Greetings fellow Spiral Knights, I am Whitelancer, I believe many knights already knows me so enough of this crap :D

During my long journey in Cradle, at the times that the Coliseum Games was not yet released, I was hosting races around the fountain of Haven.
Racers gave me 200cr bets and the winner gets all of the crowns betted by all the racing knights. The champion of the races was Tersakoff <<<

Right now, I have seen some of Guild LockDown tournaments threads. And recently I taught up of an idea to host the first ever Individual Lockdown Tournament!

To make this I need some support and cooperation from contestants who wants to participate.

Im also planning on either holding these to

(Reward!)

*Right now Im planning on letting 32 contestants enter and they will bet 10CE each, the winner will receive 320CE!

(Here is how the matches will occur!)

You guys are probably wondering how the battles will commence, this is the complicated part...
*First option is to either have the participants join a guild for them to be able to battle the other contestants.
We can use the guild Event Masters or Philippine Knights for this.
*Second Option is if you cant leave your guild for some reason like being the GM and you cant use an ALT cause of Steam or is just too lazy, I can ask my guildmates or friends to join your guild temporarily so that you can fight :)

(Here are the rules!)

1. It will be a 1vs1 battle, each battle will be decided with 5 duels, which means you have to kill your opponent 3 or more times.
2. You will only attack if you are told. I will be watching the matches and the rest of the players can either watch and promise not to interfere, or stay at the base.
3. If you ever attack without the signal or do something like cheating you will be disqualified!
4. Pay the bet before joining.
5. If your not online for maybe 3 days hence the start of the tournament, your match will be considered forfeit by you.

(Now for the support that you can give!)
*Im also planning on taking a video of the players matches, and post it on youtube! Which means I need a cameraman! :D
*This tournament will consume time and is a hard job for the cameraman so we need Sponsors!
urnaments 2 times every 3 months or just do one every season like Spring Tournament and Winter Tournament so 4 times a year.

What do you guys think?

I will list those who gave their bets here and are listed to be the contenders!

This is great! :D

I think this is a really good idea :D The first ever LD Tournament >:) Can't wait!

Fri, 01/27/2012 - 22:46

Musicsage

i'll join! ;)

Fri, 01/27/2012 - 23:35

Nergee

one big problem

might be tough to do, cuz once people see other people waiting in LD, they'll start joining up and make it hard for you to run your matches. because of the game mechanic of people needing to join a guild in order to get the controlled situation of GvG, it would mean you would be fighting other guilds with these teams for a bit and there would be no way around this, and you would just have to hope eventually you play the other team you are trying to play.

i think i would be interested in this MORTAL KOMBAT though! *cue music*

Fri, 01/27/2012 - 23:41

Whitelancer

No worries

That's no problem, I'll handle that.

First 80 knights to mail me 10CE will be the participants! Friend Request too!

Tournament will start as soon as we have 80 participants!

Ill join for sure.

It sounds fun nice idea Whitelancer :)
I don't think i can win this but I hope we get 80 people for this tournament.
I'll ask some people and let you know if they are down for this or not :)

Sat, 01/28/2012 - 03:19

Shidara

Decent idea, I suppose

However, I will not participate in this. Reason being that it isn't segregated by region. I am assuming that the tournament will be hosted in a US server, meaning that any EU players who've signed up for this will be immediately put at a disadvantage against the US players. Likewise, if it is hosted in a EU server it'll be the other way around. Therefore the tournament is flawed and I will not be participating in it. If there were two tournaments, one for the US side and another for EU then that'd be a different story, but it appears this is not the case. A US player and a EU player will never be able to fight on even grounds.

Interesting

I wouldn't mind recording this, but that would require me to be active in this game.

OOO/Sega should have really implemented a 3v3 (guild) and 1v1 (random or guild) version of this weeks after LD came out.+

Tennis actually signed up for laughs. We all log in to play random LD matches with an occasional FSC run and GvG match for fun. Sorry if people were expecting us to be in this, but shouldn't we have been asked if we were interested instead of randomly being listed first? I'm not trying to make people mad or anything I just don't understand why we were listed.

Chris, and Sciasz in the championship :D

From my standpoint, it looks like Sciasz was much more impressive then anyone else.
All the winners did well though.
Looking forward to watching some championship.

I agree with Rangerwill. Sciasz is probably like one of the top 5 players when it comes to Lockdown.

Seems cool and all, but once again all it does is showcase how weak bombs and guns are for PvP. They just aren't viable.

the fights are pretty awesome to watch, pity there isn't much differentiation gear wise... I'd like to see some gun uses pick off them toothpicks... or see what a striker bomber will do to a another xD. Great Idea Whitelancer, can't wait to see the overall winner.

Sciasz was boss with that footwork haha.

3 hit combo

I miss this event like some other players.

I guess I'll start playing this kind of events once OOO disable the autolock in Loockdown, All I saw in the video is people spamming the 3 hit combo, and I'm sorry I have to say it this way, but that crap is for noobs.

I saw that Sciaz was the only one who didn't spamm the entire match, the rest is hilarious.

Good job making this kind of events, keeps the game alive.

OOO please disable the aimbot once and forever.
