Tournaments (ETPro)

[Fatal]

Just a quick one seeing as the last tournament hasn't seemed to go ahead and it got a lot of attention i thought i'd ask a quick question on who would be interested in a Tournament going ahead in ETPro?

 

Seeing as F|A have 3+ ETPro servers not going to much use at the moment i can see this being a good way off picking up popularity in them and if organised correctly benefitting the clan with even more people coming through not only the ETPro servers but also using the Public NoQ/Silent/Jaymod servers as well.

 

Obviously i would love to get involved in this and help out and having experience in helping run tournaments back in my .55 days (ETW 6o6 tournaments) i know i'd help out massively and know all the best ways to keep everyone happy.

 

I don't know what happened the the tournament that was meant to be going ahead, hopefully it still does as i heard it had quite a lot of teams sign up so it must be a good idea too quite a lot of you?

No, you are just going to waste your time on this, ppl do say they are interested, but when the time to play will come, they are not.

At the moment there are actually ETPro tournaments going ahead with cash prizes, and they've got a hell of a lot of attention? Also another clan who owns a etpro server have hosted a 3o3 tournament and its getting a lot of attention, like i said if ran correctly it will be successful

Well idk man, I wouldn't go as far as saying it's a waste of time. Some definitely do this for sure and I understand your point, but that isn't right for those of us who have an active interest in setting some of this up. It seems like everyone was down for the last one, it just straight up didn't happen because the organizer(s) wound up saying nothing. I'm sure there was a reason, but still. It wasn't because people weren't down to play.

 

Fatal, if you set up something I'd be more than happy to help in any way I can <|:^]

Awesome, obviously i would want it to be through F|A but not being a member yet probably doesn't help hahaha, but i'm happy to get involved with this as much as possible as well, hopefully some of the higher up guys saw the interest in the last one that feel through and with their help we could get one set up and if successful maybe keep them on going through out the year.

 

I have many ideas and ways to get people involved and i know Cheep was also down to back me on this as well!

 

EDIT:

 

For all the jay/noq/silent guys who love OBJ play as well this would be perfect, grab 5 of your ET mates and be involved in games surrounding completely OBJ play

snatix' tournament is probably still going to happen, just needs to reorganize the dates. Dont wanna put words in his mouth so dont take this for a fact, but I am pretty sure he doesnt wanna give up on it.

 

If you wanna organize something you are more than free to do it. assuming you are not using F|A's name to host the tournament you are more than free to host whatever you want as an individual. But if you do want to host it through F|A you obviously do need permission. Deathbringer hosted a small 3o3 ODC and Im not sure if it was through F|A but it was fairly connected to the clan at the very least. If you want it to go through F|A to spread the clanname then you do you, but if you expect to get more support then I wouldnt push my luck, you have a better chance asking for co-hosts personally.

 

As for Smirre's comment, he is definitely not wrong. It happens in every clan, especially bigger ones that people promise a lot but cant back it up. There is not much you can do about it besides making sure you have enough backups so your LU wont be short when time arrives.

 

My advice would be to wait for snatix' tournament to end, and then another few weeks so people dont get burned out/bored. And also to realise what you are getting yourself into. Judging by the experience you have Im sure you know how much effort goes into organizing a tournament (for the host a lot more than for a co-host), however Im sure you can handle it.

Yeah obviously thats why i brought up before, i hope it does come back and go ahead with it and i would wait longer then a few weeks before even promoting but it would give me a chance to see how many people are interested in it and maybe if putting in a cash prize my self/or another prize for 1st place would effect it.

 

Obviously this thread is just for seeing how popular the idea still is, and with the ideas i have and the effort i'd put in i think it could benefit F|A

yo can start bvy organzing a few wars, 3on3, 6on6, friendly matches between others, see who joins and get some practice. will give you a better idea of how many will attend the tournament. And get to know eachother before it happens.

 

We used to run a few wars a year ago, im sure some are still doing it? Talk to destiny.

Im already involved in friendly scrims regularly, at least a couple a week to be fair, i know theres a hell of a lot of people who are interested in it, especially with the correct kind of prize for winning.

 

I just want to see ETPro side a lot more popular i.e. there public server being used

been there done that. Its definitely possible to re-populate the ETPro server, create tournaments, and revive the scrimteam. and all that But dont underestimate the effort it takes to keep things going. Its like stretching a spring, sure when you are there to stretch it it will stretch but the second you'll have to start all over again

Agreed. Which is why you can't do it alone. I know you had a big part in our etpro side of things and when it went down hill, it was a huge bummer. Which is why it's important to have people support you so they can take over when you are not around. Fatal definitely has my support. Honestly, it just takes a few to keep things running. If one person is doing it all, it's bound to fail. Team work always wins. So I'm down!

Yeah  it does take a lot of effort but don't worry i've controlled Scrimteams and whole clans before, i know how hard it is but like cheep just said with more people involved and taking charge not just one person everything can stay active.

 

Cause i for one enjoy that side of ET more, and I'm sure i am not the only one

No, you are just going to waste your time on this, ppl do say they are interested, but when the time to play will come, they are not.

The problem is that when you guys have done things on the ETPro servers, many times they were held at favorable hours for the guys in Europe and hard to meet for the guys in the US.

This is also something which will be tackled, having people from different timezones involved to make sure no ones missing out
