Would you like a winter or spring tournament?
Hey all
In may, we had a thread asking whether people rather had a summer or an autumn tournament.
The results of the poll were pretty close and the responses were quite helpful. It gave us insight in what the players and watchers currently find important and what kind of content they want. Some people argued for 4 seasonal tournaments per year, while others wanted one year big ass world championships.
I want to ask this question again to poll how you want ESOC to continue. The results of the poll and this thread are not necessarily what our plan is going to be, but it will definitely help ESOC make an informed decision.

Just want to clarify that giving your opinion in a post is a lot more important than just voting. So go out there and vote give your reasoning.

Winter would be better as alot of people tend go outside less and also there are winter vacations

Re: Would you like a winter or spring tournament?
I would like to see and participate in small weekend tourneys... Something like a handicap tourney for example.
It could also be a 3v3 tourney, where each team should consist of 1 player in the 0 - 10 PR range, 1 player in the 10 - 20 PR range and the last player in the 20 - 30 PR range. Maybe make it 10 - 20, 20 - 30 and 30 - 40 ranges instead.

Play during winter makes more sense than during nice spring days....
Re: Would you like a winter or spring tournament?
That is surprising to hear considering it is harder to build docks during winter.
Pay more attention to detail.

Re: Would you like a winter or spring tournament?
I like having 2 "main events" a year, and in between them we can try out 'beta' balance changes, with enough time to revert or change again before the next tourney. Since we are a small comunity, it takes some time to test changes, and if we make too many big tourneys, we might keep finding weird balance problems midway torneys often.
In the down time, small events can be held. Things using ideas that where discussed here recently, like the 'weird maps' thread of goodspeed or civ restrictions, etc.

Winter all the way. I'm not keen on playing when the weather is getting nicer outside.

Your winter is my summer. you northern savages.
I'm oppening a petition to have a tourney in January, but call it Summer Tournament.

Re: Would you like a winter or spring tournament?
While I understand winter is better as a season, don't you think it's a bit early? It would start in like 1,5 months, while the previous tournament only just finished.
Re: Would you like a winter or spring tournament?
placeholder winter event. big esoc tourney later in spring. last tourney just finished

Re: Would you like a winter or spring tournament?
Give the tournament staff a rest please.
Organising and casting these events is very draining for a lot of people. I think a bigger break between events is important to allow everyone to recover and for hype/anticipation to grow for the next event. Also I think this is an ideal length of time to 'test' balance changes

Anyway, nuancing isn't your forte, so I'll agree with you like I would with a 8 year old: violence is bad, don't do hard drugs and stay in school Benj98

Re: Would you like a winter or spring tournament?
I want three tournaments per year and a big-ass major. Or half-and-half. Unfortunately, since there are but two, winter makes no sense with the only other one just having taken place.
Re: Would you like a winter or spring tournament?
do 1 big ass tourney next year in winter and this year make small tourneys and change the meta slowly.
Re: Would you like a winter or spring tournament?
Also, wasn't there a lot of ESOC scheduling last time you did winter? Like, even more than the usual unusually vast amount.
Re: Would you like a winter or spring tournament?
Winter is a better time of the year, though right now I feel it's to fast compared to last Autumn tournament.

Mine finished three months ago - maybe more. As someone who doesn't follow the competitive scene at all, it's time for another tournament!

Exactly this. Too many tourneys lead to oversaturation for viewers, players and organizers.

Re: Would you like a winter or spring tournament?
Winter may well be a better time to host a major. I fully support this.
But going forward let's have a ~6 month break between the start of each event
