DBNation's Proving Grounds #5


(dukemaroon) #1

Greetings Dirty Bombers,

Alright skrubs, now’s your chance to prove yourself! It’s time for Proving Grounds #5!

Let’s see if you can prove your worth and win it all. You’re in the big league now, so this is no time for mistakes.

Get out there and show us what you’ve got!

Prizes:

1st place: 30k credits, 1 Elite Case A+B
2nd place: 25k credits, 1 Elite Case B
3rd place: 20k credits, 2 Expert Cases
4th place: 15k credits, 1 Expert Case

Because we are unable to split this event into different regions, NA teams that have 2 or more West Coast players, all matches for that round will be played on an East Coast server. This will be done in order to level the playing field for all regions on all matches, as well as give the opportunity for all players to participate in this event.

On Sunday the 22nd of May we will be hosting a max 16-team single elimination bo3 (Round1 bo1 = more than 8-team sign up) tournament.

That means that we’ll be prohibiting certain teams/competitors from participating. The following list is generated from DBN performance from the Open Cups performances:

fE
SoloQ
Run and Pack
t>
HERO
t$t
The players on these teams will be unable to participate, substitute, or partake in the Proving Grounds events.

It’s important that the players of these teams also realize that we’re not forgetting about you! With this separation we’re trying to give the newcomers room to move, play, and compete. But let’s not forget that your dedication to the game, drive to win, and passion are what drive the community, and your understanding of this ruling and this particular list is greatly appreciated.

Special Rules: You can ban 1 merc for the other team – choose wisely!

The event will start:

10am PDT
1pm EDT
6pm BST
7pm CEST

All players are responsible for knowing all rules at any given time!

Tournament Rules!

Sign up with your team here!

They were on previous lists of teams that weren’t allowed, admins just didn’t bother putting them on due to being inactive. Wouldn’t make sense to put a team like ^KEK in the list for instance.

No love for Proving Grounds #5 from official DB Twitter :’(

Speaking of players who can’t play… the “winner” of PG5 used 1/5 actual teammates and 3/5 of them were banned from playing in PG because they’re from (or were from in the past on a team that won a previous PG) SoloQ, fE and t>.
