Duel/Lower skill Tourney #1

Too good?!

I am low-skilled enough to play right?

I am low-skilled enough to play right?

I'm afraid that it's likely not the case.

I'm in

Too strong as well.

+++++ CANCELLED +++++

bah

Oops.

Not enough players? Too much feed-draw-back?

What about newbie sessions on DCC Beginner server? Advanced players can spectate to support it's challenger. But it's getting close for a 180° turnaround.

no karamel, mirio ragequit xonotic so the cup is cancelled under his administration... if we can have someone step in in time to wrap it up it would be great, but not likely

again?

I'd like to participate.

You are too stronk. This is around 100 elo tournament. ^_^

Aw, well that sucks.
Any chance of a intermediate tournament happening? (like around 400-500 elo?)

I was practicing with Ameis and noticed the grapple hook is on. Is it supposed to be?

A lot of things are voteable and you could find the vcall to turn it off via vhelp.

Ben too stronk. Are there actually any low skill players in this cup?

Don't get discouraged! Focus on an aspect of your game that you know needs improvement. Put that thing as your primary objective during your matches. Once you're executing to the point of it becoming second nature, move on to another thing! Rinse and repeat as necessary, and you'll be stronk before you know it!

Some general categories from my past experience:

- Timing ONE mega consistently
- Denying access to a weapon or area
- Spamming the most likely or high traffic-ed areas
- Approaching conflicts as "situations", with the situation dictating your weapon choices
- Being aware of where your opponent is at all times
- Making your opponent "earn" their position by inflicting damage, while at the same time avoiding damage on yourself
- Evading a charging opponent
- Not wasting shots (e.g. being patient with your aim even when you're taking damage)
- Learning map spawn points
- Moving through maps with efficiency
- Minimizing your sound profile (i.e. being "sneaky")

News: Grunt could not sign up earlier (real life issues) and joins Group B
