Future Tournament Idea
Future Tournament Idea
Hey all,
Was thinking about different invitationals the game could have and was thinking of a 2v2 tourney with a max PR limit - say combined PR of 50.
So teams would be made up of any two people but PR cannot exceed 50. Obviously I am partial to this idea because I am lower PR.
Thoughts? It is different at least.

Re: Future Tournament Idea
I suspect he means homecity level, and not PR.
Edit: I no longer suspect this.

Combined PR... between two people.
Edited first post a bit.

Re: Future Tournament Idea
Well Vane is pr50 so technically he could team with a pr0 or lower and still join the tournament if it happened. It'd prob still be too easy for him.

It's definitely worth looking into. Team tournaments have been popular with the Twitch viewer base in the past, so as long as one could get enough people to participate (tends to be slightly trickier at lower levels) , it would be very possible.
If you wanted to try running this yourself, you could almost certainly get ESOC to give you a space here to promote and host it. I know we have done this for other community events in the past, and I'm sure it could happen again.

Re: Future Tournament Idea
PR is such a bad rating system it's hard to do. I like the idea tho, similar to the treaty tournament.

Do you think ELO would be a better system to use?

Yeah, not sure what the ideal PR limit would be, Im sure there would be a decent turnout in my range (20-25).
Re: Future Tournament Idea
I like the idea, not sure if it would work in reality though. If it's based off max pr then anyone who has ever been above 33+ is going to struggle to have any chance either by not having a teammate willing to play, or have no chance of winning because their teammate is too bad. And without high level players playing you lose a lot of your viewership and player pool. Likewise it you went off current pr, then people who have decayed would automatically win or people would drop pr just to get a better teammate. For eg. Does H20 struggle to find a teammate or does he get ranked as a 1st Lieu as he is now. This would happen with almost all high players.
And if you raise the PR limit then you probably just end up with good players playing together anyway and the PR limit becomes irrelevant. Maybe a limit of 60 would work decentish but it probably just excludes a fair bit of the player base because many high ranked players won't want to team with someone below pr 25.

Re: Future Tournament Idea
Pr25 each would be a bit low probably though.
Re: Future Tournament Idea
Personally even if it does not have anything with PR :) haha I would like to see a championship with the 4 winners at the same time( bsop, h2o , lordrapha, samwise)
Unfortunately these champions are not always available because of their work or personal reasons:(

Re: Future Tournament Idea
Yeah make that Elo and it's worth a try imo. Although ppl might be downgrading their Elo (I do have some suspects in mind) it's the most consistent way of measuring I know of for aoe3

Considering its a tournament for low-ranked players, I don't think that would be an issue. There's only so high you can go before it just becomes a regular team tournament, which would kind of defeat the point.

Yeah, I think 60 max might be a better rule.
