Since there is general interest in a next event and team Nexzil is already about to launch a nice event on 13/14 Oct, I will throw a cup on 29+30 September. Next weekend is too close imo and it might be good to have a free weekend inbetween the tournaments.
This thread is for signing up purposes since I will decide the format (double elim or round robin) on next weekend when I know how many teams will participate.
I will announce the rules, and streams etc after that weekend when I close the signups, also the name of the event.
To compensate the players for all the nice games they delivered to us so far, I throw in 50€ as prize money.
I will update this thread/post with more info and confirmed teams. I will try to catch every team on steam/ts/pm etc, but feel free to drop me a PM.
Teams signed up so far: (alphabetical order)
- Archaea
- Cyd
- Duplex
- EoD
- Exertus
- Hg
Sign-ups will close on 6th confirmed team for round robin format (7 teams would be too many).

Obviously you know the present situation way better than I do, I just always think about Murphy's Law when it comes to organizing tournaments.

Oh yes. 50 euros / 6 players in team = 8,33 euros. I can see all the top clans just lining up to exploit for a sum that would pay maybe 1% of a computer that is currently required for playing at that level! ;)
But yeah, we still lack much of the tools required for being even relatively sure no hacking is involved, so all the tournaments are currently running more or less on trust. We are still in practice tournament mode, but that will change at some point. I've ran tournaments in different games and I do very much support the idea, that you always should have rules that are tight and clear and not easily misunderstood. You also should have a way to discourage and disqualify cheating and exploits. These things will be a necessity in the future.
Silly stuff has happened even without money on the line. Money just gives extra provocation for that kind of behaviour.

well, i will talk with the team captains and if the majority thinks this as bad idea, i can drop it. the decision will be made then next weekend (before bigger announcements), so far i am open for any feedback, harsh criticism and love.
Great initiative though, I'm sure we'll play.
Just saying, don't worry, this baby will roll.
Will be backpacking up Panther Creek Falls. ^_^

Whose team mate..what team..I missed something :P
By casting yesterdays games I must agree that b220 has issues to make a tourney. Hope there's at least quickfix for next week.
