Ah, the sweet, sweet smell of nostalgia. Riding off of very successful MGE and Ultiduo Tournaments, REALTourney is ready to do something a bit out of the norm. I personally miss the maps that I played as I was introduced to competitive back in 2012, and I think it's a shame that no one plays them anymore. So, let's do something new... by playing something old!

Behold: The REAL(ly dead map) 6v6 Tournament

http://i.imgur.com/jeNI2mu.png

Matches will be played on Tuesdays at 10:00est, so don't sign up if you can't make that time. Signups will close on April 17th, and the first matches will be on April 21st.

All configs and whitelists and rulesets will be consistent with that of ESEA.

You must have league experience to participate. I hate to do this, but it makes dealing with hackers/ alts much much easier. This experience can be UGC, ESEA, or ETF2L (or any other significantly sized league).

Buy in is 6 keys per team.

Detailed rules/ prizepot info will be posted soon. Prizepot will basically be the buy in keys + whatever else I can find. Wooo!

Edit: also, there will not be a limit to the number of teams participating aside from the challonge limit of 256, so yeah.

Thanks to everyone who played in the tourney! Here are the results:

There are a few ways for people to look at it.

1) the more things it goes through (ei donor's paypal to your PayPal through imraising to your credit card to the charity), the more fees that will be involved. People want to donate to charity, not to paypal or imraising.

2) some people will will totally trust you, but not everyone will. If you put the donation straight to the charity, more people will donate.

Most charities do have a paypal donation email even if they say it isn't listed. Have you called/ emailed the charities about it?

Hype!!

The event is starting at 7 est. If you don't have the mumble info yet, message me on tftv or steam and I'll send it. You must be in mumble for this event. You must record demos for this event.

I've done three 24 hour charity streams on my channel before. Any time someone donates $50 or more, I run around my house with Skype mobile screen regioned on the stream.

Always gets a good laugh + helps me stay awake + gives my eyes a much needed break + more money for St. Jude!

Also eat healthy or you will hate yourself right around hour 18.

you do realize that's the opposite of an okay thing to do, right?

no one cares if it was you who took the picture rofl

The fact that anyone with access to the admin panel (script kiddie or otherwise) has access to unhashed passwords is pretty terrifying. I almost changed my randomly generated password of my UGC account to one of my normal passwords a while back, and now I'm really glad I didn't.

this is so portland that my brain doesn't know what to do

Hey guys, the event will be pushed back once again to next weekend. I really hate to do this, and it's getting almost comical at this point.

I had 9 hours of time last Saturday set aside to figure out everything for this event, and that was all thrown out the window with TF2Can. Absolutely worth it, but also very frustrating for the participants of this event.

We will be hosting this event next weekend. I will be sending everyone involved info over the course of this weekend. It will be casted. The prizepot is $270 (150 for first, 75 for second, and 45 for third).

For the small number of people eligible for receiving their collateral back, message me on steam or TFTV starting next Sunday. I won't be bending over backwards finding you, though so keep that in mind.

Edit: also, Wiethoofd has put forward some item prizes. 1st place winners will also each receive a professional killstreak kit. 2nd will each reveive a specialized killstreak kit, and 3rd will each recieve a basic killstreak kit. You can check out his different tf2 related projects here:

I had to close out of FC:EU when they were trying to explain why the playoffs are so small. It was painful.

Did they ever give an actual reason?

there goes literally the only good thing about the grapple maps

also woooo medals!

There's no need to be passive aggressive rofl. If you want to call me out, feel free. But be actually-aggressive (like this): you've been working on this website for almost a year and saying it might be ready since i55 and it's beyond frustrating that I abandoned a very similar project with a few actually-competent friends of mine from school because you were close enough to release plans of your site TEN MONTHS AGO and it still hasn't gone 100% live yet.

But as for the actual content of your message: until last night I had been up since Friday morning at 6am with a total of 9 hours of sleep. I have been back to my apartment once since the start of this school week (when you messaged me) because I'm taking a lot of hours and all my professors have made this the catch-up-on-everything week. I even told you that you'd want to get someone else to help because I've been very busy. I'll walk back to my apartment where my computer is and "click twice" tonight, but for now you'll have to go ahead and keep calling people out in this thread and shit posting in other threads.

spoiler it's tftv

I will upload the high level povs that I get. The upload frequency the format gets is dependent on how often I get submissions from the format. Simple as that.

Also, I already uploaded a HL POV so it shouldn't be news that I'm going to start integrating HL content. A lot of players seemed to be excited that the channel is starting to do HL stuff.

You shouldn't go live with this website until you have a system of account checks/ admins in place to make sure that

a) The players cannot bet on their own matches.
b) Any large bets' histories are checked.
c) You know for sure nothing can get screwed up.
d) Every last page on the website is as clean a whistle and professional as well.

What I saw when testing around a few days ago was something I'd never trust with anything more than a few ref.
