You play everyone in your group as posted on challonge Top teams in their divisions will move onto the second stage, so play well. Re: Map picking Picking will be decided by coin flip, one team does the flip by using cc_coinflip and the other calls heads or tails. The winner picks the first map, then the loser picks the second map. During a tiebreaker, both teams will pick a map they wish to play, the loser of the coinflip decides whether they want to call the flip or call heads/tails, winner gets their map pick. Second stage: Single Elimination Once the first stage is over, we move to play-offs. Any commentary and prediction posts can be made here. "Where can I find my opponents?"

Alfonzo Posted October 2, 2017 (edited) Good games, first up, particularly in Onslaught and UDM3. Pretty evenly matched from where I'm sitting, and Decay looked to be in ZEN MODE. Avernus just tearing it up in the decider round, as well. There was no stopping that train. Good recovery halfway through the round, though, with the deficit cut from sixteen down to just four or five frags or something. I was watching from raz's point of view most of the time. It really looked like he was off his game in goth18. Those missed jumps for the BFG and shots at the ss door wouldn't have helped him settle, either, and he and jason were both jumped early. Felt like a lost cause from the word go, to me. EDIT: Demo for WW vs. Fonze and Patience. Close games; should have won goddamn it! I gifted the BFG in exec at the very end and walked straight into fonze's SSG trap. Marcaek reckons we weren't in good form but after those atrocious warm-up games versus div. 1 I think there's some silver lining to be found, here. Can't be happy with a loss, though :( Edited October 3, 2017 by Alfonzo : I am a demo. 1 Share this post Link to post

Decay Posted October 3, 2017 Match Commentary: WheelChair Warriors vs Fonze/Patience These matches were neck and neck for virtually the whole game, they were really close and good matches to watch, though a little painful at times watching alfonzo's excellent 250-260 ping and some legendary double/triple team kills. Not team killing is a real skill in itself! Beware the consequences. IMO, Fonze and patience were really consistent, and did a good job at directing the flow of the map, even if it resulted in losing some skirmishes. However, I think the WWs could've pulled off a win had they not team killed each other so much. In Skirm12, it was 65-65, and then there was a double team kill, putting it down to 63-65, and the WWs lost ALL momentum after that, resulting in the 75-66 loss. Same thing happened in Exec09. On the other hand, Patience proved himself a real capable fragger, carrying a laggy Fonze to victory. I look forward to the rest of the matches in this division, it will be a close call to see who moves forward; its anyone's game. 2 Share this post Link to post

dew Posted October 7, 2017 Vinegar on Salad 2 - 0 Black Sheep (r1: udm3m07, r2: laz06) https://www.mediafire.com/file/jxhb959te276589/ztdm_div2_2017.10.07_VoS-2v0-BS_dew.7z GGs! I got away with a bit of berserker mode frenzy at the start of round 1, plowing through everything and racking up a deciding lead for a minute. Then things settled down to frag-trading, but we already had the upper hand. In round 2 we knew we'd eventually get the upper hand if we kept grinding the BFG, so that's what we did. Good luck to our opponents, they can be a threat with more teamwork practice. 3 Share this post Link to post

Alfonzo Posted October 7, 2017 Bearing in mind that we're talking about specific individuals here and not communities in their entirety (I'm quite enjoying my foray into the Zandronum side of things, so far)... trash-talking and bad humans needn't be interchangeable. Sure, some fights need to have a bit of genuine heat behind them if they're to mean anything at all and for the competition to prosper, but if someone's unable to tape their mouth shut at the very point of admission for new players — particularly when their peers insist that the competitive scene is in need of new blood and new perspective — it becomes evident who is playing the game in good spirit and who is wearing it to mask their true behavior. That of a goon. I love goading opponents as much as the next guy and can see that it is absolutely necessary to the scene; how tendencies can develop to assume there's a decent person behind whatever bit of defamatory shit-flinging that's about to emerge from the other player. What I find hard to believe, though, is that there is anyone who doesn't understand that you need to get people accustomed to that culture, first. Maybe I'm naive and will return to this space a blemished asshole, ready to spite the new player base with hilarious put-downs and discouraging remarks. Until then, however, I will assume that it's possible to both be a good player and a reasonable human being... ...The Saga of the Wheelchair continues... 5 Share this post Link to post

