the commitment, the dedication and the sacrifice that he puts on it is to be admired.
Q : What kind of support, as National Team Coach, do you give to your Team members for their squad planning during a OSM league? What is more important for you: the squad building or the tactical systems?
A : Regarding the first question, I understand that a coach or in this case a coach has to give everything even if he does not play in that league, all kinds of information and especially moral support when things go wrong and and when things go well celebrate With a head to this I mean that you have to always put your feet on the ground.
And the second OSM question has changed in my opinion ... before, I think value was more important, but now the tactical system is much more important.
Q : Regarding the latest updates in OSM, in particular the new players positions feature, and the random sales simulations timers, what do you think about them?
A : It seems like a good update because I think we depended a bit on being able to put players in a natural position ... but I think that certain things could still be improved because the positions they have given us are scarce or there are few players in some positions. And the direct sales system, well, I think it's fine, although sometimes it's a bit of a disadvantage. Before, you had to put up with an injured player for both good and bad and now you can sell it quickly.
Q : For future editions of Nations Cup, can you tell us what sort of improvements you would like to see implemented, in order to improve the Tournaments overall quality, and help it achieve the ultimate goal of being one of the reference competitions in the OSM National Teams universe?
A : It seemed to me a very complete system and format, especially with some great organizers ... It has practically no lack of detail ... possible aspects to improve, maybe another round, that is, a quarter-final and maybe the possibility of changing some more player so that the ones who play are not always the same ...Thank @Jojiste-2a for this great interview, on behalf of @davidaguila76
Goal Frenzy @MenagerBL from Serbia
!Q : Congratulations for being the best Manager in the Nations Cup 2021 “Goal Frenzy” Award! What are your thoughts on your performance?
A : Thanks! I’m happy with my performance. In the semi-finals I won the league and scored most goals in all the tournament. In the Final I finished 3rd...needed 1 more goal to end up 2nd. My opponents were closed in 21 match out of 30 matches. In 90% of the matches they used 541/532/5311/631 so even I’m suprised I managed to score most goals in the league. All in all, I think I played a solid tournament...
Q : What kind of tactical approaches are your favourite so you can achieve such high goal scoring levels with your teams?
A : I like attacking styles. At home I use 433 most of the time. Away I play different tactics and formations. To score a lot of goals you need to have some luck too of course...
Q : Regarding the latest updates in OSM, in particular the new players positions feature, and the random sales simulations timers, what do you think about them?
A : I don’t like the random transfer simulations at all. In the past I needed 10 mins per day for transfers. I come, do what I have to do in 1 min and I’m free for the next 2 hours. Then after 2 hours I spend 1 min again and so on...now it’s different...I had to turn on notifications to follow transfer simulations. Per day I get at least 5/6 messages, 5/6 invites for leagues, curently I’m playing 3 tournaments and people play 15 friendlies against me per day...other send me offers for players etc. I get 50 notifications per day and only few of them are about transfers. It’s very annoying! But it is what it is...
Players positions is a cool feature in my opinion, but some things need to be changed. There is a big lack of positions, I speak about LM & RM. These 2 positions are needed for 451/4231 and these 2 formations are probably most used formations in OSM, so I think that’s a big problem.
Q : For future editions of Nations Cup, can you tell us what sort of improvements you would like to see implemented, in order to improve the Tournaments overall quality, and help it achieve the ultimate goal of being one of the reference competitions in the OSM National Teams universe?
A : I wrote about that few times already. First, I would re-work the poinst calculation system. Think a lot more attention should be paid to team goals. In one of most popular tournaments, CCW, it’s all about team goals, if you are above or under goal. Here in NC team goals are completely irrelevant. Strange...
Also, I would remove secret trainings and allow friendly matches. And that’s it.
Thanks for the award and for the great organization!
Hope to see you next time!Thank you @MenagerBL for this fantastic interview!
Extreme Evolution @arteromero from Spain
!Q : Congratulations for being the best Manager in the Nations Cup 2021 “Extreme Evolution” Award! What are your thoughts on your performance?
A : It is always nice to win an individual award but I would have changed it to be higher with my team. Awards are always a recognition of good work and effort, which motivate you to continue improving.
