Rewind 3 Idea

what if rewind was rescheduled so that it happened during ESEA finals, and the top 4 teams or top 2 teams could compete to win ESEA on LAN, and then before or after ESEA grand finals, the regular Rewind invite tournament could happen.

just a thought, idk about the logistics or who to talk to or if its even mildly possible, but if it is i think it would be worth considering.

discuss

in addition: it would be healthy for ESEA and competitive TF2 for spectators to have not only look forward to watch ESEA finals, but also Rewind 3.

while it would be cool to watch esea finals live, i think that the clump of content would be much for anyone to enjoy. same reason why the few lans we have are nice to have spread out across the year. dont know how others might feel about this though.

I had considered this, and depending on how long each block would take, there could be a day or two in between depending on how willing ESA is to host us for that long.

It would also be weird for Rewind as an international event. If its invite finals and 7 makes it to GF then what do we do? I'd rather have online finals but still have a major style international LAN. Scheduling would be weird because if one of the ESEA seasons falls close to actual rewind so how exactly would that work out if you wanted to have 2 LAN events hosted by ESA (in such close proximity to each other)? Also although ESEA have been flexible with the TF2 community (free open) i highly doubt they'd consider ESA's finals as their own official final. Also given that ESA is in California and old ESEA LANs were in Dallas its a lot harder for most teams to fly out to the venue.

my idea is that its essentially two seperate events. the ESEA finals happen, then 1-3 days later, regular Rewind tournament happens.

(or the opposite.)

the finals would still have to be played on esea servers and would be an online final despite everyone being in the same room. ping would be equalized but it wouldnt be lan.

Play matches offline (unofficially), winner .ffws in official server after winner is determined.

they tried this in the past and esea said it wasn't acceptable. They aren't going to pay out prize money if the games don't happen on their client.

Oh shit, I guess we'd have to get ESEA's permission to make it an official lan.

yeah, we’d need permission from ESEA, ESA, and the invite players.

i use “we” very loosely, i have no power within ESEA or ESA
