Wassup yall. This here is the post where we announce the thing and whatnot. Viewer erection is advised.
Overview:
The tournament will take place in the Hawken Teamspeak on Saturday the 26th of March.
There will be NA and EU sides. EU will start at 10 AM EST (yes I will be getting up at 5:30 AM for you EUs:) and NA will start at 2 PM EST.
The whole event will be casted by the lovely folks over at TPG.
There will be deathmatches to determine seeds in an 8 person 1v1 bracket.
The winners will receive prizes.
The tournament(s) will last a few hours (similar to the Try Hard 3v3s)
Rules:
Deathmatches will be played with level 30 accounts only and will be 15 minutes long.
The deathmatches and 1v1s will be played with no radar.
Scoring high in the preliminary DMs (8-12 players) will advance you to the seeding DM (10 players).
In the seeding DM the bottom 2 players will be eliminated and the top 8 will have their positions translated into seeds for the tournament.
Participants in each of the preliminary DMs will be Randomized.
The deathmatch maps will be randomly selected from all available maps.
The following mechs will be banned for the entirety of the tournament. Assault, PPA Incinerator, Berserker, Brawler, and Vulcan/Heat Gren. This is more experimental than anything. Future tournaments may have no or different mech restrictions.
The following items and internals will be banned for the entirety of the tournament. Extractor, Repair Kit, Advanced Repair Kit, Basic Extractor, Composite Armor, Advanced Reconstructor, and Repair Charge. Everything else is welcomed and encouraged. Get creative with those builds!
All 1v1s will be played in the region where the 2 players ping is most similar, unless the two players come to an agreement on a different location. EX. Player 1 has a ping of 100 on NJ and a ping of 50 on Dallas. Player 2 has a ping of 120 on NJ and a ping of 200 on Dallas. The match will be played in NJ. If the two players wish to play 2 matches (one on each server) it will be reviewed on a case to case basis. In this case the scores from both regions would be added to determine the winner. In the event of a tie, the player with the better overall damage ratio will be the winner.
The 1v1 map will be the test arena but if the players agree any symmetrical portion of any map may be used.
The 1v1s will be first to 10 with a point being scored every time you kill your opponent. When your opponent scores a point you may switch mechs. Items / abilities are allowed to be refreshed at the end of each fight.
Demos must be recorded by ALL players. Failure to submit a requested demo will result in disqualification.
Screenshots of your scoreboard will be dropped into a cloud somewhere (pending) for statistical analysis.
Prizes: Are in the works. If anyone would like to donate prizes that would be awesome. Prizes will be awarded to the top 3 finishers in each bracket and randomly among all participants.
FINALLY...How to sign up? Simply comment in this thread with your in-game name and region.
