Are the Creative Assembly any good in Multiplayer?

I hope the creators are masters at their total war games and I hope they play against people online much to test their work, look for bug issues , new units to make for $, and to test their skills

I wonder if they would challenge us....

They would stand no chance

i know for a fact that they do. i have played them a few times and once in the early days of empire i had a cracking game aganst one of the CA guys. i beat him but at the end of the game he messaged me even though he wasnt on my friends list and i saw evidence that he worked for them.
i also think they have deliberately sabotaged HUNTSMAN rush style of playing on the flat just to piss us off by giving troops the stamina of a mcdonalds eating, beer swilling obese couch potato lol...

i should think that there are a few pretty elite players from CA, especially the ones from the days of RTW and Shogun

We met two clanguys, the clanname was "CA".^^ We beat them heavily and one did, well lets say, a "early quite" without saying anything. I ask the one who left, what does CA mean, he responded "Counter Attack"... all my hopes were gone.

Seriously, i think if they play at all, just a very few should be very good. I mean its their work, they see it partly all day long and are surely happy when the worktime is over just like everyone else. On the other hand, i hope a few freaks are among them...

I think that we would easily win Point_Man.
