News The Official Twink Cup 2018 Thread

[Revoman]

yo why didn't u guys just do two groups of 3 teams and top 2 move on to play each other in quarters that way there's no bias in the seeding

Because then there's no bias in the seeding.

Ain't a better word to describe this years Twinkcup than "Bias" in all honesty

 

[Jva]

Hardbass and Hurrx clearly gonna win this years TC. Anyone else ist just wrong and biased!

 

[Fancy]

Why the fuck is the twink cup full of best of 5 series and atleast 10 series, that will take atleast 16+ hours, somethings not right. Put in a 2nd day

 

[partygirl]

agree with fancy, I really have to try hard to comprehend how someone could think it was a good idea to make this a one day event with the series laid out like this XD?? EU ppl will have to play from like 8pm until 8am, absolute fucking joke.

 

[Iild]

lets say that somehow every series goes the full distance of 22mins per game (2min prep, 20min time limit of gates open), 5 games per series, that's 110 mins per series, 10 series, that's 1100 mins, that's roughly just over 18 hours of tournament before the final games, which im assuming is a best of 7 if the rest is 5

so thats another 154 minutes assuming every game is played in full

tournament could roughly consist of 21 hours of wsg, thats not even including breaks and interruptions


good luck with that, yes its very very very unlikely but its still a possibility.


and if past tcs are anything to go by, there will be a lot of breaks and interruptions, so even if series dont go full distance we're still looking at 16hours+ as a general idea of how long it'll go on for


unless some teams pull out at the last minute which im betting on anyway

This tourney gonna be a shitshow

It's not clear to me what the official times will be since the organizer still hasn't posted anything but multiple series need to be going at once. That's how it's always been in the past.

I've seen this message by Ripduck posted around in discord, but again it's not clear what the official start times will be since the organizer still hasn't updated the OP:

For example, JCP and GSC play against each other while LSN and RI play against each other at the same time.

Then, when Momentum and winner of JCP/GSC are playing against each other, SPIT and the winner of LSN/RI are playing against each other at the same time.

While winner's bracket semifinals is going on, the first 2 rounds of the losers' bracket is going on concurrently.

There's no reason why LSN and RI shouldn't be playing the first series until after the first series for GSC and JCP is over.

 

[Bowner]

Like to point out that the clock / countdown to the TC is set to finish at 11 AM EST and 8 AM PST even though thread start time says 11 AM PST! and 2 PM EST. kek

Its been awfully quiet

Everyone still sleeping after the marathon yesterday. I fell asleep with my laptop on before the last game. Kudos to those who played through it and still gave competitive games.

 

[Shaket]

Idk what the big deal was with the schedule, 24 hours of warcrack, starting at 8pm, is perfectly reasonable for a meth addict.