Decay Posted October 10, 2017 (edited) Demo post updated. Several great games happened this weekend; The Autists vs Multiple Scorgasm (MS wins 2-1) 2ez4daPros vs the Meme Police (2ez wins 2-0) and vs Multiple Scorgasm (MS wins 2-0) Vinegar on Salad vs Black Sheep (VOS wins 2-0) DoomGeriatrics vs Black Sheep (DG wins 2-0) The Slim Reapers vs Caution/Goblin (TSR wins 2-1) OurHero/Razor vs The Jajas XD (TJX wins 2-0) Caution/Goblin vs The Jajas XD (TJX wins 2-0) Div 2 get your act together! Get some games done. @Battle_Kirby @A7MAD @ShotgunDemolition None of you have been around nor attempted to get any games done. Several consistent absences and lack of attempting to get games done has resulted in penalty points! Killstrike decided to bail, leaving Godlike without a partner. Fate to be decided. Dranzer quit and is subsequently banned from signing up to future tournaments. OurHero filled his spot. Shift also quit and received a ban. Ral is not seeking a new partner. Nik informed me Thomas quit, so he quit, and both received future sign up bans, but suddenly changed his tune when confronted in a server. Still banned, IMO Hope you guys have been having as much fun as me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 3 Share this post Link to post

Decay Posted October 10, 2017 Some people seem to have forgotten what "commitment" means, and forgot the explicit statements I made in the sign-up thread. Quote - Do NOT sign up if you aren't motivated to play -Teams who do not make themselves available to play will be disqualified. -If you are not around, you run the risk of being disqualified. Don’t sign up if you aren’t ready to talk with others. It really isn't hard to be around for these. People who work full time jobs and are in post-secondary have been playing and/or scheduling their games without a problem. 4 Share this post Link to post
Koros Posted October 10, 2017 Meh... I lost interest after not being able to find anyone to be partnered up with. Regardless, best of luck to the teams that are playing. 1 Share this post Link to post
Battle_Korbi Posted October 10, 2017 In teh name of our team, SkawtonDreddnut, I shall speak. Me and ShotgunDemolition had both started to go to college at the same time tournament started. Thou mayst wonder what the hell happened in the between? Well my access to my primary gaming platform had been lost, and I had been setting up a auxiliary platform for a while. It should work by tomorrow. We haven't forgotten about the tournament, and in fact, we had been looking forward to it, but higher education takes it's toll I guess. However, that doesn't mean we don't want to play. It is just that things happened in the meantime. We kinda expected college to interfiere, which is why we put up our availability as "upon agreement with the team interested with playing against us" or something like that, when we signed up. But this kind of interfierence just screwed some things up. We are just coming a bit late to the fray. And if that messes up our score, so be it. If there is anyone to blame, its technically me. ShotgunDemolition just got to be that unlucky to get punished by teaming up with me. Doubt any "relocation" or team switching or any of that mumbo jumbo is going to help now, I am fixing up my method of playing and should be available very soon, and ShoDemo was bombed with college stuff as well. Harm has been done, nothing can be said to disprove it. And I am willing to receive a penalty for not saying anything beforehand. Note: I still won't take any flak for being "unmotivated" to play or any of that type of crap, problem is not personal, more technical if anything, and if I am going to be punished just because I didn't look like "someone who wants to play" then I can and probably will freely disagree. Ranting about "team spirit" towards me is not going to prove any sort of point nor will hasten or change the course of actions. Unless someone wants to shit at me for not being punctual, I can always take that crap, and technically judging by the full story, only 20% of the blame goes to me for deciding to pursue higher educational courses. Who needs em anyways :PPP jk just a forward notice. tl;dr stupid crap happened, we are going to ride in a bit later like some anime villains. Nothing else but a rather long delay. 2 Share this post Link to post