Q : What is your approach when you are evolving your squads in OSM leagues?
A : Every league, every team, every goal requires a different approach. You have to be clear about which players in that short or long league are going to be better for you and if you can't get them because they are faster than me with the scout, you must have a plan B and C. Browse, be aware of sales hours , training, and being patient in buying and selling will always lead you to build a powerful team.
Q : Regarding the latest updates in OSM, in particular the new players positions feature, and the random sales simulations timers, what do you think about them?
A : I think that every time they make it more difficult. The truth is I don't see much difference when you put a player in his position than when you don't.
I don't like random sales since you have to be careful to buy from the first ones. Before you could organize yourself and have a routine to be attentive to all the more sales, now it is impossible.
In short, I don't like the last two updates.
Q : For future editions of Nations Cup, can you tell us what sort of improvements you would like to see implemented, in order to improve the Tournaments overall quality, and help it achieve the ultimate goal of being one of the reference competitions in the OSM National Teams universe?
A : The tournament has been very well organized, structured and fun. Maybe shorter leagues with more rounds for my liking. I would also not allow secret training, since the one who suffers 15 of them per league starts with a disadvantage, someone who only suffers 1 or 2. In short, a good tournament that I would repeat if they gave me another chance. Congratulations to all the organizers and to India for that great championshipThank you @arteromero for this brillant interview!
The Wall @palasgiales from Panama
!Q : Congratulations for being the best Manager in the Nations Cup 2021 “The Wall” Award! What are your thoughts on your performance?
A : First of all, I never thought that I would take this individual trophy with such a level in the tournament. He was somewhat frustrated by many draws then he began to win many important matches and I was even more motivated by those good results that he was obtaining in the tournament.
Q : What kind of tactical approaches are your favourite so you can achieve such defensive consistency with your teams?
A : Play very defensively and know what mentality to use depending on the color of the referee in each game.
Q : Regarding the latest updates in OSM, in particular the new players positions feature, and the random sales simulations timers, what do you think about them?
A : To be honest, I like that modality of the players' positions, it makes the game even more complex than it already is and it also makes the same game more attractive to continue playing. And with regard to random sales, I don't like it because there are times when one deals with work issues and others and because of that situation you can lose a sales shift and it can get complicated at the time of your assembly of your team . Some player can escape you for that random sale and it is the complicated thing and that is a very big detail that can cost you a lot.
Q : For future editions of Nations Cup, can you tell us what sort of improvements you would like to see implemented, in order to improve the Tournaments overall quality, and help it achieve the ultimate goal of being one of the reference competitions in the OSM National Teams universe?
A : The truth is, I would like there to be a greater participation of managers from each nation, instead of being 4, there are 6 or 7 so that others can also have an opportunity to participate. Also that more nations participate so that it is more competitive than it already is. That you get more individual trophies so that you get more motivated to achieve those goals. Sincerely, I am proud to obtain the title of "the wall" being Panamanian and making known that in Panama there is a good level and that we are growing to be one of the best nations in the OSM game. Thanks and regards.
Thanks you for the interview
Thank you @palasgiales for this enthusiastic interview!
️With coaches of this quality and availability, we are very lucky to see your performances! We take this opportunity to thank all the coaches, who were kind enough to access our interviews, and who thus also contributed to enrich the quality of the content we publish in this topic. Thank you all!
Tonight, in Nations Diary, we have a special guest, he is responsible for one of the most important communities, in the OSM universe, please give a warm welcome to @jorgebusty7 Community Manager from Spain
Q : Who is jorgebusty7 in the OSM as a manager? And what is the function / functions of a CM?
A : My account was created in 2012, so I have been playing OSM for many years. I discovered the forum at the end of the same year and since then I am addicted to OSM because "Crew World" and competitions. I joined the crew FURIA in 2014 (of which I am also the current moderator) and will continue until I stop playing. I have been part of the ES community management team for many years. My functions as CM are to organize the management team that I have in charge (ES Moderators/Staffs), contribute to the development of the ES Community, resolve user doubts, check cheat reports and receive user feedback and share it with GB, as well as sharing GB news with users.
