PC NA -3/10/19 No Rules, No CP 4v4 Tourney

Thogard

New Tourney:

Where: Sotha Sil on PC NA
When: Sunday 3/10/19 at 5PM EST / 2PM pacific
What: No Rules 4v4 Tourney

Prize pool is 5000 crowns to the winning team, as well as any gold I can scrounge up from some sponsors. Winner is measured by which team has won the most matches. We’ll get mathy if 2nd place hasn’t had as many matches.

Tourney layout:
4v4. Dump ults at beginning and then jump block to start. No rezzing during the fight. No adds or fifth players or interference from the sidelines. Matches last 10 minutes max. If both teams are still fighting but with uneven numbers due to deaths, the team with more people alive wins. DRAWS with equal numbers of fighters remaining after 10 minutes count as LOSSES for both teams.

FAQ:
Q: you monster! Why are you doing this?
A: too much cheese goes unnoticed due to top tier players voluntarily choosing not to use it. We want to see what top tier players can do when they put aside their morals. For science.

Q: Are there really no rules?
A: No rules doesn’t mean there is no process. (IE no bringing a fifth person to a 4v4). We still have a process as outlined above.

Q: Why do draws count as losses?
A: because no rules means people can play to stalemate if they want to and we want to make sure that those teams feel like losers. Teams that play to win might have a few losses to the stalemate teams, but they can still win the tourney by having the most wins. If you stalemate every match you’re pretty much guaranteed to be last place. Making stalemates count as losses incentivizes the teams to play to win.

Q: So can I use earthgore?
A: yes. Four of them if you want

Q: What about siege?
A: be my guest

Q: blessed meridia?
A: yup

Q: four zaans?
A: please

Q: resource poisons?
A: bring em if you got em

Q: four pet sorcs?
A: Even if you can’t look at yourself in the mirror you can still come as a Petsorc team to this tournament.

Q: Guard?
A: sure. Be rdy to stalemate though.

Q: class restrictions?
A: I’ll be mad if there isn’t at least one 4 ice magden group present

All competitive pvp is good pvp.

Any coverage of the event?

Thogard

Either I or lord zele or pale orc will stream it.

If I don’t put a team together I’ll definitely stream it

Lord_Zele

I can stream it easily, especially since we have some time so I can schedule ahead to stream it.

Awwww yeeee

I hope there is a team of werewolves using infernal maw and morkuldin. It won’t be a good show unless I have no clue what is going on.

Heck throw in plague slinger. I want the server to explode.

Exactly!

But will that group be able to beat an all petsorc group?

Only one way to find out

You are right, better have them wear shieldbreaker instead:

If I stream this, I demand ONE Gold as payment for this. I know that's a bit much but it should be worth it!
But I'm going to advertise this as well when I go live.

This sounds disgusting

Zoo wins

DivineFirstYOLO

Awesome!! :-)

Left4Daud

Sounds interesting I definitely want to watch it somehow. Just a curious question, as you are hosting it in Cyrodiil, what happens if some random person trolls the fights by ganking or using siege on the fighting teams? What would be the backup plan if some 24 man ball group camped the event and rolled through all the fights? I don’t expect any of this to happen just entertaining the idea.

That’s a bit of an over generalization. Some of the absolute best players run really “average” builds a lot of the time. But that doesn’t mean they all don’t indulge in a bit of fine cheese from time to time.

Not all meta is cheese.

But yeah, siege right now is total cheese lol.

ooo. so many ideas. so, so many troll ideas. Your telling me, we only have to 1. keep all our members up, and 2. kill ONE enemy player in order for it to be a W? my theory crafting has already started.

mursie

i need a shower after reading this.

React

Cant wait to watch this. Although itll likely be more stalemates than anything, it will definitely be interesting to see what cheese people come up with.

This will be enjoyable to watch. A shame we don't have the same community on xbox

@Thogard thank you for doing this. :cheeseislife:

You should open a betting system about the winning composition, if possible with secret bets and managed by someone with enough integrity to not forward ideas to one of the teams.

TheMythicDawn

hmm i think I will offering 1k crowns to anyone who can successfully gank the participants during duels. whats cheese without some whine?

I kid I kid, but would be entertaining
