#55 Ultiduo in UGC? in TF2 General Discussion
smoboA few questions:

  1. What would make a good match day that doesn't interfere with anything else? HL has Mondays with playoff extra matches Thursday, 6v6 has Wednesday and Saturday, 4v4 has Friday, Dota 2 has Sunday.

    Since it's easier to find a time for 4 people to meet up than 8, 12, or 18, would the ideal structure be we schedule your match, then you have one week to play it and report your score, and anything unplayed gets forfeited for both teams? Kinda like our other leagues, except we won't enforce a default match time.

  2. What kind of roster size limit/backup rules would be needed for a 2v2 league? Roster limit of 4 players?

  3. What sort of map pool could we possibly do? It seems like there are only 2 Ultiduo maps that get played. (Someone earlier said 3?) Perhaps every week you do a best of 3 with the home team having tiebreaker map choice?


I don't do any of the website stuff so I don't know if adding another game format is something we can do. If it is, I want to make sure we do it the best we can.

You seem like you've thought about this a lot so I commend you. The fact of the matter is that some of these questions are easier to answer however. I want to make it clear I don't speak for UGC when I answer but in response to #2 I don't believe that holds very much weight. It wouldn't matter so much but it might be somewhere around 4 or 5 because being a leader you would only have to deal with one other human so that's not so bad. I really had hoped people would be more open to the idea of a new map every week, but yes I did mention that instead it could be done with every match playing baloo and stock (with obvious tie breaker if need be). Now match day is the hardest. Not ever person in UGC does happen to play HL and 6's and 4's and DOTA however. So, this might be a situation in which there must be a choice. I also do not see an Ultiduo match taking particularly long. It doesn't require a long period of time to play and not many people must show up to start. Sharing a day would be possible with this game mode. I really appreciate the in depth thought you've put into this. Hit me up if you have any more questions or concerns.

Jeeringsole. He said they would if it did not conflict with anything already set. Which of course I am taking into consideration when talking to the UGC admins. Thank you for the concern

#40 Ultiduo in UGC? in TF2 General Discussion
joejoe347I think it's a cool idea but I'm not sure getting UGC involved is necessary. I'd much rather a ladder system, or even a website with a simple elo ranking system (shouldn't be too hard to do for ultiduo) that would let me play whenever a friend and I want. It would be even better if if had the option for a solo rank and a team rank. That might not be as easy to put together, but I would be far more likely to play it over a UGC league with a match every week.

Getting UGC involved was for the purpose of having a match or so every week along with the prospering player base. It is a very universal place for any level of competitive player to go and play. I will be taking every slice of feedback I am given into consideration though.

kKaltUuHonestly don't believe you're doing this gamemode right by making it a league. Ultiduo is much suited as a (one night) cup.

Its more about giving people a place to play it competatively for sure. Its would also be a way easier way to organize through a system rather than just tourney after tourney. Here there is also no buy-in and allows anyone to play. The divs also allow for better people to only play better people and less skilled people to still get in on the action

SleepingLifePOpsSleepingLifeI have interest in this, but there's only 1.5 decent ultiduo maps. Stock is by far the best to play, and Baloo looks good on a cast.
I will be doing some map testing once I have a steady server. Do you want to be on the petition Sleeping?

I main ultiduo, I've played every map created, unless you're going to make new ones these are the only two playable maps.

I'll be considering Feedback and its already looking like only Baloo and stock so each match could possible be both maps or UGC could the other every other week. Just a thought

I cannot officially speak for UGC. So I cannot directly ensure any of your questions, but I can say that any reskins like the pan or original would be allowed with probably the crossbow. All of that would be in development if UGC says yes. Then I would come out with more information. I can also moderately safely say it would be multiple maps yes.

#1 Ultiduo in UGC? in TF2 General Discussion

As competitive TF2 grows and flourishes more players join the community, thanks to places like playcomp.tf and Newbie Mixes (thanks Kev), It allows for larger leagues. Ultiduo would clearly be a great addition to the competitive scene solely because of the attention it gets from players all over the skill spectrum, as well as the simplicity of only needing one teammate. If you got excited for the title, you might have gotten a little baited. This is not an announcement that UGC is currently adding Ultiduo as its own League. However, I am currently in the process of making it happen.

What do you mean?

Well let me tell you. In the past couple weeks I have made it my goal to introduce Ultiduo into UGC. In order to do so I have been in contact with UGC and they are interested, but not committed. However, I am happy to announce that evlTV has stated they would be greatly interested in casting competitive Ultiduo. So we do have a small foothold to work with, since I am on staff at evlTV I am keen on keeping that in motion .The push to make UGC comply needs to come from the wonderful community they work for. That's where you come in!

Well how can I help?

  • Down below put your preferred alias if you want it to be on the petition I have created
      - Obviously the key concern is a steady player base. Show your interest by joining the petition!

  • Donate me a server
      - This will be used to test maps for the map pool

  • If you have any criticisms or ideas add me personally rather than comment below.
      - This is so we can have a quick 1 on 1

But Pops, I don't want to play Invite players
The only way to avoid this is to get as many people as possibly to play so that we can have as many divisions as possible. The more people that play, the more likely the divisions will be moderately evenly matched. So get the word out!

How can I contact you?

Popsisokay

I am doing a much as I can to provide the community with the ability to show that they want this. The rest is up to you to help me out. Special thanks to evlTV for showing commitment to Ultiduo!

Lets provide a steady community for an awesome game-mode - Pops

#1 LF Scout mentor. in Mentoring

Hey, I'm a somewhat new scout main playing in Open this season with some pals. I'm looking for an IM+ scout to spend a considerable amount of time helping me out. I respond really well to criticism and will do what I need to in order to improve. I'd like to spend a large amount of time doing demo reviews and looking over maps, any and everything I could be helped out with really. I'd say i'm more than dedicated to my team and would like to improve my game. My timezone is EST fyi. Thanks a ton for reading.

If you're interested hit me up:
