Hi yes hello, I have taken over the CS:GO Tournament. Most things are remaining the same, probably all things. I might tweak a bit, but I'll keep it up to a discussion among the people participating. I have reached out to almost everyone to see if the current list is up to date, and we'll go from there. As it stands, I think we stand to need another 9 people to have a perfect bracket, so if you guys want to spread the word around to people you know that may be interested but aren't into the forums, that would be great.
Date: 12/10/2022
Rough start time: around 1-3, I'd say, at current we're doing about 7 long games, this could last until pretty late still, depending, but I imagine it'll end around 7-9 at that pace.
Where: In Dink's discord. There will be two team chats. I've not decided exactly on how we want to do the spectator chats, as there are various things to consider. We could do one thing for all the spectators, with one or two people streaming, and have it town hall style where people have to raise their hand to speak, but that would be cumbersome and take the banter and fun out of it. We could shove 30 people into a call and try to do it that way, but that seems to break streams at times, and has the potential to make it hard to hear. We could split it into two rooms of spectators, but then that might decrease the enjoyment some people get if they can't watch with their friends. Input would be nice here, since it's likely going to be bigger than both OW2 and Multiversus in terms of amount of people and what all we want to achieve with it. Another idea I had was streaming from twitch and someone streaming that in the discord for at least my team's games, so we can get the team chats in as well, but there's obvious issues with that too.
Map rotation: I think each round I want to do a wheel system. Each team gets to ban one map (predetermined, so there may be overlap) and choose one map to show up twice on the wheel, as their preferred map. If preferred map is picked by both teams, it shows up 3 times. If a map is 'banned' by a team, but it's the preferred of the other team, it shows up once still.
The rotation is as follows:
-Dust 2
-Nuke
-Cache
-Mirage
-Inferno
Picking Teams: Everyone on the original post, aside from a few I know are participating, should have gotten a message from me asking if they are participating. If you did not, please reach out. If you later decide you need to back out, please reach out. I'm definitely accepting more people, as well. I haven't fully decided exactly on how teams are decided. I honestly might just let people prepick, and sprinkle in extras around the prepicks. I also entertained the idea of letting everyone have a prepicked team of 3, and then doing a sort of captain thing after that, as some people won't have any desire to play with people they're not already comfortable playing with, so there needs to be some give here. I even think doing full team captains won't be entirely fair, so I think I'm going for a more fun way. Taking suggestions here too.
Prizes: Nothing as of yet, but I've reached out to admins of each server and Jammin about potential prizes, so I'll update this later if there is anything to update
tldr tournament pls join i want 40 people and a few alternates who will definitely be there
