QeHs 3v3 Cup #4

[idias]

#4 q 3v3 cup!

Date: 01.11.2009
Time: 17CET (germany time, czech time) (11am Eastern time)
Format: Double elimination, best of one (including the final)
Maplist: To be decided (what i am looking for: good looking maps with enough pace. NO *mad* SPEEDJUMPS!)
Settings: Common match settings.
Servers: Hopefully OTB and Kyuuchi are willing to help once again (that is euro servers)
Signups: maximum 8 teams. Please post here or PM somebody from q in irc.

Please, please. If you do not know what double elimination or best of 1 means, ask BEFORE the tournament...

I am hoping that jehar from tastycast can stream this tournament (with live commentary) so please suggest some good looking maps with good teamplay .

What I was thinking: shazam22, propiant1/propaint2, pbcup_2fort5, etc. Please do not suggest maps what I love to call "maps built with too many brushes". Good example of such map is tatras. Jopezz shoudlve just added the ice way. 10% of the map is useful, 90% useless. This is not welcomed ).
New maps also welcomed (no beta maps tho). If suggesting a map, please try to find some reasons why this map should be played (why it is fun to play, why it is fun to watch other people playing that map).
Four our previous 3 tournys, we tried to use all new maplist for every tournament, this time it is not important.

Approximate time schedule:
16:00 - start joining #team_qehs , team captain will be invited to private admin/captain channel. Information (servers) will be given in that channel.
16:45 - If you haven't confirmed your participation by now, we try to find a replacement team. Confirm your participation by joining #team_qehs and say that you are here to shoot other people with paint.
17:00 – First 4 matches – Round 1!
17:40 - Winner bracket round 2, loser bracket round 1.
18:15 - Loser bracket round 2
18:50 - Winner bracket round 3 (final game in WB), loser bracket round 3
19:20 - Loser bracket round 4 (final game in LB)
19:50 - Grand final.

Note that there has been a slight change in time schedule. WB final is now played 1 match later than it used to be. This is because it is easier to admin less matches at the same time and also now the WB winner does not have to wait ~1 hour in a row until they can play grand final. They wait ~30min, play, wait ~30min. I think this is better.

I hope sunday fits everybody better and we will have 8 signups without any problems <:-}.


I (blaa) love idias, and hes a far greater thread maker than Magalhaes.

[Kyuuchi]

I'm sorry, but I've purchased an American VPS now, and cannot support your EU servers... :/

I'm sure LAWL/OTB/Arctic are willing to help though.

[MyeRs]

Vitalfusion.

Possible maps:

Mystique: has 3 seperate paths but it reall open. 2 flags placed where its difficult to camp aswell as a 1point midflag.
Pbcup_renoir: Everyone knows this, no need for explanation.
Carpathian: Everyone knows this, no need for explanation.
g2: Still in beta, but maybe we can force rimini to give it a final release before this starts
Hellsurvivors: Never really got played in your last tournament. I wanted to play it :/

Maps:

+SPHouse
+crimethink -> best 3on3 map so far
+cvalley
+castle1
+pp3_beta3 (b3>>>>>>>b4)

+3v3tourny

[XtremeBain]

moonlit2r1 or pbcup_sassault because of their low visibility awesomeness

or something crazy... like a roundup .ent with no base flags and two mid flags in the waters

[abnormal]

- sphouse
-crimethink

+cvalley
+castle1
+pp3
+discovery
+carpathian
+jump
+nitefactor
+ub_rooftop
+warehouse

[b00nlander]

If you make hellsurvivors and sphouse happen, I'll join any team just to play those!

[Edgecrusher]

You know that tourney is on Day of dead holiday?

That means I'm out and probably few others. Consider rescheduling to week after that?

Format: Double elimination, best of one (including the final)

Only one map will be played in the GRAND final? why?

pp3_beta3 , I know it is a beta but we used to play it in like 50 matches. it works. no bugs. intense game. hard to camp. perfect size for a 3on3.

+pp3_beta3
+pbcup_renoir
+castle1
+crimethink
+nitefactor
+mirror2
+hellsurvivors

[Kyuuchi]

pp3 is boring.
summer
hellsurvivors
castle1
nitefactor
propaint2
carpathian
discovery

[idias]

I'd go with:

crimethink
propaint2
pbcup_2fort5
castle1
pbcup_sassault
hellsurvivors
pbcup_pbsanctuary
freedom (?)

@ Przmex & most people - No fast maps where it's easy to trade/cap like prolandr, and no maps where low ping beats higher ping such as theice3, since we have a big number of americans playing in the cup, also pp3 is still in beta stage, therefore most likely it won't get pick.

[Santader]

I'd go with:

crimethink
propaint2
pbcup_2fort5
castle1
pbcup_sassault
hellsurvivors
pbcup_pbsanctuary
freedom (?)

[abnormal]

[b00nlander]

nah, it sux totally.. I'd like to see someone who'd like to play hellsurvivors.

<----

[AsThor]

hellsurvivors is the worst map i've ever seen

[Kyuuchi]

[idias]

The ones I pointed out are the ones we will most likely discuss to enter the maplist, more info soon to come

[Gamabunta]
