SUGGESTION: 1st EF TOURNAMENT

[Headlock]

Hi All,

So, I suggest an Eastern Front Tournament!

Now, as this is EF, and we currently have low-ish numbers of players, I further suggest we do things a leeeeetle bit differently.

Suggestions:

• The tournament is played out between two "Factions" - ie Krauts v. Ruskies.
• You pick your faction and play with them to the end.
• We play each EF battle map in chronological order as they in history, ie starting with (I think) Minsk and ending with Berlin!
• Each "Faction" puts forwards ppl to play each map, with no one player allowed to play more than 2 maps in a row.
• The winner is the faction with the most points at the end

These are ideas; feel free to expand, change or suggest alternatives.

Current Map list, in (estimated) chronological order:
1941
  Minsk
  Smolensk
  Kiev
  Kharkov
  Moscow
  Orel
  Leningrad

1942
  Kholm
  Zhytomyr
  Sevastopol

1943
  Kursk
  Prokhorovka
  Stalingrad

1944
  Tannenberg
  Konigsberg

1945
  Vienna
  Prague
  Cottbus
  Seelow
  Halbe
  Berlin

Good idea, keep your eyes open for a possible tournament

Good idea Headlock.

There are, IIRC, 15 EF maps - that means we'll need 16 players (8 for each team) at the minimum. With that said - I'd be willing to play for the Soviet side.

The maps are:

Minsk
Moscow
Leningrad
Smolensk
Kiev
Stalingrad
Kharkov
Orel
Sevastopol
Kursk
Prokhorovka
Seelow
Halbe
Konigsberg
Berlin

I'll be waiting for that . I would be playing on the Axis side, for the Fatherland!!!! .

Missing a couple. Off the top of my head (may be more):

-Zhytomyr
-Cottbus
-Vienna
-Kholm
-Tannenberg
-Prague

BTW, love the idea Headlock. I like the whole team team/faction with chronological maps. Let's see who really wins the war!

Whow Tourney eh? Cant wait it. Wonder what will it be like? 1 vs. 1? 2 vs. 2? 3 vs. 3? 4 vs. 4? but it need some specific requirement like cpu systems or else lag like crazy

- Imperial Kaskins CPu i7 2.67Ghz , VG 5850 ATi, 3 GB kingston DDr3 + 8Gb Kingston ex-thumbdrive as readyspeed boots, and motherboard perhaps = all of this is good, By when face with a low end cpu like Pentium 4.  LAGGING man he lags i also lag better do not play.

So lets try play with same almost same specs? Like i7 processors 2.67 Ghz with any i7 ? or nearly same vidoe card that supports directX10 if. Like 4840 and 5840 will be lagging very little.

I think we'll probably start with a 2v2 tourney which I think more popular...then go 1v1.

[Seeme]

I agree, Zerstörer

[Rikard Blixt]

I'd rather see a 1v1 tourney first, easier to organize = valueable experience when going to the harder one.

[Headlock]

I'm currently gravitating towards a 2v2, to maximise exposure.

We could then cycle through each member of each faction fairly rapidly.

Also, when this is over, maybe you Devs could make a little badge we could add to our profiles here? or to our signatures! Fuck yeah!

No problem

Is the tourny going to be held in the current 1.10 patch...?

Is the tourny going to be held in the current 1.10 patch...?

I think it'll be held after the hotfix .

[Versedhorison]

I'd be keen for 1v1 games since that is what I play competitively.
