-The WINNER of each match will be responsible for sending Redkeekee a PM on the FML web-site with the results in this format: "Match: Player1 vs Player2, Winner: Player1 (2-0)"
-The WINNER of each match will also be responsible for e-mailing the replays from the match to Redkeekee for the replay pack to be posted afterwards.

-
also 9 AM EST?
some players are in cali you know, 6 am might hurt them..
Just make it a sat/sun event over 2 days, starting around noon est or something
-
I'll play if the maps arent dumb 1v1/2v2 maps. '
1v1 on Rock Quarry please kthx.
-
id like to play too but June the 9th is my birthday lol !
-
It will be bo3 to the finals, finals bo5.
I can increase the amount of players if there is an inordinate amount of interest.
I chose 9AM because there are more EU players than there are Pacific players.
I will decide on map pool closer to the date, but it will be from the standard 1v1 map pools.

and if you make it around noon-3pm est on a sat and a sun, that's only 6p-9p for most euros

If each round is a bo3 it will take a lot longer than 3 hours. Assuming each round is approx 1 hour and that there will be 6 rounds that's a minimum of 6 hours till finals are over. I'd rather start earlier so the EU people don't have to be on past midnight.

which is why we make it a 2 day event.

Every date you add doubles the possibility of scheduling conflicts. I'd rather keep it to a 1 day marathon-type event.
-
ask the players what they prefer
-
Oh shit. I thought by 9:00 you meant PM. I can't play if it starts at 9am, sorry!
-
Feel free to leave other suggestions you think more people might make it to and maybe I'll change it.
-
I'm in.

I don't have a problem with starting at 6 AM. Can't speak for other Cali players, but I personally don't give a shit.

Nah, I'll pass. Map pool isn't my style. Gimme Rock Quarry/Market Place/Stormguarde please, then I'll play :)

Either you overestimate yourself or you underestimate rain.
-
It's double elimination so... Even if your initial bracket pairs you with Rain or some GG player you get to play all the sucky ones.. errm ones that lost in the next round ^_^

The brackets and first map choices will be determined using a random bracket generator / me flipping a coin. And no, I shall not rig :icon_razz:
-
ok thanks :D
-
??? Q-veta is spelled wrong?
It was spelled as "Q-Veta" and you know it.

agh u caught me. i fixed it though! I didn't realize the capitalization was so important!

I know how good Rain is, my teams played against DKH twice back in the day. And yes he would stomp me in my current form. My comment was making a joke toward Iskes saying I would beat him and be facing Rain from the other side of the bracket :P

Found a cool website that you can embed a bracket onto forums and update it as you go. Pretty cool eh?
-
ill play if turny is on a weekend and not a weekday
-
It's on a Saturday at 9AM EST.
-
Bump!
Two things, first, I can no longer play in it because I'll be on vacation.
Second, all those signed up for the league team should sign up for this. Results in this will be considered for placement spots/solo ranking on the team.
-
I can't play this anymore because I will be going to MLG Anaheim.
-
Going to extend the signups for this 1 day, if an admin could please post a news item for me I'll be forming the brackets tomorrow. Last call!