Q : Do you agree with the competitive model used in Nations Cup? Which improvements, would you like see implemented? What is the importance / impact of a competition like the Nations Cup in your community?
A : First I wanted to congratulate the organizers of this first edition of the Nations Cup, you have done a stunning work. As of today, there are quite a few limitations for crew/nation competitions, so there aren't many ways to change the format. I think the number of nations that play the final can be reduced.ES Community is one of the most developed in terms of competitions, there are many that are organized each year and there are all formats. Competitions are a fundamental part of my community, it keeps users playing OSM over the years.
Q : Do you think, that Nations Cup, was well advertised in your community? If not, what can be done to accomplish it?
A : Sure, in the ES Community the nations are supervised by the management team, once all the necessary information about a competition is obtained and the approval is given, all the selectors are informed so that they can register.
Q : What can be done by the community, to increase the activity in the forum?
A : I think we cannot ignore the reality in which we live, where instant social networks have all the control of communication between people. The forums have lost relevance compared to 5 years ago, but they are still very active. To increase the activity of the forums, the best way is to give users the opportunity to play different competitions and events, but other ways are to propose discussion topics, ideas for improvement, feedback on new OSM features, interviews with managers/crews/nations... etc
Q : The National teams competitions, help the community in their devolpment? Why?
A : Of course, the nations are the creation of the users themselves in an attempt to expand the community and seek new opportunities to play and enjoy OSM. They contribute to the development and growth of the community, as well as to keep users playing.This is awesome! Having the best managers, the best National teams and the best CM of the game! Wonderful! Thank you @jorgebusty7 for this enligtning interview!
The 98th edition of Nations Diary is over! And the countdown for the 100th edition continues! Stay tuned, we have a big surprise awaiting!
And before you go, relax with India´s victory hymn!
Thank you, stay safe and enjoy life!

Stay tuned!
We returned to the interviews, with the members, of the staff of the Nations Cup, and today we are pleased to receive @Moltensky please give him a warm welcome!
Q : How did the idea of the Nations Cup started?
A : As far as I can tell, Nations Cup was a two friends dream come true: Paulo (Apocalipse4) and Joaquim (FeelStrikeX). I was contacted in a second phase, to help them out with the Competition logo, and with my knowledge of organising competitions. Since then I’ve been a member of the NC Staff, helping out with my graphic design skills and with some other tasks, such as posting The Nations Diary.
Q : What made you join the idea of producing a national team tournament?
A : Knowing the void created by the end of the “traditional battles”, something needed to be done to reactivate the OSM National Teams paradigm. These new format is quite interesting, and the enthusiasm of all the participants of this Nations Cup 2021 edition proves that.
Q : What was the biggest difficulty in organizing the Tournament?
A : The kick- off was quite difficult, as we needed to find out in a basis of trial / error how to have a Topic in the OSM Forum. But we’ve managed to find our way out of that labyrinth, with patience and dedication.
Q : During the tournament, what difficulties arose and what solutions were found to solve them?
A : The main issue was probably levelling the kind of content for the Nations Diary posts - finding the adequate kind of statistic info that we could work in a daily basis without overloading the staff.
Q : What did you think of the experience of producing a tournament that had so much adherence?
A : It was quite amazing, to be honest! It’s rewarding when the community likes the work one is doing to bring new competitions for the OSM panorama.
Q : In your initial preliminary forecast were this 16 teams in the Nations Cup final?
A : Some of them yes, others not. But that’s the beauty of this kind of competition - the uncertainty of the final outcome!Thank you so much Luis, not only for this internal view of the dynamics of the staff team of the Nations Cup, but also for all the dedication you employed from the first moment you embraced this project. And I will share, a little secret, your creativity is extraordinary, and it worked like a dynamo, in this daily relationship that we cultivate with the community!
To complete this cycle of interviews, with the staff of the Nations Cup staff, we receive @WarriorFCP please give him a warm welcome!
Q : How did the idea of the Nations Cup started?
A : I was not one of the founders of the Nations Cup. It was only later that I was invited by the organization to collaborate.
