Battle of Bucharest 2017 - Sign Up!

[captain lust]

Sign Up! - Fight your way to glory in Bucharest! You may participate in both categories, however you cannot more than once i.e. you can join the duels only once and only one team in the Team category – no more. Any player found to have signed up multiple times or in multiple teams will be disqualified. Unfortunately, for this event, given the time scale and budget, we can only accept applications from European based players who are able to travel to Romania without requiring a visa. This pretty much comes down to EU member countries, with a few exceptions. We understand that many of you from outside this region would love to compete as well, and we are determined to offer events in the future that can accommodate everyone. We also require that all participants are 16 or older, and that any under-18s be able to gain any necessary permission required for them to travel to Romania. Anyone found to be participating, who does not qualify with the above criteria will not be able to attend the finals in Bucharest, will be excluded from the tournament, along with their teammates, and possibly prevented from participating in future events.

[Kragen]

I dont think that ae will be as dominant in 5v5 as they are in 8v8.

The random gods were not kind to you today!

"random"

Just a question - Was there no seeding at all for the either tournament? Seems like a big risk for the finals.

Since 5vs5 is less established and we had limited time to get sign ups and then have the games played in order to have everyone ready for the finals, I decided it's better to just hit random.

 

[Killfacer]

Seems like most of the top teams are in the same part of the bracket which is a big shame for the finals. Oh well, good luck to all teams.

 

[Fietta]

Yeah, the bottom bracket seems oddly easy, can I pay 30 euros to potentially pull us down to the other half of the bracket?

 

[OurGloriousLeader]

I don't know the roster of every team but from a quick look the top part of the bracket is heavily weighted with good teams whilst the lower seems less so. I think with 3 days devoted to simple qualifiers a system that had more matches could have been looked at? I had assumed to be playing 2-4 matches each day but this is just one match, one map, single elimination - and I can see at least 2 possible finalists removed in the 2nd day since Charlini's team has been looking good also.

Understand the lack of knowledge for seeding since this is a little unknown but a better tournament system could've been used imo. If too late now definitely next time.

 

[captain lust]

I think no matter what, we're going to see four great teams at the finals.

Beyond that, playing 5vs5 and at LAN, anything could happen really. The finals match format will also be extended and map-based (announcement coming), so it could easily produce some different results to those you might expect.

Offering 100:1 odds on Unity making grand finals LAN without dropping more than 5 rounds. It's a small return for your bet but it's a sure thing, message me for paypal details.

 

[Fietta]

If I were Unity right now, I'd be packing my bags.

Maybe, but the qualifiers are going to be a roll of the dice for some and that could have been avoided with more matches to decide consistency. Hope we don't see Nords on Sandiboush.
