This is might be late to say now but having a game play as when Jempire do a GvG. at least rules controlled the abusing of these weapons ( pulsar hammer ) also with the brand new t2 bkc this is not but another t3 match mini edition which make the whole point of your op uvs t3 gear pointless.
I have been playing LD t2 for so long so let me tell you something I have a fear this luvly event going to be the worse.
if your are going to say they won't spend more money than what they are going to WIN then welcome to reality this is just an experiment for them discovering their chance of winning and prepared themselve for the next tournament with the highest quality of gear they can reach.

pretty sad that the t1 tournament is cancelled. I was expecting something like you can't play t2 tournament without the t1 or both or t1 and t2 are linked.

(what am I saying right now this tournament already started...)
and Thanks

This tournament is such a mess

we now have undeniable proof that ELK caps points sometimes

If the match was missed it shouldn't be able to be made up I would think. That would be unfair to teams that actually did fight on time. But it is up to KD so yeah

And the match today?

my only line of contact with lefty's team has been miabot; and from what i was told ELK and klipik had talked earlier today though i'll be blunt and say i have no idea whether the time was specifically mentioned by ELK to klipik or if it was just a general "wtf we doin fam" moment, though we did decide as a team last night that playing 8 PM tonight was our only available time.

so our team showed up at 8 PM. we had received no other information on the subject from anyone, and stayed until 9:30 PM. attempted to contact lefty's team multiple times throughout the afternoon and evening, but moreso in the evening for me since i had two job interviews in the morning and wasn't on during the morning hours.

so uh... yeah

2PM EST.

Git gud vs Pepperswirl: Didn't happen, not enough participants on both sides. Do we need to reschedule this or just move on?

Git Gud vs Little Bunnies: 2-0 to Git Gud, third match cancelled because Bunnies had issues queueing on EU server.

Git Gud vs Funk off: Didn't happen, people not online, unavailable. To be rescheduled (hopefully tonight or tomorrow)

Git Gud vs Shadow Mercs today: Needs to be arranged. Threattoall or anyone from that team please contact me.

obviously this tournament was a GvG between git gud and funk off no more no less. it's so obvious that both teams just went for op players and make ultimate team.
to be honest the tournament was pretty unfair or in other words no challenge or even a real fight it was more of one side fight every time you fight one of these two teams.
( that 3star bkc should have been defuffed specially in DMG )
anyway there was no rules against all of that so I can't say much.

overall is was a good opportunity for top players to earn just more money..

slightly irrelevant now that KD's posted but i figured i'd post anyway to drive the point home

manava, with all due respect:

there appears to be very little that held you back from playing in this tournament, given the fact that you cited your own "experience" in T2 LD just about two weeks ago. every team except shadow mercenaries had an adequate amount of time to recruit players to play for a particular team, including the ones that you're complaining about being "OP". the only thing that could have been done is to restrict a team to a certain number of backups - even then, funk off has only used 7 of 12 players, and i think little bunnies has used 8 or 9 of their 12. this would account for one additional team that "could have been made", but realistically the players funk off hasn't used either no longer play or specifically said that they prefer not to unless we have no one else. on top of that, every team had about the same amount of prep time to make decisions on gear to use/heat. for the sake of argument, i'll even humor the notion of rolling UVs on 3* gear and detail it below.

DISCLAIMER: if you don't like numbers being crudely presented at 11 am EST, then skip the next paragraph.

if we assume that each team splits the money up 6 ways (for each player in the winning team), the most a single player can get is 5500 CE, which translates to roughly 525k crowns (9500 cr being used as the median value for a bundle of 100 CE). assuming that player decides roll 1 UV onto your armors and weapons, they have approximately 26 rolls to get any kind of max UV and break even. break this up between helmet, armor, and two weapons, and you have roughly 6 rolls per item to get something desirable. and that's just under financially ideal circumstances where only six players get paid off. this math is also only assuming that team places in first. if we look at the teams in the running, arguably only shadow mercs could have feasibly justified doing this, with git gud being a close second by having 7 players instead of 6. in the worst case scenario of a 12-way split (as previously mentioned, funk off and little bunnies both have a registered list of 12 players), you can essentially halve the amount of rolls a player could theoretically do to give themselves an advantage and still profit off of winning.

the only thing you really did get right about that statement of this tourney being about funk off vs git gud is that you understand the basic principles behind a tourney, since it usually boils down to two teams anyway. as KD previously noted, lefty's team could have easily made matches go for all five rounds, so ruling them out is frankly a pretty stupid call as it is. i'm not even their team representative and i know this tourney could have been a pretty good one had they played - they had a stroke of bad luck by having players get sick and two leave the country for the holidays.

ultimately, it comes down to this - whining and complaining is all well and good, but at least have a valid reason to do so.

@Manava I agree with this statement.

I signed up for this tournament in order to bring interest back to T2 because I miss playing it, and I was hopeful (by now I should learn to never be) that we could make some teams of old T2 players and have some tournament matches just for fun, to try to influence new players to participate. But after looking at all the signups it's easy to see that this tournament has come down to nothing more than a few teams trying to be as powerful as possible, discouraging others to join, as shown by the small numbers signing up for the tournament at all, as well as the pure point of trying to prove who's best.

Granted, I should have known this would happen, and I apologize for my untimely sickness being the major cause of all this commotion, and I apologize to the rest of the teams and to my teammates that I could not be there for you when our matches were meant to happen. Also, the lack of planning and the issue of time zone differences are also much to blame for the failure to get the teams together to play our games.

Anyway, I feel no remorse, other than for my friends who signed up with me and for the other team who did not get to play us, for not getting to participate in this tournament, and no one else should either. In the end we all know what match it was going to come down to, and when the future is known to hold your demise, participation/living becomes meaningless.

~Lefty.

To people who say that this tournament has been stacked in a way that only two teams have good members. Do you expect people who know of good players to decide to not play with them and instead purposely choose worse players? Your logic is very weird in that manner.

@Kinda-Decent
Apologies for the delay in matches. My team has members which are on very strict schedules which don't allow much free time. We'll sort something out soon.

for the tourney that you're intending to do for the summer, let me know if you'll need any assistance with setting up, organization, or other stuff like that. been a while since i've seen anyone genuinely try to start something up for the community, would hate to see it get wasted over general lack of interest.

Git gud vs Funk off score boards

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=do1Sj-uPZSA

the real funny part is that we gave each other's team their only losses through the entirety of it

but at the end of the day there's no other way of wording it, we did well and you guys did better

congratulations on the win

Just one thing to note, i would've preferred the format of do 2 games on each server and then add the points each team got to see the victor if it's a 2-2 tie. It's ridiculous how you can do really well on both servers(but lose by a few points on the enemy server) yet still be left up to the coin toss of who'll basically get a huge advantage in the last match. Luckily the coin toss favored us but it would've been ridiculous to lose when we performed better across the board.

Also, get three rings to give in-game icons/trophies for winning!!!
