Guild vs Guild PvP Tournament (8vs8) - 500K Cash Prize!

Oughash · October 2014

I would like to participate, but I don't have a large enough group of friends to put a team together. If any groups are short a player or two please feel free to PM me here -- I play DK, in DC.

Sorry for the delay on the rules/guidelines.

I'm finishing the draft and will post it later today! Sit tight!

Cool.

Observant · October 2014

Where's the rules/guidelines? Is there another thread on this that I'm missing?

A guildie messaged and was told the registration hasn't opened yet... Didn't it open on Oct.25th?

I'm very sorry about the wait. It's taking us some time to figure out all the possibilities and rules to put in place.

I would like to announce this for now though.

The tournament will be held November 15th, Saturday ~8PM US Central Time.

We are finishing up the last bits of our rules/guidelines and extra info. Expect it today or tomorrow.

A tournament this big needs to be done right, so let's be a little patient

Couldn't agree more, just based my questions off of your previous posts.
Take your time, and don't be sorry. I greatly appreciate the background work going into something of this magnitude!

Awesome idea! Will the whole event be live streamed/recorded?

Yes.

Live Stream: twitch.tv/sypherpk
YouTube: YouTube.com/sypherpk

That's very nice to hear.

Great Thread! I'm still amazed there's no eSport arena for this yet.. does ZoS have any idea how big eSports are?! Clearly not or we'd have our GvG arena.

You'll be getting an email shortly from The Doom Brigade [NA/EP] with our roster.

Cheers,
Observant

If I remember correctly ZOS stated somewhere that ESO is not aimed to be a competitive game (unlike the prime eSport games are these days), but making them think about it certainly isn't a bad idea. ;P

Sypher · November 2014

Finished up the Rules/Guidelines

I'm incorporating them into a quick video and will post it very soon. So many guilds are interested and it's looking great!

If this is organized well, I'm sure we can get the attention of ZOS on implementing something like this sometime down the line.

Is this still on? And are you still aiming to have it this Saturday?

... I kinda need to start planning my weekend so this information will be quite valuable.

After discussing with the Legend officers, we decided to push back this event. There were a few bugs/glitches introduced with 1.5 and we are waiting for things to get ironed out (big fix happened today regarding healing ward, which was the main reason we wanted to delay)

After looking at how PvP plays out after today's Patch we will make an announcement. We've been very busy restructuring the dueling system with the recent removal of FC's which is what we relied on and are working out solutions.

Insurrektion · November 2014

So whats the progress of this? And will you record the footage and post it on youtube instead of keeping it unique to stream? Because I work every other weekend so there's a 50% chance that by default I'll miss it.

Slight suggestion, I'd wait till they fix the heal debuff stacking on lethal arrow. Else if I was a team I'd bring like 2-3 archers and just have them wreck people at range while the rest just delayed. It would be pretty silly.

There's so much questionable or "working as intended" things right now that we agree it's best to hold off until things settle down.

looking forward to the 8v8 event.

Sypher · December 2014

I'm compiling a small list of things that won't be allowed for the 8v8, lethal arrow being one of them.

I'll keep you guys posted.

Sort of like a banned cards list in TCG tournaments.

Radolfus · December 2014

Yo Sypher can I be a part of the Legend team?

Xiphyla · December 2014

Maidenname · December 2014

@ will be too afraid to face you guys I 1v1 Xiphy yo...

Sypher · December 2014

I will be making an announcement regarding this shortly after new years.

It's been delayed to oblivion, but they have sorta fixed some (not all) of the issues preventing us from having the event.
