250 Man LAN Tourneys
« on: November 09, 2012, 08:12:09 AM »
What Tourneys can we expect to see at Fites 250man LAN this year?

Any possibility of doing Starcraft 2 again this year?

We've almost finalized the lineup for tourneys....

Please just walk away. I don't want to have to stand here and say something so awesome that I'll have to remember it the rest of the day. Thank you!

Awesome, where will they be posted?  The Intranet or on here?

I would imagine the announcement of the posting will be here, but the meaty details will be on the intranet.

As ALWAYS, or for at least the last 7 years, they will be finalized no later than 30 days prior to the event. (Rules, maps, the whole shebang.)

I am still working out a schedule that doesn't terribly overlap. Some of it has been posted on the intranet.

  • UT3 (Confirmed)
  • Minecraft (Confirmed, creative build, voting has been moved to the intranet this year to stop outside voting.)
  • CS:GO (We might fall back to CS:S)
  • LoL (tentative)
  • SCII (We setup the bracket but all the SCII players seem to be good at scheduling themselves! You guys rock.)
  • Artemis (Tentative but if it does happen you will not need to purchase, but I suggest you do it's fun. We will be supplying the setup.)
  • TF2 (Confirmed, in fact this is why I am holding up the schedule right now.)
  • BF3 (I believe this is confirmed, but I will have to check with the person running it. I don't play this game and it having no LAN support, I personally don't endorse it.)
  • L4D2 (Confirmed)

Right now I am working with eXtine on the TF2 schedule. We have a few offerings that we are trying to narrow down to give people the most fun for their time. If you weren't aware we are going to have members of eXtv (www.extelevision.com) in attendance casting and helping us bring as much TF2 fun as we can without neglecting the other game offerings.

Hopefully that's enough to wet your whistle for now.
You can keep an eye on the intranet tournament page for what's in the process of being scheduled.

List of tournaments seems fairly similar to years past.  Looks good!

Id like to see the Minecraft creative tournament be a team event.  Theres the potential to have some bigger, cooler stuff than a single person can build.

I think I might have mentioned this to Czar a couple months ago, not sure if it brought up or passed around.  What do you guys think?

On a side note i hope theres more bf3 competition this year

:D

The only "problem" with making Minecraft a team event is what do we limit the team size to? (For awards purposes.)

I didn't really envision more than 4 to a team.  Big enough to make some cool stuff yet small enough to easily form teams, even for the pugs. 

sounds reasonable?
