Hello everyone!
This is a followup with more information about the tournament. See original post here.
Start of the tournament is almost here! We need 5 more players to form a full 32p tournament. We want you to join the tournament, whether you are new to the game or a veteran from the past!
YOU HAVE 8 MORE HOURS UNTIL SIGNUP IS DUE! ːsteamhappyː
Registration will be open until September 14 6:00 PM (18:00) CEST.
Tournament will start in September 15 6:00 PM (18:00) CEST.
Check-in starts September 14 6:00 PM (18:00) CEST (DON'T FORGET!)
Stage 1:
Participants in group of 4 will play against each other 2 matches each (6 matches in total for 1 player, on 6 different maps). No one will be eliminated during 1st stage - instead N amount of players with most amount of loses will be placed in losers brackets right away in stage 2 of the tournament (They need to be eliminated only once - see it here https://linewar.challonge.com/23T2_1v1/bracket).
If there wont be enough participants to form a full group - they will be placed in reserves or in losing brackets in Stage 2 right away. More information on Stage 2 will be provided later to tournament participants.
Rules:
- DON'T FORGET TO CHECK IN! It will start in September 14 6:00 PM (18:00) CEST
- If you wont be able to play a match for long period of time - report it to tournament organisers through Discord. If player wont respond to organiser/opponent AND will not play straight for 2-3 days - that player will be disqualified.
- In chat: Act friendly, do not spam, no harsh language, respect your opponents.
- Don't intentionally prolong the match by "turtleling" or by building sneaky buildings. Resign when you are sure that you cant win.
- All strategies and units are allowed in matches (off-shore subpens/shipyards placement, sneaky barracks in small territory behind the line and so on)
- If player disconnects in middle of the match (power outage, connection problems, etc) - match can be replayed if both sides agree. Otherwise the one who disconnects loses automatically.
Scheduling and playing the matches:
- Open match details (click on magnifying glass, look at the picture below) to get name of your next opponent and map seed
- Agree with your opponent on the date and time when you will play your match in tournament-chat channel. NOTE: During group stage, it will be smart to contact all your opponents immediately at same time.
- On a set time, create or join a public lobby with your opponent. You can utilize password protection in a lobby to exclude other players. Play a match while following the rules. NOTE: If you encountered a problem (opponent is not showing up, cheating, badmouthing and etc) report it to tournament-problems channel
- Once match is played, report the score on Challonge (look at picture below) and send replay name in tournament-replays channel of LW Discord server
