This is was the idea behind those competitions. But logistics and funding are the biggest factor that make it hard for it actually happen.
International teams would need about a year in advance notice to book flights at a reasonable cost.
Teams would need extra funding for hotels and such.
First and foremost congrats on everything all of you guys have done.
I still think Fever 4 is FCB's best and most entertaining set to date. Fever 4 and even before then I was always blown away by the sets and mixes.
But after Fever 4, like Karn said, the sets dont left a real impression...
So after a while I finally got around to remaking soundcloud (SC didnt like my shenanigans and deleted my old account). Going to reupload all my older mixes.

Congrats on the teams first competition!
Just a quick critique (if you want more in depth i can PM you): Energy was dropping. Facial expression werent the greatest (from the first video i saw). Leg extensions were lacking.
The green jodi (that started out on the right) was the most...
Saturation, distortion, and EQing mostly.
When I need to make something sound crispy and stand out. I usually throw on an EQ to take out what I dont need, followed by a Soundtoys Decapitator, and then reverb/echo.
Really just depends on the audio sample and what you want the final outcome...
I'm one of those people. I dont spend hours on end googling and sampling things to be shared publicly. I usually will share with a trust group or someone I know. But 90% of my stuff I wont share publicly unless I'm done using them or have no use to me.
Am I the only noticing for the past few years all the team mixes, except for maybe 1 or 2 mixers, sound all the same?
Its literally same old hiphop instrumentals. Same old sweeps. Same old effects. Oh lets not forget TRAP TRAP TRAP TRAP TRAP and TRAP.
For each pont:
1) everyone focus on that one little sick thing and forgets about entire set.
2) everyone forgets everything good about the set and focuses on that one little stupid thing.
3) look at #2
Easier said than done. People rather not waste their times trying to critique and...
Look into M/S eqing as well. You'll notice majority of vocals are center.
Reverb and distortion canl also help mask some of instruments (be very careful about using it though, it can make it sound messy).
