I would switch one match in particular if both plan to play, Shotgun vs. Jesk in round 1? If only Round 2 keeps master tag that seems kind of silly. Assuming Braviet is going to be replaced with someone else in the near future here is my bracket


1. u8t3io3p
2. GreenAgenda

3. 00Joe
4. Alf-Attack

5. 00Logan
6. Braviet

7. BHC-Jesk
8. 00Steve

9.  Player
10. Sepi

11. Startale
12. Mystical

13. Knitterhemd
14. Medivh

15. Shotgun
16. Yamon

Yamon.. joe.. greenagenda. Mystical.. none are or ever have been tier 1. .. or tier 2... maybe by today's "tier 2" standards

Gotta fill spots tho.

Just shows how much game is dying.. there will come a day when spb is the best war2 player alive... because all the other good players eventually will quit.

I could probably find this out by digging back into older threads but GreenAgenda being in a tier one tournament is a very mysterious thing to me

Post by: tk[as] on October 03, 2016, 02:06:27 PM
By most standards.. only 2 maybe 3 of these players would have ever been considered tier 1 until recently
Title: Re: $100 Tier 1 tournament October 9th - November 6th
Post by: ~ToRa~ on October 03, 2016, 02:12:00 PM
@TK your such a cynic.

Who cares how war2 used to be. This isn't 2007 this is 2016, obviously this game won't have the same number of player that it once did. However we are constantly adding new players and old players are always coming back for some nostalgia.

As far as the bracket goes GA wants to play and believes he belongs in the tier 1 bracket. Why not give him a chance to see how well he will do. Its good to throw a few tier 2 players in the mix to let them practice against some tier 1s.

Post by: tk[as] on October 03, 2016, 02:14:24 PM
Why label it "tier 1" tournament of not even half the players are what most would consider tier 1..

We re did the tiers to show reflect our current player base.

Like I already stated this is 2016, we need to work with whats in front of us. There is no point in dwelling on the way things were.

Honestly I don't even care .. LB mentioned yamkn, and I saw at least 3 other players who do not fit in who yamon is probably better than in 1s.

tk why do you complain about everything?  tora is doing something nice and productive for the community.  it's better to fill out a few spots with lesser players than exclude a few players who belong and want to play.

Well that's relevant to your own weeping agenda but what I'm referring to is that GreenAgenda specifically would lose 10-0 to all the other tier one players listed.  Did someone get him confused with GreenPlastic (Joe)?  Has he suddenly become good?  What's up?
Title: Re: $100 Tier 1 tournament October 9th - November 6th
Post by: tk[as] on October 03, 2016, 04:36:10 PM
How is that good for my agenda? What is the difference between me saying some of those players are not on the same competitive level and you saying one is not? .. and while I agree green agenda is at the bottom of the list and there are other players that should/could easily replace his position in the tournament. .. I bet he could pull off at least one win against most of the other players, and probably 3-4 wins  (out of 10 games) against 2-3 of the other players.

Well the idea is that these are the "tier 1" players these days.  Your gripe is that "tier 1" has fallen from where it was in the past.  But what I'm saying is one guy specifically has been miscategorized.  They're totally separate things.  You're being cynical and negative about the whole endeavor where I'm just saying the 10th player could be someone else.

And by the way, Szwagier, Alf, JesK all used to be worse than me.  But they got really very good, it can't be denied.  It's not really a matter of the competition getting worse in some of these cases
Title: Re: $100 Tier 1 tournament October 9th - November 6th
Post by: tk[as] on October 03, 2016, 04:46:53 PM
We have the same gripe... you have just selected fewer players to gripe about.. and GA is no further from myst, yamon, or Joe in skill than any of those 4 mentioned are from alf, player, or knitter... in fact I watched knitter and GA play and GA lost the series, but definitely kept knitter on his toes.. this was about 3 weeks ago and I believe green agenda has been playing pretty consistently between then and now
Title: Re: $100 Tier 1 tournament October 9th - November 6th
Post by: tk[as] on October 03, 2016, 04:49:38 PM
Let it be clear that I did not mention any gripes about it until someone else mentioned yamon not being at the same level... which to me is silly to point him out when he's not even in the bottom 3 1v1 players on the list

It's not the same at all, because I'm not disappointed like Oh dear we used to have so many better players, I'm just saying Hmm slot in 00STEVE or whoever because there are lots of better players to choose from!

