!Seasonal tournaments (Poll)!

Post by QueenOfdestiny »

What would you like?
More different content with small tournamts and some new content or better just 2 simple big season tournaments and less small stuff? Or just like 3 of them.
Just group and brakets im talking about here.

Different conteent would be things like:
2v2 tournament
A high lvl tournament only (can't tell details now sadly)
Weekend tours
Others

We talking here about standard tournaments with 1 group stage and brakets.
shit juice :hmm:

2v2 tournament !
In general, multiple small events with different content and 1 or 2 season tournament.

I like more diversity with 1 seasonal.
Some small weekend tours and a lot of other things would be cool. But let's see what we all want!

I would love to see something like a league with the top 20 players, they could play each week-end like a saturday smackdown.
Also nobody is eliminated after loosing a serie in this format so player can probably do their Best without any pression.
Then its possible to extend with a small tournament for the 1-4 for exemple

I dont speak about this to be there instead of a big tournament but rather instead of esoc small tournament

We plan on something like this with top players.

Saturday smack down is not a thing for esoc atm. Interject will do it on his channel soon :flowers:

But we will bring back other streams like
Mu if the month
Noob champion
But this will be without price

I'm confident that it should be possible to have our own smackdown if we put in some serious effort. If more people want that above small tournaments, we should definitely try it.

Do all three and halve the prize pool, or make it $1000 at most.

Could you allow people to change their votes, btw? Or is there a reason this isn't enabled?

I'm sorry for the bad explanation.
What we mean with this poll is standart bracket tournaments with a group stage befor.
The media team have a lot of great ideas. But your voice "the community and donors" is very important to us and we don't want to decide what we plan for next year without your opinion.

This poll is only for seasonal standart tournaments.
Use this thread viewtopic.php?p=333988#p333988
For tournament ideas.

I don't think with 3 seasonal tours we can make something special or just a few weekend tours between.
Each seasonal would take around 12 weeks with signups. Please take this into account.

Yeah we have ideas on this but when we go for 3x standart per year we might not have time for new things

Imo the best would be 1 big tournament with a big prize pool. 1 season with weekend tournaments leading up to a grand finale. Results in this season count toward the big tournament seeding.

Some showmatches or small events with more experimental gameplay such as no cards aoe or only age2 or only fi vs fi etc.

Clearly this is not a factorial poll for seasonal tournaments.
Pay more attention to detail.

I might play in tournaments this year since I have more time.
My opinion is that seasonal tournaments, although they're great, are just way too long. It's impossible to commit for 2 months, and at some point in the tourney, you have to stop practicing and the level of play drops.
I guess it's still necessary to keep one, because people want big tourneys, but I'd rather have 1 week-end tourneys.

I think that from a player point of view, 1 week-end tournaments with between 8 and 16 players is the best format, as you still play some BO3/5.
I understand that it's hard to pick these 8-16 players, that's why leagues could be considered, but these events would still need a regular prize :P

It has been a problem in previous tournaments but If i am not wrong, in the last, all games in elimination bracket have been played in a 1month-period, really nice. So lot of improvement on this side and i hope be scared of the duration will not prevent good players to sign up for the next.

Tbh I'm not sure I'd play a 2 months tournament.

That's why he's saying that the previous tourney was basically 1 month, especially if you don't have to play the group stages etc

the cost of a major tournament is high, and I dont think we can fund more than one every year.
there is alot of mini tournaments going on, and I kind of like them ;)
I think we would have to skip the mini tournament, if we where to choose 2 big ones every year.
That is why I voted for one major tournament every year.

Thanks for all the contributions by the way :love:
