Mini Masquerade 2v2 Smurf Tournament
« on: July 09, 2025, 05:35:23 PM »


Hello everyone! Another tournament from Ember is coming!

Where: RU server
When: July 11, 2025 9:30 pm EDT
Instructions: Let me know in advance you want to participate to get an idea of numbers for planning. On the day, come in disguise with an aka no one knows.

Map Pool (attached to the post as an archive):
Vans Chaos Dojo, Mini Plains of Snow, Fun House, Party at Midnight BNE, Death House, Troubled Waters, Yule Blot, Fight for the Middle Nox, Hotcakes, Blood in the Arctic, Combat Zone, Tic Tac Toe

Map Selection:
Every map must be played one time by anyone in this event before any map can be played a second time by anyone. Map selection goes to whichever team answers a math question fastest. Once any team has selected a map for a battle, it’s removed from the pool. After all maps have been played once, the pool will refresh and it will be used again using the same rules.

Teams:
You will be assigned a smurf ally. Teams will be assigned in order of arrival on the day of the event. Ie. 1 & 2, 3 & 4, and so on. If someone who arrives vanishes, a new partner will be assigned if one is available.

Emergency Subs:
In the event of an ally dropping out from the event (rage quit, power outage, needing to take care of kids, etc.) one replacement max. per team will be allowed only out of the pool of people who did not yet participate in the tournament, if a player is on hand and ready to play when the next match begins.
A 10 minute timer will be applied to MIA players of unknown whereabouts, after which that team will be marked as having lost the match if there is no sub ready and willing to take the place of the missing player.

Cheating:
Not allowed. HD permitted. Black to pink begrudgingly tolerated. Anything that lets you know what your opponents are up to such as map hack, start spot hack, tipping, stream sniping, are all strictly forbidden. And lame.

don't quite understand it.
It's a smurf tournament but I'm supposed to register in advance? Doesn't make much sense.

European players are not allowed to play?
You mean they can play, but probably won't because it's a stupid time?

Coming from someone who used to host the Halloween Smurf tourneys, it worked best for me that, to get paid, you had to reveal yourselves at the end to everyone. Kind of made it more fun imo. I guess you could just have the payments to people in private too. People want to know who won though. Everyone else was optional.

I can't remember all the opponents exactly.
But it was a lot of fun, you never knew what to expect.

I remember the first round.
I thought to myself, you can't lose to a couple of noobs in the first round.
Later it turned out the first round was u8/alf.

Having glimpsed at previous smurf tourneys, I'll add that smurf names should be appropriate. Ie. Not genitals/body parts/emissions/acts, curse words, racist, or occult-related.

I expect some stream viewers of young age.

Yes, I personally like them more than normal tournaments. You can't play off people tendencies which means you have to 100% play legit.