That said I missed Tora's post where he said GreenAgenda wanted to play and believes he can compete so I mean unless there's others mad about being left out then sure let's see how it goes.
Title: Re: $100 Tier 1 tournament October 9th - November 6th

Post by: Certified MENSA Genius Brain (smart) on October 03, 2016, 05:15:58 PM
fine, someone else then, like Koorb for example.  There's lots to choose from.  But as I said, if GA wants to be there and no one is salty about being left out then it's cool.
Title: Re: $100 Tier 1 tournament October 9th - November 6th
Post by: tk[as] on October 03, 2016, 05:23:00 PM
koorb is perfect example.. dude has been afk for like a year or more, logs on and will eat at least 5-6 of those players for breakfast.

the players on that list haven't gotten better.. their competition just stopped playing.

kinda takes a shit on the whole "tier 1" concept... and koorb has never been considered a tier 1 player.
Title: Re: $100 Tier 1 tournament October 9th - November 6th
Post by: tk[as] on October 03, 2016, 05:30:27 PM
i thought the whole idea of breaking people into tiers was to group people who were able to compete with other people

some of them are just flat out literally not able to compete with other people on the list in 1v1's

i think the tournament is a good idea... calling it a "tier 1" tournament takes away from actual tier 1 players is all imo ... if i had permission from my wife.. i could literally play 4-5 hours a day for a week and be able to compete in this tournament and i know damn well im not a tier 1 player and never have been.. even a tier 2.. i'd be lucky if i were ever considered tier 3... at least not prior to sept 2016

Like I already said we are focusing on players that are active and playing now. Not players that played 10 years ago. For 2016 I dont think its unfair to call this a tier 1 tournament. Not all the players in the bracket are tier 1. But they are all good active players

Would actually be cool if Equinox did take Braviets place.

Just cause if you look at the bracket it will show he would be facing Startale in the 1st round. So if he somehow won he would actually get Startale's Master icon.

Mystical and paperboy could probably verify.. they met up with him in Vegas a few years back I believe

He just has no interest in socializing imo. He is here to play war2 and that's about it lol

If Braviet doesn't respond in time, since this is more interesting with the maps, I would be willing to step in and throw your tier system a bit of chaos.  That is, of course, unless Startale fears the b2b matchup :)

Im talking to Viruz right now so I am hoping he agrees to step in.
 But if you want to play you may be able to take Mystical's or 00steve's spot. Just because neither one of them have forum accounts and thus its difficult to get a hold of them.

i was in game when i saw "you're friend 00kyle has logged...."      (dont get it twisted, we're not really friends.. but we're aware of when eachother logs on known accounts) so it wasnt really stalking

More like GL to viruz cause he's gonna need it. Viruz only at 10%, he needs to be at 50% to beat Startale.

Viruz

Good luck to viruz and startale in round 1

Nice, the return of Viruz! Make sure you stream ST!

On a side note I'd be happy to sit in and record tourney matches for anyone who can't stream (can pm my mousetopher bot anytime and I'll see it if I'm at my pc, or pm me on discord). It'd be nice to record as many matches as possible and save them all together in a youtube playlist, more than one person I know of has expressed interest in that.

Shouldn't do random resources on a couple of maps, GoW classic is one example--the spots are too uneven for low and medium.  Just need to be selective about the maps--most maps it would work great.

Sepi will lose his master icon yes.

He is banned until he clams down. Whether that takes 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month, or 1 year. Its up to him how long he will remain banned for.

Furthermore we will not be removing master tags from players that played and lost.
We will be removing master tags from players that were unreachable or unwilling to play.

The whole commentary came about because one of lux's irl friends was going to watch the stream.  Figured he'd have more of an idea of whats going on if I share my limited knowledge on water than having no clue what he's watching at all.  There were some casts of a few garden of war games after that I enjoyed talking about.  Had a few people that enjoyed it so it may be something I continue to do from time to time.  I'd like to promise the lame jokes won't continue but I'd be lying.  I really enjoy telling horrible jokes for my own amusement knowing how they'll be taken.  Anyway, thanks for the input.

Why is each round a series on 1 map?

If the intent is to prove who is the best all around player, isnt the better way to do it to have each round a 'best of' series on different maps? Can be the same for each round but it equalizes ability across maps and ensures the better well rounded player should win.

(EG - i dont know if 00whatever is the truly better than Virus but hes definitely better on FOC. Doesnt necessarily mean he is better across maps and therefor the better well rounded player)

To be honest this month long tournament seems like a good idea in theory. The idea was to give players the ability to play on their own time. I did try my best to coordinate with all the players via pms and Facebook. Players like Viruz, Lux, knitterhemd  and a couple others were very postive in their responses and did play

 Unfortunately there has been too much dodging and excuses from many of the other players, for these reasons we will be suspending this tier 1 tournament will further notice.
It seems we will have to go back to making it a 1 day 2-3 hour affair.

I would give it through the weekend Tora. It seems the biggest problem is the different time zones especially with work. It worked out well with Viruz and I because we are the only 2 that are in the states that played each other. Weekends should free up more time for players.

