Final Update

------------------------------------------

I'd like to thank all participating teams and players for their efforts this past weekend.  A lot of competitive players got a good look at Siege, and I hope it informs their perspectives as we discuss our Season 3 gametype(s).  We will continue these TPG Cups - probably on a monthly basis - and explore new gametypes, mutators, player counts, and restrictions.

 

 

Congratulations to the Temporary Tangs for winning the first TPG Hawken Cup!

Help TPG test Siege's competitive viability! We'll be running our first Siege Cup next Saturday, starting @ 3 PM EST (12 PM PST).  The winning team even gets a spot on TPG's wall of Champions!

 

Quick Update 3: We've rescheduled the remaining semi-final and the final for Sunday, May 31st @ 6 EST and 7 EST, respectively.

 

Quick Update 2:

Here's the current schedule: http://challonge.com/HwkSgCup

 

Remember: Matches consist of a single round played on a map selected by TPG.  If your team loses their first match, don't fret - we're running a double elimination format, so you'll play at least two games.  Furthermore, we'll help schedule scrims for any teams which lose both their matches and wish to continue playing. 

 

At 3 EST, we'll start with the BLG.rats against The Hawken Collective (Map Selection: Frontline), and Violent Resolution against cannon fodder (Map Selection: Origin).  I would appreciate it if teams could fill their rosters between now and then.  Register on the TPG site (if you've not already), select the Hawken Siege Cup from the dropdown menu, select your team, and enter the join password (provided by your team captain.  Please do so promptly.

 

Vanguard and the Temporary Tangs have been given a bye into the second round, partially to provide even matchmaking, and partially to provide Vanguard time to find subs.  If they do not participate, then their opponents will receive forfeit wins. 

 

As for servers, find an option that works for both teams.  We have access to East, Central, and West servers (I think we've access to some West servers, anyway); test your pings, see what's fair.  If you're having trouble, message me on Steam (OmniNept) and I'll sort through server options.

 

Hopping on Hawken TS isn't necessary, but you may find it helpful for match scheduling.  I'll be idling in an empty channel - ping me to get my attention (or send me a Steam message).

 

PS: coldform, please add me on Steam.

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Quick Update: We'll be switching the format from single elimination to double elimination, but we'll keep with the one round per match.

 

Participants: Ensure that you're registered on the TPG site: http://www.tpgleague.org/hwksg/

 

Team Captains: Create a new team for the Siege Cup through your Control Panel (left-hand side).  Select Manage Organizations (or Create Organization, if this is your first time on TPG), and select the Hawken Siege Cup from the League drop-down menu.

 

Remember: The event starts @ 3 EST tomorrow (Saturday).  You needn't hop onto the Hawken TS, but I would like all captains to add me as a Steam Contact (OmniNept) tonight.  Will make scheduling easier.

Thanks for helping out guys.

[Amidatelion]

I would literally rather stick my fuzzy bunny in a foetid, rusty drainpipe than play S3 as Siege so you better believe I will test the fuzzy bunny out of this to test my hypotheses.

Well go ahead and do it  Cuz Elite guarant-damn-tees that S3 will be siege 

[Hyginos]

Considering how little it takes skill differential wise to wildly skew a siege match, I don't think it would be a particularly enjoyable competitive mode. One of the benefits of MA, especially on triangle maps, is that the score can look a lot closer than it is, which IMO is a better experience for the players involved and for any potential spectators.

 

With that said, I will try to participate for science.

We can probably get a squad together for this, I hope

[Nept]

The Automatic Mustangs have confirmed.  Let's get some more registrations going, guys.  Remember: Cups are separate from the League.  You can create an entirely new team for cups, or fill the roster with people from other league teams.

Three teams confirmed, guys - let's get a move on with these signups.  Want a decent showing.

[crockrocket]

TDM will participate. We will be nailing down our roster over the next couple days.

[Interrobang87]

So much yes! Been waiting for TPG siege. If anyone needs a free agent to round out a team I would be overjoyed to participate.

[PoopSlinger]

We need another person interrobang

[Amidatelion]

Pending finalization of the roster (deadline Thursday) the B-team will have something to register.

 

May register under BLG.rats

[Interrobang87]

I'd love to snap you up, but I'm dealing with an over-full roster at the moment.

 

I'd ask THC or bother fuzzy bunnyng Omega/Saturday about getting vR into the Cup.

 

It's separate from TPG so there's no commitment, so it works for all sides.

[PoopSlinger]

I think we still need one more LAZERZARD.

Already edited.

So I think we fuzzed this one up. I've had a tough week in school so this has definitely been on the backburner for me. We still plan on participating in the actual TPG season
