hi guys
I wanted to organize a new 2vs2 tournament.
The rules are simple:
VPs 500 with standard resources
Maps: DomPavlova, Lorraine , Kursk, Tannenberg, Rails & Metal, Wolfheze, Duclair and McGechaens War.
The replay must be uploaded from every game. If there is no replay its like a draw.
Fractions allowed:
Wehrmacht, Panzer Elite, USA, RMC, Classic Brits and Soviets
but only in this combination
axis: wehr/wehr; wehr/pe; pe/pe
allies: usa/usa; usa/classic brits; usa/rmc; usa/soviets; classic brits/classic brits; classic brits/rmc; soviets/soviets
Start will be the 3rd June 2011
So all players who want to play on this touney
please post your name and your mates name here.
but also single players can post. i try to find a partner for them but there is no guarantee that i will find someone.
but there is also the possibility that other "single" players can offer other "single" players to play together.
hope we will have fun and many players

LOL ;D
I can play, you can count on me.
Say me hour.
-
I like the generali idea, and I'd like to partecipate (1.4 patch right?) but I take off from the list maps with stalemate points like Juterbog. ;)
Why don't put Lorraine or another EF map?
-
yes the plan was starting the tournament after new coh patch and ef 1.40 patch^^
mh maybe your right. we replace juterbog with lorraine^^
-
I don't think a tourney right after 1.40, just in case their is bugs or devs forgot something. etc.
-
^^I dont think that will be a problem
Sign me up!
-
June 3rd is kinda the same day I get out of school, so am sorry.
-
I am OK with this.
-
Nvm, I think I can play. What time.
-
me and flgator will play
-
I find myself intrigued with this prospect...
May even join in with you lot, that is if I get around to getting coh back on my pc.. been too attached to gw anyway could use a change of pace. :)
Perhaps we could even use my TS3 for this? feel free to do so for any match ups.
-
Myself and AllActionNoPlot will likely play.
-
I said I would play :P
-
Why don't we play on the 4th which is a Saturday? Say 6pm GMT? Also, will the tourney be the standard best-of-3 format for tournaments? This means that each team plays allies and axis once, and if a decider is required, the teams with the best VP scores from the others get to choose their faction for the 3rd game. Round robin or knockout?
-
First Round:
Axis
SublimeGlimz and donthateme
vs.
Allies
Sovereign and Seeme
Axis
AllActionNoPlot and GodlikeDennis
vs.
Allies
RedGuard and Cranialwizard
Axis
ApeMen and TheDzierzanPL
vs.
Allies
flgator and vonklaus

and like dennis said:

i will edit this post for all teams to show the actual score of each team.
-
I think you should edit the first post. Its easier to get to.
My favourites:
I will pull for Sovereign and Seeme (yes spam them to death!)
I am going to pull for RedGuard and Cranialwizard. Good luck guys. Go for broke!
Also I wish Flgator and Vonklaus good luck too! Go Go Go!
p.s. I wish I could participate but my times are unpredictable due to allocated usage. I'm hoping for some good replays!
-
Since there's 6 teams (meaning 3 will continue on in a knockout round) why not make it so the team that has the best VP scores of the losing teams has a second chance and comes back to make up the 4th team required for the semis?
:( Paladin.... No gl for me...? :'(
Also, I assume by 12 you mean midday.
-
I should clarify GL to all teams I am merely stating who I think will win ;D
Good luck - SublimeGlimz and donthateme (don't worry I don't hate you just merely dispise you ;D)
Good luck - Sovereign and Seeme (I expect a lot of spam overall :P)
Good luck - AllActionNoPlot and GodlikeDennis (I expect god like battles with no plans :D)
Good luck - MaxiKing6 and Cranialwizard (ColonelLiberachi) (I expect some interesting wars and another Seeme ;D)
Good luck - ApeMen and TheDzierzanPL (I expect ... a combo of epic proportion ::))
Good luck - flgator and vonklaus (I expect huge lag and interesting tactics, sorry flgator ;))
-
Thats alright with me. So 12 O Clock GMT would be 8:00 PM in Eastern Coast time, am I correct?
-
i like the idea of dennis
"the team that has the best VP scores of the losing teams has a second chance and comes back to make up the 4th team"
@seeme
im not sure
but in germany it bust be ~16 o´clock
-
Try AM Seeme. America will be morning, Europe will be afternoon, and East Asia/Australia will be late night. It's actually a good time to have it.
-
we need a later time, thats 8AM I think, for both me and Cranial.
-
Somebody call the whaaambulance. I got up at 5am to play the 1v1 EF tourney. If you want we can play our games early. It works out well because my partner may not be able to make it on time. Then you can get up a bit later for R2.
-
I would love to play at 5am its my preferred time, (wel no 3-4am would be) im actually up all night and the day isnt a good time for me im usually insanely busy during the day.
-
I guess you forgot about somebody... ::)
-
Ok I got bad news I can't play this weekend :'( so flgator needs a new partner.
-
I would love to play at 5am its my preferred time, (wel no 3-4am would be) im actually up all night and the day isnt a good time for me im usually insanely busy during the day.
June 3rd is friday yes?
I have a final that day, maybe waking up in the morning for me won't be such a good idea. Think we can do it saturday or see if we can fit it in at around 4:00pm onward for eastern time?
If it remains at the current time it will be impossible for me to arrive as I will be sitting in a hot room with 2 pencils, paper, sweating due to nervousness and the heat, attempting to do extremely well for the sake of high marks. :P

He changed it to June 4th
-
Excellente!
-
You'll have to find someone to replace me
Im going back to vanilla and no longer support this mod or the direction its being taken in.
To view the next patches balance changes were the final nail in the coffin for me.
-
OK Cranial, since Red's out, I will take his place and play with you for fun. Just don't lag.
-
I'd also play with him if you don't want, we had some fun games together and I think that our style of play fits together in a certain way :P
-
OK cool. I'm out then. :)
-
OK. Why doesn't the Sublime crew take part? :P
@Paladin88: Cranialwizard (ColonelLiberachi) and MaxiKing6 (MaxiKing6)
-
Yea I'm good with this. I wonder why RedGuard stormed out.
And Snugz isn't here, and Glimz has a partner. That would make Yauz find his own.
-
Red stormed out because he and Ijoe got tired of the mod or something.(Ironic, they were both Soviet Lovers)
-

yeah, was something like that.
-
i have bad news
i also cant play this weekend :-(
if its ok for all i would be pleased if we can move the tournament to the 11. june?
if not (I can understand if you say no) Dzier needs a new partner
voluntaries first :-P
-
I'm fine with the 11th. My partner probably can't make it this week anyway. It also might give us time to put out a small balance/bugfix patch.
-

Snugz isn't here right now, so I didn't intend to play this tourney in the first place. I just volunteered because Red left, but since Maxi's got your back everything's cool now.
-
I'm fine with the 11th.
+1.

thx guys
so the tournament will be on 11th june (saturday) at ~ 12 o´clock GMT
-
Awesomeness ill be down for that weekend. Flgator and I should be good enough by then to be very competive. Ironically the day paladin posted his jive me and flgator put it to him and his random partner.I've been in Vegas all week so hopefully I haven't lost much missing playing for a week. Ill have a drink for everyone tonight! Vegas is awesome but im ready to get back to getting nightly beatdowns from killar and sublime.
-
I'm back - sorry for rage post and rage quit :-[
sorry guys, to all of you :)
anyway, just wanted to say that and I dont expect my spot back in the tourny. I'll be happy cheering from the sidelines. my home is here on EF ;D
-
Well, you got that spot first. Let's wait and see what Cranial sais, he has to decide.
-
Don't worry red, I can think of a handful of people who did the same thing ;D
Welcome back.
-
Glad to see you're back RedGuard.
Well although I do enjoy playing with RedGuard I think that would be unfair to Maxi, sorry RedGuard, maybe next time :P Maybe a new partner would be good?
-
soo 11th? Sing me up ;)
-
The first post isn't really updating
-
Ironically the day paladin posted his jive me and flgator put it to him and his random partner.
Ha, Ha, Ha. Are you talking about me?
Do you guys seriously have that low of an opinion of me?
FYI, that guy really sucked so bad (he was actually green with only 2 matches ever under his belt and he told me he lost in an easy cpu skirmish). He also did not understand the term "victory point". He went off and did his own thing and so when your tanks rolled out... he did not even have one pak gun, any you would have seen were mine but obviously that isn't enough. Anyway, with a decent partner I reckon we would have had the initiative :D. You only won because you two worked better as a team (There).
I am so happy Red is back :). Thats the real reason for posting and to also say keep up the good work guys :D. I'll be pulling for all you.
The first post isn't really updating
Do you know whats happening?
-
I think vonklaus and I are almost ready to dominate this tournament. Our tactics have become a lot more "interesting." Funny how we were known on coho, yet are sucking hind titties on this game. Thats ok, we are becoming formidable at the right time. I appreciate the low resouce games.... will keep me from lagging as bad and allow my partner and I to be more accurate with the grenades.
Afrer we beat killar, apeman and subglimz in subsequent matches, what type of prize do we get? From you German's I would like 1-2 super fine german dimepiece strippers. From everyone else, money is fine.
-
I'll give $100 each to the winning team! (Taken from the losing team, of course. ;D)
-
Let's be fair here. Everyone elses chance on winning depends on how well (bad) my partner plays :P. JK
I'm really looking forward to some good organised matches.
-
In other words,
;D
-
Funny how we were known on coho, yet are sucking hind titties on this game.
there werent as many good players on COHO as there is on vanilla. COHO community was mainly total noobs with a few curious vcoh vets mixed in
-
so are we playing this weekend or when? and are the matchups on first page still in place? Also I think Malijou be added to map list for tourney.
-
so are we playing this weekend or when? and are the matchups on first page still in place? Also I think Malijou be added to map list for tourney.
the list is not up to date, evilspike should update it. I'd also vote for Grodno to be added.
-
Where can we find out what map we are playing on for the first round? My partner and I would like to practice that map a few times.
-
Can Maxiking and I play earlier than 8AM eastern? I have a plan to catch at 10AM and the airport is about an hour away
-
Yeah, it would be nice if the teams could decide on which map they'll be playing or at least to know which map is selected for the fight (I'm fine with every 2v2 map I think). Maybe evilspike could arrange this, I'd also like to practice.
-
if dennis team can also play on this time there is no problem
if not i ask one of the other team if they would swap
-
I'd like to participate in the Tourney if its still possible.
Ingame nick: dArCReAvEr
Xfire: darcreaver
timezone: gmt+2
-
RedGuard is still without a partner.
-
I can play :D always wanted to take part in this :)
-
so i added darcreaver and redguard as one team
but if i had seen right cephalos needs a partner
someone want to play with him in a team?
-
c'mon, we gonna own 'em all :P
-
Go Red and Darcreaver!
-
You and your opponent decide the map you want to play. You could play all 3 rounds on Rails and Metal if you wanted to.
-
Which map do we want then, Dennis and Cranial?
-
Is there still time to join ?
I would love to play,but no partner :-\
-
You can be with Cep
-
Which map do we want then, Dennis and Cranial?
I like Grodno to be honest. I think dennis would agree but he likes Rails and Metal too.

Grodno all the way.
-

+1 Grodno is awesome.

play with me mate :)
-
Sure :)
But i have no idea about those Gmt times i get soo lost about it :S?
Can some 1 tell me when that is with my time ???
-
We'd need to know your timezone. For instance mine is GMT+10.
Pariah, were you serious about the prize money? ::)
-
I just checked in google :)
and i hope i got it right :-\
My GMT is 2h +
-
If you're in central Europe it should be right.
-
Pariah, were you serious about the prize money? ::)
Yeah, but i'll need the losers to give me their addresses, so i can go and take it off them. ;D
In all seriousness though, if Eastern Front wants to do a unreal tournament, i wouldn't mind offering prize money, but i have to know if the game is balanced enough first for that. From what i've been reading lately, it looks like the latest relic and Eastern Front patches are quite buggy, so i think it needs more polish first. ;)

Oh come on, buy yourself a new PC! Giving me the money (Which would be fantastic...need a new PC, could start my own fund) is less important than you getting yourself one ;)
-
I'm saving more or less $100-$200 a fortnight, and i still have a few hundred left over each fortnight, so i can spare it. ;)
-
How much time is left until the tournament starts, guys? I'm kind of disturbed by all the posts with different times.
-
5 1/2 hours I guess...
-
Which time :P . My battle will start for 8 hours. 16.00 GTM if im not wrong.
-
Isn't the start time 12:00GMT? That makes it 10pm here in Australia which is now in 5 hours.
-
Thank you, Dennis.
-
It is impossible for me to play at 12 GMT. Our match must be moved earlier or later :( Again, I have to catch a plane and must be leaving for the airport by that time.
-
And I can't play earlier because I'm not at home yet..
-
Also, the tournament will go for several rounds and several games per round. Could take awhile to get through everyone. So I take it you're out then :S.
-
I'm moving to a new location today...Earlier won't work for me either. Can we try sunday? I'm sorry :(
-
if im not totaly wrong our match starts in ~ 4,5 hours
@Cranialwizard
I keep my fingers crossed that you find a way to play the match
if this would help everyone we can change the tournament to only the 2 matches a day and the next one is on the next day. then cranialwizards team had the chance to make thair match before the next will start
-
No, why not just have the 1st round span through saturday-sunday? That way anyone who can't play at the specific time can make it, and those who do advance into the new rounds can have some more time to prep?
I won't have any time to play today unless we start a match within the next 5 minutes and/or play late at night for my time, which won't fare well with other timezones. (GMT -5)
-
So.. tomorrow then? Which time?
I have a suggestion - what if we create teams/opponents who live in timezones which make starting a game at a good time easier? Maybe like a European round, an American round and an Australian round (doesn't have to be exactly this, just to prevent people of three entirely different time zones playing against each other/together).
-
Late night for your timezone is actually the middle of the day tomorrow for me and my partner. So are we happy with playing the first round over this weekend and having other rounds for the people who get through throughout the next week? I guess there's really no reason for us to have a speedy tournament :P. As long as we organise times that suit us where we can sit down and play 2-3 matches we can knock over this tourney in a couple days.
-
If the tourney gets re-drawn or re organized for some reason, try to squeeze me in. ;D

