I assume that they’re running it on PC?
They don’t specifically say so anywhere and they have a console section on their site.

Well good luck to those that enter.

EDIT: ah. I see Badman’s post says PC version.


(Crytiqal) #7

It says for PC version.

EDIT:
Lol, ESL has something for consoles I see :slight_smile:

It mentions that use of the ESL’s own anti-cheat tool is mandatory for the cup, which would indicate that’s PC-only.

You know what, I’m going to give this a go. Let’s set a up a team of old farts.

That and “tournament for the PC version of Brink.” is pretty unambiguous.

Congrats epsilon pretty much, especially if the weapon changes don’t come anytime soon. Absolutely pointless to have yet another tournament on the game.
The big money championship turned into a two horse race by the end, full of drop outs and lack of teams to practice against.
Challenge cup ended up with a source team getting through to playoffs by getting default wins for every group game.

Yeah. I skipped straight to the ESL page and didn’t see a platform mentioned and found they had Brink sections under PC and Xbox360. Saw “Valve anti-cheat” and “ESL anti-cheat” which is why I was thinking PC but for all I know it could be Xbox too (There are Valve games on Xbox). But then I actually read Badman’s post properly :tongue: Guess that teaches me for skipping ahead. Personally I’d have something on their page that specifies a platform for better user experience but I guess if you’re a regular you know what’s going on there anyway.

Some friends of mine told me about this “show up and get a prize” LOL! I’ll be joining the server and goin afk kthnx.


(coolstory) #13

Will we be getting weapon tweaks before the tourney?


(Crytiqal) #14

Only if the accuracy has increased please


(coolstory) #15

duh! I’ll falcon punch a puppy otherwise!


(tokamak) #16

So who wants to build a team? I’m not going to let a bunch of nitwits show up and collect the money without a fight.

Also I’ve made my character look extra err, fashionable, for on TV. We’re going for the showmanship award.


(Affe_mit_Waffe) #17

(Ruben0s) #18

(badman) #19

As soon as we’ve got a solid release timeframe, we’ll share it with you guys.

And yeah, the weapon tweaks will make stuff more accurate, among other things.
