actually a proper good laugh

Are you set on having NA only?

had an absolute blast playing this game mode its actually amazing

let the EU boys come and have a blast

Regarding EU: we do not have the infrastructure to host EU servers for the tournament. There is still some testing to be done about the playing differences. Having high ping has lead to ball physics not cooperating and goals not being counted. The game mode is very bad at handling high ping players.

Could you please add the source for the sourcemod plugin to your github repo? I'm looking to add support for this gamemode to na.serveme.tf and serveme.tf.

This man can solve the infrastructure problem :)

Also working on a stats plugin maybe? Not quite sure how to get your own stat columns on logs.tf like interceptions/steals so maybe it'll display the stats ingame? not entirely sure about that yet

Thanks :)

The map, config and the plugin are now available on all serveme.tf and na.serveme.tf servers. If you don't have (na.)serveme.tf premium you can sneakily enable the plugin by selecting "Enable demos.tf" when making your reservation, but you didn't hear that from me ;)

They won't. They probably fear.

Regarding EU: Thank you very much Alfie and everyone else for playing my game. Looks like you guys are having a blast and it's very satisfying to see. I think I'll try to get some of you EU guys to join us on Saturday night for pugs and see how Chicago and (and maybe Dallas) ping feels for you guys. I think it's going to feel utterly atrocious but in the case that it's somehow not I guess we could consider opening the tourney up to EU.

this modes the best and whoever made the map is a genius

been hosting pugs with this in asia, really fun. give it a try. contact me if you wanna play in asia.

This gamemode is fucking amazing
Thanks so much Arie for getting configs on Serveme

UPDATE:

This tournament is now partly sponsored by serveme.tf (na.serveme.tf). Thanks to the generosity of Arie most of the tournament servers will be provided by serveme.tf. I really appreciate him getting the map and configs on his servers as it has really helped lots of people try the map and mode properly. Also big thanks to Alfie, WARHURYEAH, and others for the positive exposure!

Regarding EU players in the tournament... I am going to stick to my original rule of not allowing teams that are not from NA. The ping difference would certainly make a less-than-ideal experience for everyone involved. If your team has one or two non-NA players and they aren't warping around then I'm not going to worry about it but no more than that please.

We currently have 8 out of a possible 16 teams signed up so we're half way there! Don't delay and get some gamers together on a team!

Please excuse the formatting issues--Sherwoodfan constructs inferior spreadsheets!

Speaking of Sherwood, though, he is awesome and has contributed a bit of extra money for the prize pot. The prizes are now as follows:
1st Place: $220 (55 per person)
2nd Place: $120 (30 per person)
3rd Place: 20 keys (5 per person)

And so the demoknight technology race begins...

We're in discord right now. Come play the game with us esp. if you're never played and want to try!

I'm going to go ahead and betray the inventors and users of this simple yet effective technique.

Don't get wrecked by this. If you don't understand this play then this might lose you an entire game in only a couple minutes. As a general rule you don't want to leave your defender as the only one to try and stop this (or any other coordinated) attack play because, while his role is important, it's very difficult and rather unreliable. Offense is king in this game mode and can outplay a single defender at the goal often times. Figure out how to prevent this from happening--I know it can be done. Also this technique and similar ones CAN be done from other spots on the map so this is only one to watch out for. Other strong plays will surely be thrown at you in the tournament and it will be the teams that can identify what is being done and adapt, figuring out how to interfere/counter them that will have the most success.

I may modify my map later on but I'm not going to touch it until the tournament is over so pay close attention to the little details!

Sunday Oct. 28 is the last day to sign up with your team. Frickin' do it -- It's free!! I can all but promise you'll have fun. Worst case you lose and oh well, no biggie. There's 8 teams right now (out of a potential 16). We can definitely run an 8 team tourney. It's a little scant but it would be fine and it is a nice square number. But even if there's a weird number of teams, like 12, it would still be fine as some teams would just get a free win into the next round on the bracket.

Also between this thread and the discord channel some people submitted that they were LFT. We are not going to make teams for you. Someone has to take charge and be a leader. Add people and make some teams. Take charge, do it up.

Here's the people who mentioned they were LFT for this:

PS- I'm going to be experimenting with some slight changes in the future to help improve the flow of the game. People have been playing really hard with a tournament as motivation and have come up with some insanely efficient ways to play. This is great and actually the whole point of this all in a way. So I will see if offense can be made slightly more demanding along with a few other changes. But I won't be doing anything to the map until after the tournament so.. godspeed folks.

Feel free to add me if you want to play. Still need 2players + a sub :)
