Tournament Interest Thread

I think this is a good idea. I reckon the main reason the last tournament died was because it was a very bad time to do it. I myself am in uni doing work and stuff and everyone else is probably busy too.

Europeans have a long summer holiday I believe.

Teams of 3 are better with 2 subs, because otherwise trying to get everyone into a match at the same time is a little difficult. The subs should be mandatory for each teams sake.

 

I'd be interested in doing it. I've yet to participate in a tournament...but I don't know if I could find 5 other people to team up with. So I'd prefer teams of 3. I'd offer more insight, but I'm not sure how tourneys here work.

 

Sounds good and just for your interests, in Australia the summer holidays has finished -_- but it sounds like a good idea and I haven't been in a tournament and what would happen if you got disconnected o_O

Thanks GHOZT

 

Rather than random teams, i would like to see a Clan vs Clan Tournament, which can be used to determine what clan is #1 in KAG.

Also, please don't say that your clan is #1 after this post, as it will just fill the thread with spam and will derail the topic

 

I am not sure at wich months i have my summer holiday ( Seriously, i always forget this. ) But i believe it is in the months you said, Blueluigi. I would be interested in a tournament, but i would prefer having 3 seperate tournaments. 1 For europe, 1 for the USA + Canada and 1 for Australia. As Neat said, i think having 2 subs aside of 3 main team members would work better as not having subs.

 

A pretty much huge +1 on all that's been said, although a clan tournament is rather... bad due to the amount of (Rubbish) clans on KAG as of late.

 

I think it might be worth having separate tournaments based on location, to prevent lag getting involved. Although that's kind of optional.

 

But find now 32 teams to play. There was hardly 16 teams signed in the last moment and I think that's enough.

 

really must wait half year for play a tournament?

 

I would love to see a huge-ass balls to the wall epic full clan tournament, but I think that as a community we need to gain some experience doing organized play before we undertake crazy ventures that are doomed to fail by our inexperience. Grind some XP doing small things and we'll work our way up.

What I think would be more practical and still fun is a short term regional 1v1 league. No planned dates or anything like that, but people challenging each other over irc (with some minor restrictions) and at the end of a month or so the stats are computed and the person with the highest ELO wins.

Or we could still do a tournament but I think something more like a 1v1 or 2v2 arena type of game. Something easier to handle.

 

I assume that every play had to play given number of matches? In this case, cool. If everybody played what he wanted and guys with 1 won match and 1 played would have the highest ELO it's totally uncool.

 

Thought tournaments were a way to settle disputes?

 

Let's get together everyone involved, randomly set them up on the chart, make a forum post about the tourney, and update it as people move up in the rankings.


Have everyone who wants to participate post here along with the best time of the day they can do it, then put them up against someone else with a similar time to take part. I'd be cool with it being 1v1 with no respawn. Might make things stupid intense.

I am trained in the ancient art of MS Paint and would happily use my off the chart skills to erase and write names on a tournament bracket.

I don't know what I'm talking about.

 

-I agree that regional 1v1 tournaments should come first. Have 20 duels with a person on RDM, winner takes on the next in line; quick, simple, effective.
-Australia doesn't really have the numbers to support a regional team tournament.
-If/When I acquire a Japanese server, it could be used to provide fairly equal pings to everyone from EU/NA/Aus
