eSport Challenge LAN: Signups Less than a Month Away

image: tlresportschallenge

We are now less than a month away from the signups opening for TLR’s eSports Challenge which is due to take place at the beginning of July this year. A list of teams interested in the event can be found HERE.

We will be offering some of the 16 slots to teams on this list who we believe are the most likely to attend and compete in the tournament based on prior attendance to other events. So if you’re interested in attending the event message me here on crossfire with your hopeful lineup.

As far as tournament-specific updates go, we have made a change to the scheduling of the tournament and the format in which teams will compete. We can confirm the group stage will be best of 3 but in the case of a double full-hold on the deciding map the match will be a draw. This ensures we do not endure massive delays for the rest of the event.

Also Due to having a limited number of PCs available for use, the play-offs will be 1 of 2 styles:
  • Single elimination play-off with single-elimination consolation play-off
  • Double elimination play-off but NO consolation play-off

Once we have had all 16 teams signed up to the tournament we will open the vote to all participating players on which playoff style to use, the choice will be made by them and not us or anyone hoping to spectate. The top two teams of each group qualify into the main playoffs be it single or double elimination.

Can't wait looks like it's going to be great success! =)
Nice, the changes make sense. :)
open more slots for cod = success.
Will be a sick lan, someone wants to drink a beer with me there ?
* Single elimination play-off with single-elimination consolation play-off
- votes from most of non-top clans, who assume that they wont reach playoffs and wants to play more than 3 group-stage games

* Double elimination play-off but NO consolation play-off
- votes from top clans that are certain to passed a group stage and may lose during the playoffs (e.g. match vs TLR/d. in 1st round) but will still have a chance to play in the tournament
there will be seeds im sure and top finishers in groups will not meet until at least the semi finals - you would assume the better teams would finish top of the group so no problem about 1st round draws unless a team under performs.

yea its true, also i might wrote it wrong, my point is e.g. a team passed a group on 2nd place, had 3 very good games and have to face TLR or dignitas in playoff 1st round - with single elimination its probably the end of their journey, with double elimination they still have a motivation to play in loser brackets.

anyway something always will be wrong for someone, of course double eli and consolation cup would be the best but I guess that its impossible ;p
Parent
yup sadly - just no enough PC's to do it in 3 days :(