Q : What made you join the idea of producing a national team tournament?
A : The end of the old battles brought about a lack of major competitions for national teams. I found the Nations Cup an excellent idea to keep the OSM teams playing at a high level alive.
Q : What was the biggest difficulty in organizing the Tournament?
A : Have daily availability to update spreadsheets.
Q : During the tournament, what difficulties arose and what solutions were found to solve them?
A : The biggest difficulty was time management, since organizing the competition requires a few hours. The solution found was in strong planning.
Q : What did you think of the experience of producing a tournament that had so much adherence?
A : It was a very enriching experience, by far the most demanding one I have had to date organizing competitions in OSM, as it is necessary to work daily.
Q : In your initial preliminary forecast were this 16 teams in the Nations Cup final?
A : I can not hide that I was surprised by the route of some National teams, either positive or negative. The 16 teams that made it to the final did so with all merit.Thank you Francisco, you were tireless in supporting coverage for the collection of daily competition data, and always proactive when brainstorming, in our daily briefings. Every great team, needs a "box-to-box" you were ours!
And that´s it, the big day is coming, the 99th Nations Diary edition is finished. Tomorrow, we have the last surprise for you, in this Nations Cup 2021, and after this closing edition, we will take a break, of a few weeks, to return with a new project full of vitality, made to guarantee the future of National teams!
Chill out with India´s victory anthem!
Thank you, stay safe and enjoy life!

Wkróce rusza edycja U21 tego turnieju dla tych którzy rozegrali na najbardziej "eksploatowanym" slocie 150-700 spotkań. Mamy dużo takich menadżerów . Wystawimy mocną ekipę, od razu najmocniejszą jaką się da w eliminacjach
.@apocalips e4 said in Nations Cup - Explanation, FAQ, Rules and Discussion:
Hello my friends,
"Don´t give to anyone the power to put you down. Haters are losers pretending to be winners." - Paulo Coelho
Ladies and Gentlemen, as promised, in the 100th edition of Nations Diary, we present the surprise we have been working on for a few weeks : the Nations Cup Under 21!! 🤩
This is the time, for the "young" coaches, to shine in the world of competitions of National teams. After we realized, the idea of recovering the competitions for the main teams (A), the time has come to help National coaches, to take care of the future of their teams!
The competition will have a different format than the Nations Cup 2021, consisting of 2 phases: qualifying and Final. Unlike the Nations Cup 2021, we will have registrations limited to 24 National teams U21.
In the qualifying phase, we will have a Nation vs Nation system, which will comprise 3 rounds, in groups of 4 teams, distributed by leagues of 8 teams, as shown in the image below.
As you can see, on the left column, we have the different goals (G1 G3 G5 and G7), and then we have the distribution of each manager from each National team, between League 1, League 2, League 3 and League 4. For example, imagine that Portugal U21 is NT A, the G1 manager will play in League 1, the G3 will play in League 2, the G5 will play in League 3, and the G7 will play in League 4. So with this distribution, there will never be 2 coaches from the same team in the same league, and therefore the terms of the OSM are fully respected, with no "collusion games". And the definition of Nation vs. Nation can be observed, in the way the coaches of the same objective are grouped in the same league, and the teams of the same group, face each other, round after round, until everyone has faced each other. For example, Group A : NT A vs NT B in round 1, NT C vs NT D in round 1, NT A vs NT C in round 2, NT B vs NT D in round 2, and finally NT A vs NT D in round 3, NT B vs NT C in round 3.
The Final of Nations Cup U21, will have the same format of Nations Cup 2021, but with only 12 National teams, this means that that the top 2 in each group will qualify for the Final. So we will have 4 leagues of 12 teams.
