General DiscussionDotabuff EU Amateur Series Starting

Why the fuck group 2 is so OP ?

(btw guys dont pick enigma against group 1, seriously dont )

Aww yiss, Sate is mein.

Skill rank differences will make the match hard for some. Would suggest two of the higher skilled teams playing out each other earlier on to eliminate one of them.

Rank by High - Low. (an average based on the ranks I know)

Team 2. 5000+ rank team
Team 5. 4800+ rank team
Team 4. 4200+ rank team
Team 6. 4100+ rank team
Team 3. 3800+ rank team
Team 1. 3500+ rank team

That is a good possibility yes, also shame we didn't add up 2 additional teams, would be nice to get them incorporated and maybe add some prizes.

A remind once again, I know you hate me guys, but try spamming reddit or anything other info channel and lets add these 2 additional groups to the tournament!

It's definately going to be fun :)

Can my ~2,4k potato bracket team join? I don't expect a win seeing skill level of others but we might as well go for it.

You would play vs your coach? Damn you to heck.

^^^^ i swear our team (team 1) is actually like 3000+ or something

+ team 1 needs to all add each other and practice or something before the date, I wanna see the skill level of my team.

added and banged.

I think a BOw group stage of 2 groups with 3 matches each with the winner going to the semifinals and the losers battling each other. so basically

A1, A2, A3 and B1, B2, B3: 3 member groups are a bit bad because it's easy to go 1-1-1 so that's why I said BO2… :/

so A2xB3 and B2xA3

Winner of A2xB3 fights B1, winner of B2xA3 fights A1

and the winners are in the finals

I would call for a 6 groupstage but that seems it would take way too much time because 15 matches.

let's see if we can wait for 2 more teams first so we can do simple BO1 single elimination (or even double elimination if possible) with the finals being BO3 or smth

EDIT: 7pm GMT+1 will kill me because I'm GMT+8. But I guess I'm the only guy in this time zone so I don't matter haha

The tournament stages should be set out like this - http://challonge.com/tournaments/bracket_generator?ref=KcMmrDcEHt

Sounds good Yoshi. I will be occupied tho on sunday cause of the b-day party (so if we play then, we have Satellizer ready to jump in), but i hope we play on Saturday.

not with free byes

Alright guys, first of all I'd like to thank you all for the imput, It's very appreciated.

@Moosey
Ofc you can join, just list in the names and ill update the roster

@!yiran
ah, that sucks mate, but considering also Hurricane has a busy schedule we might want to setup a different day/time, we could give the teams 1 week for practice even if you guys feel like

@Yanagi
Thats a nice template there mate, I've seen it somewhere before, would be cool if you could setup something similare once the teams roster is fully updated, I'd love it.

Also, I can already join now for some practice if you guys feel like

@Dang
I'll accept your request as soon as i see it in game no worries

@all
I think would be good to have a teamspeak server setup if someone has it already so teams can join in for practice/tournament games
Also, i might come up with some additional prizes for 2nd and 3rd position, sorry once again for not being able to afford much

@yoshi I think there should be multiple ts3 servers available but some may prefer skype or raidcall.

@Havoc
Yes sure, why not, I might have one TS3 available, but I'm not sure we can use it, gotta ask.
Otherwise skype ofc, didn't think about it :)

just carried chris on EU
~203 ms
playable

@edit:
also, can we donate to increase the prize pool?

Just put this on twitch tv namsayin xd

Okay, there maaaaay be some changes in roster but for now it's(they're all on dotabuff):
Me
Armada.Riflekiller
Lupix
Hammura
Setokaiba

Edit: So rifle can't join, he can't take a day off to join. I'll post again when I get finalized roster.

@Satellizer
It would be nice to get some sorft of group donations so that we can increase the pool ofc. But I don't feel much asking for money.
What i find good is to get on Teamspeak all together, everyone, and discuss the little details, it could be a first time for dotabuff.
I am really open minded :)

@Moosey, updating your roster in the list now, just one more team to go!

EDIT:
Moosey dont worry, the time and day schedule is still not set in stone, we can change it.

Where do I sign up?

Where is the SEA version?

/cry

depending on my schedule I might just give Satie my spot if I have no time to play before sunday

let me know your favourite times guys

@Raven/shinji
Do you have a 5 man team, do you wish to be the captain of one or do you want to join someone already grouped? :)

@Pissed | Wizard
I really wish we could setup a SEA one too, shame the pings are very high for most of us, but i might help you if this tourny goes well, why not :)

fucking hell, i have ear canal inflammation in both ears, been in bed 5days (no doto:( )
if im still suck at saturday, vanart will play instead of me. :c

NO WITHOUT V-GOD WE HAVE WAY LESS CHANGE, NOT FAIR. Jk, we got this boys.

We got a little roster change, instead of Armada.Riflekiller, we recruited Slocknog.
So, roster change. Perma. Yay

@Moosey
Done

@Vrok and others
We can let the practice flow for 1 week and begin the tourny the next one

Back to square 1: new guy quit, had a bad game with us, back to square 1, why does this always happen when i try to make a team...

team #2 so op,
where can I bet rarez

I'd prefer joining an already existing team. I don't really have the means necessary [size=8](a.k.a. I have no friends)[/size] to set up a team and I suck at being captain, so there's that.

"We can let the practice flow for 1 week and begin the tourny the next one"

Sounds very nice, i agree.

We've the the 8th team full, I'll update the roster soon.
In the meantime more teams are still welcome!

@Shinji
added to available players list! (take him, he's nice :) )

@Hurricane
Glad you like it mate, that way everyone i think will be happy

@all
A friend of mine has a russian team willing to join, I'll update the roster soon

@moose
same with you, I'll update the roster soon again mate

this is turning way too tryhard.....

Why sampson?

It's fun and good someone here actually wants to make something happen. I commend you for that Yoshi.

If there was no people like you, a place like this would be A4, and less exciting. I'm looking forward to watch the Tournament, ggwp Dangosihfanboy

Heh, thanks Dang, appreciate it.
I just like the community to grow and feel good :)

Would be cool if someone wanted to do some commentary on these game. Maybe stream on twitch or somewhere else.

@))
We got that covered, no worries :)

Just a suggestion but i think team names would be funny rather than just, team 1 team 2 etc.

vroksnak pretending to be sick so he has an excuse if he sucks

stickied!

O.o

Wow this makes absolutely no sense... Team 2 can probably qualify for TI4 if they go try real hard...

Was looking for my post just to find it stickied, this is very nice, thanks guys :)

@Yanagi
Team names would be awesome, so make sure to come up with something fancy, a logo would be nice too, so if there is any skilled Photoshopper out there, bring them on!

I'd still like a mods team, would be really cool! so mods dont be shy :))

Sampson + 4 is our official team name

so you decided to form a team for yourself?
I'll update the roster once you've got 5 guys, no worries

no the name of the team is

'Sampson + 4'

Edited as you requested

excellent

4FS!! 4FS!!

4FS is better cause then my name also becomes relevant #somanysams
