I actually like the sound of having everyone in the same unechanted green gear from vendors because then anyone could play and making a new class just for the tourney would be easy and it’d make it all about skill but it would be hard to enforce that and people might be less interested for that. But for item bans, changing them around to free up a lot items is in the works
[doublepost=1621008089,1621004206][/doublepost]Update: Item bans have been changed freeing up a lot of items for use like Runeblade of Baron Rivendare, Ironfoe, Blackout Truncheon and Flurry Axe

Nice I honestly didnt think these items were that game breaking to begin with .

this almost feels like directed at a very specific player, a player that i hate with a passion

by that same token, toons with i49 weapons should be banned?

to be honest, banning anything at this point (without even knowing how popular the tournament will be) is just a premature move.

for example, why would you ban destiny when you don't even know if those couple of players with destiny will even care to participate?

Ilvl 49 weapons are banned. Whether or not the few players with Destiny would sign up, if they do they are more than welcome to use a weapon within the rule set, its seemingly pretty obvious how strong the weapon is. As far as the specific class ban, whether 100 hunters or 2 hunters sign up, a team having a hunter will be at an inherent advantage because of the obvious dominance of that particular class.

i didnt write the ruleset. You can read the rules and choose to participate or not. If you dont like the rules, dont participate. Its not a particularly difficult proposition to grasp

Hello all!

@Damnbrolol (Cole) and I have decided to put a small cash prize together to get a SL20 3v3 tourney going for NA. Hopefully this will boost the participation in the bracket and bring additional life, entertainment, interest and competition to the bracket!

The date is TBD for now, we're first seeing if there will be enough interest and participation for the tourney and second with TBC right around the corner we figured we'd wait until after it releases and the hype calms down a little bit for it. This will also give people some time to read over the rules and get some new toons, comps and teams going. We plan for the tourney to happen before 9.1 releases, aiming for tourney to take place on a weekend sometime between mid June to mid July.

In order to ensure fun, fair, competitive and interesting gameplay to watch and play; Cole and I have agreed to the following rule set after much discussion. We tried to have as little rules as possible to keep it simple and maximizing participation while also keeping it fair and balanced.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-Class/Spec Bans-
  • Hunter (Everyone saw this one coming, there was talks about just banning Survival but after more thought we decided to ban Hunters in general because all 3 specs kits are loaded compared the rest of the dps specs at 20. They also put out the most dps very easily with a lot less effort required. Hunter 3v3 WGs make the games very quick and boring to play and watch. Also if we did allow hunters, every team will run some sort of Hunter comp and the teams who do not will have a lot harder of a time finding success. Hunter Comps vs. Hunter Comps vs. Hunter Comps would get stale as well! Apologies for the inconvenience for all you hunters out there, we hope you understand!)
  • All Tank Specs
-Item Bans-
  • All weapons and gear (including trinkets) with a equip, use or chance on hit effect that cause any form of CC (slow, root, incap, stun etc.)
  • All weapons and gear (including trinkets) over ilvl 34
  • All weapons and gear (including trinkets) that are now unobtainable in game (Grandfathered)
  • Additional item bans: Destiny
-3v3 Composition Rules-
  • 2 DPS 1 Healer comps
  • No Hunter or tank specs
  • No class stacking
-Match/Series/Bracket Rules-
  • Bracket will be made with challonge.com
  • Double Elimination
  • BO5, BO7 Finals
  • First map is Nagrand (mystery locked comps)
  • Winning team of match locks comp in first for the next match
  • Losing team of match then picks the next map and lock comp second for opportunity to counter comp
  • Teams breaking rules forfeit the match where the rule was broken but can continue the series
  • Disconnects will restart the current match with same map and comps.
  • 1st Place Award: $350, 2nd Place Award: $150
  • XPOFF Badge Award in the works for all the players on the 1st place team!
-Team Rules-
  • 3 or 4 Player Teams (if you want a substitute or not)
  • Any class available to the player is allowed to be played except hunter/tank specs and so long it follows the 3v3 Composition Rules.
  • Aiming for a minimum of 8 teams and a maximum of 16 teams. Also trying for an even number of teams to avoid free bys.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If there is a lot of interest and participation for this tourney, Cole and I can host another in the future potentially with a $1000 prize pool and after the results of this one we can better narrow down the rule set less or more if needed. Future tourneys hosted post 9.1 will probably have changes needed.

If you are interested in signing up, comment on this post with your team name and your 3-4 player names. Teams will be signed up on a first come first serve basis.

If you do not have a team but are interested in playing, comment your name and classes down below and see if you can put a team together!

You don't need to be in full ilvl28 greens to compete!! All of my toons only have a few pieces of ilvl28s some even just one or two pieces and they perform just fine!

If this attracts more players to the bracket, we could host 10v10 tourneys as well!

Tell your friends, gear a homie, thanks!

*Also looking for someone to stream/host/commentate the tournament in an official and professional manner, let me know! (Whatever happened to Blackout and NWL?)*

Kind of sucks so many people are excluded just cause you ban fucksticks.

There is more than enough time for someone who mainly plays hunter to gear a new 20! We would love for as many people to be involved as possible, the gearing process can go alot quicker than you think. Cole#1394 is my btag I'm always down for practice wargames or to help people with dungeons etc. I've managed to gear almost 5 20s in a few weeks just by farming for gold on Bleeding Hollow. Plenty of time to gear up a new toon if all you have is a hunter :)

Yeah I agree 100% that it's more than enough time to gear a new 20. My 1st twink toon was a Hunter, but I wanted to try different classes. I finished my Demo Warlock yesturday after only a couple of days. He doesn't have the ideal neck/rings but that's OK for right now. I'm hoping to get 2-3 more toons done by the time my sub ends at the end of the month
