Feel free to bring one then. :pac:

Imo monthly is fine (funny how everyone in Dublin is saying monthly and everyone outside is saying once every two months eh), I'm all for the idea of running a bigger event every quarter or so as well.

I can't exactly drag one along on the bus but thanks for the suggestion !

Also Dan brought a half dozen monitors on the red line Luas by himself.

That's practically an extreme sport!

Green Line, he's a yuppie.

Probably had rugger buggers helping him.

monthly is fine inferno to me is not about being special (not in the same case that "oh my gawd its evo") but more about uniting a bunch of pals who happen to live all over the land, leveling up, smashing the **** out of each other virtually then eating food and having a jolly old time

see y'all in june HOLLA

Keep it monthly, if anyones worried about their Top 16 spot, seedings arent hugely important.

I have no problem with Infernos being held monthly, even though I can't really make most of them. ( Then again, there will probably be more tournies in Cork next year, so maybe I should be focusing on improving those. )

I also fully support the idea of a big yearly event as well but it would need a lot of planning over a peroid of at least 3 - 4 months beforehand ( it would also prevent horror stories like what I heard went down at SvB. ) It should also be a weekend long event with various games being played ( ie, SSFIV / AE, MvC3, Tekken, MK9, etc ) and space for casuals.

It would also be nice if we could get at least one of the sponsored teams from America over, as well as some of the top European talent, would make it look more impressive. Also, one other critcal aspect, STREAMING. Even if its only the top 8 of each game, its better than nothing. ( Again, I'm looking at you, SvB )

And the Doom Cam, the event wouldn't be complete without it!

Just my two cents.

Aiming a little high aren't we?

But that would be awesome

I think it would be easier for everyone involved if it was moved to Carlow.

And it should be just Ry and farz hurling abuse on the vids.

where abouts are you in carlow? I'm down there most of the time.

Re: Inferno the way things stand it needs to be monthly.

If there was a league or something, then it could maybe run Quaterly but without anything else it's the backbone of our community.

Oh cool, I'm actually just really really bad, instead of "worst scrub-level bad".

For me personally, monthly has hurt the standard of Inferno. There's not the same sense of occasion and that's reflected in the numbers.

If it was every two months I'd go out of my way to make each one and I think it'd restore a bit of meaning to each event.

Pretty much how I feel about it as well.

Being bi-monthly would give it that sense of occasion again. On the months in between something that's a bit more for the craic than anything else like a SSF4 3v3/2v2, a 3rd Strike/HDR tourney, rent out a bar and have a flat out liquorin' session with a bit of SF casuals/money matches or something. Chop and change to keep it fun but have Infernos every 2nd month so everyone knows when it's time for sh1t to get serious.

The way it is now nobody really gives a fluck, there's no sense of competition.

There is luck in every sport/past-time.



Its funny though, the more I practice, the luckier I get.

Doctor DooM

As far as I am concerned, Dublin needs a regular monthly tournament.

If we want to call every second or third one super mega inferno deluxe or something, so be it.

Owwmykneecap

You could have seasons of bi weekly dublin (and surrounding couties/east coast) league sessions. lasting 4-6 iterations (8-12 weeks) and a quarterly National tournament or something along those lines.

You couldn't just go from monthly to bi monthly (or longer) tournaments and have only casuals to fill the gap. It would be bad for the scene.

I like a monthly Inferno.


Also We should talk about having a a yearly event, one we could invite others over to, and where we could expect a very high percentage of players in Ireland to attend.

Noob question. What are seedings?

Basically they're points allocated based on your finishes in the last 3 Infernos.

This is supposed to keep an even spread of the top players between groups so none are too horrible but they're also great for generating hype.

For example, you may currently refer to me as "No 3" or "better than Azza"

prenelf

lol thanks "better then Azza".
