- and 99% of the time scrimmages are meaningless
they truely aren't, they are very meaningfull, but just in ways of training. Indeed the scrimmage will often be used to try to make the best of the minutes for the team's players. Not to try to win the game.
So I understand your point, it's just a little to generally expressed.
The best way for a strong community there is right now is the forums. It doesn't matter which country you are from, in global everyone can join in and become part of the worldwide community.
But not everyone likes forums...
On the other hand, by just playing games against other countries teams, whitout using forums or other conversation, there will be no sence of community either...
But ok, the idea on it's own is very good. If not for community, then for the funfactor.
They are not your friends; they dispise you. I am the only one you can count on. Trust me.
