This is a round robin system, and actually escaped my mind being so focused on trying to make single elimination work. A round robin 5 v 5 will work with any number of teams but it means you have to play every other team, and it will take a lot longer to finish. People actually will need to be dedicated to play each match; i.e. I'll have to schedule a day and time every week for each team. If you don't show up you'll forfeit or something like that. I think I've waited long enough on this vote, and 5 v 5 summoners rift seems to be what most want. Are people happy with a round robin system? Otherwise it's gona be a 3 v 3.

Fuck poems. Get money get laid. I whip my hair back and forth.

Yes but since only 24 people have signed up, there's no way a 5 v 5 can work out to have finalists. The best you could do is have 4 teams with 4 subs, 1 for each team. However I am assuming there are going to be more people which will make it not work somewhat. At the end of the day the people are still needed.

Best part about this thread.

Assuming everyone who has voted here is playing, we will still need 10 more to get a working 5 v 5 going. If we go with a 3 v 3 we will need 18 more assuming the same reasoning from before applies. I will keep this poll open until we get at least 40 votes.

PM Paul or get some AO's on the case?

Where is Bread, and andre?

I encourage everyone, if 5 v 5 summoner's rift wins or not (but definitely if it does), to invite people not currently visiting the forums or playing SG at all. Your friend on LoL, or in a different community that you talk to on steam, or whatever, can all be additions to this tournament so long as they sign up on the forum and simply join the tournament. Now that the liklihood is that we will be playing teams, the choice is random pick or custom pick. Edit: Also why are there 29 voters but only 24 entrants? Fucking hell man GO SIGN UP.

Just for future reference when making sg scrims - you should probably make days and times that the 2 teams have to play, rather than leaving it to their own devices. If they don't turn up it's there problem for not notifying you earlier as the captain or as a team. At least this way you'll have a fixed end point

Then pick it.... Let people decide what they want.

Yes. Just keep this in mind when you pick: 1 v 1 = 8 people needed for 3 rounds, 16 for 4, 32 for 5. 3 v 3 = 24 people needed for 3 rounds, 48 for 4. 5 v 5 = 40 people needed for 3 rounds, 80 for 4.

Just gona point out that you 1 v 1 every game you go top or mid, at least for most games early on. People don't often play 2 v 2 and 3 v 3 as well, but it's the same as having 2 people in a lane or playing the twisted treeline. Too many people are saying 2 v 2 or 3 v 3 is fine. I'm not gona make the decision so I'll add a poll. http://www.steam-gamers.net/forum/community-suggestions/52625-pick-what-you-want-lol-tournament.html

A 5 v 5 will need at least 40 players, which will give you 3 rounds to play if you go to the final. Make it 4 rounds and you need 80 players. I doubt we have that many. A 3 v 3 is more feasable. 3 rounds will need 24, 4 being 48. But this is not without problems again. For a start if you don't ever play the twisted treeline you're not gona like the 3 v 3 done there, and a 3 v 3 on summoners rift will be unusual. Not to mention if you want any sort of fairness you're gona need to have teams randomized again otherwise there are gona be players who do not want to be left out of the normal team of players they play with, or have a team full of shits. Either way, the 1 v 1's are usually the best out of 3, and if you get counter picked twice then you were unlucky. The other guy has the same possibility of being counter picked as well. But I'm not sure why this is even a problem as if you're playing solo mid, first to kill or take tower, you should pick your choice based on that...

This is not over Blargh.

Ok let me just be serious. Ventrilo has been used for years by SG, it has become second nature to some to just join it, even if they don't actively use it all the time. No amount of upgrades are going to make them change unless forced. I am not going to force anyone to change. Vent serves its purpose just as TS does, just as Mumble does, just as any public voice server would. The sample of people that use and support TS are obviously going to say "I'd actually join if we did this", but then you have as many saying "I'd actually stop joining if we did this." It's not hard to understand really. No change is necessary, and those that don't use vent can stay not using vent. Their loss if they don't to play with the cool kids.

INTJ but I have to criticise the way this test often repeats questions and the lack of context it provides. Attention to detail rather than simplistic generalisations plz.

Why not MSN?

Some people like to use 25000, 100, 100. I've got 2 different rate setups depending on what I'm playing but I typically thought zblock handled this for everyone anyway, and if they were changed they'd get kicked.

Why are we to fix something not broken?

Some might say you are a fgt, but others might not. What difference is there between the two?

It should still be random. I would only say since everyone thinks team 1 is op and will win, that they should be one of the teams to start in the first 2 matches with the way the brackets are set out. Everything else should be random.

We need dem draws mannnn.

Added. See how it is.
