AoE3 Insight: New Years Invitational

  • Quote

Post by site »

aoe3newyearsinvitational.jpg


As the moon waxes and wanes and the seasons slip by, a lull has settled upon the competitive scene of Age of Empires 3. That lull will remain no more! It is time to brush the dust off of the edges of your seats, to fill up on salt, and most imperatively, to tune in to https://www.twitch.tv/esocsite to witness the first of many AoE3 Insight Invitationals!

Ladies and Gents, 2017 is going to bring to you an epic battle between 16 players ranging between PR 26 and PR 34. The terms on which these battles will be fought will differ from tourneys past in that YOU the viewers will have a very direct influence on the games that are played! While it is an Invitational, not every slot has been filled - so if you are interested in taking part in this I encourage you to let me know by commenting on this thread!

Rules:
[spoiler=spoiler]1.) All games will be streamed, casted, and recorded.

2.) All games will be completed within 2 weeks of being scheduled. If not completed, the winner will be selected by myself, based off of effort to accomplish the games.

3.) Each game the player to pick his/her civilization first will alternate.

4.) The next map to be played in a series will be determined by a live poll in the stream.

5.) Civilizations are locked after use until the tie breaking match if there is one. (Game 5 in a Bo5, game 7 in a Bo7, etc.)

6.) In case of a disconnect after the 2 minute mark, the player who did not lose connection wins.

7.) All maps will be checked for fair resource distribution, the map will be rehosted as many times as needed to achieve a fair setting.

8.) All maps will be UI 2.2 ESOC maps.

9.) Ro16 will be Bo5 matches. Ro8 will be Bo5 matches. Ro4 will be Bo7 matches. Ro2 will be Bo9 matches.

10.) All games will take place on the ESOC Patch.

11.) If site missed any obvious rules, you will point it out and mock him, and then he will fix it.[/spoiler]

Prize:
[spoiler=spoiler]For the first Tournament, there will be a $100 prize for the combatant who places first. Depending on how this plays out, I will possibly open the next ones up to a crowdfunding approach such as ESOC does with their official tourneys. You also get the pride of being awesome, and you really can't put a price on that. :love:[/spoiler]

Caster and Streamer Info/Signup
[spoiler=spoiler]As much as I would love to cast and stream every single game, I just might not have the time to stream potentially 83 games. I will entrust my stream key to any official ESOC caster and a select few others, assuming they are willing to install my bot and use the poll system. (It's really simple and I can guide you through it on skype.) As far as casting and cocasting goes, again any official ESOC caster may participate, as well as anyone listed on my #Certified CoCasters list on my Stream. If you are interested in casting alongside me, or even streaming off of my channel, PM me or let me know in the comments below.[/spoiler]

We will be aiming to start the first games of this Tournament by the end of January at the latest. The exact dates will be dependent on when the seeding is complete and the brackets are formed, and of course the case by case scheduling that comes into play with any Tournament.

Thanks again to everyone who has supported my streams and content so far, I look forward to seeing a successful and competitive tournament amongst the Medium/High PR range.

Sounds great! If you need any help from us please do tell! We can make a subforum for example. I've forwarded the casting message to the skype group with all casters.

Any idea who's playing yet?

I have sent out some PM's with the first batch of invitations. Some folks don't have the same ESO name as their forum name, so I'll have to send the next batch when I am fully awake and can think straight.

Assuming everyone accepts, we will have a nice variety of players who have participated in my streams in the past or played games with me in the past. Sort of trying to give back to the folks who helped me get started. This is sort of a half signup/half invite thing. I don't have a full list so anyone that falls in the PR 26-34 range or awfully close to it is welcome to sign up.

A subforum would be useful as well. Thanks for the support! :love:
