    Yea I agree single elim bo1 is kinda harsh :X


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 945 ✭✭✭gearoidof


    time implications: each map takes 30 minutes.

    If you have 2^5 players and bo3 each round, that means you have a worst case of 30mins*5rounds*3maps = 7.5 hours.

    derp.

    Also, put down "xir" for one of the remaining slots, if there's a remaining slot, royal. He's a mate who couldn't figure out how to post here...

    any chance of getting the tournament fixtures posted up??? :-)
    also is it possible for the 2v2 teams to be arranged by the people, i just think it would be cool of people could team up with their usual team mates if theyre coming too (ie: me and prometheus have nearly 1000 2v2s played together, ranked 200th in the world, so it'd be pretty awesome if we could take you noobs on on the night :p )

    also ffa's kind of suck (turtle tech wars) , maby another 1v1 tournament, or make it bo3?

    What are the mice like there? Having a good mouse is vital to mid-silver players like myself.

    Put me down for the time being but I might have to work that night, I'll let you know either way. Also in the FFA, how do you determine who comes second? Last man standing? By final game scores?

    done. your now on the list grime. in the FFA, it will be the last 2 players in the game.

    I'm gonna bring my laptop. FFA tourney sounds like it should be good craic. Could have an off-race fun tourney if there's time too, if people are interested.

    we could do random for the FFA tourney if people agree to it.

    I dont like the sound of bo1s.

    And I'll be bringing my own laptop, just in case if I dont like PCs.

    ok, no problem on the laptop. As for the best of 1, its time limited im afraid. these games can last a long time if people turtle up (which they are more than welcome to do) so its not going to work if its bo3.

    i am finalising the tourney tree at the moment.

    as for the 2v2 it will not be possible to pick your own team mate. this makes it unfair on everyone as we have a wide range of talent levels coming.
    2 diamond/master league players teaming up would not be fair on the lower level players.
    however, 1 master league getting paired with say a silver makes a more fair team.

    it will be staying random.

    royal marine, still picking me up with medvac? :D

    yes. i will be picking you and chicks up in cork bus station friday afternoon. I will confirm times probably more towards wednesday evening. but you can be 100% assured i will be there.

    bring your own if you have any doubts :)

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 112 ✭✭F69Baal


    cool stuff,

    FFA and random 2v2 sounds like good craic indeed,

    I ll be bringing my mouse and (french AZERTY-style) keyboard (i ve never seen a USB headset though, could you reconfirm that?) but they need a software to run (razer stuff...) so should i come a bit earlier to install it?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,844 ✭✭✭Arciphel


    Is it ok for people to come along and spectate? Is there going to be a big screen up or anything - or an Irish version of day9 commentating? :-)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 492 ✭✭UnholyGregor


    my suggestion: get rid of the ffa tournament and make the 1v1's bo3
    i mean, bo1 makes it very unreliable, any lucky cheese can knock out the best player in the tournamemt. bo3 is like insurance, the best player nearly always wins

    Besides, 12 hours is planty of time for a bo3

    ^^ logitech g35 USB headset. :) most modern headsets are USB, and yeah they do require software. so if you have a USB headset, bring the installation disk if possible.

    Not too sure about spectators really. were booking the place and its being charged on the numbers of people who turn up. the manager might not approve.

    Honestly a lot of people are interested in the 2v2 and FFA tournaments because this lan is for fun, not for a 1v1 tournament.

    If the best player in the tournament cant counter cheese, then they're not the best player in the tournament ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,812 ✭✭✭IRL_Sinister


    Don't even think of removing the FFA lol. Looking forward to that majorly :P

    Razer hardware doesn't require software to be pre-installed. I just recently got my Razer Manga and I just plugged it straight in. Nothing extra needed.

    If there is still room count me in if not just let me know if anyone places become available

    Yeah I know what you mean, but anybody can loose to a cheese once off, and I'm just paranoid that if go 15 hatch, some bronze leager will proxy 2 gate me :p

    And yeah your right about the team games, but I just dont really think ffa's are a good idea, as you were talking about time restrictions, FFA's are the longest and most turtle orientated games of all :confused:

    I agree Bo1 and Single Elim is pretty unorthodox. Any chance of the map list?

    thought some people might like a quite glance at what the tournament structure will look like.

    made this for ye.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 38 CluEleSs!?


    Will the finals/semi-finals be more than a BO1? Maybe BO3 in semis, BO5 in finals? Oh, and as for the live casting, I'll gladly volunteer to do the finals ;) haha
