10-19 The Official Twink Cup 2016 Thread

[Stabilt]

P.S. What is this lascivious "sports career" you speek of? Surely you are ranked somewhere on the Internet since you are a professional. Tell us, the world wants to know. Lol...

I play a european wintersport, the people i know online know what i do and i dont really want others to know who i am irl (even tho my paid career just started).

Good luck making that living playing video games.
since theres a lot of people living of videogames i assumed this was you saying i wanted to do so too.

P.S. i dont think u understood what my first reply was about and i doubt u figured it out yet!

the ignorant

Takes one to know one I guess...

But really, Stabilt just stated the obvious, even though it apparently wasn't obvious to you, that you can't compare the TC to any 'real' video game tournaments since this is, as I stated earlier but of course will state yet again just for the sake of your lacking comprehensive skills, a tournament run by the community, thus the community will, should and do have a say regarding the rules.

It seemed like you completely misunderstood his point, and that you thought he aspired to become a proffesional gamer (which is very much a thing, and I strongly belive the top gamers in the world make a lot more a month than any of us do).

I know you see yourself as raised above every other XPoff user, but if you cannot see how 'Good luck making that living playing video games' as a response in a direct quote from another person, obviously seems like it's directed at said person, you should probably reconsider how clever you think you are

Ps. I can back Stabilt up about his proffesional sports career

 

[Revoman]

Alleybebooba is really good at sounding right when he's completely wrong. You can see this when his responses get real short because he runs out of bullshit to write.

 

[Snack]

And another that missed the referential fallacy! Out of all of them I thought you would get it.
Again, not once did I state he wanted to be a pro gamer. It is you that is lacking in the comprehension skills. Perhaps that "third language" has failed you. With that, I bid you all adieu.

Tenga un buen dia!

Would like it to be more realistic with the times of games being max 22 minutes but I do like the idea of making the teams ready by a certain time GJ organisers.

Yh the schedule looks pretty tight, but at least it's relatively early that it ends for EU and US people. Rip aussies and kiwis as always I guess

 

[Stabilt]

happy days for eus

 

[Bacon]

I could have made a better timetable in kindergarten with yellow crayons

 

[Fancy]

I kinda feel like game 8 should be played on the first day because finals is a bo7 but still looks fine, TC 2k16 hype

IMPORTANT UPDATE:

Due to Darkxd Mainteam no longer being able to take part in this years Twink Cup, the schedule has had to change as a result of it. GSC: A Team will advance into Round 2 of the Upper Bracket automatically and the team who falls into the Lower Bracket in Match 6 will instantly advance to Losers Bracket Round 2 to face off in Match 9.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause but unfortunately these occurrences are out of our control. The new schedule has been updated on the Official Post and is also posted below.

Why two?

 

[Conq]

Why two?

Just incase it's necessary, we do need one at this moment but I wouldn't be surprised if someone else dropped out, given who i've spoken to in the past few days.

 

[Fancy]

Yeah, thinking about it the format cannot change, 30 games the first day is just to many to stream. Has to stick to the original format

IMPORTANT UPDATE:

Due to another team dropping out of this years Twink Cup there has been a further change to the schedule and also the FORMAT of the tournament. The reasons for this is because with only SIX teams participating in the Warsong section of the tournament the Double Elimination format no longer works due to a lack of teams. Instead, we will be using a Round Robin format with a Semi Finals and a Finals implemented as a custom.

CHANGES:

The platform that we will be using to organize and manage the competing teams in the Warsong section of the tournament will be Challonge(link).

The tournament will be using a Round Robin format(link).

Within this format, each team will be facing off against every other team participating in the tournament ONCE until the Semi Finals and the Finals.

Once all teams have faced each other ONCE the total wins and total loses will be calculated and the teams with the better win to loss ratios will be ranked higher on the scoreboard.

In the case of more than one team having the same amount of wins to losses, the way that the rankings on the leader board will be deciphered will be by referring back to when the teams in question fought against each other and whichever team emerged victorious in that series will be the team ranked in the higher position.

Once the leader board has been finalized there will be a Semi Finals and a Finals to follow. The two teams that are ranked in Second and Third position on the leader board will face off for a second time in a Best of FIVE series and the victor will go head to head in the finals against the team that is ranked FIRST on the leader board. The finals will be a Best of SEVEN with NO advantage to the team who is ranked first on the leader board.

General Rules

In the case of a tie game for a series the game will be replayed to give each team a second change of emerging victorious. In the event that there is TWO tied games in a row, to determine who will win the series will go into a THIRD game of SUDDEN DEATH. The rules of sudden death is, first team to score a kill on the enemy team, wins. In the case that this happens both teams will have to remain to play the same team composition as they have done in the previous game.

It's unfortunate that you had to change the format, but obviously that was out of your hands. I do have a few concerns though:

1. What if several teams has the same win/loss ratio? What determines who is 1st, 2nd 3rd?

2. Sudden death...? Couldn't you make it first to cap a flag instead of first to get a kill? It's
