Very questionable decision, UGC is still alive for people that want to play HL all year and even the European side there has most teams for it despite majority of the teams saying that it's a joke only to still bother to take part in it.
UGC 6v6 will not be the substitute to the vacancy for ETF2L 6v6 though, but UGC HL can be, and is already, for ETF2L HL.
Making the Nations Cup still happen is a good thing though, but less than 5% of the players can even take part in it. Make a 6v6 event where 100% of the players can take part in.
