eR33t won the tourney. Congrats.
And thank you to Nub, Bix and Olbaid for the help getting things lined up for the tournament.
I will be gone this Sunday night. I need someone who does NOT have a team in the tourney to set up brackets and settle any disputes by watching demos.
Here are the details:
IRC Channel: #sundayshowdown
- Each team must have at least one representative in the irc channel by start of game.
- USA servers only.
- first 8 teams to sign up can participate.
- 3 vs 3, teams of up to 5, subs allowed during the match.
- deadline for signing up teams and for finalizing rosters for each team is Sunday at 6:00 PM Eastern time.
- demos need only be provided if there is a dispute or suspicion of hacking. In either of those cases they will go to the judge who will settle the dispute. There will be no in-game referees, so try to work out your own issues.
- The judge will determine the brackets.
- There is only ONE map total for the showdown each week. Each match consists of two teams playing on that one map for ONE game. The map for this Sunday is yet to be determined.
- The tournament is single elimination.
- The tournament will be held from 7-9 Eastern.
- If teams want to have their friends spec them just to watch that is fine. No talking if you are an observer.
-If there are any disputes over which team gets which color the team that signed up first in the tournament will get their choice of color.
- Prizes--no prizes, though if the project takes off I will list all previous winners in the next thread for a little reputation boost.
Previous winners:
March 15, Propaint 1, 3iob defeats SQ in finals.
March 22, Sphouse, 3iob defeats eR33t in finals.
Discuss map options. Right now I am thinking of
ccc
sandassult
pbcup sandassault
pbcup pforest
Propaint2
-
I personally believe pbcup_pforest is slightly over played currently. Pbcup_renoir might be a really good choice since it really isn't seen in the American clan scene. The map involves speed, teamwork, and skill. Two flags also seems to involve a lot more teamwork and skill.
PS to m7. I could definitely help organize and get the tourney going although i'll most likely be playing (3iob).
-
Save ccc for when you do a week of 4v4 or 5v5. Out of those choices I would pick sandassault.
-
I'd go with propaint2.
-
Not this sunday but next theres another tourney that people signed up for whats you doing?
-
no routez? lame
-
College
Court
Castles

I can't believe i'm saying this but i agree with bix on pbcup_pforest. We should bring back the OLD maps and when i mean old i mean like HellSurvivor, cfire, cancan and lots more.
-
We should bring back the OLD maps
+1
-
Midnight!
-
Navy...if you knew anything about the relatively 'old' days you would know that no one wants to play cfire or cancan. Midnight is actually a pretty sick map, although it is easily camped. I still am going to stick with pbcup_renoir since it isn't played much, if at all, in the American match scene (which this tourney is).

I thought starz and farmstarz had it as a map for a while that they played?
It seems that no clear consensus is forming on the map, which is actually a good thing, as it means that they are all pretty viable.
But I have gotten a LOT of requests for pforest over the last three weeks in-game and in IRC. So for now I will give in to popular demand.
----------
A couple of people offered help on the tourney and I would like to take them up on the offer.
Bix offered in the forum and Olbaid by IRC. (er I am 90 percent sure it was Olbaid, meant to write it down when I headed out to work this morning but did not do so).
I could really use the help getting people into the servers and coordinating the reservation of them.
I will try to find one person who's team is not playing who I think can make any calls on demos and form the actual brackets.
But you two could definitely help with the communications role in vent and irc.
-
pp2 or ccc
-
I decided on Pbcup Pforest, simply because a lot of folks asked for it the last three weeks.
Next week we can go obscure again. Some folks objected to sphouse, but I think it worked well. But I also want to give folks the chance to play maps they really like that are currently played as well.
-
Disappointed, very. Why should we play a map we play nearly every match?

The very fact that you play it every match means someone likes it.
Sorry, but I got a lot of requests for it. And if folks enjoy it I will use it.
-
Calm down bixie. Not like it's the last one.
-
Super was rather happy about the announcement :)
If anyone knows a person who is:
a. not on a team that will be playing
b. is credible
c. is fair
d. can set up brackets
e. can make decisions on demos
f. that can be there Sunday
Please let me know.

I can see why pbcup_pforest is a good pick since almost every clan will agree to it as a tie map.
However I like the idea of playing old maps that don't get played very often
-
I will not be playing this week due to map I'm just terrible there lol but I will help out m7

You have all week to practice. That is part of the fun.
-
No one wants to practice a map they'll play 5 times a week anyways. Why you chose pbcup_pforest, I do not know.
-
Team 3 inches of Blood Roster:
Superman
dystro
Reaver
TiNi
Also leaving a spot open to bix, if he decides to play.
Good luck to everyone in the tourney. I must say that pbcup_pforest is good map to play. I agree that some older maps should be played, but not the boring 1 way path ones. I hope propaint 2 is eventually played and pbcup_renior. I would also like to mention Tatres and Wobluda or however you spell it for a future map choice.
-
Tatres
Tatras, and yes its an awesome map.
-
ill get me a team together if its not to late if its not reserve me a team
-
Not too late at all.

This team scares me I think s0ul0 will carry them and they will destroy 3iob and er33t.

All they would need is nick123's ban to end then they would be invincible.
-
Bix i think you guys should back off this sunday showdown..too intense :P
-

I think i just pissed my self laughing.
-
Pbcup_pforest is a good map, but the only bad thing is that there are modified versions of this map floating around. I thought it was a good idea doing maps that are not normally played recently, such as sphouse, and think we should stay on that track.

tell jitspoe So i can carry me team ^^
-
Probably thinks I am serious...
-
Since Snipen announced the GT servers going offline soon we will just have to see if they are up Sunday.
-
Got some good news / bad news on the server situation.
Henrod will have a TON of servers up (16 slots) soon...strong stable servers.
Bad news...they are located in San Diego. I'll ping in the twenties but most east coast people will be near 100, or over.
-
Nick123 is probably buying 3 servers hosted in Toronto.

Buying servers for a game he is banned from...clan hopping while banned...tsk tsk.
I cannot wait till someone who hacks turns Nick123 in for distributing.
-
Bix
Superman
Dystro
Reaver
Gold
These roster changes were sent by pm for some reason.
-
Bix and Olbaid, please confirm that you two are going to help get folks into servers this weekend at tourney time and coordinate things for me. I am still planning on getting one person to make brackets and judge if necessary.
-
I can make brackets if needed.
-
Nub has agreed to make brackets and assist with demos.
The brackets should be up by around 6:45 pm Eastern.
-
Aww :[

This tourney was full of surprises.
We started out with a slim line up as some of the teams were intimidated by the map or just didn't sign up.
Then 3iob was eliminated in the first round. They struggled a bit early but I figured they would bring the comeback like last week's final.
But in the end IJ looked like Buster Douglas putting together the perfect night against Mike Tyson. If the vent dialogue and irc pm reports are to be believed IJ was as surprised as the rest of us at their win.
eR33t meanwhile had a pretty dominating performance against Mili. There was some controversy in vent over a possible cap while the player was idle. Initially it was suggested that Nub review the demos. But Nub dismissed that by stating that it didn't impact the match significantly.
The finals started out pretty tight but eR33t pulled away toward the end. The vent crowd was impressed by Olbaid's last round stand against two IJ members. He was trapped in the mid with both IJ players having one flag. He explained later that he forced them off the dry route assuring he could catch up if needed. He caught up to the first, finished him off then beat the second to the flag where he shot him out of the air, ending IJ's last ditch attempt.
Congrats to eR33t on winning the third Sunday Showdown.

It was a fun match :D
