Two days left to sign up. Let's play video games, video gamers.

Yeah, if I didn't absolutely love hosting tourneys for some absolutely unknown reason, there would be nothing like the REALTourney stuff. To be totally blunt, a lot of the effort I put into the tournaments goes seemingly unappreciated by the community as a whole. I know that sounds really shitty, and I realize that a lot of people like the tourneys. But throwing 100s of hours into tourneys isn't something a lot of people have the luxury of doing. And a lot of the ones that do have time make tourneys that go to complete shit as well (let's not name any names).

It's barely worth doing stuff if I'll be able to count signups on two hands, have to deal with hackers, hopelessly fiddle with the broken heap of ecommerce that is paypal, etc. If it weren't for fantastic people like KaraBear that contribute to the prizepots, it wouldn't be viable at all.

This is from the perspective of someone who tries really hard to make these things work. It's really frustrating. It's why you'll see people host a few decent tourneys and then never do it ever again.

our roster will be playing video games

roster looks promising but nothing 100% confirmed yet

also please use irc or i will cry. i dont want to go back to ugc scheduling days.

god bless uberchain, god bless #20b

For me personally, after watching all day:

In the perfect situation, this looks ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE and really adds to the viewing experience.
In the worst situation, it's still pretty decent looking. The few okay-ish zooms are worth the amazing stuff (like medic or demo -> pocket during ubers).

I LOVE WHEN THERE ARE BIG PLAYS AND THERE WERE BIG PLAYS.

That's pretty crazy. I think there are 3 TF2 lans going on this weekend.

ESEA, Lanfest, and Infoshow.

god bless tsc i love this

Would be willing to do some pug scrims against you if it came down to that. Hmu if desperate.

Gl, man

Yeah if there are 16 teams or less, there will be a one day event (probably like May 9th).

I'm pushing registration closure to when ESEA closes.

If we somehow get more than 16 teams, we'll do a couple weeks of single-game Tuesday nights as stated in the OP, but that seems unlikely. Only difference would be that the first match would be the Tuesday after registration closes rather than the 21st.

Signups are supposed to close tomorrow. Thoughts on me extending the deadline to when ESEA registration closes?

i warn anyone that asks to try my glasses that my prescription is very high. the ones that insist always say it hurts a lot

looking back it was probably childhood club penguin addiction that did it.

worth.

Signups close THIS FRIDAY and we're still two teams short. Also if numbers stay this low, the format will probably just be a one-day thing rather than my standard do-when-you-can tourneys.

Sign up with your new s19 teams! Bonding! Etc!
