The tournament run was a good success. We had a great turnout since the devs helped fix the arnea, and there was some cool terrain there with spinning top structures. We had an awesome turnout consisting of 10 teams, which made 20 people in TOTAL . That's a upstart from the 12-15 we have normally.
Everyone was invited on the 62nd vent, again during this I ask people to put aside political affiliations.
Here were teams( excuse me for spelling errors ):
Xelobain / Tux ( 62nd / 62nd )
*Ulthroth / Mako Valley ( nWAR / nWAR )
Hiyate / Mara Kaid ( nWAR / 62nd )
Doob / Whys ( M2S / M2S )
*Tiberius / Gut ( FOOM / FOOM )
*Snuggles / Mokaa ( 62nd / 62nd )
*Kynes / Burro ( 62nd / TOG )
Kanogi / Jean Miquelle ( 62nd / 62nd )
Lairon / blindspot ( no corp / no corp )
ltsy / dark fox ( I forgot corps here, sorry ltsy )
Quick Match Summaries/Stuff I remembered while organizing:
We had so many this time that I made 2 brackets, one for experienced and one for NEW players.
Experienced Bracket
-------------------
Hiyate/Mara kaid vs xelobain tux ( yagel prom ) vs (castel prom) - The castel prom is a deadly combination since it can be fit heavily on the prom with a good tank and the castel can flutter about doing dps. Thus the force has to concentrate on a tanked ship while a somewhat decent dps rains damage upon them. That was the trick here i think for tux/xelo. It did well as I went down fast, since I was trying a newere setup/idea based on a previous tournament. However my opponent in a tanked/damage yagel helped us out to pull us to victory.
Doob/Whys vs Kanogi/Jean -( castel/prom ) vs (prom/yagel) Doob and whys had some kind of very high damage output on their bots, and either kanogi/jean's tank wouldn't stand well and the matter was quickly resolved with a fast kill.
Lairon/Blindspot vs Ltsy/Dark wolf - I didn't get to see this but props to the people. winner was lairon/blindspot. Both these teams came in very late
final round for experienced player match:
doobs whys vs lairon blindspot - Doobs and whys won again, and their fit seemed to work well.
winners of the experienced round are: doobs/whys. They gave their loot to lairon and blindspot.
Young players/small ep Bracket
------------------------------
The players above that were in the youngbracket I have starred in the teamlist. The purpose of the young bracket was to match low ep/younger skilled players( or inexperienced ones ) against others. snuggles is a great guy and does logistics for us, so I threw him in to the sharks.
snuggles / mokaa vs Kynes / burro (prom/castel) vs (prom/yagel) - Snuggles and mokaa did a good job of concentrating fire here. I'm not sure if the opposing team did that. But they put up a good fight.
winner was snuggles mokaa
Tiberius/Gut vs Ulroh/Makoo Valley (prom/castel) vs (yagel/castel) - Tiberius if you want to post on this and give me your view of the fight that would be good. I believe in this case Ulroh/Makoo Valley won!
*I had a new team mustang/dhaz enter at that point in which I put them against snuggles/makoo valley. Snuggles team was the winner.
final new round:
Snuggles/Makoo vs Ulroh/Makoo Valley - This was a close good match. Ulroh and Mako valley came out on top.
Prizes:
I had a pot worth total of 18 mil. 9 mil was given to the 2nd ranking winners of the experienced bracket.
9 mil was given to the winners of the young player bracket. The young player bracket winner also recieved
a castel mark 2.
Thanks to the developers for helping construct the arena. Thanks to whys and helps from others for watching.
I will do this next weekend.
IF YOU WISH, I WOULD LIKE PEOPLE TO POST THOUGHTS/REFLECTIONS on their battles, so new players could read this and
figure the game out more.
(lol I myself tried a new fit I saw a guy do in a previous tournament so I wasn't as skilled as normal ie
lwf prom for distance with lr ammo )
PROPS TO GMS FOR ANNOUNCING EVENT.
I have pictures for further.