Please note that this is only the pre-announcement of the competition, which serves to introduce you to the competition, and the basic requirements for National teams to participate. And so the National coaches, who want their National teams to participate in this competition, have time to prepare, and when the official announcement and authorization request for the creation of the official topic of the competition is made, here in the Crews forum, they can come to do their official registration. The first 24 National teams that register, by registration date, will be considered valid and certified, if there are surplus National teams, that is more than 24, a Play Off may happen or they will remain as reserves, in the case of any of the National teams that if they registered first, do not comply with the requirements or with all phases until the start of the competition.Brief summary of the main requirements of the Nations Cup U21:
»» All managers, in all lineups, must be from the nationality that they represent;
»» Every National team, must register at least 6 managers, and the maximum of 8 managers;
»» By Under 21 manager, it is determined that this manager may not have less than 150 games in any slot, and a maximum of 700 games in any slot, and that he has never represented the main team, in the last 2 competitions of National teams (Nations Cup 2021 and New World Cup );
»» Each National team will be allowed to call a maximum of 2 managers who do not comply with the U21 manager requirements, which can be used, only in the qualification phase;
»» There will be no limitation of managers of the same Crew, as long as they comply with the previous requirements;
»» All National teams will be drawn, for the different groups, and there will be a draw for the PM, being determined, that the same National team, may have to create a league, more than once, depending on the result of the draw;
»» For the Final, it is determined, that only the G1 of each National team, can be drawn for PM;For now we leave here a short summary of the penalties of Nations Cup U21 :
->> No Secret Trainings (ST) ;
->> No Trainings Camps (TC) ;
->> No instant sales ;
->> No sales between humans ;
->> No CPU offers ;
->> No sales of players for the exact or bellow market value ;
->> Friendlies allowed ;The expected schedule for the different stages of the Nations Cup U21 is as follows :
»» Between May 17th and May 23rd, request to open the official topic of the Nations Cup U21 ;
»» Between the 24th of May and the 2nd of June, registration phase of the National teams ;
»» Between the 3rd of June and the 12th of June, registration phase of lineups ;
»» On the 14th of June, the Nations Cup U21 begins ; Please note that these dates can be changed, due to unforeseen events.We hope that you enjoyed this proposal and that you participate in the Nations Cup U21! 🤩
And tonight, in Nations Diary, we have a special guest, someone who has been part of the community for many years, and who has a close relationship with all OSM communities, and who has played a key role in the success of the game over 17 years of existence, please give a warm welcome to @SpecialOne
Q : Who is the SpecialOne in the OSM as a manager? And what is the function / functions of the Admin?
A : As a manager I'm someone that plays the game just to have some fun. Trying out new features and stick with my crew league, where some of us play for almost 15 years!
All Gamebasics members have admin status on OSM, easier than create titles for every single position in the company. My specific position is Community manager within Gamebasics and among other tasks I'm responsible for ALL volunteer teams/support and social community management.
Q : Do you agree with the competitive model used in Nations Cup? Which improvements, would you like see implemented? What is the importance / impact of a competition like the Nations Cup in the game?
A : Community League was implemented with this model in mind already. So yeah, I agree with the model being used :D. I have to be honest and say I didn't looked at the calculations to determine who wins or loses. But I didn't saw a lot of negative reactions so I guess it should be used.
To be able to suggest improvements I would have to know a lot more about the competition and as you know my knowledge isn't that deep, so my evaluation of the event is based on the community reactions and when you don't see complaints, arguments, complaints ALL is super.
We don't measure impact of Nations Cup or any other competitions in the game, we measure the impact it has in the community, mainly on forum community. We organise (or provide support to) competitions with the main goal of improving forum activity, but not only with number of posts, otherwise we wouldn't set that many 'rules'/restrictions. Our goal is to create a place where users can feel welcome and find a nice environment where they can join fun topics to discuss OSM and have some banter with other managers.
Q : In relation to the National Teams - how is it possible to create an entity that regulates the question of the representation of the players in national teams, and what is the relevance that the national teams have in the current competitive logic of the OSM?
A : Humans are competitive by nature and not all do it the right way. We can see everyday lots of cases where rules were broken/bended for someone to beat others because they weren't able to do it the fair way.
Same thing happens in OSM. Adding rules, exceptions, entities to regulate those exceptions, etc etc... will just be a amjor headache to all involved, because the ones that are not able to win on the field will spend their time finding ways to win it at all costs. So, my suggestion will always be: allow everything we can't control, deny/allow all that we can control according with our goals and no exceptions at all. Black or white situations, no grey areas.
