[ENSC2012] HardGamerz European Native Summer Cup 2012 | Congratulations Rattys

[Andrej1]

As for money in this tournament, I'm not sure right now. If there is any, it won't be more than a sweetener just to try it out and make things a little more interesting.

AE players can stop working

We sign up in this thread or what?

i Assume the second place play off system is in place because you plan on having money involved?

I think it improves the format, whether money comes into play or not. In straight single elimination, it's no fun if all the best teams meet each other really low down in the bracket. It's not ideal with this format but at least it potentially keeps good teams in the competition for longer. I'm thinking of changing at around a little bit to have each side of the playoffs face each other and then after the final, either have a 2nd place match or not depending on whether the winner's side won the losers' playoff. Then that'd give 1st, 2nd and a potentially questionable third if the loser of the final lost to the winner of the playoffs (which would only be played if the winner's side won the playoffs). Even then, I think it'd be a reasonably legitimate 3rd place.

Without money nobody will play those matches. You know that. Unless your using money then people wont fight them. Nobody wants to fight an extra load of matches for the express purpose of finishing second.

What's the difference between a match of the best teams in the 1st round opposed to one in the last round - especially since it's (kind of) a knock-out tournament and in your system the two (supposedly) best teams will also only play in the finale per chance.

I still think that's a waste of time and effort for an uninteresting and more or less tiny improvement of objectivity (which is in some scenarios even totally insignificant).

Or the opposite.

neither.

Not unless they really want to take that rat thing to another level.

We sign up in this thread or what?

I've just posted it for scrutinising right now. I'll open signups tomorrow or something (I'll say at 12:00 BST, if you want to make sure that you sign up as early as possible). Signing up will involve full player registration though. No ID posting or copypasting. If you want to start sending players to the servers now, I'll accept anyone who goes on today as a registrant.

Both of those options are the same... so I'm just going to say no. This is a separate competition.

Without money nobody will play those matches. You know that. Unless your using money then people wont fight them. Nobody wants to fight an extra load of matches for the express purpose of finishing second.

I don't know if that's necessarily the case but I guess we may or may not find out.

What's the difference between a match of the best teams in the 1st round opposed to one in the last round - especially since it's (kind of) a knock-out tournament and in your system the two (supposedly) best teams will also only play in the finale per chance.

The crucial point is that if a team is knocked out in the first round by the team that goes on to win the tournament, it's potentially quite difficult to work out if they're any good at all. This system just gives a second chance to teams that might have gotten a bit of a raw deal with the draw.

I still think that's a waste of time and effort for an uninteresting and more or less tiny improvement of objectivity (which is in some scenarios even totally insignificant).

I'm not sure why the negativity. If it seems like it wasn't worth it after it's tried and ends up being a load of hassle then it won't be used again. Personally I just think it's a neat solution to a problem.

Or the opposite.

It's not like this would be the first time prizes have been introduced to a competition. US duel tournaments, Nations Cup, WFaS duel tournaments. None of those went up in flames because of them. Again if prizes are tried out and it causes a load of issues then it can be called an experiment failed and we can move on but if they work out, I think it could be a good way of bringing things forward for the community.

Because modus. But with this template you suggested a 1st and 2nd place are logical, the 3rd place can't really be decided with it in my opinion, nor would it be needed.

It can be decided to a reasonable degree. At worst, 3rd place has won their half of the bracket, which is acceptable arguably.

[Arch3r]

I still think that a 1st and 2nd prize is enough, as these are way more accurate with the current template.

A team loses 2-0 (with no rounds won, seldom having a kill) against the future winner, opposed to a 2-1 with a tie-breaker - and everything in between.

There's no negativity in my opinion, I just don't see the reason for this modus operandi since I don't see an early eliminated team as a problem (in a knock-out tournament). If you need it to organise seeded tournaments in the future it would at least have a purpose - but you didn't say so and I'd still think of it as a waste of time (for more or less the same reasons).

As long as the baaing of how an involvement of prizes "brings things forward" is reiterated, I'll voice the opposite opinion (with the same lack of thoughtfulness).

[Captain Lust]

Well I'm still convinced that these are the right choices but we'll have to see.

Anyway, I've added a rule that states teams have no say in whether or not their matches are streamed. Signups are now open.
