| An idea: Unreality Tourney |
|
|
|
I know OLBIII is going to happen soon, but I haven't seen any definitive dates.
I've been working on an idea about hosting a tournament. I've already made a site with a signup system and some other goodies.
Since OLBIII is going to be 4v4 format, would there be any interest in, say, 2v2? 3v3? An idea I had was to make it a combination of all TDM and Duels. Picture this: Round robin is 4 groups of 4 teams each, and each team plays 4v4 format. Top 2 from each group advance to an 8 team single-elim bracket, where the first round is played 3v3, second 2v2, then the finals are best 2/3, and the teams play a combination of 1v1/2v2/3v3/4v4?
Or would it just be better to stick to 4v4 all the way? 2v2 all the way? Also, I want to do this before q4 comes out, but I don't want to impede on OLBIII.
Discuss thoughts here, please.

This sounds sort of like Saito's Ironman DM. I think its a cool idea, mixing parts of TDM and 1v1. But, if anything, I think it should increase, 1v1 -> 2v2 -> 3v3 -> 4v4, as the rounds go on.

Problem with that is, the later the night the less people will still bother to be around (at least that's what I felt). Perhaps I have it wrong.

Maybe, but have it start early and last a few nights. Like 8 pm, 2 rounds the first night, 2 rounds the next. Something like that.

Another thought: are people usually more willing to do these kinds of things on weekdays, or a weekend? It seems people go out on the weekends, even if they said they'd participate. Make me think a weekday might be a viable option.

I'd leave out 3v3, it's garbage. But I've wanted to do something like this for a long time since ESL did it in euroland, so I imagine we'd play in it.
As for day... I don't really know. Sunday nights are TAM league matches for TWL, otherwise I'd say that. Early in the week would probably work.

Yeah, most people got rid of 3v3 which makes sense, then makes the maplist easier to manipulate.
I was thinking mon/tues for the whole tourney. round robin first, all the rest the next day.

Sounds good, weekend is bad for most people. And I agree with DP, 3v3 is kinda crappy.
