SIGNUPS AND TOURNAMENT PAGE HERE: http://www.globalunreal.com/KOTR_III/
What day/time will the tournament take place?
Sunday February 17th @ 3:30pm EST. Estimated duration 5.5-6hrs.
How will signups work?
First come, first serve. Signup and guarantee your spot in the tournament. Depending on signups and interest, we could expand them anywhere from 100 to 160.
Seeding/Elimination method?
There will be community feedback mixed with admin discretion to determine the favorites (top 20-30) of the tournament. The favorites will then be distributed equally amongst the initial heats. The elimination method will depend on the number of signups we get but after the first round, the top 5 in each heat will advance.
How will players be re-seeded going into future rounds?
The players that advance will be ordered by frag total and re-seeded based on total frags, not placement in the previous round. Placement solely determines advancement.
What is the maplist?
Official discussion is located here: viewtopic.php?f=36&t=623
Map Notes: Viridian has been removed from KOTR.III. While it played decent in the last tournament, it was a bit congested for 10 players and much better suited to 2v2v2v2 iTDM. Replacing Viridian is a classic: Malevolence. Liandri will also be getting replaced (was in the first 2 KOTR and could return in the future), and the map that replaces it will be decided by YOU! Yes.. YOU. I will be running a poll for the next 2 weeks and the community will get to vote and decide what the 3rd map will be.
Heat Length:
15mins in the first 4 rounds, 20mins for the finals.
Servers:
We will have 10 servers setup for the event. Pugs will be turned off for the first two rounds and all games will be played on an NY using newnet.
Media Content:
mrgrins will once again be holding down the fort on twitch and DISCONNECT will continue to make magic happen.
KOTR.II Stream: http://www.twitch.tv/globalunrealtv/b/334023419
1000+ views in only a few months on the highlight reel and 350+ on the 6h stream of the event. These numbers are great but it's time to start pushing the boundaries in 2013. Make sure that you participate and submit clips for the KOTR.III highlight reel.
PUGS:
We will be adding iDM as an option in #iPug. Thanks to spydee for coding this into sBOT. The pug will be 1 map and 20 minutes. It will give people an opportunity to practice for the tournament and test out some maps for this and future KOTR. Additionally we will have iDM on the pub for the weeks leading up to KOTR (iCTF primarily) but if people don't have time for a pug, catch a quick game on the pub: GlobalUnreal.com Presents: newnet - unreal://74.91.123.15:7777
If you have any questions or concerns.. post them here. This should be a nice hype tournament going into S3 of Global.iCTF (draft on the 24th). Support the community by showing up and playing/watching.
Thanks,
PACO
