In regards to dropping out: Unless it is for a pretty solid reason I'd suggest not doing so because you'll probably just be left out from future tournaments and such. I'd also like to point out that this isn't ESEA. Teams will not be perfect by any means but I can already foresee people bitching about what team they are on, what captain they have, how bad their teammates are, why their teammates buy music kits instead of defuse kits, etc. This is meant to be a fun event to bring the community together, not to crown people as e p i k m e m e r s. Yeah there are going to be some ground rules but this isn't supposed to be an international championship. Nobody is betting skins on these matches. Anyways, I expect to have more information this weekend. If not tomorrow, sometime Sunday about how teams will be structured and how we will create the scheduling.

No problem at all. I'll add you to the list. If anyone else wants to join in feel free. You are able to do so until we officially begin the team selection which should start shortly.

All ranks have been updated to this point, thank you. We have exactly 42 which is perfect (we did have 43 but then someone got banned to bring it back down xd).

Appreciate everyone signing up. At this point please make sure your rank is correct in your original post. I will go through all of them later tonight and make sure everyone is listed correctly. Either tonight or tomorrow I will hopefully talked to Spiked and get a final determination on how to designate the teams and other information on the event will be posted fairly soon! Right now we have 41 sign-ups which means 6 teams of 6-7. If someone else wants to sign-up to make it even at 42 that would be awesome!

Going along with what Spiked stated, please if want to participate have your name in by the end of tomorrow! This way we can make a fair assessment of how to go about doing the teams. I've also added a rank breakdown on the first page. The ranks aren't as bad as I thought they would be when this was first proposed. We have also reached the 36 mark which means 6 teams of 6. I think we will most likely stick with 6 teams so anything above 36 that we receive will obviously be added subs into the league. Also thank you for the rank updates. I have updated those accordingly. As for teams we have really 2 proposed ideas: 1. The first idea is to have a draft. We would have 6 captains and then the captains would choose their teams. This is probably the easiest and best way to go about picking the teams. 2. Use the proposed idea earlier of evenly distributing the teams. So for example, right now we have 1 Global, 1 Supreme, etc. Each would be placed on a separate team. We would keep going down the ranks and randomly assign people in each rank to a team. Thus making everything completely random.

We've reached 30 which is awesome. Would love to gain 6 more if possible to make it 6 teams of 6. The ranks are much more balanced than I had originally anticipated which makes this an easier process.

Updated the first post with all the ranks submitted thus far. Please if you are thinking about playing get this info in ASAP so I can get started on this. I just finished my spring semester so I'll be working on this with Spiked a lot more these next couple of weeks to finalize everything and hopefully start before the end of the month. Also, please if you haven't, post a screenshot just to confirm your rank. If your rank changes between now and the beginning of the event update your post or just reply again. You don't need to update it every time your ranks changes as there is no point until we actual begin the process. Lastly, if you do not have a rank or are unranked please attempt to become ranked/get your rank back so we can fairly create teams. Last thing we want is someone who was a DMG 5 months ago to now play like plastic 3. Looking forward to getting this going. Appreciate all the support so far. We have 20 people signed up as of this post which means 4 teams of 5, but as Spiked noted we are going to try and add subs as well due to peoples personal lives.

Everyone loves nostalgia but in all honesty I think this is a bad idea. Splitting the ZE population between two servers when we finally have a strong population is not a good idea. I get wanting to go back and play css for old times sake but for the benefit of the community I think we should stick with what we have.

If you have been inactive then please just make a solid estimate of where you should be to not only make it fair for you but for everyone else.

I actually called one right lol

I bet TSM against them and won pretty big there. VP and Fnatic make me very nervous now. Probably don't wanna take my advice but I might take a low bet on Na'vi.

Congrats! Both very well deserved!

my salty spittoon involves me losing several dollars over the last couple of days #salt

I'm cool with Friday as well depending on if it is happening during the day or not.

Your best bet would be to do Friday - Sunday as most people have much more free time on the weekend.

Good to hear from you! Drop by TS again when you get the chance!

yayyyyyyyyyyyy i liked this map as well.

See ya next week!

How bout instead of criticizing him you actually help him lol. Anyways, you can watch several videos on YouTube that do an excellent job of showing you how to create a 3D skybox. You clearly have a leak based upon Darnias' other post that shows the red line leaking out of your map. Your map will fail if there is a leak in the skybox. You have to follow that line in Hammer and see which wall it leads to. Make sure all points are closed off completely otherwise a leak will occur. Trust me you have a leak here and I have run into several occasions where I have thought I have sealed everything off perfectly only to find out I was off slightly and it caused the entire compilation to fail.

Kind of a boring day in terms of matches/betting. Really all the favorites have played well so I don't think the real fun will start until tomorrow.

Same. Seems like a lot of underdogs winning today for the most part with the exception of VP really.

Ayeee. Put some skins down on CLG and they came back from being down 13-2 against HR on Nuke.

It's essentially the same map with a few changes but the layout and general idea remaining consistent. Overall I think we should give it a try. The only reason that it killed the server was due to bad CTs saying "Freeday no outside/disco." While that may happen again I believe this map should be changed enough to prevent those from happening.

THOSE FUCKING RAILS IN CSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll give this one a look as well. Tested it out and looks pretty nice.

We are in the process of reviewing a bunch of PB maps, this being one of them.
