maps announced on day i assume? is there tuscan?

Can we play our the rounds aswell please if we have the time because it could be critical when it comes to determining who qualifies for the finals.

pwoh 5 games in a row. its gunna b a long one

#2 theres no need to play out rounds (imo), and it will only delay the competition by a pretty significant and unecessary amount.

the 'Round Difference' (ie. total rounds won minus total rounds lost = RD) is a perfectly accurate and fair way of being the final determining factor in the case of a tie, but with head-to-head obviously counting first and foremost.

(all of the above is just my opinion, dno what the actual comp is doing)

Yer but #4 just say for example 2 teams are playing on train, Team A start as ct and wins the half 12-3, then on T the take pistol and win the match 16-3, as much as that team may have stuffed up earlier in the match they probably would have won 10 rounds on ct which could be a huge difference later on in distributing invites. Thats just my opinion i dont care what happens because min 5 games for $25 is the g so thankyou for the comp being ran.

yeah definitely don't play out the rounds. so just to confirm, it goes points -> head-to-head -> round diff?

yes, there is all the ifs/buts/etc, but at the end of the day both teams will play both sides of that same map, the only difference is the order you play it in (which for all intents and purposes is no different at all - you're still both given an equal chance its up to you to do what you will with that chance though).

You could quite easily argue that doing a 'round difference' instead of playing out rounds would even be MORE accurate, as it is 100% not common to play out rounds by anyone in australia's standards. The game ends over here at 16 rounds and thats that, anything after that teams will frequently screw around and it is meaningless.

I can gaurantee you in your train example, more often than not (seen it happen time and time again), should the team that loses 16-3 playout, they would be lucky to get more than an extra 2 or so rounds as they've already lost in their minds and the other team has all the momentum.

tl;dr - anything that happens after 16 rounds is pointless and irrelevant and will only (generally) skew match results even further than they already are (eg. 16-3's end up as 27-3's etc).

point taken.

and #6 jase, that is what i would suggest doing, yes :D, but u'll have to get confirmation from george (or whoever else is admining it if he's not)

what happens after the round robin? finals or just leave

and gl to all teams, it looks like its going to be a fun day :D cya all tomorrow

GL HF guys cya tomoz, enjoy the day!

hf everybowday

hope all that dry running hasnt been in vein speddyt

nvm! go elite monsteRrSss

gg nice games today

had fun :)

mad fun :D

ggs today welldone guts/LR/frag. our games were fucked smashed or got smashed no intence shit all day was pretty boring! more teams next leg please!

gg thanks all and yes #21 more teams next leg :D

gg, demos =D

russ looked fresh today... LOL

also to get more teams, get the rego's out early so everyone has time to schedule and gather players :)

^ just a suggestion

gg today guys! looking forward to the next comp. And yeh what chiz said give more notice.

This was by far my fav lan comp of been to, had a great day good value for money, expecially had alot of fun against .sc wouldnt mind a hltv there :)

gj

i think the main problem with this comp in terms of turnout of teams was that it is still exam times for alot of people, plus people are still shuffling around their lineups etc pre-nats. id imagine the next leg will get a very decent turnout, unless every team decides to die straight after nats LOL

also thanks to russ for holding the comp in like the most-fucked state ive ever seen anyone in ever LOL :S

i suggest everyone that attended today to get checked out for swine flue immediately

yeh next time I'm sure ill b on my A game

demos~!

i dont think what russ had was swine flu.. his eyes were puffed up hardcore which afaik has nothing to do with it. But either way it was fucked up :( felt so bad for him. Thanks heaps russ

yeh wtf was wrong with him? poor guy

Apparently kram has a sore back now after today, was it because i put a knife in it?

what #29 said.. man must have been a long day for russ lol

GG thanks all for the good games

you're back must be equally as sore #34

hopefully the demos worked!

I think DICE should get back and start getting some RL video clips up of people playing, some of dreamR yesterday would of been so hilarious. The shit he was doing all day was as funny as jnsie playing. Also heaps of pictures to keep the community interested and people who didnt attend the comp to see how it was etc. Would be good if you could do that again :P

Another thing, i believe the point system should be changed to a 3(win) 2(draw) 1(loss) format. This is because teams who didnt have any wins wont be on the same amount of points as some1 who didnt play in this first qual, because imo its unfair on teams like us and exult who pay the rego money basically for no advantage for teams who start to play in the next qual.

Thankyou.

i think ted makes a good point. pics and vids could show all those teams that didn't go what they are missing out on! Nevertheless, another #sublime comp ran by george and russ.

#40 i could be wrong, but im assuming its the placing that will count towards points, and you guys placed 6th = X amount of points.

wins/losses/draws etc will be meaningless come next comp as i highly doubt it will be anything other than double-elim unless there is a very poor turnout again

Thankyou for clearing that up for me dave and beedee :)

yeh it works like the gamapalooza forumla. eg. 1st = 9pts, 2nd = 8pts. etc. wins/losses only determines your placing for the leg

I so hope that hltv's are posted because my game against .sc was the best game ever, agreed kram, funboy and bl4nk?

It sure was dreamR my friend

I should also probably apologize to .sc because at times my behaviour was out of hand. but in saying that i only lan for pure enjoyment so i think you guys understand.

bad font is bad

Updates on the HLTV's?

But that means ill have no proof that i knifed kram at lan :(

P.S UNLUCKY JASTONE

who ended up playing in da-mighty?

burning

fix pc's - 40 fps just doesn't work.
