In another thread there was some chatter about the difficulty of balancing teams, how some people like to play roles, etc.

Also I have wondered what ZK would be like with actual large team-scale coordination instead of lanes, tunnel-vision and chaos.

Anyone want to organize team games ~5 to 8 players with manual balance, and the idea to stick with it for a few rounds, so people can find/get roles and settle in, work as a team? Might want to appoint a couple of team captains who then choose in turn what players to take from those that show up.

I'm not going to do much organization, but I could show up and provide robots for the front line.

I think a coordinated 3v3 would work? That is small enough for people yet can be somewhat big-team? I would enjoy such a game.

A series of 3v3!

Or larger.

in 3v3 players - the front is so important that players might be better off to multi-role (excluding maybe air)

3v3 is good. Manual balance is not.

I was thinking manual balance for the purpose of playing a few rounds with two teams that everyone agreed to stick to for those rounds. A bit of a tournament flavor, but with larger teams that are intended to be reasonably fair.
