How many referee cocks did she suck to get that win?

What was wrong with the shield?

BOTN is a nutshell

>russian vs ukraine
this gun be gud

strap broke i think

"broken" shield a.k.a one of the straps came off

so when are we going to see this cunt?

post other french qt
i know you have her

epic meme man kill yourself

Choke her the fuck out

> this is a qt in france
disgusting

say that to my face i fucking dare you

shes cute you jelly blob, fuck off

who's that?

HOWDY

Is this considered defeat?

I would have sex with her if you know what i mean ;^)

For anglos, it's a 11/10 yea

She's a 6,5

how cute trying to be edgy to impress his Sup Forums friends

Don't respond to me until you have a team that can beat ours

I'll shank your nan for a quid

charlemagne was germanic !1!1!
frogs out

still cute despite making a face and no makeup

Fighters should concede if their gear breaks

when you've blown the refs? yes.

also falling down and getting back up is acceptable when you've done this too.

first one is way better still

how cute posting a 5 year old meme to impress your Sup Forums friends who get the reference

Don't forget we have the announcer, he'll rig you to fight Finland right before us.

>A Rus on the loose

>one man is france is not getting his food prepared

shamefull desu

how can they fix the wallfucking problem

I'm not the one who posted the meme lol take a chill pill Nigel =/

Replace walls with ropes

>British strats

Disallow fence grabbing.

>replaces the wall with angry lions

only one arm allowed
just weight down on your opponent until they fall
it would be better if it they fought in a pit since having a wall at you back means you can't swing as effectively and you can't really help yourself up too much

I have to admit those two things in a row were pretty weird

Ukraine has perfected British tactics

Easy, spikes on the wall.

cheap tbqpfhwymf

Bash them in the spine with an axe, works great.

>qts in armor hug-wresting

:3

> fourth round

Pls stop

>"you came to the wrong beauty salon"

is this the death of battle of the nations? if every team does this next year I'll stop watching

>A single team does it and it works to their favour
Paranoid?

make them really smooth and slippery

Don't worry, I'll be there at June.
If anyone hugs the wall, he gets a zweihander at full swing.

> "are you of serious, knave?"

line in the sand, cross the line, be eliminated

we sumo nao

It's typical for woman

Well this is boring... where the poleaxes at? That should fix the wallhugging :3

Here come dat boi

2 teams have done it in the last 2 hours and they were both against Russia. Russia fights used to be fun to watch at least and this would be some bullshit

hype

oh shit

I don't remember who the brits fought, but that was over pretty fast.

>Ukraine won
fucking bullshit

FUUUUUCK
RUSSSSIAAAA

SLAVA UKRAINA

UKRAINE STRONK

Just finished gathering a team desu.
Hope they like boar snout.

Putin on suicide watch

Can you even gather a team?

>2 wins by time
Fencehuggers won

How did the Russians not win that? T_T The Ukrainians were fucking immobile

>this helmet that's clearly designed to keep the hair from being cut

Btw has anyone managed to beat Russia 1 yet?

Oh shit looks like I just missed a final?

How was it? Is it worth going back for? I thought all the finals were tomorrow ffs

do they allow the zweihander? shit would be so cash

there is no way you found 4 guys in 2 days for this

Not worth going back for, was a wallhug fest that the Ukrainians won on time.

That was woman's final

women's final

pretty boring; clearly rigged.

Yup. I signed in and sent photos, they confirmed.
I think it's gonna be first from Azerbaijan.
Yes, but dulled and lightweight. Still good for swinging and hitting legs.

Nah, it was pretty anticlimatical ending. 3v3 womens.

And the Ukes used dirt cheap tactics. The Russians were clearly superior and didn't resort to fencehugging.

Shit tier win 2bh

there's all sort of long weapons
zweihander is way too cumbersome to be use effectively at close range so nobody uses it
it was designed to work against cavalry irc

They just hanged on the wall until time ran out.

Former squadmates.
Been hell long since we trained together.

Are you a fighter? I didn't know there was one in June.

Zweihander is a mostly ceremonial style of sword, and completely impractical for actual combat - ridiculously heavy, ridiculously slow, ridiculously easy to catch and redirect the blade. Spiked longswords are workable weapons though.

>rigged
No, it was just shit and the referee didn't know what to do since they didn't know what was even happening like all of us.

Got all the equipment ready?

The wall hugging is something that really bothers me
The ring should be more like a boxing ring
Also I've always been disappointed that there's pretty much no teams outside of Europe and a few other western countries.
I really want to see a team from South Africa or Botswana, just because I imagine them as having really cool outfits based on their flags

>men finals
>ukraine 123 vs Russia 123
>women final
>Ukraine vs Russia

That's so awesome. There's 2 guys on the finn team that post here you guys should meet and be awkward

She can hang on my pole/10

you should put something on your outfit that lets us know which one is you

I am aware they are shit, but it's good for the flashiness factor

> ukranian women are the prettiest and strongest

is this womn all vs all?

>The wall hugging is something that really bothers me
>The ring should be more like a boxing ring
Tbh the problem is more that teams aren't fit enough

When brits attempted the same tactic against Russia they got BTFO

See

First day watching? there's mexico, chile, and argentina. Remember it's really expensive for teams to get there from overseas that's why the crowd tends to support the far away countries

A head of armenian on a stake, I think. With a raven beaking the eye, lmao.
Well, I just signed to two days ago. Next one is in Ukraine, at June.
Zweihander and full Maximillian. We think of one partisan, one axe and two more morningstars for a team.
We gonna print a howling wolf on our backs.

Womyn all vs all coming up.