Q : What improvements would you like to see implemented for the universe of crews, either in the application or via the forum?
A : There're quite some things that I would like (as manager and as Community Manager) to see implemented/improved in OSM. But we've to face reality, OSM is a game but it's also a business that has expenses and in order to survive it has to have income. Crew world is a small part of OSM and if we go even more specific, hard core users the numbers are even smaller. This been said, we at gamebasics are aware of some needs from those users, but we also are aware of the business needs and OSM world has survived for 17 years already and that wasn't by accident. We've to manage priorities trying to keep the game interesting, actual and growing or at least maintain number of users, conquering new ones to replace the ones that left. I think that we've managed to do it quite ok until now, of course that some hard core users left the game, but it will never be possible to please all and mantain them all. But that's not what you asked
Improvements in the game: we've some items to be looked when possible like crew battles (make it possible to play friendly battles, when we say it like this it seems easy, but it's quite a project and requires a lot of work...)
Improvements on forum: This is something that depends on us all OSM users/hard core users/crew users. When we don't like anything we find time to go to forum, and make a ranting post and return five minutes later to write a new one and don't even care about answers... just say it's wrong for the sake of speak against everything. We can start by read things, ask to get clarified, make a fundamented opinion and then try to discuss ways to adapt or change. Work together for a better OSM. Something else we could do is being way more active on forums and not only when we don't agree with something to complaint!
Q : What initiatives do you take to encourage the use of the Forum, and how do you circumvent the multiplicity of alternative media that have been increasingly used by players, and what risks can this pose for the Forum?
A : It's not easy to bring users to forum. One way to do it is by creating these events/competitions and announce them on forums only. Some users 'cheat' this by advertising it on their whatsapp groups, FB groups, etc... our users that complaint that forum is dead are the worst enemies of the forums. I tried once to make some contests where users had to find something on forums to win boss coins. I found out that those that claimed prizes didn't even had forum accounts, but they belonged to crew of one active member on forum
If we want good forums, we should advertise them to our colleagues, not pass the info to them!
About other social media, they are all different, so we can join them all and depending on our needs, we should go to the one that fits it the best!
Q : Do you think, that it's important, to have an organized competition calendar, to avoid common dates between competitions? Why?
A : A calendar is only important for those that want to take part on all events. This is also something we shoudl learn to limit ourselves. If it's always same managers taking part on all events, no new ones will join and our community won't grow. It will eventualy die, because some leave and no new ones join!
So Calendar.... nop. Just keep an eye on forums daily and if something new posp and you've a free account, then sign up!
Q : In the last months, have we witnessed, a proliferation of unofficial competitions, this activity of the users, helps the OSM to develop? Why?
A : Already mentioned above that there's a difference between OSM and community. These competitions help community to develop when things are organized with some quality and are able to gather users together and when you go to forum for your competition, you also check and join other topics. This is why having a small and organized forum can help increasing this activity. Spamming just leads to people to ignore all other topics instead of wasting time for a couple of spam topics/posts.Sorry for going off topic so many times
I would like to thank all Nations Cup organisation team once more for all the work you guys had with this topic. When I first allowed this topic I had quite some doubts if I this would be a good idea. You guys just made me quite happy for making the call. You did an awesome work and while I didn't followed every single post, it was always an interest reading and the way you managed everything was really TOP.
See you guys on next edition and/or project!On behalf of the Nations Cup staff, I want to thank you for all the support we received and for the words of encouragement. This is the path we have taken until we reach the conclusion of the Nations Cup, and in addition to unconditional support of the National teams, none of this would have been possible without your support, and I would also like to take this opportunity to thank @King_Jamiu_10 that also had supported our iniciative, before this official topic was approved. Once again, thank you @SpecialOne for this fantastic interview, and for believing in the project and in this team.
And so we come to the end of this first edition of the Nations Cup. We hope you had fun competing, in the same way that we feel rewarded for your support, and for keeping the National teams competition space alive. We are counting on you to continue building the future of OSM together!
You are in our hearts! Before you go, let´s congratulate the first Nations Cup winners!
Thank you, stay safe and enjoy life!