Agreed, as long as Maxi is ok with this.
-
Ok, late night Eastern Time means early morning for me. That's strange but fits. I will go earlier to bed today then. I'm all right with that.
-
Things changed and i have time this afternoon. If somebody cant play i can hop in.
Any of you broadcasting?
-
My partner and I will be online and up for some games during the tourney, seeing as we're playing our games tomorrow.
-
Wait... I thought the tourney was on Saturday already?
-
Wait... I thought the tourney was on Saturday already?
it is nut not for dennis and co because cranial can only play tomorrow (read seeme read!)
-
If the tourney gets re-drawn or re organized for some reason, try to squeeze me in. ;D
If you'd pay attention - we're teamed up in the tourney already ;)
-
If the tourney gets re-drawn or re organized for some reason, try to squeeze me in. ;D
you are in^^
you play together with darcreaver :D
-
dunno but ... shoudnt this tourney start already? 1h in and nearly nobody online.
Play Coh mods
is meeting chat room!!!!
-
yes it seems nearly nobody is online^^
-
Ok so the earliest I can play is 17:30 gmt any time after this I can play. I will try to get off work a little earlier so maybe I might be 45 minutes to and hour earlier.
-
Cranial and Maxi, my partner and I will be online 00:00 GMT Ok?
-
For me it's 02:00 AM then, but why not..
-
Oh ok lol. 23:00 GMT then? Can't really do any earlier.
-
if all want we can also change it and start the tournament one week after the next patch?
because the most teams have still problems to macht each other^^
@klaus and gator
sorry but my time for today is running out :-(
-
Yea evilspike, i'm waiting.
-
I don't care. But I fear Cranial won't have time until 4AM GMT..
Moving and reorganizing everything seems fine to me.
-

for me too
in a reorganisation we should look at the time zones of all players to macht.
so i need to go now
i think i will be back in ~ 4 hours
-
that should be perfect as long as it is with your teamate I get off in exactly 4 hours
-
oh wow I wasnt even aware I was still in, I think we need to re organize or postpone, I cant play on this date. If I knew I was still in I would've cleared my crazy schedule
whoops sorry darc I shoudve been paying closer attention to list :P :)
-
I can play 10PM or later starting tonight. Is that ok? :-\
-
Now I am completely disturbed - This weekend or anytime in future?
-
Hasn´t this tourney already been moved?
-
Im online now if you guys want to play
-
That's it we're moving this to after the next patch. First of all this patch has some obvious balance problems and second some people are having trouble finding a correct time. Let's just slow down, and plan this out very organized and well.
If we have a set weekend and have teams agree on times during the weekend then I think we'll be better off. Right now it's hectic.
-

+100

+1000
And maybe post it on gamereplays so other teams can join too
-
I could post in the Blistered Thumbs forum if you would like, but i don't think there are many Eastern Front players there. :(
-
Good! Glad we're all on the same page :)
Lets just wait and see as to when the next patch will emerge, then we can begin the tournament.
In the meantime, it would be good if we could start a master list of all the contestants and their current opponents. Let's try to get this more public, like Gamereplays and like Pariah said Blistered Thumbs.
Meanwhile, we can start a master list here. I'll start some 2D art concerning this.
BASIC RULES:
- Each team will play the best of 3 rounds. After round 1, the teams will switch sides. For example, if Team 1 is Allies in Round 1, then they will be Axis in Round 2.
- In the event of a tie, the team with the best VP score will choose their factions. For example, if Team 1 wins game 1 with 100 VPs spare, but Team 2 wins game 2 with 350 VPs to spare, Team 2 will pick their faction for round 3.
- All factions are allowed, except for Vanilla Brits. If you wish to play Brits, you must play RMC.
- Reward Units are allowed.
- This Tournament will be in a knockout style with a loser's bracket to allow even those whom lose in round 1 the chance to play more.
Maps Permitted:
- Rails and Metal
- Wolfheze
- Sevastpool
- Kursk
- Grodno
- Duclair
- Lorraine
- St. Hilare
(Insert community decided maps here)
Current Team Matchup:
Match 1:
SublimeGlimz and donthateme

MaxiKing6 and Cranialwizard
Match 3:
ApeMen and TheDzierzanPL

Match 4:

(Did I forget someone? D:)
If anyone has any changes in teams or any teams to add, please post below. I'll add more teams and such to this and get a bracket drawn out as soon as the patch is complete.

I've recreated the tourney page in another thread guys. Please re-signup and read the rules very carefully. I've changed it so we play a round over an entire day or two and teams find a time to suit them at some point in that time. In this way, the tourney will take a lot longer, several days, but will be easier for everyone to organise themselves.
