So generally the difference is that you wouldn't need a clan to play in tournament anymore - did i get it right?

I have to answer yes and no to that. If you have read the post of Queen Bee "Click here to read again" the developers are working on something until new year.

Because nothing big will be organized until then, Panzar Studio EU community manager Queen Bee is offering a way to enter the tournament even if you are not in a clan.

And this will only be maid possible if the community wants this.

If you send in a team and all members have accepted the invite the team will be entered in tournament and if you look at the participants list you will see something like this - Clan : "Panzar Tournament" and Team : "Krom's First Legion" - After Tournament everything will be set to normal and the process will be repeated for next tournament.

This is what Panzar wants to accomplish:
1) Every player that want to play in tournament and meets the requirements of the tournament should be able to play.
2) If you prove yourself in tournament you should have a better change of joining a Clan even if you do not have the Clans requirements yet.
3) If more players and teams are in tournament it will be more challenging and interesting for everyone.
4) If you are well organized you also have a change to get the price crystals that everyone wants, again if you spend them wisely you changes of getting into a clan or even start you own clan increase.

Panzar Studio is asking if the community want this before it is done. At this moment it is only an idea not a reality and is not intended to be permanent.

First of all I want to say that Actaroth is completely right. You guys think that tournament players instantly won their first tournament or already had everything they want to? No. Good players can notice your skill in public games and talk to you after about joining their clan. You don't need to have full gear, amulets or runes to show that you have skill. Ofcourse, if you will play seriously in tournaments you will need it, because all others have them too. But atleast you have a good chance for winning crystals if u have the required items and skills.

A few things how we can see you have skill :

Pushing freezing frost mage into other enemies
Using your interrupt spells when needed (sucker punch, shield bash,hook..)
Your act of combat: For example, if you are a berserker you simply don't right click on cooldown versus a tank.. Tank have 95% block chance, and can easily right click/shield bash after your rightclick, which ends up dealing way more damage than you.

There are many other things, but these things you will only learn when you have experience. And you might want to play more than one class to level 20, to understand every class better.

And secondly: White wolfs, I appreciate the panzar staff is doing something where his community has asked for, but if they don't get invited by a clan, and you put 10 random/chosen people into a tournament they will most likely fail and have no fun playing. Panzar is a teamgame, and even if there is one really good player, you will not really notice it because that one player will get countered by a whole team. But it's their choice and they will probably notice it themself.
