2mins to load the site.. Waiting 20mins to signin, superslow posting speed, and lets not talk about the refresh on the page please... and its like this for a cuplle'o days already.
Hey, i was wondering.. you know, this game is awesome and ppl like playing it right..
and thies conversations date back to 500 b.c, no b.s i swear
Why are you making online seeding tournaments, ppl are already complaining about spending 300euros, because they love the game, because they love to play, and they end up sad and heartbroken because they only got to play 3times i think the seeding tournaments could be organized offline, at the beginning of the lan, so the girls, the boys, and the mongloids can play more games, thats what this game is all about, playing!

shouldnt be that impossible :)
//y ofc lowteams know they wont play more then 2-3games but they just deal with it, and are not complaining or flaming the tournament, but they would want to play more. ppl love this game alot, with smart heads put together in a room, im sure they could make the tournament more enjoyable (not saying that its not already) :)
setup + playing 3 group games generally takes 4-5 hours.
40-60mins max per game (2maps) 4teams (no decider, just two maps)
an hour for 4teams to play 2games
two hours for 8 teams to play 4games
3 for 12 and 6games
4 for 16 and 8games
+setup time around 10mins at that time so it should take more then 7hours to get it done, or to make it a bit interesting,
they play a map against one team, and another map against the other team.... it would look more like a seeding tournament and not fun/warmup games :) and if thers any time left at the end of the day, around 20:00 there could be some fun wars going on
every team plays 3 group matches. if a high team loses the first 2 playoffs matches, they are out. the lower skilled teams get to play the consolidation tournament where they also play a double elimination from what i know. means they have the exact same amounts of games as the high skilled teams which is fair imo x)
Higher skilled teams obv don't, some people get mad and rage out of the lancenter :{
staying longer in the country would mean spending more and more money eventually wtf is up with u smartasses being stupid n shit
there isnt ever any idle time - there has never been like a 4-5 hour gap and 'good players' have been allowed to just sit idle on the PC's.
Lesson to be learned, quicker setup team = more warmup time!
abjection , speculation
teams like rockit had a computer for 4/5 hours straight, they even went to eat etc
while the "lows" were told to hurry setting up
anyway, its unfair to let the lows play offi only and the pros can prac all day
There is just no time for funmatches. You need 12 free computers for at least 1,5 hours (set up computers etc and play 2 maps). With only 30 Computers at the Wizard Lancenter, you have no chance for funmatches. I dont know if you were at any lan, but usually it isnt really about playing ET. It is more about chilling together outside or at the bar. Most of the players spent most of their time at the hotels with other teams to drink some beers tbh.
Look at me. I played 3 matches and maybe only 1 map with 6 players in total, because my mates prefered smoking weed or drinking too much alcohol. People just dont really give a damn about ET at lan :P or lets say at least it isnt as important as chilling around at the sofas or in front of the Livecam... :) .... (ofc ET is more important for the anexis-nerds than for MCG)
ofc lan is about chilling but if i pay 60 euros i expect more than 3/4 matches
no more flags :(
Seeding tournament at LAN would be stupid, most of the teams see the seeding tournament as a good practice.
no1 complains if he plays only 3games, but they would all want to play more :P
