(potty1) #1

Welcome to the first competitive cup of 2015 for dirtybomb!

We would like to invite everyone to participate in the first cup of this year. We have been known throughout the closed alpha and beta for running several competitive events quite successfully. Whether you are a player looking for a team or a team looking for some competition. This is your chance to get dirty and potentially win a few goodies!

Cup information

Date: Sunday 19th of April Sign ups Close 10/4/15
Time: Start time is 18:00 BST and estimated finish time of 22:00 BST (Subject to delays)
Servers: We have secured some private servers thanks to nexon! They will all be located in Europe for this event.
Format: Stopwatch 5 vs 5 - Best of 3 Maps Single Elimination. Max of 16 Teams
Prizes: While we are unsure of exact numbers, we DO have Merc Start Packs and Dirtybom T-Shirts to give away!

[center]Rules[/center]

  • No bug abuse/cheating.
  • Absolutely NO limit on mercs or loadouts.
  • All teams are encouraged to play ahead of schedule where possible.
  • At least one member of each team is expected to be online on the Evaczone’s TeamSpeak 3 (TS3.TRACKBASE.NET:8888) server for the duration of the tournament. This will be the primary contact method whilst the tournament is active.
  • Team Captains are responsible for ensuring that their team is connected to the correct server. Server details will be posted on the cup tree.
  • Abusive behaviour towards tournament staff and other players will not be tolerated.
  • If your team is not set to play, do not use the servers as time to practice as they will be needed. Wait for your team captain to tell you to connect to a certain server.
  • NO SWAPPING OF YOUR DESIGNATED 3 MERCS BETWEEN ROUND OR MAPS. This will only increase potential delays.

[center]“How do I sign up?”[/center]

Simply follow this link and post your team’s information. Once your team has signed up you will recieve a message from myself on evaczone.com regarding further information.

no one merc rule :frowning: i welcome our fragger overlords with open arms!

@syku , the reason for this is to try find the mercs who might need a little tweaking to help balance the game. This cup will get teams finding the little things that need work so SD can get their butt’s in gear to fix asap :wink:

Thanks @appreciativeBuster <3

GL, avi for this

Hope SD introduces some (cvar) restrictions soon though, the loadout cards aren’t even that big a deal if there are some restrictions for competitive play. ‘ETPro class system’ would be an idea. Don’t need a 1 merc rule but at least like a 1 heavy max and 2 assault max would be a good start. Also making sure people can’t abuse these insane FPS configs that remove things like tree leafs etc is a must(rivatuner much?)

(appreciativeBuster) #6

Nah sorry nothing wrong with changing your config setup.

mehhh :confused: i need a team for that and my teammembers don’t have closed beta access v-v

anyone looking for a proxy / skyhammer?

(Kroad) #8

just looking forward to seeing 5 skyhammers on chapel defense kek

(twidi) #9

Too bad this is same weekend as the ET LAN in NL :frowning: Would have most likely participated with some of the top ET players. Maybe next time then, good luck with this!

(Rex) #10

Good luck to everyone! May the best card win!

(Mars31) #11

Will there be a livestream for some of those matches? :stuck_out_tongue:

(artfulSedan) #12

Will we get the mercs and laodout cards for free furing the matches because if not… it’s going to suck because noone has proxy.

(Rex) #13

Don’t worry, I have her.

(42YnNaD) #14

At least make a 2 merc limit. Or some people will just roll 5 fraggers for shits and giggles

(Kroad) #15

then find a counter or run the same thing, and show the devs that balancing is needed

(LiNkz) #16

I got secret information how to counter fraggers, won’t tell how but it can be only done by 2 ppl atm Kappa

@42YnNaD 2 fraggers is already broken xD
