Xonotic Summer Championship 2016

Hello Xonoticans!

After the quite successful Xonotic Duel World Cup, we are happy to announce Xonotic Summer Championship 2016!
The modus will be slightly different from XDWC, but it will be played out on a single weekend.
Also we will have a prize pool and everyone can donate to it.

1. General

Join #xonotic.cup ( https://webchat.quakenet.org/?channels=xonotic.cup )

1.1 Group Stage
The group stage has a seeding purpose for the bracket and no one gets eliminated in this stage.

- Each group consists of 4 players
- Round Robin
- Best of 1

Example:

Group 1 plays out seed #1, #2, #3 and #4
Group 2: seed #5 - #8
Group 3: seed #9 - #12
etc.

Obviously the group stage will have a seeding already, which means that you should end up in a group with similar skilled players.
This way, also lower level skilled players can have some fun and not just get stomped.

1.3 Double Elimination

There will be a Winner Bracket and a Loser Bracket.
If you lose a match, you will drop to the Loser Bracket and continue playing.
If you lose again you are out of the tournament

1.3 Schedule

Saturday, 10th September 2016: Check-in: 17:00 CEST | Tournament start: 18:00 CEST | End: Group Stage + 'How far we can get' in the bracket [approx. 23:00 CEST or earlier] // http://www.worldtimebuddy.com/
Sunday, 11th September 2016: Start: 18:00 CEST

If a player has to leave for some time, he has to message one of the admins! We will try to schedule his match a bit later then.
If you do not let an admin know then you might get disqualified from the tournament for delaying matches.

1.4 Demos
Admins can ask a player to give them their demos. If a player refuses to give them, a warn will be issued.

1.5 Registration
You can register from NOW until the tournament starts by a) posting here or b) messaging an admin or c) show up in #xonotic.cup at given date!

Sorry, cant participate on that weekend

I'm in. We need more Warfare!

I doubt I will be joining in. In part since my computer setup isn't optimal for top performance gameplay... including a wireless mouse with optics acting up, mouse buttons getting stuck because sdl2 on Linux, and me being stubborn to keep all settings to maximum on the free video driver. I might however be interested in spectating, if this will be streamed somewhere or people can connect as spectators! As for maps, I'm only disappointed at the low score Erbium has... lovely and uniquely themed maps like that need much more love!

Yussss. I am really glad it's getting a high score >

On another note, what's with the high amount (not that I care, really ) of votes for Downer?

Lovely and uniquely themed maps like that needs to be more compatible with duel gameplay to be desired in a duel cup

It's size, complexity and item distribution speaks of FFA/TDM, not so much Duel though. What disappoints me is Silentsiege's popularity, it's not a very good duel map either. Size and complexity is good, but there's way too many shards lol. It's a good duel map for beginners, but very dull in high skill.

Where is that map?

Downer is a really fun map imo. Hardcore as hell when being under, but rewarding when winning.

hope everyone returns from holiday soon, only 8 players have confirmed

I want in too

IGN is 操

I'm in too! Still need to choose the maps though =)

Screw it, might as well
IGN is Beemann, I'll try to remember to be up at 8 am for the check in. Apologies if I sleep through my alarm or something equally stupid
I'll see if I can scrounge others for the 150+ ping club as well

GL! ch4mp will win this. 50e bet

Why does no one play AggressorX by the way??

Much better then Bloodrun.

lol, you crazy? you want to lose your money again?

but guys it's really time, at least 40 people I want to see.

Much better then Bloodrun.

Which version is the one where the teleport has been removed in favour of a warp zone? That is not an improvement over the original imo. It removes a lot of the tactics around that area. Or is that just my personal taste for random gameplay? :p

Edit: I see we have nothing on that weekend so I might as well join in to make up the numbers And so I can vote for AggressorX!

I like the teleporter version myself more, although I don't really like it having two 100 armors either way. Makes control easy and mega hp redundant especially with the current health drain rate.

Teleporter version is definitely better I agree. You can do well on that map with well placed spam though Smilecythe, especially since the bottom armour is under the stairs/steps.

I will play
