Tournament is over. Check first post for updates. I learned a lot and hope to soon another (better organized) tournament soon.

tournament starts now, get into my game.

Made some updates. Another 2 spots are still (again) open.

Alright! We are at 6 people now. I might close up registration at 8 players, otherwise schedule might get too tight.

Yes that worries me too. Do you have anything specific in mind?

Hey guys. I decided to host a small tournament. I see this as a test for future tournaments with more price money. Schedule: The tournament will be held on saturday the 5th of august 2023 8pm UTC. I will try to decide on a format so that the tournament will be over in up to 5 hours. Please do not forget to convert that to your local timezone. This should help: https://everytimezone.com/s/7a05a63e Price money distribution: 100€, winner gets all Maps: - classic terrace (with TL fix obv.) - Terraces redux decider (non vet) (remember to build UP in TR ) Format: - 1v1 - single elimination bo3 - no random - game 1 random spots, player 1 chooses faction first - game 2 switch spots, player 2 chooses faction first - game 3 on Terraces redux, random spots, both players choose at the same time (message to 3rd party) Sign up: Message me anywhere, in this forum, on the TS discord or in the cncnet client and I will add you to the list. Participants: 6/8 trooper, c0rpsmakr, foodlion, phatmouse, wonder, holland, tigerr, toprush Rules: 1 In-game rules 1.1 Please use common sense and do not cheat or abuse bugs. 1.2 Players who cheat or abuse bugs on purpose can be retroactively disqualified. 2 Spectating/Streaming/Recording. 2.1 Every game SHOULD be spectated by at least one “trusted” spectator and preferrably streamed and recorded for youtube. 2.2 Any game CAN be streamed and/or recorded by any player. 3 Technical issues 3.1 If a player disconnects before 3 minutes in-game time have passed (AND if they have not been scouted yet), the game will be remade. 3.2 If a player disconnects after that or after being scouted, the game will be automatically counted as a loss, unless the opponent allows for a rematch. Why at that time? I tried to find a time window that works for the most people. This specific window at least kind of works for the americans and europeans. I'm sorry I cannot please everyone. If you think I missed something or have any feedback in general, please feel free to share your thoughts. If you want to help me organize it or spectate/record/commentate games, I will appreciate it. UPDATES: We have another 2 slots open. Due to time constraints, the format will be single elimination bo3. Tournament bracket (spots will be shuffled before start) can be seen here: https://challonge.com/loy12vit Games will be streamed here: https://www.twitch.tv/slnjy Games will be uploaded here: https://www.youtube.com/@solts5746 If anyone else wants to stream and record, feel free. UPDATE 2: winner is decided, you can see results in the challonge link. If you don't want to be spoiled, I will upload to youtube as fast as possible, or you can watch the twitch vod: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1891069369 The winner refused the price money and I will donate it to cncnet tomorrow.

Oh right, I didn't even know about the event. Thank you I will think about it.

Maybe I am an idiot, but can you explain what exactly I am looking at here?

Hey guys I miss this game - I prefer watching over playing though! So my idea was to host a tournament, put some price money on it and if it is successful, maybe make it a regular thing. Right now I am in the brainstorming phase, so if anyone has ideas, please feel free to share them. This includes stuff like maps (terrace/other ww maps/vet maps), format (1v1/2v2/groups/double elim etc.), rules (every game must be streamed and recorded/uploaded to youtube from a spectator for example), price money distribution (50% for first, 30% for second, 20% for third for example) and scheduling (one weekend for all games or over a longer time where both players can schedule their games). Currently my plan is to make the first tournament 1v1 classic terrace for 100€, winner gets all. See how it goes and then maybe do a bigger one later this year. I have no clue how to do scheduling yet. So please help.

oh the irony

TLDR: If I lose, it was a bug and I automatically win.

I know. I have seen it, read it and linked it to other people more than once. The misinformation about vet still persists.

I have asked for patch notes for changes CNCNET has made, not vet. Also that list shows why Vet and balance patch needs to be split. Way too hard to find the relevant information.

#1: I do like most of the balance changes. Not because it makes the game more fair but because it makes the game less frustrating (a super-unit that needs the highest tech in the game is missing the most basic offensive/defensive unit? LOL?). #2: Balance is highly dependant on the map. Not convinced? Play a 1v1 on FF and then on Terrace (Nod v GDI). Tell me the dynamics are not completely different. #3: That being said, I am convinced that most maps in the current pool are Nod favored, but all Nod players are giga-shit except Mola. #4: I've seen ridiculous claims where people have clicked on the warning label in the lobby, the first thing they saw was ######## POSSIBLE CHEATS ######## The IQ value of GDI has been changed from Unknown to 0 The Edge value of GDI has been changed from Unknown to North The Allies value of GDI has been changed from Unknown to GDI The Credits value of GDI has been changed from Unknown to 0 The NodeCount value of GDI has been changed from Unknown to 0 The TechLevel value of GDI has been changed from Unknown to 0 The PercentBuilt value of GDI has been changed from Unknown to 0 The PlayerControl value of GDI has been changed from Unknown to yes and their reaction was "GDI UNITS HAVE BEEN SECRETLY MADE WEAKER!" (no joke). So where do we go from here? As most of us have taken long breaks of this game, it is sometimes hard for people (including me) to keep track of what caused what. ("Why is my mk walking? Is it because of cncnet? Is it because of the balance patch? Was it always like that?") ("Why are my harvs randomly getting stuck and going afk? That must be new from cncnet"). A lot of dislike that the vet/balance patch gets is totally misplaced and comes from rumours and disinformation. - Do NOT tie Vet & Balance patch to maps. Give us 2 seperate checkboxes for them and have them explained WELL somewhere. - Give us complete and comprehensive patch notes about any change cncnet has made to TS.