I am free to play Friday anytime, but I never knew szwagier was a lying tard like the other pollacks on this game. You asked me what time and I stated it, mouse was right there. Maybe you did not understand time zone IDK

this tourney is way too long and so many people are dodgers.

it would have been much better if you threw in some t2 players (who are actually active),
made the series 3 different maps instead of Bo3 on one map
map pool should be something like GoW, PoS, and B2B, maybe maps like GWN or Dark Paths

this way it would be more conclusive of a good wc2 player. Playing a water map like FoC is ridiculous because most pro players don't even play water maps...

tournament shouldn't be a month long. if you can't play cause you're too busy with irl then your basically a retired vet. Why not host a tourney for the new talent?

just my 2c  :-\

To be honest this month long tournament seems like a good idea in theory. The idea was to give players the ability to play on their own time. I did try my best to coordinate with all the players via pms and Facebook. Players like Viruz, Lux, knitterhemd  and a couple others were very postive in their responses and did play

 Unfortunately there has been too much dodging and excuses from many of the other players, for these reasons we will be suspending this tier 1 tournament will further notice.
It seems we will have to go back to making it a 1 day 2-3 hour affair.

Another problem was that you set players for a tournament without even asking them resulting in having inaktiv players and players who don't like the maps/format.

An alternatively format that worked pretty well in like 2012(?) was a league format. Everyone can just play everyone and gets points based on results. Thats an highly motivating and fair format. Non-top players can try to get a good ranking when they are very active for example. This again rises the questions why we don't have a motivating (for example elo style) ladder system yet. Remember all of them newbies in wc3 trying to climb the levels and collect avatars lol.

My opinion on different maps
Most non gow maps have very little variation if you play them at a high level. That said, for me bo5/bo7 is pretty boring on most non gow maps because it either results in repetitive games (small-med rush maps) or in long ass late games (big maps / sea). I prefer loser picks next map (for example from a certain map pool) and random res adds even more variation. Different predefined maps in a boX is fine too.

The problem is with a league its very difficult if not impossible to keep track of all wins/losses of something like a league.

The ladder is not a good representation of where players stand among the community. Unfortunately the ladder is full of smurf accounts and is easily manipulated.
There is no real solution to this problem.

As far as not including players in the discussion I don't believe that is a fair assertion. While its true I didn't ask Jesk specifically what maps he wanted to play and which he didn't. I did request feedback from players for weeks before starting the month long tournament. KOTH probably was the way to go I won't disagree with that.

it's not hard to track scores, the winner has to report the score in a topic. last time i think i did an excel sheet with % win ratios n stuff. but that's just a suggestion

i don't care what kinda formats you host, but getting auto-set in a tournament and kinda getting forced to play is just strange.

€found the sheet
just trying to give suggestions and maybe improve stuff, don't feel attacked.

This again rises the questions why we don't have a motivating (for example elo style) ladder system yet.

ELO ladder is a nice idea, several people have brought it up, e.g. Jos has made the point that it would make it much easier for newb's to find players their own level to vs. I'd like to and am reasonably certain I can make it happen, just a matter of finding the time.

Unfortunately there has been too much dodging and excuses from many of the other players, for these reasons we will be suspending this tier 1 tournament will further notice.

Way ahead of you, hopefully they will play tomorrow.

Also hoping I can get Lux to play Alf-attack or player this weekend. Just haven't gotten a chance to msg any of them yet.

That's a good idea. Just setting up scheduled matches between opponents. Time to practice, and get some build up with the community, and friendly or cash bets!

We're happy to hear all suggestions jesk.

Would players need to report wins/losses themselves? I have little faith in most players keeping track of their wins/losses. Unless we could add a sign up page for players and have the server automatically track thier wins and losses I dont think it would work.

What are you guys talking about. Lux has a good shot at beating u8 on gseps.

Post by: Swift on October 22, 2016, 05:05:13 PM
That has nothing to do with the tournament. The matchup would take place on gseps, and if you have to give the odds to anyone it could possibly be slightly in favor of Lux. Lux had a good chance of getting by both viruz and u8.

u8 has always been average at straightforward rushing maps

ive been owning szwagier on them before he was cool.

Okay maybe i exaggerated a little

We don't plan to leave Lux hanging he will get a match up with a cash prize if he wins.

The tournament itself has already been broken apart due to players not playing each other for whatever reasons. We can't just give out byes to everyone like we did in Ro1. Which is why its been suspended.

We've already sent out pm's to Shotgun, Swagier, Statale, Alf-attack, Lux, Player and Jesk explaining the situation.

We've also given them the option to play among themselves in KOTH matches for cash prizes.
U8 and SG we did set that up as a exculsive match due to interest in the community, but that shouldn't be interpreted as SG and u8 somehow being better than the other players.
